Anyone else doing some prep work for the big weekend?

What a great idea!! I have most of my kits organized by theme/park/character...but nothing else really. I did organize my photos right after our trip, so they are mostly ready to go!

I'm trying to talk the family into another trip for next year, so I really want to get as many of these pages done first!

I had talked my husband into the girls going to their grandparents that weekend...but my FIL is in the hospital AGAIN....and we probably won't do that to him, so he can build up his immunity! I'll have to find someone else to take the girls?! Hmmmm.....maybe I can send them each to a friend's house that weekend? Will have to see if that will work!

I am so excited for this Marathon! Just started scrapping last February right after the Marathon last year. I have been organizing my Kits, Freebies, and Trip photos since the beginning of the 2014. I still have a few more things to organize but I feel like I am really figuring out how I need to organize my things. I have learned SO much over the last year here! I can't wait to celebrate my 1 year Scrapanniversary with the Marathon!

I would suggest that between now the early hours of the 7th- you try to log into the chat room! Only because we usually have a ton of people who need Java updates!! So go Update!!!!

I can't wait!! This is where I get the bulk of my scrapping done too!

Great point! Even when I attempt to update my java it does not like Safari so I have to jump into Internet Explorer and it seems to work fine. Just another FYI for those who use safari. If you don't have promblems using safari PLEASE tell me what you did.

Great minds think alike! I updated my Java yesterday and tried to login today and had to do a couple of things to make it work. I need to try again on the day before to double check it silly Java always causes me grief!

well, it always seems to happen! Something comes up during the marathon that makes me miss parts of it! Why should this year be any different?!

Our Sunday School class at Church is having a dinner get together on Friday night....at 7pm! While it will interfer with maybe a couple challenges, hopefully it doesn't set me back too far...and I am able to catch up!

So excited! Like Cynthia, I make a list (mine a little different than hers). I keep mine in excel and put in due date, thank you sents, notes, LO created, etc.

I have been organizing and tagging my stuff in SBC for about a week now to get ready. Photos need to be organized next. I have something like 4 trips worth of photos to scrap

Just saw the schedule. The first one Saturday morning is at 5am my time Oh Lord, Give me Strength!


Also, I just un stickied the threads from last year's marathon. So if you want to sticky the master thread and the chit chat thread (or anything else!) go ahead!

Bwahhaahhaa! Now you know what I feel like when I have to get my DD to the ice rink at 4:50 am! That's where I'll be. But then that'd be1:50 your time.

I'm bad, aren't I?
