KAmommy,
I got your package today- Thanks for the goodies! Everything looks fab! I love the colors and the flowers.

BTW, I will be gone all weekend. I'm leaving in the morning to go to a wedding reception in Barrinton, RI. Does anyone know of any good scrapping store up there?
DH will be home, so if something arrives it will be safe- he is my postman most of the time!
Have a great weekend!

Posted this morning :thumbsup2 . I just squeezed it in under "small packet" but look out for a BIG small packet:lmao:

ETA: on the strength of this swap I've decided that instead of starting another vacation/days out album I'm going to do one for the whole year using these goodies! I'll have to be very disciplined and make sure I keep a note of what happens when!

Replacement pieces. What happened? Just being nosy of course...;)

AlexWyattMommy
03-24-2007, 07:39 PM
Turns out the wonderful shaker pieces I'v made recently, the glue does NOT hold from transparency to foam. If bent or held wrong, the seal breaks and out tumbles little beads.

So to those of you who have my shakers from Tomorrowland or Japan, I am so sorry. I will not be using that technique anymore. Guess I have to stick double sided sticky foam.

Mickster
03-24-2007, 08:09 PM
Oh no! I'll check my Japan ones. I wonder if I can fix them if they have a problem...:confused3

rlovew
03-24-2007, 08:19 PM
I was able to fix mine by adding some double sided tape in the loose places and it seems to be holding up fine in the album.

Rebecca

Mickster
03-24-2007, 08:27 PM
Good to know. I'll have to try it! (If I need to that is... :thumbsup2 )

Turns out the wonderful shaker pieces I'v made recently, the glue does NOT hold from transparency to foam. If bent or held wrong, the seal breaks and out tumbles little beads.

I now use Scotch double sided permanent tape to hold the transparency to the foam when making shakers. I too learned the hard way that glue doesn't work.

PrincessNancy96
03-24-2007, 08:55 PM
I'm going downstairs tonight to make sure the ones I made for the slide mount swap are still going strong.. if not.. tomorrow will be an emergency do over!!

AlexWyattMommy
03-24-2007, 09:59 PM
Shawna already tried with the glue she had. No luck. I need to get with Miss B&MB to find out what glue she used in her lesson. Maybe I can buy some to send to those who have my shakers. For some of the ones I made, sticky tape will work. But I'm afraid the Japan ones don't have enough room at the edges for that fix.

rlovew
03-25-2007, 06:44 AM
I cut the tape into small pieces for the Japan one and it has worked so far. I loved that whole kit so much I couldn't bare not to use it so I found a way to fix it.

Rebecca

AlexWyattMommy
03-25-2007, 09:07 AM
Thank you Rebecca. I really liked making that whole kit too, hence all the pieces to it. You really used it? That is so cool. I've not made any pages other than the preschool books since starting to swap, so I have not used any yet.

rlovew
03-25-2007, 01:01 PM
I am in the middle of my Epcot book. I have some pages finished- Japan is awaiting 1 picture to come in but other than that is done. I decided it was time to use my swap pieces and I have used over 100 swap pieces in the last month (i count each seperate part of a kit as 1 piece) and I have many more awaiting pictures. Some of the pages of my EPCOT book are awaiting the taking of pictures. Mission Space is our favorite EPCOT ride and we have not taken any pictures of it.

Mine will be going out tomorrow morning-

I gave up finding apple eyelets in the city of Orlando. 8 stores within 2 hours of me and NONE had them. (WHY I decided they would be perfect when I couldnt order them is beyond me...) so I went with Apple stickers. Not the same but they should work...

Oh Gosh....I wish I had known!! I have apple eyelets and brads coming out my ears!! I had originally ordered them for some Wicked Witch and Snow White elements. I would have given them to you. Sorry! I'm sure your things will be wonderful, though!

Okay, I am going to be late. Had my items done, but not bagged, before we left for our cruise. Left them on the downstairs counter, thinking they would be safe. But . . .

When I went to get them to prepare them for mailing, found that something had gotten spilled on them and a lot are ruined. :sick: So, I will have to redo them. No problem! (can you tell I've been to Jamaica??) However, I won't have the time to do it until Saturday. I will work hard on them and get them in the mail Saturday or Sunday at the latest. Hopefully everything can be ready to go and my items just slipped in.

Should have followed my gut feeling and bagged them, but I was tired and short on time. Learned my lesson!

I am so, so, so sorry for this!

Disneyland Emily- Your stuff came today. It looks great.

