Just so you all know when I do my artichoke I'm going to be creative and use two colors, to spice it up :)

[ddavis860]

:yay: Me Too!!

Can I have

X-Ray (black and white)

Purple

White

Thanks Kat!!

:banana:

[KatDisney]

All updated :)

[AlexWyattMommy]

AUGH!! I have been computerless until now. Modem problems at the ILs.

I would love to do wisteria, artichoke, night, and daffodil, in any groups that the colors would work.

[Mickster]

Sheesh. I spend a little time shoveling sn**, and I miss this! Ok - I think I'd like to do Daisy (yellow/white) and shades of pink. Any groups. If the colors don't all work out, I can change the colors. And here I was thinking that I was all caught up! :rotfl:

[Faerie]

I'd like a Pink and a blue please :)

[Daisydu]

I would liketo be in two groups, one for white and one for orange, and place me in whichever groups you like. :)

[KatDisney]

I will get this updated in a little bit, Right in the middle of haning pictures in my son's room :)

[rlovew]

If there is any room left I would do a cream.

Rebecca

[KatDisney]

All updated thus far..

[Mickster]

Thanks, Kathy! I can't wait to get this one started! :)

When is your son coming and your vacation? Soon, right? Have a great time! :) How do the pictures look in his room??:cutie:

[KatDisney]

He arrives on Tuesday, He will be here for 2 weeks! And we leave for Disneyland on Sunday. The pictures look awesome! I took an old dragon calendar of his and framed them. They look like actual photos. Then I unpacked all his minature bottles from his collection. Looks really good in there now and will have more of a feel of his own room :) I can't wait to see him. I just wish my daughter wanted to come as well. But she says its to far from home.

[MazdaUK]

I'll go for blue in group 4 please - just ordinary mid-range blue, or possibly shades of. If you open a group 6 I'll do a green for that.

[rlovew]

If you open a group 6 I would do forest green. If not I won't worry about it.

Rebecca

[4ltlTinks]

I'll do Yellow in group 5.

If you open a group 6, I'll do pink in that.

[KatDisney]

All updated :)

[MazdaUK]

If rlovew is doing forest green can you put me for red for group 6 please.

Thanks :)

[4ltlTinks]

Question...Do we embellish the items and send more embellishements...or do we leave the items plain and send the embellishments to use on them???

I need to gather all my materials this week so I can work on them at PRACS next weekend.

[New England Eeyore]

Hey no fair! You open a swap on the one day in like, forever that I don't DIS! And this sounds like a fun one.

Can I have purple in the last group please?

[KatDisney]

Question...Do we embellish the items and send more embellishments...or do we leave the items plain and send the embellishments to use on them???

I need to gather all my materials this week so I can work on them at PRACS next weekend.

That was something I was thinking about earlier today as I was cleaning house..lol.. Then I went to previous swaps and I have seen them both ways. I think for me personally I like the ones from this swap, simple, elegant and not over the top..And they can be used for pretty much anything. So I would say they need some embellishment but nothing major.

http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=12232829&postcount=1

But then again I also figured I'd leave that up to each person to decide for themselves.

What do you all think?

[KatDisney]

Hey no fair! You open a swap on the one day in like, forever that I don't DIS! And this sounds like a fun one.

heheh glad you could join us :) I've got you added.

Do I need to open any more Groups? We have one more spot in Group 6

[AlexWyattMommy]

Those were very nice indeed.
There is no need to use brads or eyelets just to added them. If they make your element look finished, than by all means use them. But if you are just trying to make the embellishments work, don't. That's my vote. :thumbsup2

[New England Eeyore]

I won't be online tomorrow either - if there is more interest and you end up opening another group I would certainly take another spot. No worries if not though.

Enjoy your son's visit and your trip to Disneyland!

[MazdaUK]

I think fairly plain and elegant looks best - after all, people can always add more stuff if they feel the page needs it. Goody goody, time to go shopping for trimmings again....er...... ummm... I'll get on with planning! :guilty:

[AlexWyattMommy]

I'd like to change daffodil to Wood (think shades of brown) please. I'll make the metal embellishment difficult to find, but I have this awesome parchment type paper that I'd like to use with textured brown. Thanks.

