I will definitely try to play this one as I missed the previous Scrambles! Thanks for the early reminder, Linda!

Will mark it on my calendar! Hope to join in the fun!

Hi Linda,
Count me in. I just love the scrambles :)

Can't wait, Linda! Looking forward to it!

Hi Linda, unfortunately I will be working, hope you have a great scramble.

I think I won't be able to participate in this scramble. I have my first running workshop at that time.

Linda, I'll try my best to join!

It's on my calendar!

Adding it to my calendar now. Saturday the 9th at 4pm Eastern. Looking forward to it.

Its in my calendar - not that I screw it up like last time....

Virginia, Jennifer, Lucille, Barb, Ava, Judy, Lisa and Cornelia - so happy you plan to join me!

Kim and Linda - we'll miss you! But I hope you'll check out the theme and try to post something later. Maybe do the "personal Scramble" like I've done - just timing myself for the fun of it - LOL!

Linda, that sounds like a great idea, once this next two weeks of working everyday is over I will give it ago.

Looking forward to it!

I can join in! Yay!

That is a great idea, Linda! I'll have time later that day!

Great time for me Linda.... except I will be in the middle of a 8km fun run/walk with around 70,000 others. It's the annual Round the Bays run/walk here in Auckland. Enjoy the scramble

Glad you can make it Maria and Cecilia! We'll miss you, Dawn - be sure to tell us how the 8K goes; it's hard to believe I was just returning from New Zealand around this time 7 years ago!!

Great - hope to make this, Linda :)

Dawn - have a great time - 8K.....eeek (LOL)

Linda, I am volunteering at our local high school for a showchoir competition but will be sneaking out to play. Not going to miss your scramble LOL!!!

Hoping I'll be well enough to participate :) I have missed doing these scrambles :)

Hope you can make it, Janet and Kailash! And Karen too - I think we were typing at the same time and I just noticed your post!!

I added a photo of the prize I'm offering. And thanks to Hero Arts for donating a digi prize too!!

Yep, it's on my calendar alright! And I showed up yesterday at 3 to Scramble and no one else showed up!! Oh yeah... it's next Saturday!!

Judy, you crack me up!! (laughing)

Linda, what a generous prize! I'm excited to play next weekend and I'm looking forward to seeing you later today! :)

Great prize, Linda! I haven't done a Scramble in such a long time - I may have to practice today!

Judy - OOPs :)

Nice going, Judy - well, hope you can make it this coming Saturday too!! Yah Barb, can't wait for our Mall of America fun! It'll be great to see you. LOL - Janet, I practice too - set a time, think of a theme and off I go. I do my samples for a Scramble I host in a set time too - no sense in doing a sample that took you hours when the participants only get 90 minutes, right?!

On my calendar, ty for hostessing.

Looking forward to it.

Glad you can make it, Cat & Karen - we'll have fun!

Not sure if I got this right Linda, but I think that is 5pm my time here in New Brunswick. So I am gonna give this another try. I missed the last one due to a death in the family, so it will be great to get out my new stamps and get inky. It has been way to long since I have taken part in the fun and hung out with you amazing ladies. Thanks for hosting. Hugs.

That's the conversion time I get, Dana - hope you can make it! Sorry to hear about the death in your family!!

I just posted an invitation in the LOVE! group. I hope we find some new players to join in the fun! www.flickr.com/groups/lovehandmadecards/discuss/721576329...

Is it Saturday yet??

Judy, you're making me laugh!!! (again!)

I did that a couple of scrambles ago Judy ! I posted a "One hour to go" discussion, only to be told I was about 8 hours early!

But I'm definitely joining in this one. 9pm. Thanks Linda - I won't have to burn the midnight oil this time.

Linda, I'm hoping to be home and to be able to play along.

Oh so wishing I could play along. My son has a basketball game at that time! Sorry to miss all the fun.

Glad you can make it, Janet and Kathy! We'll miss you Laura - have fun at the game!!

I'm not sure I'll be back in time, but I'm gonna try like the dickens, Linda!

