OT: Anyone live near Savannah?

Well I don't live in Georgia, but had to comment anyways. Why is it that hubby's seem to always think a place to live is more important than our scrapbooking addiction?? LOL Good luck on the move!

Don't know anything about Georgia but wanted to say good luck on your move.

Deb I just don't know.. lol.. He seems to think I should know more about future living conditions than buying scrapping stuff? I swear something is wrong with that man.. lol

thanks Tabitha. I just moved a year ago. I think I have some boxes still unpacked from the last move! lol I sooo hate it. Got to be done though. He's

You're welcome. Oh my. We had some things that we hadn't unpacked as well. Good luck :)

Michelle, I'm ready for you to get closer to me. You better not forget to let me know when you're coming to town. Good luck with your move.

I have had the good fortune of spending extended time in Savannah but it was B.S. (no, NOT bull@#$% :-) ) B=Before S=Scrapbooking!! So I'm not aware of how big a presence scrappers have in Savannah but I can certainly say, "I LOVE Savannah!" The people, the weather, the lifestyle. I could easily make Savannah my home.

I hope your move goes well.

Warmest regards,

Marcia Tomseth Vancouver, Washington

Michelle, your DH doesn't have his priorities in the right place! LOL Doesn't he know by now that they are scrapbook stores then a place to live? Have a safe move!

This meeting was really special for me in that a couple complete strangers ONE ESPECIALLY - (Katrina!) put their trust in their beliefs and came. Let me tell ya, I planned it for 6 weeks and had to convince Katrina she needed to come back and visit family that was here and a NEW one too!!

Then work tried like the devil to mess it up for me. the boss told US on Fri before that the next week, well we were all going to be busy and he could not let anyone off. I told him I HAD TO have off on Friday and Sat because I had a bunch of out of state friends coming in. I had to work a compromise. I got off for THREE HOURS Fri evening to have dinner with April, Ronni and Katrina. DID I SAY DINNER?! We forgoed that and went to Braum's which is a top quality dairy store chain here in the state. We ALL splurged on sweet treats!! Anyhow I worked 63 hours that week. We had a big production here in the city we did.

Sat. the weather was gorgeous. We started out here at my place and YES, April, the nieghbors are wondering what sort of 'group' or whatever i have gotten into that has a cowmobile and has a mascot that dresses up as a cow!! LOL!!

We were going to have breakfast somewhere, IHOP, Dennys or something. That did not happen either as we were all so envolved ogling each others books and treasures. I think my Desert Storm album was awed at for the pictures in it. MC had the most - SURPRISE!! As others said and WE ALL now, pictures do not do ANYTHING justice. You do not see the little details people put into their work or the true colors even. Anyhow me and Katrina were starving as we were only ones who did not get any b-fast. We, UH, I then decided we needed to try and meet our tentative schedule to see the things I thought the group would want to.

I had nevr been inside the OKC Nat'l Bombing Memorial before. I saw the statue of Jesus like two years after it happened and that did it. I have taken and told lots where it was, but could not get myself to go. It is a memorable place and a lot of its features are being included into the NYC World Trade center Memorial.

We then stopped at the original stockyards that date back to the 1850's where business is still done today. Then on to a lss ON THE OPPOSITE side of town I wanted to take them to. Then it was Mexican for lunch. Everyone was a bit taken back at first at the prices but I assured them it was well worth it, for quality and QUANTITY. Everyone except me took a doggie bag home, so I BELIEVE they were WELL FED! (not to mention - WARMED UP!!)

It was surely an experience I enjoyed and want to thank ALL who could come. There was a couple others I invited but never got any answers back. They just do not know what they missed!!! I hope to as the YEARS (?!) go by I can have the privelege to meet others in the group that I have not, AND I hope that others may include OKC or the state even in travel plans. There really is a lot to see and do here in this "out in the sicks" place!!!

Marsha Baker - WHEN YOU GET TO DALLAS, you must bring family up to visit!!

Sorry got windy but it was truly a blessing to me!! Oh one last thing, I DID ASK everyone Sat morning, Why no one had mentioned the meeting in the group because ALL seemed to be excited about it!!! ( I didn't because I felt I was the host)

Thanks again ALL and GOD BLESS!!

OKC Dave

I just moved back and lived here BS (before scrapbooking) and know there are a couple stores in Savannah but I haven't had any fun here yet.

thanks Jessie.. how far is Charleston from Savannah? My husband is from Columbia area so you know we'll be headed up that way for sure.

thanks Marcia.. my husband says its right up my alley.. the atmosphere and that I'll love it there. He's moved from the hotel into a condo with 3 other guys from work. I'm so jealous. They are living on the beach at Tybee Island and he's paying 185.00 a month with everything included! I hate him.. lol

thanks Kenda.. yeah he's not a scrapper..what does he know? I have to have important things taken care of like scrapping places or moving just isn't worth it!

ohhhhhh thanks Jacqui. I just signed up for weekly emails and it looks like a great store.. wonder if they have any houses for rent close by??? lol.. silly way to look for a place to live but you know.. priorities!!!

Columbia is less than two hours for me.