[4ltlTinks]

Sounds perfect to me...thanks for the input!

[jennyL]

Ok I havne't gone all the way through the list but if there is still an opening I'd like in. I'll pick a color once I know if and where I would fit.

[KatDisney]

I totally Agree :)

I added one more group

All updated

[jennyL]

Great I'm glad I could get in. I'd love to do a brown for my color.

[AlexWyattMommy]

I love brown. Will you put me her group with pinks please?

[Mickster]

I wasn't going to join any more. But, I am all caught up and it is a long time from now... so if I could (and if I don't knock anyone else out...) could I have the beach in group 7. (Think blues/tans) Thanks!

[KatDisney]

I love brown. Will you put me her group with pinks please?

Are you wanting to add a group or replace a group? I will update this more when I get home from work, lunch is over :(

[Michellepooh]

OK, I can't resist. Could I please be added to group 7 for red? Thanks!

[AlexWyattMommy]

If you need to make space for others, than just take me out of another. If it is okay, I'd like it added to my others.

[KatDisney]

All updated ;) I have 1 spot left in group 6 and then I'm going to close the swap :)

Remember the DUE DATE is JUNE 15th.

[New England Eeyore]

Yay! Thanks for opening up that other group. Could I please do blue for that group?

[MazdaUK]

Could you post the dimensions for the elements please? I need to work out my paper!

Thanks

[KatDisney]

I have posted the dimensions on the first page, Also still one spot in group 6 otherwise Im just going to close and group 6 will just have 5.

[Stitch#1]

If you haven't heard from anyone else I'll take the last spot in Group 6.

ETA - I forgot to mention a color, I'll do orange, like pumpkin color if that's ok

[KatDisney]

Welcome Stitch

[Faerie]

I'm done :D I was bored yesterday and got mine done... I need to get quart ziplocs though. Kat, do you want me to hold off on mailing for a while?

[Stitch#1]

Oh sure, I only bought my ribbon today and someone is done already!! LOL!!:rotfl2:
I plan on buying my papers by this weekend and to get my butt in gear!

[Faerie]

Because I can't read directions before I go to the store, there are two ribbons in each - one that is a yard, as it's supposed to be, and then a smaller "bonus" ribbon that goes with something else :D

[MazdaUK]

Goodie gum drops! :goodvibes

I ordered some paper and ribbon yesterday, but I ended up with so many different scrap stores open on my browser I forgot to get the brads :lmao: I kept changeing my mind - was it better to get packs of 10 eyelets in one colour or a bigger pack of mixed brads or eyelets etc etc :confused3

I think I'll wait til I get the paper and ribbon. Then I started wondering about how to do journalling boxes, as red can be quite dark if you don't have metallic pens (and can still be hard to read) - would a vellum overlay work, do you think? If I try to go too light a shade of red it will be too pink :confused:

[rlovew]

I think a velum overlay or a lighter color in the center of the journaling box would work.

rebecca

[AlexWyattMommy]

How about a vellum overlay that is attched with photo corners. This way it can be removed, put over lined paper for writing on and put back. AND if someone doesn't want to use at as a box, they can put a small photo on it.

Hey, that's a pretty good idea. Guess what one of my groups is going to have.bb:rotfl:

[MazdaUK]

That's right! Add to my shopping list!

Actually, I did see some on one of the sites yesterday.....I wonder which one? Shaped brads are still pretty exotic for the UK you know! :rotfl:

[KatDisney]

I'm done :D I was bored yesterday and got mine done... I need to get quart ziplocs though. Kat, do you want me to hold off on mailing for a while?

You can mail now or later :) Now that I'm back from Disney I will be working on all mine.