Judy - it's a good thing I had no liquids in my mouth or they would be all over my keyboard, girlfriend!!! I laughed till I cried! If we could put you in a bottle and take you twice a day, this world would be a much better place! XO

Sorry I missed the note by Maria - thanks for adding an invite to the LOVE! group - would loooove to see more players! And Judy, you are a hoot - the week is dragging a bit isn't it? Hope you can play, Marcy!! See you all soon - just a few more work days to enjoy, then it's time to play!

10pm here in the Netherlands, I can play! I haven't joined a scramble for about 6 months I guess. So I can't wait!!! See you Saturday!

Woo Hoo, Hilde - glad you can join us!! Anyone else?

I thought I was going to MISS out, but I had my times all messed up and was thinking it was going to be at 11 EST, but thankfully, once I realized I was so far off, it realized I can PLAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's actually 4PM Eastern Time! I'm awful with the conversions, but so HAPPY I can now play! YIPPEE!!

See you tomorrow afternoon at 4 pm!! (My time)!!

Wish I could play along, but we are headed out of town. Will keep you all in my thoughts. Have fun!

Yes, Lisa - 4p for you; glad you can make it! Have a fun weekend, Maureen - we'll miss you! Less than 24 hrs to go before the fun begins!!

Counting down.

Can't wait to play, Linda! :) Trying to guess what your theme is. . . hmmm?

This looks like so much fun, but I'm scheduled for the True Scrap class which will run all day...have a great time, ladies...I KNOW you will :-)

heey? thought the scramble time was this morning (morning for me)? Did I switch am and pm times? That means I can play, if the scramble is tonight!
hooray!

Linda, I've been given a ticket to an Italian Masterclass with a famous chef at 10am, which means I have to leave home one hour into the scramble. Sorry, I may have to skip this scramble unless I can do a card within 30 mins!

Looks like there's a good chance I could play along today! Keeping my fingers crossed!!

Just maybe I can stay awake long enough tonight. It looks like it's 11pm in South Africa. Hope to be around for this one Linda, it's been a while!

Linda Van Vliet... If my math is correct, 1 pm PST is 10 PM in the Netherlands. Might be worth double checking, but I hope you can play!

Counting down too - can't wait for this afternoon (for me)! Sorry you can't make it barbghig! And glad you can make it now Linda - yes, it'll be tonight for you!

Happy cooking, Cecilia - I'm betting you can do a card in about 10 minutes, though, leaving you 20 to upload it. Give it a try! And Cindy and Brenda - hope you can join us! Brenda - just grab a nap this afternoon so you're fresh tonight!

Everyone - I'm off to run errands this morning (at least in my time zone) but I will be back about 3 hours before Scramble time to ramp it up. This Scramble is just what I need to chase away this gloomy day here in MN!

Gloomy day is right! Last week we had a foot of snow and today it's raining - looks like winter and spring are fighting each other - hoping spring wins the battle!

I'll be dropping my son off at work and racing back here to play - can't wait! :)

I might be able to play along with this one! Will get started on my errands early so that I can be back in time.

Just washed the floors and talked dh out of going to a movie until tomorrow!! so, if no one changes my plans I will be Scrambling!!! It's too much fun to miss ... and who knows? LInda may decide Inchies are the way to go .... not!!!!!!!

LOL Judy!! :) You really are awesome!!

I'll be playing today!

So glad you convinced hubby to change plans, Judy! My hubby wanted to go out and have a late lunch - sorry - not happening!

Yeah! I might be able to play along if my eyes are still open!

I think that is 4 pm in Indy? I told my hubby we would have an early dinner tonight around 4 because he is going somewhere tonight. I guess I will have to have a quick dinner and hurry him up so I will have time to play. Hope to see you then!

Hope you can play, Laura! Get those errands done. And Judy - glad you're able to play - no inchies on the docket but you can always include them if you can't resist! Glad you can play too Arlene. And Lai-Yoke hope you can stay awake!

Just four hours to go now!

Linda, I am thinking it's three hours to go .... 3 pm central, right?

Yup - you're on Eastern time, Linda, so see you at 4 your time! Maybe the DH needs to go out for dinner - LOL!

