Hallo from Wilna:
Hi there to all the SCRAP ECT attendees. I know the event is still 4 months away but I am sure you know how fast time flies and before we know it we will be packing our bags full with excitement and anticipation! I created this blog just for you! I hope that you will save it under your favorites and visit it often and see what kind of homework you got! One thing I promise you, the "homework" you will be getting will excite and inspire you and make you feel like creating! The actual project will be a BIG SURPRISE until the event. Of course you need something to count the sleeps for! But as I am a firm believer in finishing up stuff on the spot, I would love if you can have all your requirements ready for my class on the spot so that the moment we start working in the class you will be able to finish your designs and walk out of my class feeling a sense of pride and accomplishment. And then after the weekend you will be able to have something that you can show your family!!
Time line:
This month I will be spending time finalizing the workshop. You will be amazed how much time and effort goes into a class like this. (not just for me but all your teachers). It's easy to design something on paper but the working out of it to get everything from the sponsors is a little more ... umm... complicated. Once I finalized the project, I have to do some instructions and a zillion things along with that. So, what I actually want to say is that sometime during this month I will be posting some things here. One will be your PICTURES. I will detail it out for you and show you examples of exactly what you should bring to class. And then journaling: Yes, I mentioned the unmentionable. But believe me, you can do it and with my specific instructions even the most I-am-afraid-of-journaling person will come to love it.
Surprises:
I want to get to know you. So, I decided that I am going to do a few RAKS on this blog that I will bring with me and give to you in person at the event. All you need to do is leave me a comment. a) you can introduce yourself, b) ask questions (remember there is no such thing as a stupid question. The question you have the guts to ask is the one that 20 others didn't want to ask!) or c) tell me stuff.
I will see how it will work out in the end, but I really want some participation! Do you have any idea how scary it is for me teaching 500 girls I don't even know???
ALL the comments on every post will count towards the RAKS. Ain't that GREAT?
Current challenge:
I have a little challenge on my blog at the moment that I want to encourage you to participate in if you want. (if you don't I won't scratch your name from my list) Again for me it's a way to get to know ya'll a little better!! It's totally independent from the event!
What a mouth full!! are you getting excited? I know I am.
Love and a kiss
Wilna

Hi Wilna,
I am very excited about ScrapEtc and your class. But I'm a little worried about the donkey. I am flying to Nashville on Southwest airlines...will I have to buy him an extra seat or can I hold him on my lap? LOL
Hello, I'm Linh from Hoover, AL. I live just down the road from Scrap Etc. The 2008 event will be my second big scrap event ever and it sounds like it will be even better than the 2007 event, which was so great, I can't believe anything can top it!
Hello! I'm Amber Vongsamphanh and I live in the middle TN area. I'm really looking forward to April!
Hey Wilna - Between Scrap Etc. and SIS TV, I feel like I know you. :) I can't wait to finally meet in person. - Jessica Turner
so looking forward to this convention - first time to Scrap Etc. I am excited about the homework and your class.
Hi Wilna! My name is Jamie and I'm from Tyrone, Georgia. I am so excited to attend the Event! I missed the last one because I was 9months pregnant and no one trusted me to not go into labor:) I've been really enjoying all of the homework so look forward to seeing what you have planned for us.
Hey, Wilna!
Pretty excited about all you have to offer for the Event!
I am Brittney "just call me b" and I will be running crazy in the on-site store, and maybe popping in for a second in your class (hopefully!)
Looking forward to the homework................and even the journaling!
I am so excited. Can't wait to see what you and everyone else has in store for us.
Hi Wilna, Now that the holidays are over, I am definitely going to take some time getting into the spirit of this event. You sound like such a fun teacher and I appreciate your dedication to this class. I'm really looking forward to seeing this project!!
Hi- I'm a retired teacher (after 38 years).
Lucky me!! I have two grandbabies to scrap.