[MazdaUK]

I found a light red! I'd call it not-quite-tinned-tomato-soup-red :lmao: Looks better than it sounds! I'm a bit worried my photo mat colours are too similar, now I've cut and stuck them, so I'll have to use the embellishments for extra pizazz - I've got fantastic stripy ribbon, and as I ordered extra there's enough for the tags and might be some over to do something clever for the photo mats. All my brads are on the way, and some of them are sort of fancy, or I might add some texture somehow - maybe a flower in the corner or something (nothing overdone). Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm:confused3

[AlexWyattMommy]

Okay, I need to have clarification.

When we say colors, we don't just mean solids right?
I can use patterned paper as long the main/major colors are from the color I picked?

[KatDisney]

Yes thats fine, I was planning on doing that for a couple of mine as well. Im going shipping today for paper! woot!!

[MazdaUK]

I tried to match up some patterned paper - that was my first idea - but they were all the wrong shades. :headache: How can I have SOOOOOO much paper and not find a match?:rotfl2: Anyway, I had an inspiration at 10.00 last night after cutting all the ribbons so I'm much happier now :goodvibes I'm going shopping today and suggested to DH that he might like to walk the boys over to the playground while I look in scrap shops :rolleyes1 so if I find something just right the red photo mats might be triple matted.

[Faerie]

I've gone postal :D

[KatDisney]

I've gone postal :D

:eek: I haven't even gotten all my paper yet! lol

[AlexWyattMommy]

I'd like to switch up my colors please. I bought the glitter stack and there is the coolest black & white paper in it.

So I'd like to make group 4 - X-ray (black & white)
and group 1 - Night

Thanks.

OK all updated :)

[Mickster]

I have 2 of my groups assembled. Are we supposed to do any type of embellishing on the pieces? I know there was a discussion, but I'm not sure I got it. I used 3 colors of paper, so do I need to have buttons or brads or flowers or something? :confused3

[KatDisney]

Its really up to you. I'm using a small amount of embellishments just so its not to plain looking.

I did receive Faerie package. They are wonderful.

Check out the link, I really like how that color swap was done.

[MazdaUK]

I'm done, got one group packed and the other ready when I get some more bags. Can you pm the mailing details please? :goodvibes

[Faerie]

Its really up to you. I'm using a small amount of embellishments just so its not to plain looking.

I did receive Faerie package. They are wonderful.

Thanks for letting me know they arrived :)

[4ltlTinks]

I just finished mine for groups 5 and 6...I'll be mailing them on Monday.

[MazdaUK]

I'll be mailing Friday, as long as I can find a suitable envelope :)

ETA as soon as I've finished my cup of tea I'm off to the PO

[Mickeyteacher]

Can I make my group 1 black and red?
Thanks,
Shawna

[AlexWyattMommy]

Sounds okay to me.

All black with no punch sounds kinda yucky. Now, black with some purple or some pink or some teal or some white, that would be much better...to me.

[Mickeyteacher]

I can do something other then white- How about red? I have lots of red here at home because I'm doing red in another group.
Thanks for the idea AWM

S :)

[AlexWyattMommy]

Now that sounds awesome.
It can be SnowWhites' Evil Queen, Queen of Hearts, Jafar, even Hook or use it for Valentine's day (special dinner) or a fancy dinner anytime.

[Mickster]

Thanks! I thought it was quite pretty. :)

[SusieStone]

If you need an angel, I can help.

I was just wondering when this lot would get to me and now I've rechecked and the due date is 15 June:scared1:

I had all sorts of pages planned out....oh well, now I'll have to do :laundy:

[Daisydu]

Finished with my colors. I should be mailing all next week. I can't wait to use all the different colors. :cloud9:

[Mickster]

Mine went postal today. :) The DC # is 03070020000260061814. Thanks for hosting Kat!

[KatDisney]

I will be on the lookout :)

[SusieStone]

I am checking in for my adopted chocolate spot.

[Stitch#1]

I'm just popping in.
Haven't posted in a little bit since work has been nuts and I've been coming home and practically falling asleep on the couch.
Luckily I'm heading to the world Saturday for some R&R so I can finish this swap and get it mailed out.

