Re: M-C.. its official..

I get to Atlanta or thru it more regular than other parts of the country. I missed meeting Arleen before, schedule conflict and ain't heard from or seen Elise in here for a spell.

A mini meet there would be great and th chance to meet new people is always something special!!!

When I come that way i always come across 20 from Birmingham also and stop in Carrolton for fuel.

Who knows one day?! I also know where that sb oulet is on 75 nort in marietta, right off the intersate and can park a semi nearby - LOL!!!

Ang and Dave, I'm all for that. I'm not far from I-20, north of Six Flags, and it's not all that far from the Alabama line. Ang, are you near I-20? Dave, you'll like the outlet store next to I-75. There's also a good-sized JoAnn's, a Michael's, and a Garden Ridge (which has a craft and scrapbook section) within a mile. I like that area. I would love a chance to get together with some local RCS'ers. Especially if we can get Dave there, too!

Mel K

Oh, I might just have to drive up if you guys get together. It will also give me a chance to see my 2 nieces. That's if you don't mind having a Floridian crash your party!

Mel I live within about 10 minutes of I-20 not too far at all. As soon as we get situated and get some things taken care of, I will have to give you a number you can reach me at. How does that sound Mel. We could at least talk and share ideas too, My DF (dear friend) may be willing to come with me too... but who knows. There is also a Hobby Lobby in Austell (At least I think it's Austell.. could be Mableton there on 78) 3 or 4 stores in the relative same vacinity...... I smell trouble.... DAVE... We may need that Semi..... I smell trouble... bonsi...... LOL...

M-C... the more the marrier in my opinion.... Would love it.

Sounds wonderful. And M-C, we would be thrilled to pieces to have you come up. I'm also hoping to make a trip to St Pete, which has been our family vacation spot for generations, next summer. I wanted to go this year, but couldn't find a catsitter. (I have six, one of which needs daily insulin shots. Darned expensive to board.) The Austell Hobby Lobby is about a mile from me, and about 15 miles from the outlet store/JoAnn's/Michaels area. I usually hit all of them in one trip. I'm still looking for good stores in western Atlanta, I know there's some I've missed. Angela, let me know when you are settled. (take the invalid out to email), and Michelle, when you reach the Atlanta area, give us a buzz! We'll find a central point and have a fun Saturday!

Mel K

Mel, Absolutely will let you know. It sounds like it would be lots of fun. Although I am not sure where a central place where we could go to scrap would be.. meaning after some shoppping actually sitting down to scrap a bit.. I'm sure we could find something though... Anyway.. MC would love you to join the fun.. Oh, by the way, there is a Michaels & JoAnn's in Douglasville, although I'm not sure how much different they would be from the ones in your area. Seems they would probebly carry much of the same things.. I havn't really checked out what JoAnn's has to offer, I know their cross stitch stuff is pretty good. BTW, do any of you happen to cross-stitch or latch hook by any chance. I did bring a few cross stitch projects with me to do. The only reson I didn't bring my sb stash is because my cart is so big I didn't have anywhere to put it here in the camper.

Ang.

I know that area near that outlet where Joann's is and all. I shopped there and it is one of the biggest Joann's I have been in. hank God I did not see or finding Garden Ridge. That store is a danger - LOL!

There was a lss in Douglassville I think that is the suburb just west of Six Flags?) but when was there last year it was closed. I shopped the Michael's there and it is like every other one. It is nicer than most and bugger too.

Boy wouldn't a mini-meet there be cool? You just need to roust out Arleen though!!! Maybe as school starts she can break free of the girls.

Dave, Yes, Douglasville is just west of Atlanta/Six Flags area. I used to work on Thornton Rd at the Nissan dealership. Anyway, I am very familiar with Douglasville since I lived in that area a majority of my life. I am not sure of the lss you are speaking of, but I do know where the JoaAnn, Michaels, and a Hancock fabrics is there, AND there was a Garden Ridge behind the JoAnn's and at first it was a Home Depot so you can imagine how big that GR was.. it's now an Old Time Pottery store. I wish GR hadn't left. It was nice. Havn't been in a GR other than that one. Again they had a good cross-stitch section and never got to check out their sb section. Ang.
