The due date is today! I am loving all of the stuff I have seen so far! I can't wait for all of you to see it! I have heard from everyone but one person, so I think we are still on schedule.


I think I will receive the rest of the packages early next week. If I do, I plan to mail these out on Wednesday. If not, I'll get them out on Friday. Thanks so much for participating in this swap! :thumbsup2



Happy scrapping!

Hi..............I e-mailed you my address last week. Let me know if you did not get it.

For Group #4, I had said that my theme was TBA. I will do The Great Movie Ride theme for those photo mats if you would like to add that info to the list.

As far as my progress goes, I have orderd some of my supplies and am waiting for them to come. I do know what I'm doing for each element, so I just need to receive the supplies and get the time to put them togther. It will probably be later in May or early June when I mail since I'm working on two other swaps now and have two singing competitions in between!

Thanks again for hosting! ;)

YodasMom--I didn't get your address! :badpc: I'm sorry! Would you care to send it to me again? The Great Movie Ride theme sounds terrific! We love that ride--although, I have to say that I have never actually seen the Alien part. We've ridden it probably 20 times, and I ALWAYS cover my eyes and ears during that part! ;)

PrincessNancy96--I've got yours! I will give you a smilie now! :thumbsup2 Postal on Monday??? You are on the ball! :Pinkbounc

No problem! Thanks for my smilie!!!

I'm helping DD (12) work on her scrapbook for 4-H this year so I'm going crazy because "I" can't just do the work.. I'm teaching her how... She is doing well, but it is so much easier to do it yourself! I take steps for granted when I do it...it's just natural..trying to explain it all has been fun!! :teeth:

Sure, that's fine, I resent my info to you.

I love the Alien on GMR, but I think the sound effects make it what it is, too. Don't worry, he won't appear on my photo mats!! :goodvibes

BernardandMissBianca, did you take a MAW trip or do you do scrapbooks for the organization? I love that organization. I did some volunteer work for them in college. :sunny:

PrincessNancy96--I understand just what you mean about the "explaining" thing. I have that a lot with the girls I coach. I skip steps, and then sometimes, I just want to do it myself! :rolleyes:

oooh Lordy, I'll put my hands up and admit that I haven't even started mine yet! I've got ideas milling around my brain but nothing actually started. It's the beginning of the month so my other scrapping board has just announced the weekly challenge for 1st week of April AND the monthly challenge, have just finished the latter. Hoping to start swaps this week!

Will PM addy when I've posted this :)

Unofficially doing them for a friends trip.
I actually support Paul Newmans camp, The Hole in The Wall Gang. It is local here in CT but they help kids from everywhere. We have a big party here at my parents house every year and a friend makes t-shirts for it. He never accepts money for them, just asks that we sell them and give the money to charity. We usually raise $400-500 each year. Not a huge amount of money but if it gets 1 kid to camp then it's worth it.

StitchIsOurHero
04-01-2006, 10:33 PM
That sounds awesome! It's wonderful that you do that to help that camp! That really sounds like a great cause. :)

Quick question: I have the border in one group (don't have the list in front of me right now! ;) ). Would you all use a border for Sorceror Mickey? I was going to do Voyage of the Little Mermaid, but then I saw our Sorceror Mickey pictures (where you can meet him at MGM). Which one would be better for your pages? :confused3

04-04-2006, 10:45 PM

YodasMom

I would use Sorceror Mickey. He could also be used in layouts with the Hat in the background and for Fantasmic layouts. :thumbsup2

Me too!! I was going to do it for my library pocket and tag but I couldn't get it right. It looked ok but I'm such a perfectionist on stuff like that.
I think it's because the hat itself is not straight up and down. I was trying to go by pictures of the hat but the lopsidedness of the hat messed me up.

I totally agree..darn lop-sided hat! I even had all the moons and stars punched out and ready to go..and than that hat just flopped! I even had the swirl ears punched out!

Thanks, not much of a vacation since I'm taking the kids with me to grandmas but my mom is driving down with me so I'll have back up. Hey it gets me away from staring at the same 4 walls though.

I'm bringing all of my swap stuff with me so at least I can get started.

See you guys next weekend!! Stay out of trouble while I'm gone, and no wild parties!! And don't let to many people finish their swaps, ya'll are making my look bad. :lmao:

Hi Buffy,

We'll try to keep things down to a minimum around here!!! I'm tired of starring at the same 4 walls too..so DH tore one wall out this weekend so now I can stare at the wall framing!!! Oh, a sight to see! NOT!

Well, at least you have back up in the car driving down to NJ..

Have fun on your visit!!!

Thanks guys, that is what I thought but then I was looking at some of the other swaps and it was 2 journal boxes. The one I'm doing has been more complicated than I thought so I was sweating a second idea.

BTW Group 1 and 3 are general MGM themes and group 2 is Sci Fi dine in

I'm finished with my library pocket and just about finished the journal boxes but I ran out of tape for my xyron. I'm going to have DH pick some up on the way home tonight. And I will start on my borders tonight too.