[KatDisney]

All updated :)

[KatDisney]

Mickster - Yours arrived :) Very classy :)

[Mickster]

Thanks. I liked them. ;)

[SusieStone]

I won't be able to get started on these until Mother's Day weekend. I think this weekend will be used to finish up Character Meal and MK swaps.

[Daisydu]

Mine went postal today. Enjoyed working with the colors. Thanks for hosting. :yay:

[SusieStone]

I am having my own NCD crop of 1 at my house today to get thesespots started. :thumbsup2

[AlexWyattMommy]

I am having my own NCD crop of 1 at my house today to get thesespots started. :thumbsup2

Oh you are funny. I thought on the other thread you were brave enough to invite people over to crop.
I barely have enough horizontal space for just myself. I couldn't have a crop here.

[MazdaUK]

I clear off my dining table for mine - lucky I only have 3 customers :rotfl:

[SusieStone]

My LSS is having their crop next weekend - don't know why - I think because graduation is this weekend ...... I decided to crop by myself. I have prizes and everything!!!!!! :rotfl2:

I have gotten more done today then going to a crop. No one here to talk to me about non related stuff. Ecept the every so often Spongebob updates.

I don't have time to gab at a crop - I have swaps to do!:rotfl:

[rlovew]

I found the ribbon so I know have all my supplies. I started cutting things for one of the groups but I haven't done much on these yet.

Rebecca

[SusieStone]

Please change my last group - I think it is 7 to black and white. The monochromatic pack says true gray but the colors are avalanche, hurricane, nor'easter and midnight.

[KatDisney]

All updated

[KatDisney]

Daisydu Got yours!

[Daisydu]

Great! Can't wait to start scrapbooking with all of it. popcorn::

[SusieStone]

I keep buying ribbon that does not match. This is hard to match it to a color and not a theme. Don't want it too girlie or too boyish or too cheapish.

[MazdaUK]

Can you use it up for the paper bags? We have trouble finding it at all here so if I can find enough I just buy it!

[Stitch#1]

Just popping in to say I'm back from my little R&R trip to WDW.
I'll be working on finishing touches on the swap to get them out in the mail soon!

[KatDisney]

Ladies

I just wanted to let you know that While I am away on my work trip next week DH will be checking the mail. I told him packages may or may not arrive while I am gone but to put them in a safe spot ( I will give him an empty box) and I will update if I can while I'm gone (I'm not taking the laptop this trip) If I can from work I will.

[AlexWyattMommy]

I will have no little one this week. I am planning on getting all my swaps done. I have all the paper & embellishings, just need the time.

[SusieStone]

Of my 3 angel spots, I have to make tags for all of them and tags are my least favorite. Hence putting it off to the end. I have to cut my ribbon for all groups and then finish the journal boxes for a group. One of the groups I think I will ink around the edges to make it different and then I am do. Gee, seemed like I was closer to being finished than that when I started posting.

[SusieStone]

I went to bed waaay to early and have now been up for over a hour. I did get the tags cut for my 3 groups ..... so progress is being made. Hope I can go back to sleep.

[jennyL]

Ok I have my stuff but haven't had a chacne to start yet. I hope to finish up another swap this week and then it will be on to this one.

[Mickeyteacher]

Mine are done- I will mail them this weekend.
S :)

[SusieStone]

I need to count out eyelets/brads and ribbon for each spot.

I have to finish the squares for my chocolate group and finish up the tags for the purple.

Bag it up and I will be done.

Maybe it will be postal on Friday.

[SusieStone]

I'm tired of this one!. Have y'all ever felt that way? I have just a few more tags to go and put labels on bags and it can go out.

Then it will be on to finish the MK newbie swap.

[AlexWyattMommy]

This is my next one to work on. But not till tomorrow. ;)

[SusieStone]

Well, I need to ink the chocolate deco squares. So I will have to finish that up today so this hsould end up go postal on Friday but will post when I do.

[AlexWyattMommy]

Ugh. I am having the hardest time working on these. Night is finally done. I'll be bagging that up tonight.
My artichoke isn't going to be straight green with purple. It looked so ugly. So I found a really pretty french flair print that is purple & green that I will use with a green solid. Hope you don't mind the change.

