Jen H. - Would totally love it! Your house seems so cozy and you and your family seem so fun! Unfortunately, I don’t sew, but I do scrapbook. I have a good friend that loves to sew and maybe I could bring her. We live in CO, so that is fairly close to good ole Kansas….

Sheridan Eketone - If only Kansas was next door to Auckland, New Zealand.. I WOULD LOVE to come!!!! Maybe you need to have one over here! 😉 Love your blog Meg! xxx
Michelle from Australia - There are now direct flights from Sydney (Australia) to Houston. And then it would just be another flight to Kansas from Houston I presume?
ACTUALLY, I have a better idea…..Meg, why don’t you put it in your diary to come to AUSTRALIA and do a tour here? I’m sure Craig would LOVE that idea. Wouldn’t you Craig 🙂
My husband says unless I can get a seat on a rocket, flying to Kansas for 3 days probably isn’t that practical. But I can dream can’t I???? Oh how I wish I could be there…..

Can you please send me your postal address so I can forward some essential items to add to the experience? If I can’t be there in person, I can at least send some chocolate on my behalf, right? Meredy xo

Ok, so I am not coming.
1. I have a Royal wedding to attend on 9.10.11 and my husband has made me promise he will reap the smoochie benefits of buying a new dress, shoes, purse and splurge for the nice hotel over the one her prefers. Ok, well, so the wedding is not royal, but I call it that.
And… it’s in Charleston.
Swoon.
2. I can’t leave my yard until our baby girl is adopted.
Pray she gets adopted fast. Then maybe I can come for round two.

🙂
lindsey

Kelly - ahh man! I just checked with my husband because I knew we were going to visit his folks over Labor Day weekend (it really is going to be cool because ALL of the siblings and grandkids will be there, even the family who lives in Wales who I’ve only met at our wedding) and we don’t get back till the 11th. 🙁 Boo hoo hoo. But! I live so close to Kansas I can taste it now that we’re in Colorado so I would love to come to the next one! Kelly
Amanda - Booo…I’m doing an art fair that weekend 🙁 Otherwise I’d have been there in a heartbeat!
Gretchen - I want to go! I have 3 kids age 7 and under and have never been away from them except the hospital to give birth. Seriously! Crafting is right up my ally!
Beth K. in CO - I would so come in a heart beat – as long as kids’ schedules allow or I can get coverage for them. 🙂 Details please!
Amanda - Yes please!!

i can’t wait to drive by and see the joy going on! : )
Sarah @ Handbags*N*Pigtails - Wow, by the looks of the comments, you could auction off some spots and make a big.fat.killing on this Meg!:) Id love to come. In fact, my crazy(but safe)obsession with your first crafty weekend is what made me sign up for BlogSugar so I could meet you. And now you go and plan THIS for just a few weeks before. Ugh. I soooo wish I could come but the airfare to Cali from NY is gonna kill my budget as it is. This would be my dream weekend though.

Katie Clements - Omg, I would totally try to come! I just moved to Kansas from San Diego, and my family would always plan craft weekends – so I’ve been craving one! But none of my new friends here are much of crafters….
I would be sooooo stoked if I got to go. 🙂
Staci - Oh wow!!!! I actually COULD come….my hubby has those days off…and that is a HUGE thing…he has to schedule his vacations like a year in advance??!!!!!!! Hmmm, are you already full??? I soooo want to come!!!!!
Sugar Mama - I’m very close to Kansas so this would be very doable and SO awesome! BUT…. does one need to be crafty to attend craft weekend? ;o) I’m good at copying other people’s ideas, but not coming up with my own.
And I don’t know how to sew.
Could I exchange my ability to organize and clean for a bit of someone’s craftiness? ;o)
jill - i really, really want to come! (even though i would probably cry on the way there because meeting new people scares me!) 🙂 your craft weekend is my daydreams when my boys are driving me bonkers.
lauren - It would be a perfect solo-journey for me 🙂 this mama needs it!
colleen from alabama - Kansas is a long way from Alabama but when i read your blog, i feel more like we’re neighbors! I think you must be a southerner at heart! I have thought about a crafting weekend for friends at my house… would love to experience one at yours first! What an amazing treat that would be. Thanks for thinking of those of us who were green eyed monsters when we read your post about “craft weekend with your bloggy friends”!
🙂

debbie - What an awesome idea!! I’d love to spend a weekend crafting.
Hey, just a thought for those of us who might not be able to make it to Kansas…is there a way to create the weekend on your blog? Maybe an itinerary of the events for the weekend…crafts,food, decorating, so that we could join in from our own homes? Maybe you could post updates on facebook every hour or so?
Sorry for the ramble! 🙂

Carly Winborne - no way! i totally had a dream about a craft weekend with you LAST NIGHT!!! i was up most of the night with a sick baby, so my sleep was in spurts with strange dreams all mixed in throughout. and i promise, this was one of them!! i went to your house with a bunch of my high school and college friends and we had to whisper the entire time. you had a puppy named “puppy”. (never said my dreams are original!). i don’t remember what we made but before it was over, i had color coordinated all your craft supplies! 🙂
Liana - Fun! I would love to craft and meet you ( and Waffle?). Awesome!
deborah@applesinwonderland - that weekend doesn’t work for me, BOO. you’ll sell out in no time. if my plans change–i’ll look for tix on stub hub. hahaha, or maybe scalpers in your yard? 🙂 (that’s kind of creepy–sorry–no scalpers)
Alissa - I would definitely drive the 10+ hours to be there! Exciting!!
Jen - can you believe i already have something planned that weekend!? it’s MONTHS away. DANG IT!!!!!! you all will have SO much fun. craft weekend = my dream.
