I have an interesting mix of emotions when it comes to attending CATS in Hershey in less than a week.
I’m disappointed because I wanted to sign up to take two classes while I was there. After all, this might be my last shot. And I was excited about the classes I registered for. I faxed in the registration form somewhere around the end of August. I have received no confirmation in the mail and my credit card hasn’t been charged. So, I wrote an email to the address listed on the website. No answer. I called the number listed on the website (that goes to Liz Turner Diehl) and left a message on their answering machine. No response. So, I guess I’m going to have to hope that the two classes I wanted aren’t full and that I can still sign up for them when I get there Thursday morning.
Disappointed would be an understatement.
And yet, I am still hyper-excited about going. I’m going to meet Sandie Vanosdall in person (again) and I hope the get to introduce myself as a shopowner to people like Jo Mason of Dinky-Dyes. Not to mention all of that S.E.X. awaiting me. Woohoo!
So, once again, I ask if anyone other than me, Cathy C. and Suz are planning on attending Hershey at some point next week. Also, has anyone successfully registered for any classes?
P.S. Notice any change to my blog? 😉
I wish I could go!
Your blog looks lovely – the colors and the clean lines make me wish I could dive right in and relax. 🙂
Hm, it doesn’t seem like very many people will be there this year. Bummer. I’m looking forward to lots of shopping, though. I realized this morning that I might not be able to get to Hershey until the afternoon, though. I get paid next Thursday and have to wait until my check is ready!
I went back and forth about registering for classes. In the end, I decided not to, because I’m registering for a tour at the Butterfly Festival instead (or maybe three tours, we’ll see).
Which classes are you interested in? I think the only one I thought seriously about was the Fabric Painting one with Catherine Jordan. I always threaten to go to a Liz Turner Diehl one, but then again, I remembered that you can buy the kits since the classes aren’t exclusive and I don’t bother.
Oh the days of yore when Teresa Wentzler gave awesome little lectures.
I know that on The Wagon, there are people who did successfully register for classes.
You made me realize how spoiled I am – All of the “professionals” I will be meeting, I’ll be meeting again, some of them before they were even professionals (like Jo!). I’m mostly looking forward to meeting lots of people (new and old) from the online stitching world.
And making an ass out of myself. I’m good at that, so I might as well have fun with it 🙂
Oh, and we’ve got a big ol dinner getting organized on the wagon (http://thewagon.yuku.com/topic/7222) – come join in!
It’s a bit too far for me to come I’m afraid lol. I hope you all have a great time there and I’m certainly looking forward to hearing all about it and seeing all your photo’s, so don’t forget to take your camera!!!
Oohhh! Pretty colors!
I have never attended any cross stitch event. Would lo-o-ove to, someday!
Your blog looks great. Would love to go to Hershey, but it is just a little bit too far for me.
Oh, I hope you get it all worked out and get to go to the classes you chose. Love the purple on your blog!