[SusieStone]

Mixing the colors is good with me. I had a hard time with mine myself. My spots are not finished as I have been sick since Thursday. Hopefully, I can get back on my swaps Monday and get back on track.

[AlexWyattMommy]

Sorry to hear you were sick. Glad you are feeling better!

Here I thought this would be easy, but I am finding it harder. I've come to realize I really don't like making squares at all.

[SusieStone]

Squares, Squares, and more squares. I will admit that I took creative liberty on one spot and they are quite square.

[SusieStone]

Mine were mailed today.

Delivery confirmation number 0306 0320 0000 9341 6537

[SusieStone]

My package number isn't showing up on USPS website - odd. I have stamped receipt though if it doesn't get there.

[AlexWyattMommy]

Finally, these are done. I'm just waiting for something I purchased for the Disney Surprise to arrive and then I will go postal with both swaps.

[KatDisney]

SusieStone
MickeyTeacher

[SusieStone]

Hooray. Glad it got there.

[rlovew]

I will be mailing these with my surprise swap sometime this week.

Rebecca

[AlexWyattMommy]

These are in the same box with the Disney Suprise Swap and are officially postal.

[MazdaUK]

Except for the ones you're waiting for, I presume?

[AlexWyattMommy]

Nope, those actually arrived yesterday in the normal mail. I had gone to the post office earlier and they said no package, but DH brought in when he got home. Good thing too, 'cause I certainly didn't know what else to do with all the extra stickers.

So there are store bought items and made items in my surprises. Hope you all like them. They do relate to each other.

[MazdaUK]

I'm getting so excited :goodvibes I love getting mail!

[jennyL]

Still working on mine. I decided I didn't like the fiber I got so I went out to fine something else. LOL I hope to finish this weekend so they will be in the mail early next week.

[Michellepooh]

I'm done with 3 of my 4 groups. I'm going to try to finish these and my surprise swap stuff either tonight or tomorrow. Hopefully I will mail by Saturday.

and yes I can mail the color swap and the surprise swap back together for you ;)

[SusieStone]

It's fine to mail both back to me at the same time also.

[AlexWyattMommy]

I am so glad you like them. They all gave me fits, but in the end I think they all turned out pretty good.

[MazdaUK]

I'm also fine with both swaps coming to me together - whatever is easier/cheaper postage :)

[Faerie]

Oh yeah, didn't think of that, mail mine all together too :D

[KatDisney]

Ok ladies, just remember if you want them mailed together it will take longer to get them back because the Surprise swap ends on the 8th and this one ends on the 15th. :rotfl2: So I don't wanna hear any " I bet she is selling them on eBay" :rotfl2: Just kidding I know you wouldn't. I thought it was funny.

[AlexWyattMommy]

Did I tell you the story about the crop group that meets at the same I place I do but on a different night? We make 12x12 pages, 1 copy for each person and then swap them all. Anyway, that other group found out a person in their group was selling the pages on ebay. Whewwee, were they hot under the collar. Me, I wouldn't care. Once it's yours, it's yours to do what you want. But they were mad for a really long time.

[MazdaUK]

I can see its a bit sensitive - if you choose to sell stuff the same as you make for a swap that's down to you- and swap recipients get good value ;) But taking stuff someone has laboured over in the spirit of community and making a PROFIT :eek: I can see that would leave a sore taste in some places. If anyone gets good prices for anything I've made please tell me so i can make some more and sell it:rotfl:

DH has already been eyeing up my recipe swap binder and saying "I bet we'd get good money for that....." so I've hidden it:rotfl2: Its MY precioussssssss;)

[KatDisney]

rlovew - Got yours today, they are so beautiful!
Michellepooh - got yours as well. I can't wait to use these they are beautiful!

I have updated the first post with those who want to have this swap mailed with their Disney Surprise. please let me know if I'm missing anyone.

[AlexWyattMommy]

You can mail mine with the surprise too.

[KatDisney]

Ok all updated ;)

[Stitch#1]

Just popping in real quick, sorry I haven't been around much but it has been busy in my house.
I will have my swap in the mail this weekend!

