Thanks for a Great Show!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

We had a great 9th Annual GLMM!

From celebrating Stacy's Birthday on Tuesday night, to her wonderful keynote on Wednesday, to the three days filled with shopping and classes, and the two amazing crop parties - from start to finish, we had a great time!

We gave away lots of great prizes... and we've uploaded all the photos we took to our Flickr account for your enjoyment! Heck - you might even find a couple you need for your scrapbook!

Thanks to all my wonderful students - I had a great time again this year in the GLMM Mini Album class. I look forward to seeing you all again next year!

Be sure to continue to check out the Message Board - as we plan to continue the challenges to keep everyone connected this summer!

Happy Belated National Scrapbook Day!

I meant to post my well wishes yesterday - but as you might imagine, our attention is focused on NEXT weekend's event!

I hope you all had a great day, and got lots of scrappin' done - and have whet your appetite's for next weekend's fun!!

I must say, that as I am finally getting almost everything checked off of my to-do lists, that I am getting more and more excited about next weekend!

Today we stuff the goody bags for the crop parties! We have lots of fun stuff to include this year! I hope you are coming to one of the crops to get one!! Friday is SOLD OUT - but there are a few tickets still available for Thursday!

Check out the SHOW SPECIALS page again - I've added lots more since I posted last! The vendors are offering some really great deals!

See you all soon!

One More Week!

I can hardly believe we have just one week to finish preparing for your arrival!

We've been busy - prepping class kits, following to make sure all the goody bag items have made it here, printing tickets, finalizing on site class counts with instructors, printing welcome packets, finalizing, finalizing, finalizing! Crossing T's and dotting I's!

Some of that finalizing business is for you!

• We've put up a Floor Plan on the website, for those of you who like to plan your GLMM down to the very last step!
• We've also put up a page full of Show Specials being offered by our exhibitors! Check out this page for some super deals!!
• We've also got a Money Saving Coupon for anyone who didn't pre-register!

Something really neat came into my email box today! I subscribe to the email lists of just about every local retail store - just in case I'm out in their area, and so I can keep up on what's going on in area scrapbook stores!

A Message from Carol Duvall

Hello, Hello to all of you planning on attending the big Mega Meet in May.....

Sorry to say that midst all of the excitement I have to inject a bit of a downer…..at least it is for me.

I am NOT going to be able to attend the big event after all! I was so looking forward to meeting and greeting many of you and having a chance to chat a bit but it seems that is not the way things have worked out.

I had figured it would be ok to travel to Novi after my recent knee replacement surgery but I never expected the “glitch” that sent me back to the operating room again nine days later! One surgery was not exactly fun, but TWO???? It was not a pleasant experience to put it mildly.

Fortunately, all is finally on track and I am recovering as I should be….but still not enough to be traveling and meeting and greeting.

I am so very sorry. It is truly my loss.

Regretfully,

Carol Duvall

Pre-Registration is NOW CLOSED! - Thanks!!

Did you miss pre-registration? That's OK - it's not too late to join us!!

• There are still lots of great class tickets available - these tickets will go on sale at 8am on Thursday morning at the Rock Financial Showplace.
• A very few crop tickets are available for Thursday night - these tickets will go on sale at 8am on Thursday morning at the Rock Financial Showplace.
• A limited number of Opening Ceremonies tickets will be available at the door - these will go on sale at 6pm on Wednesday evening.
• If you will be getting there early with pre-registered friends - consider taking a 9am class, while you wait for on-site ticket holders to gain entrance at 10am!

I'm all registered.... but now what?
When and Where to pick up your registration materials
Registration packets for pre-registered guests can be picked up by showing either your confirmation, or your photo ID at the Pre-Registration pickup counters which will be located just outside of Hall A at the Rock Financial Showplace. If you have Opening Ceremonies Tickets - you can pick up your packets between 6:00 and 7:00pm on Wednesday evening. All other guests can begin picking up tickets anytime beginning at 8am each day of the show. If your first event is a crop party - you will be able to pick up your registration packet in the evening before the crop party. If you are planning to purchase your tickets at the door - you can begin purchasing them at 9:15am each day of the show - and Class tickets are available beginning at 8am each day of the show.

I can't find my Confirmation?
I'm not sure I ever got one?
Some of our confirmation emails were stopped by spam filters, or immediately placed into spam/bulk/junk email folders! If you do not have a confirmation - you can log back into the GLMM Registration System and print one directly from there. Click on "View Registration" and then "Reprint Summary Confirmation" - then print that page! It's as simple as that!

We can't wait to see you in just a couple of weeks!