Am attending my first ScrapEtc. Event with my favorite daughter-in-law (well-my only daughter in-law but still my favorite LOL)
I love your enthusiasm! I am really excited about your project being a surprise, it will allow us to focus on our photo composition and journaling sentiments independent of thinking about how they will "fit" for a project...I can't wait! Darn...I have to!
Hi! I'm Tina. My screen name on SIS & SE is tinacloer. I absolutely LOVE your work and can't wait to have you teach me something good. :)
Hi, my name is Jeanne Ann and is live in Kentucky. This is my first Scrap Etc event and I am so looking forward to it. I have been trying to be good and get the homework done (it's started just not caught totally up). Living on a farm I already have a donkey that I will be glad to let you sell for me. Actually, Rick is a No Deposit, No Return type of donkey.
Can't wait to meet you.
Hi Wilna! With the turning of the new year, I am getting excited again about the event! Can't wait and will be looking forward to checking the blog to see what is cooking.
Thanks!

Whoo hoooo! 4 months and counting. My name is Michelle, and I will be there w/ my girls from GA. Can't wait! I took MM album track in Atlanta, and their products rock!
Hi,
My name is Mary Mitchell and I live in Battle Creek, Michigan. I have been scrapbooking for about 4 years. I have never been to ScrapEtc and can't wait to get to Nashville so we can get started on our projects. I think this blog is great because it also gives attendees the chance to get to know you better too !!! We are going to be just one big happy family in April.
Ok....I have a question. How do you add a picture to your blog comments?
I'd post a pic of myself....but I don't know how to do it. I don't see a space anywhere to add an attachment
Hi, Wilna!
My name is Gloria and I'm from Texas, born and raised-it's a whole other country (so I'm told). I'll have an accent, too so no worries! :P I'm looking forward to meeting you. I love your creations and hope that some of your talent will rub off on me at ScrapEtc!
Hi Wilna! So looking forward to your class! I'm Tammy and I live here in Nashville. I attended the first Scrap Etc. event and it made quite an impact on me, so I'm natuurally looking forward to this one as well! I live right near the event site so I will just stay at home each night...save a little moolah for some sweet purchases! I must admit, I am feeling a little overwhelmed with the work the teachers have been giving us but am working on it when I can. I am not much of as computer person so that is another strike against me in that department! I promise to put you in the favorites as you suggested, so I can check and try to keep up with your homework...no, that word doesn't frighten me as I enjoyed homework even when I was in school, but it's just getting to the computer to get the assignment and getting it done! Looking forward to the event!
Hi my name is Nicky and I am super excited to going to this event. It is going to be so much fun.
Hi Wilna! So glad to see your blog! Can't wait until April! I am Melita from CA and you can find me on the Scrap Etc. mb as ca longhorn. Can't wait to meet you!
I have never been so excited to do homework! LOL! Looking forward to seeing what all of you have been working so hard on to teach us. I will not get any "sleeps" the week before too exciting. I am from NY and there are some scrap stores far away from me but nothing near the city so can not wait to take these classes and also shop! Hugs Grace
Hi, Wilna!!! I was so excited to see your picture on the email this month!! When I registered, I didn't know who you were and had never heard of SISTV, so I'm so excited you are a teacher at the event!!! Thanks for all of your hard work in making this fun for us!!!
Hi Wilna! I'm Deanna, and I live in TN. I grew up in Alabama, and still have family there, so I visit them and Scrap Etc. as often as possible! I'm REALLY looking forward to your class. And let me say ahead of time how much I REALLY appreciate all the hours of hard work you put in to doing this class for us! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I know that it'll be great! looking forward to meeting you!
Hi Wilna,
My excitement is building! I am Jill from Louisiana and in the middle of trying to complete and start homework assignments. I missed the event last year, but definitely could not miss it this year! I am looking forward to meeting you and catching your enthusiasm about journaling. See you in Nashville.
This just makes it even more exciting!!
Hmmm my dog ate my homework???? guess I better not try that one huh? can't wait to see what you have for us!
Wilna,
We already have a donkey living next door to us, so I won't be needing another one. I do need any and all information about creating my own scrapbook/lifebook and am very excited about the event.