[Mickeyteacher]

How are we doing? Are we getting close?
S :)

[KatDisney]

Just waiting for 1 more ;)

I am fighting another migraine I have a doc appt on Wednesday to try to figure out what's happening with me. I've been having 2-3 migraines a week now for the past 4 months. I think its time to check it out. Anyways enough about me

I Think I will start sorting this swap this evening and get the groups ready to mail that are completed and mailable. Hopemax is coming over Saturday to help me sort the Disney surprise and finish this one if I don't get it all the way done. We haven't reached the due date yet so we are looking fantastic with having all but one already here ;)

I also want to give a shout out to all of you who sent me little goodies it is so appreciated!!

From what I have seen so far AMAZING work by each and every one of you. I will also start with the photos so I can upload them all.


**keeps fingers crossed** I can't figure out what I did with all my squares.

[Stitch#1]

Sorry I didn't get to post this sooner.
I am postal and you should have it by Friday.
my dc# is 04037689127014038708

[AlexWyattMommy]

:hug: I'm glad you are not waiting to see what the migrains are all about.
If you can, request an MRI WITH the dye. There might be something going on with your blood vessels that won't be seen without the dye to help locate any problems. 'Course I will hope it is just a vitamin deficiency.

Glad that Hopemax is close enough to help you out if you need it. I'm pretty sure PN96 would travel to help me, but it would be a long drive.

Hollar if you need anything from us!!

[MazdaUK]

:wizard: the doctor can sort out your poor head:headache:

[Stitch#1]

:sick: Sorry to hear about the migrains.
I really hope they can figure it out for you. Knock on wood I have not experianced them but my sister has so I've witnessed what they can do to someone.
P&P:wizard:

[ddavis860]

Mine should be there by 3pm tomorrow.

[KatDisney]

Stitch#1 - Got yours today.

I went to the doc yesterday and she gave me a shot to see if it would help the migraine. It made me go to sleep I slept from the time I got home at 5pm until 5am this morning. Woke up. BAM! the headache was back.

So here I sit with my head feeling like someone has taken a sledge hammer to it. I can't take any other medications because she wants my system to be totally cleared of everything.

I can't drink anything other than Diet Caffeine free soda:drinking1, no salt popcorn:: and no chocolate:scared: zomg !:confused3 what am I going to do!:headache:

I have to fast tomorrow and go back in for blood work, also have to schedule a CT Scan.

The last couple of days at work I've been just ready to quit, 2 of the ladies are driving me insane. DH said i could just pack my desk and call it done. I don't know what to do..

Anyways enough about me. I will get this swapped out on Saturday with the help of the lovely and gracious Hopemax. I will mail most likely on Sunday so they will go out first thing Monday morning.

[Faerie]

Feel better Kat!

[ddavis860]

Wow Kat!! I would have a migraine just from the lack of caffine! Hang in there. Hope that your tests come out good!! :wizard:

[aprilvaca04]

:flower3: Hope you are feeling better soon...take care of yourself, that's the most important thing:thumbsup2

[Stitch#1]

Well I'm glad you received my package.

Boy I hope the doctors can figure out what's going on. I can't imagine having to go to work in that condition. I for sure would have knocked someones head off.
:wizard: hoping you feel better soon

[AlexWyattMommy]

:pixiedust: for getting through next trials!!

[hopemax]

Sorry to hear about your migranes, hopefully the doctors can figure it out. So far it sounds like the cure might be worse than the disease. Hopefully, you won't suffer from any withdrawl symptoms. It's probably a good idea to get your system cleared out but I know when my Mom stops drinking pop, that's when she gets bad headaches from the withdrawl. If worse, comes to worse, you can lie down and I'll sort, while telling you all about my adventures in a quiet voice.

[KatDisney]

EVERYTHING is now here! Great job ladies, Hopemax and I sure have our work cut out for us tomorrow :) Although tonight I am busting a grove to make new squares as I put all mine in a safe place. Yup, can't find them anywhere :( and I hate making squares..lol.. I will take a picture of all the packages in my den..lol..

