Directory form now open!

roflmao. =)) jeanne

Thanks Jeanne.

yes I'm sure that's what I meant pbtttt!

Howdy!

Making reservations for the last weekend of the Really Big Quilt Show in Houston is fairly easy; most out-of-towners come earlier in the week and leave Saturday p.m.. Last week, reservations were offered at the Hilton next to Brown Convention Center for Saturday onward. This still gives time to see the quilt show on Saturday & Sunday, show up for the RCTQ lunch meet-up on Saturday, maybe have a Sunday brunch date. Other hotels on the show route are also available, again, for the weekend at the end of the show, Nov 4-5. Beats the rush at the airport, too. ;-D

See you there!

Thanks so much! But I think I sent my form twice - sorry about that (at the bottom of the confirmation page it said that I was getting the directory in table format and I backed up to double check that that meant spreadsheet format. Then when I went forward I think it resent).

That's what I did too Alllison. It never did say I was getting spreadsheet form...but I hated to resend it the 4th time! There might be a glitch in there somewhere. I see we are not the only ones who have sent multiple messages. KJ

thanks for the heads up, Pat. yea i'd love book now but i'm not sure when i'll be down there. right now i dont even have 'getting to usa' flight worked out. last time i flew over i booked on wed and flew out that sunday. even picked my seat for the flight and when i checked in (after standing in line for an hour) they'd given my aisle seat away so i was stukc in the middle (5 seats) section and also had a puddle in carpet under my feet which all they could do was put a folded up blanket there for the whole flight. argh. something weird always happens when i fly. i'll probly not book that flight til a few days before i get there when i know where i'll be coming from. i might have to bus my way across the usa and then be begging to be allowed to carry my vase onboard the flight across the pacific. i cant check it in as luggage, its way too fragile, heck i have to go get it myself cuz no one will insure it to ship/mail/courier. :( no idea yet where i'll stay. i just dont know what i'm doing yet. cheers, jeanne

Just be sure to keep in touch the best you can. You know you have friends spread all over our country who would help transport you and your vase. We can be the Pony Express for Jeanne! KJ

You are in very good company!

kinda hard to know where i'm headed as i'm not driving. i'm at the mercy of others somewhat. and buses/trains dont stop at all the best LQS now do they, lol. i'm open to any/all suggestions tho. :) i gotta say i sure dont like doing stuff by myself. everything is more fun with someone else. i like the idea of Pony Express, lol. maybe i need to find a stagecoach, lol. yeaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaa!!!!!! what a hoot you are, lol. jeanne

I'm just sorry you've been bombarded with multiple forms Alice. Kj

Multiple forms were not unexpected based on the last revision. I just figure folks love to see the confirmation page so much they just continue to fill in the form. Of course, in hindsight, this could have been a good thing. I could have made the first form free and charged FQs for subsequent forms. One FQ for the second form, two FQs for the third form, and so on. Hmmmmm, let's see the next revision is when??????

I have this cartoon in my head of Jeanne in a big (I mean people sized!) leather pouch with her head sticking out while we hand her over from car to car....much like handing off a baton in a track relay race. A car slows down...the pouch appears...the other one grabs her and zooms off to the next quilt shop or show!!!! Ragmop's PT Cruiser should suffice for a stagecoach. KJ

((splutter))

Now there's an image just as I am off to bed!!!!

If you don't have Excel, you can download an Excel reader from Microsoft.

I have Lotus 1-2-3 and it handles Excel spreadsheets just fine; other spreadsheet software may also be able to handle it.

nope, all i got is the stuff that comes with windows xp. no extras in the way of ms office or whatever else is out there. maybe i should look round the net for something free to use it with. beats heck outta me at the moment. if i get stuck on arrival of the directory, i'll have to ask for help then. cheers, jeanne
