Absence

Oh, why hello! Did you miss me? Let’s just say time ran away with me. Sticks N Stitches went really well. I hope to make the time to do a proper post about that this weekend. In other exciting news, for those of you who may have known, The Boy was laid off last April. Yesterday was his first day at his new job and we’re both just thrilled. Although it does mean we won’t be spending every waking moment together, it’ll probably be good for our upcoming marriage. Add a little mystery back in. ;) I hope to be around here more regularly again. I may even do some updates on the wedding planning. Just as a reference to anyone madly googling for ideas.

On a side note, it’s been almost 3 yrs since I started this blog and my 3 yrs of hosting is about up. Leave me a note if you have any good suggestions for hosting companies to switch to. I am currently using Blue Host but the cost has gone up by $90 for the 3 yr bracket. I would like to stay somewhere around $4.50 a month if that’s even possible anymore. Have a great day!

 

Sticks N Stitches Update (again)

I was informed Tuesday that we had sold out the upper bowl and that the only seats left  for the game were in the lower bowl. My contact with the Blue Jackets just emailed me to let me know that management had allowed him to release 50 more seats in the upper bowl at the $26 price point! So if you wanted to go but didn’t want to pay for a ticket in the lower bowl call Grant at the Blue Jackets now! 614.246.7224

 

Sticks N Stitches Update

We’re about a week and a half out from this year’s Sticks n Stitches with the Columbus Blue Jackets and we’ve already sold out our section in the upper bowl. Since the game is a very popular one for the Blue Jackets – great time of day and a worthy opponent – the upper bowl is now also sold out. The only tickets remaining for the game are in the lower bowl and come with a considerable price increase since our group discount isn’t valid in those sections. According to the gentleman with the Blue Jackets that I am working with, we’ve had inquiries so far for up to 136 tickets. I am starting to get a bit hopeful for next year’s game. If we can boost the number of attendees to 200 that should allow us to reserve the sky box and have more room.

If you’ve come over from Cast On or anywhere else please drop me a note in the comments to tell me how you heard about us. I am still in shock as our ticket sales went from 47 last weds to 126 tonight. That’s a huge boost! (and it wasn’t all my friends buying theirs at the last minute ;) )

I can’t wait to see everyone next Saturday! Go Jackets!

 

Now you see her…

…now you don’t. My friend Sparkli was awesome tonight and helped me to crop a person out of some of my engagement photos. I think she and D did a bang up job. Heck you’d never know something was missing if I didn’t show you the before and after. I showed the boy to get his approval before putting the pictures into the photo book we’re ordering for ourselves. I asked him if he noticed any differences and I swear you’d have thought he was reading an old Scholastic magazine. :P He managed to find every spot that I didn’t even notice. Except of course the one spot I was checking to see if he noticed. ;) hah. I think they look great. If you’d like to play your own game of what’s different here are the pictures:

Buy Your Tickets

Just a friendly neighborly reminder to buy your tickets for Sticks n Stitches. Right now we’ve only sold 8 tickets and I know I had a list of about 70 people that planned on going. Where are all of you guys? :) Also, if you know of any vendors who would like to donate to the goody bags or donate door prizes that would be wonderful. As it stands right now there are about 10 people who will get all the loot. :P I look forward to seeing y’all there!