Thank you all for your well wishes :) My headache is down to a dull roar, if I don't move to much it isn't as bad but to much movement and it starts pounding. I've done well with the no caffeine. It's a start. Most of all I am proud of myself for not taking any meds :)

ddavis - thank you so much for the lovely stickers and note pad I will be using them both!

[hopemax]

Hopemax and I sure have our work cut out for us tomorrow

Note to Self: Please remember to bring your brain with you this time.

I had to wrap my Surprise swap stuff in saran wrap, which is already making me nervous. It's fine, except when it comes to sorting, and you get to the last sets and you find yourself saying, "I know there was enough for everyone when we started," and KatDisney is both laughing and *sighing* as we dig through the other piles to find the ones that were stuck together.

lol but we have so much fun! :upsidedow

You're welcome Kat! Thanks for hosting! Glad everything got there in one piece and on time :teeth:

Hope things stay a dull roar or all gone is even better!

[MazdaUK]

Hopefully as your system clears out your head will clear - but its not pleasant! My friend always avoids caffeine, but over Christmas stayed with a relative whi kept saying "of course its caffeien free" but was too tight to buy an extra jar of coffee so was giving her ordinary:scared1:

OK she had loads more energy :rolleyes1 but when she got home :headache: :headache: :headache:

OMG that must have been terrible. How thoughtless of that person too.

[ddavis860]

OMG that must have been terrible. How thoughtless of that person too.

:offtopic: I agree, not only thoughtless, but could have been dangerous too. My girlfriend can't have ANY caffine. It causes her heart to go crazy and she ends up in the hospital.

Hope you are feeling good today Kat! :wizard:

[123SA]

I'd love to see this swap. Is there a photo link?

[KatDisney]

I'd love to see this swap. Is there a photo link?

Not yet but there will be this evening. I am awaiting hopemax to arrive and we will "dig in" there are ALOT of packages to go through..lol.. but it's so much fun.

but I have started taking pictures

[hopemax]

If anyone keeps coming anxiously to the thread hoping for pictures, it may be a couple days. We did get everything sorted and ready for mailing, minus a few boxes. But we did sacrifice picture taking to get the sorting all done. Our 110 degree heat made it uncomfortable for me at times to keep my head, you can imagine if you are fighting a migrane at the same time. So I told Kat to TAKE A NAP.

Everything is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS, though. I was very jealous since I wasn't even in the color swap. You will all be very excited you participated.

[KatDisney]

Announcer: We interest your regularly scheduled program to bring you this important news bulletin .. Live from the bedroom of Katdisney..


"hello ladies, first and foremost I want to send a huge THANK YOU to Hope for coming over today and helping me sort the 2 swaps. It was a GREAT task. The first swap took about 2 hours to sort and shuffle through, the colors swap took about an hour. She did most of it letting me sit there and not moving to much.

Second, another Super huge THANK YOU for all the goodies that you all sent to me, I felt like it was birthday. Everything was fabulous and I will use it all!

Thirdly, like Hope said It may take me a couple days to get the photo's done. I laid down after she left and am still in bed my migraine is back in full force and being that I can't take any medicine the only soothing thing right now is darkness. My husband said he'd help me get the pictures done tomorrow so I can upload them.

Last thing, you all did an amazing job with all of your elements. I am so excited to use it all. I hope to do this swap again as it is so much fun! I am equally impressed that everyone who signed up turned everything in and on time, I thank you for that.

I am going to post this same message over on the Surprise swap. I will mail either tomorrow or Monday at the latest.

thank you all again!

Kat

[KatDisney]

I'm finishing the packing tonight and will go postal tomorrow. :) thank you all for your patience I am still taking pictures ;)

[SusieStone]

I am looking forward to pictures.

Thanks for your hard work.

[KatDisney]

I will post DC's tomorrow evening. I also am uploading the pictures now for the surprise. I will upload for this swap tomorrow evening.

[Faerie]

Thanks for all your hard work Kat (and your help Hope!)