We are getting close- the last three packages should be postal by Monday. I plan on swapping them out on Monday and have everything ready to drop in the last three sets when they arrive. Everyone will love getting this swap back- lots of great page kits in put in your books!
I will take pictures and post them when they go postal.

I am done! I ended up redoing them all as I couldn't find the other paper, so it took longer than I had planned on, especially with some medical issues with my mom--that I was not counting on--thrown in! They will be sent priority on Tuesday!

Sorry for holding this up, not what I planned at all.

My package is mailed. Will go out tonight.

My mom lives with us and is 85, almost 86. She fell aabout 3-4 weeks ago and didn't tell us. Finally told me this weekend, she has bruises and some numb fingers. So, need to schedule appointments to get this looked at.

She has some other issues as well and we--dh and I--are in heavy discussions about nursing home care and when to do it, where to go, etc. I have no siblings, so it all falls on me and it is a very hard decision to make. My mind tells me one thing, but my heart says another.:confused:

I know it's a very hard decision... Make sure you ask lots of questions when and if you decide to go in and look at the nursing homes.. Check safety, and contact the health department (or you may be able to find it on the net) about their quality of care, I can't think of the word I want..but they evaluate them every year and give them their accredition. If you want a list of questions to ask.. feel free to PM me.. my Aunt placed my Grandpa in a nursing home because of his dementia.. do we hate it yes...but we had to keep in safe.. :hug:

Phooey. I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. My parents are in their 60s and I can't even begin to think about making those kinds of decisions. pixiedust: to you as you begin this new phase.

MazdaUK
04-04-2007, 03:52 AM
:grouphug: Its a hard decision, especially if you have no siblings to share the debate. Personal recommendation is always worth having (even if its negative, as in "don't go there" ), so ask around and see if anyone has recent experience - remember these places can change so just because someone's Aunt Ethel loved a place 15 years ago doesn't mean its the same now.

Wait til you hear this--the package was .61 ounces too heavy to have gone through without me going to the post office counter! Yep, the package weighed 16.6 ounces. So close--my little scale at home read just under a pound, so thought it was okay.

The clerk was so nice--she was almost apologetic. It is the airline rule, so their hands are tied.

So close- My friend just flew home last week and her suitcase was 3 lbs over- She had to pay $25 becuase they would not let her remove something- They said once they took the bag, it could not be played with! I called Delta myself, because I booked the ticket!
I'll be on the look out for it!

The person ordered her stuff and is waiting it's arrival from the Vendor (That should be on Wednesday). She can then put it in the mail to me but it will be early next week before I recieve it. Everything on this end is done and ready to ship. What I need to know is do ya'll want to wait until next or do you want me to ship them back this week?

Thanks,

Ok ladies,
some of you can start watching the mail. I sent out 11 packages tonight at the post office. These packages went to anyone in groups 1 and 2 only. If you are in group 3, I'm holding your package because our last swapper sent her stuff to me today. I will hold you packages until next Thursday (4/19/07) and then I will complete the set myself and ship them out to you no later then Friday.
I will post pictures tomorrow- I'm way to sleep to try tonight. The work on this swap was so creative. I know each of you is going to enjoy what you are recieving. Thank you for all the little goodies that where sent- I did not expect them, but they will be used as I create the story books of my children's life!

I am feeling better. This is the standardized testing week at school, so things are crazy! I will post pictures- I promise but it will be this weekend. I spent about an hour taking pictures last weekend but they are all fuzzy, so I have to dig all my stuff out because I was so effectent that I put them away as I took pictures.
Sorry-

I got mine today! Everything is wonderful! (I still think mine looks like a Reese's peanut butter cup. :lmao: )

I have a few questions though:

1. KAMommy: What is the name of the font you used on your tag? I love it and it would be wonderful on an invitation! :)

2. Mickeyteacher: Why did I get 1 embellishment pack? Was that a mistake? I can send it back if it was.

Thanks for hosting! :)

You got an embellsihment bag because I did not put it in someone elses- Do you mind sending it back, so I can get it to the right person.

I was afraid that would happen.

If you PM me, I can send it directly to the person missing it, if that helps. If not, I can mail it to you tomorrow. :)

I totally know. I had to get them for the kids' Easter baskets after I made the October. :rolleyes1 I didn't notice the color combination at the store, just as I was putting them into the baggies.

Can you tell I'm a bit excited? :rolleyes1 DS(7) has already had his nose in the baggies seeing what he can claim, and there's so much i might let him have something:rotfl2:

Beautiful work on the elements everyone, and an amazing array of embellishments - you would so laugh at our pathetic little options over here in Scrappers Desert!

Right, off to gloat.....errrrr....scrap :blush:
