Scrapping in FL

Sounds good to me :)

sounds like a great plan come on !!!!!!!!

hi all... I notice there are many RCS scrappers in FL. Hubby and I are planning on retiring in the South.. Think I will take my FL map, mark and X where all of you live, and pick a spot in the middle!! LOL that way I can visit and/or scrap with each of you!!! What a thought!!

Now that's what I call, having a great set of priorities. Sounds like a great way to pick a place to live!

LOVE your RETIREMENT PLANING! esther

man neets that would be wonderful for you all good luck shaz

That would be great. Don't forget there are two of us in Lake City! We still get some of the north too. Changing leaves in some places, but I am sure that you want somewhere a little warmer to retire too, most people do.

No, Mel... LOL... see, I want to move north to Maine or Alaska, but hubby wants Florida.. he is from WV and always cold. So because this is his dream and most of my dreams have come true already, we will move South. To be honest, this year in CT the cold is getting to me too!! Anyway, I at least have to be near LSS or CM consultant.. Need to feed my addiction!! >

Send Particulars!! LOL But remember.. I need a craft room for scrapping and quilting!!...hugs Neets

But this is allllll country! It is great here. We are almost an extension of GA, but don't tell my parents. They can not believe that I picked up the accent. There is lots of land here. When I say lots of land I mean 5 acres at a time. It is awesome to have neighbors, but they do not have to be so close, and we have all the comforts of a big city, if it is not here than Gainesville or Jacksonville is just a hop skip and a jump a way. You know it sounds good. You like it...... Come on. I bet Patty would say it is great too. I have lived in the big cities. They are too crowded. I am just kidding. But there are CM consultants here. Patty and I go to the ScrapShops. It is great I am telling you.

Sounds like you live in a great place Mel. I'm pretty much in the country too, though I live in a subdivision which is very "suburban". I'm within 45 minutes of Tampa and St Petersburg, about 30 from Sarasota and 8 minutes or less from the biggest outlet mall in Tampa Bay.

This area is building up rapidly, which is really good for resale but terrible for the farmers that are being pushed out slowly as the price of land goes up and the real estate taxes though they haven't increased, meet the new evluations. Seeing this place expand is like playing the original SimCity!

Strangely enough we have 2 big quilting stores within 15 minutes. One is only 5 minutes from here, the other just a little further down the road. Considering there are not that many quilt stores overall in FL I'm not sure how we ended up with 2 so close together. I am considering opening a scrapbooking store, but oh the investment required is a pretty chunk of change!

I'm hoping that I'll get to meet the people in the group that live near me. Sounds like I live in the middle! Perhaps I can set up a crop on a Saturday. Shopping at the outlet mall in the morning and crop in the afternoon! So far, I haven't met any avid scrapbookers around here!

Hi ........ so as long as I have a car to get to the LSS and LQS I am all set, right? Thanks. for the info, we are looking for 1or 2 acres of land, an older home .. I want a front porch and my washer, dryer and craftroom for scrapping all downstairs!! Dont want much, do I? LOL I have a friend in Gainseville, Ocala and Leesburg, and would like to be about where you are!! Hugs Neets

Have you checked out realtor.com. It's a great way to shop around for homes in the area(s) that you might be interested in.

Gainseville,

I'm here in Merritt Island close to the Kennedy Space Center and the beach is 10 mins. away. Also, very close to Orlando's airport. This place is nice but so very hot for about five months.