You got it, Judy! I'll have to update to say less than 3 hrs to go now :)

Don't know what went wrong with my original calculation ... I rushed here thinking it was almost over, but I see it's still 3 hours to go! So that's 1:00 am here.Will I stay awake?
Easy peasy for a night owl! But that means I'll sleep at 2:30!! Is that wise?!

Just take a quick nap, Janet - then you'll be fresh.

I'm ready to go, just a couple of hours away. Perfect for me so I can have some rest after a busy day! See you later!

Linda, I am apologizing in advance as I am not going to be home this afternoon. The snow melted, the sun is shining, it's 55 degrees and my other half wants to go outside. Darn! I hope it's a wonderful scramble and I'll be sure to look at all of the cards.

Next time we have a Scramble, we will have to plan something to occupy the guys!! Mine loves to watch a golf match .....

2 hours to go! I might be able to play. Ger x

Glad you're still able to join us, Hilde! Enjoy your sunny day, Ava - don't blame you a bit for wanting to get out there. Gloomy and rainy here - I'm glad to be back home before it freezes!! Great idea, Judy - kinda like having a lounge at the mall where the guys can hang out while the gals shop! Less than 2 hours til Scramble time! Hope you can make it, Ger!!

I think I can join in, too! Looking forward to it, Linda.

Yay Sally - so glad you're able to join in today! I'm sitting here rehearsing my chorus music (show coming up next weekend). It's good to have a gllomy day so I can stay in and get something done! And you all will brighten my day with your creations in just a bit over an hour!!

I'm really glad my hubby likes to watch golf too, Judy! I'm off soon to get my son to work and run an errand or two - will be back in plenty of time to play!

Barb - you are so like my friend, Jan, who always can squeeze so much into a short time! Less than an hour til Scramble time - the excitement is building!!

My son David asked me to join him to the ski hills this afternoon! But you know me...Mama would rather STAMP!! Looking forward to the challenge, Linda!

Linda, I'm looking forward to joining the FUN today.
My computer was recently repaired.
My camera battery has been charged.
I'm working on clearing my work table.
(I don't have any M&Ms.)

Thanks, in advance, for hosting.

I have Easter M&M's Martha! Just love those springy colors! Plenty to share with everyone!

LOL Virginia - no contest Scramble vs skiing! All I can remember of learning to downhill was doing what I called the "nylon slide" on the backside of my ski pants! Cross-country became more my speed.

Looks like you're all set, Martha, except for the snacks! I have Jelly Belly jelly beans - my faves - and a big cup of coffee. Ready for the fun with my chorus rehearsal recording playing in the background...

I just need to prep my craft table, and have some lunch. I finally remembered one BEFORE it starts :)

Easter M&Ms sound yummy too, Sally! Had my lunch already - tomato rice soup, perfect for this dreary day; enjoy your lunch, Karen and see you back here soon!

Im ready! Table cleaned and ready to start.

This is the problem with hosting a Scramble - no incentive to clean up the table!! Glad you're ready to go, Linda!

Woohoo! I am home, Mom is settled in with a book in the Living Room. Looks like I can scramble!

Very excited and almost ready to PLAY!! Only a little more than 30 minutes to GO!

Heading over to clean off my desk and be ready! YIPPEE!!!

Way to go, Kim and Lisa - I'm getting another cup of coffee and hunkering down by the computer. Less than 30 minutes to go and it'll go fast!!

Just got back home - coffee mug in hand and desk is all clean! I even stopped to buy some M&M's! I'm ready to go! :)

You are quick, Barb - glad it's not icy out there yet!!

No ice yet, Linda.

I did have my driver's side window down a bit because it's so warm, and a big truck went past me, racing through a huge puddle of water, and I got SOAKED! It was quite the shock but pretty funny too! :)

Bet that was a shocker, Barb!! I ran to Anchor Paper this morning (Distress Stains - buy 2, get 1 free!) but didn't stay for the make 'n take which didn't start til 11. Luckily it wasn't raining too hard yet. Less than 15 minutes to go. I'm prepariing the Scramble thread so will stop checking in here. See you in a bit...