Exams completed, designs sitting ready on the computer. Just need to grab some card from the store when I go to town on Friday and I'm hoping to go postal at the start of next week, that should give them just under a fortnight to make it over to the States - average is 7-10 days I think.

Mine are going postal today, assuming Scott can get to a post office but it's 95% certain he will do :) Hope they make it in time!

Ditto for me too! I wrote MGM Swap on the box since I'm also in the MK swap.

I'm almost done with mine. I just have to finish assembling my last element and then I will be ready to mail. They will probably go postal Friday or Saturday depending on work meetings. :)

Hi everyone! I am going to update the post on the first page, so I hope I will have what I have received marked and what's on the way marked, also. You all are just going to love the stuff from this swap! It is awesome! :banana:

I hope everything is going well for everyone! Thank you to all of you who sent little "surprises" with your stuff--you really didn't have to do that. . .it was a great surprise!

I am looking forward to seeing all of our MGM stuff together--you have NO idea how many pictures I have from this trip we just finished. . .I have "narrowed it down" to about 650! Must start scrapping! :rolleyes1

Bernard&MissBianca--I loved your stuff! I have been parading swap items in front of DH. He said, "Now, we will have to go to the Sci-Fi restaurant and eat!" He is so excited! We have never been there! I think he gives you credit for getting me to go--you know if I have the swap item, I have to have pics to go with it! :rotfl: You do great work!

angelmom--I loved your shaker boxes as well! I have not tried to make one of my own yet (and am too afraid to probably EVER try it), and I love these swaps because I get great shaker boxes! ;)

Go for lunch and get the burgers and fries or the Rueben. And the shakes are really good too. The first time we went it was the quietest meal we had ever had with the 3 boys, they loved it! Thanks for the compliments! I'm my own worst critic.

I also have not attempted shaker boxes, right now I'm attempting paper piecings.

All of the items I have seen so far are just amazing! I know you all will be thrilled with what you will receive! :cheer2:

Please check in and let me know how you are doing. There are a few people I have not heard from at all, so please let me know that we're rolling right along toward our due date right on schedule! :moped:

I have heard from everyone in the swap, except for one person--I think she's finished, but I haven't gotten definite mailing status. I should have all of the packages by Tuesday. It is already sorted, and I am hoping to get it out to you all on Wednesday of next week. :banana:

Oh yeah! I'll post pics! I'm always the one dying to see them in the other swaps! I'll post them as a link, though, if I can figure out how--and then I'll post a "spoiler alert" just in case there are people who are much better than I am about NOT looking!

I am going to wait until maybe Monday or Tuesday to post the pics--I want to give the last 2 swappers' stuff time to get here! :thumbsup2

Thanks for participating, everyone! I think you are really going to love the stuff! :sunny:

Hi everyone! One of the 2 we are missing is on its way to me! :banana: I have not heard from the other person--I thought she was done, but I haven't received them. I am going to wait until this Sat. (a week from the due date), and then I will just mail them out without hers. I hope everything is ok, and I hope to have them all by the time I mail them out!

Thanks, everyone, for your excellent work on this swap! I think you will be very tickled with the items! :cool1: I will post pics after I receive all of the items (or Saturday, if I don't hear from the person).

Have a great evening!

Hi everyone! PoohBearLovinMama--I got your stuff! It looks great!

Well, I still have not heard from the last person. She had posted nearly 3 weeks ago and said she was finished, but I have not seen the stuff. She has also not said she had mailed it. I have pm'd her, but I have not gotten a response.

I am going to sort the items tomorrow night when I get in from work, and I will either get them in the mail on Saturday or on Monday. I hope you all have a terrific weekend! You are going to love this swap stuff!! :cool1:

Hi everyone! I don't know if all of you will read this on this thread or not, so I'm going to post it both places. I have all of the stuff from this swap packaged up, and barring any disaster, I am headed to the post office with it in the morning! :thumbsup2 I am so impressed with everything you all did--you are such a talented bunch of people!

Two little things I should mention. . .in group 2, I somehow put 2 of JennyL's wonderful Tower of Terror tags in one person's envelope. When I got to the last one (for some reason, I packaged group 2 last, so they were all sealed), I was short a tag. This was the one for disneyfreakk. So, what I did was that I put a tag from group 4 (had an extra set, more about that in a minute) into your set, disneyfreakk. If anyone gets that extra tag, if you want to pm me, I'll send you postage and then send it on to her! :sunny: I'm sorry about that!!

Last little thing. . .one of the swappers in group 4 did not send me anything, nor did I ever hear from her. I waited, just to make sure, but after 2 unanswered, unread pm's, I didn't want to make you all wait any longer. I filled in (with help from DH) and made the library pocket/tag in group 4. It was the first one I have ever done. It looks ok, but it's not my favorite thing in the world! I tried, though! :rolleyes:

Ok, I am going to post a mailed/received thread for this swap! Please check in on it and let me know you got your stuff. To otherwise entice you to look there, I have posted the link to the pictures of the items!!! Go check it out!

Thanks again, everyone, for participating! This was my first time hosting, and you made it very easy!!! :banana: :cheer2:
