Just checking in

[happypooh]

Just checking in..

[missesdisney]

Thanks for the check ins. I have to set up the list of who's checked in but work is crazy and I will probably update it this weekend so don't fret anyone!

Checking in myself - I have paper for I think all of my groups (ok I bought the paper a while ago but I have it so it counts right?). That's about it.

This weekend it's surprise swaps first then starting these.

[momx3boys]

checking in too. :)

[tiggermei]

Sorry. Think I checked in on wrong place. I'm checking in for now. I'll check in again for the second check-in but I'll be two days late. I'll be in the UK and won't have internet access for this trip. I'll check in on Saturday the 6th when I return.

Designed and paper bought. That's all so far.

[rlovew]

I have gotten started. I have some things designed.

That is when I turn to the internet for jpgs.....and get creative as i can....

[bigsis1970]

Ah found some neat things to work with PHEW I was sweating it!!! now just have to wait for them to arrive!!

[rlovew]

I have everything cut and ready for assembly. I hoping to get this finished up tonight so I can move on to the other things I have to do.

Rebecca

[rlovew]

I finished this swap lat night I just need to bag it up. I will probably wait to mail it until I have some other things going though.

Rebecca

[BernardandMissBianca]

Just checking in to see how things are going.

[missesdisney]

I have to update the check ins this weekend - sorry about that - I kind of forgot to do the last few!

I don't think I sent the PM with my contact info so I'm going to do that now but if it's twice -sorry!

Work was crazy a few weeks but settling down now...

I have a few of my groups cut and then started and ordered some embellishments the other day so I'll be working on it again.

[missesdisney]

Hi Ladies,

Just checking to let you know I've updated the check ins. Logical huh?

I haven't done any more myself but am trying to get to the scrap table to finish my last disney surprise group and then will totally focus on finishing these.

[tiggermei]

I'm back. I'll be working on this tomorrow, I hope. It'll go out on time.

[momx3boys]

I'm still here too. :)

[emilysmom09]

Checking in. I am almost finished and will have my stuff in the mail in the next few days.

[happypooh]

Checking in - Have been out of town for a work conference - worked on all the ideas..now getting the prototypes done...slowly but surely I'll get there!

[bigsis1970]

Hi Gang I am hoping the rest of my Manatee items arrive tomorrow - since no mail today (waiting for items from e-bay) Ride items in process.. :)

[123SA]

Checking in. I posted on the wrong thread. I'll finish this up early next week.

[rlovew]

I got my group mailed out today.

Rebecca

[missesdisney]

[missesdisney]

Rebecca

Got it - very cute! Thanks for the gift!

maria

[missesdisney]

Bumping to remind everyone this swap is due in just 8 days! Of course in my genius setting it up it didn't occur to me that the 21st was a SUNDAY! So let's say 9 days ok?

Please post when you expect to mail. Thanks everyone and looking forward to seeing everyone's work.

As for my own checkin, I am waiting on an order for some items that should arrive Monday to finish a few of my groups.

[momx3boys]

I've been working on these today. Hope to finish and mail by Tuesday. I will post when I do. :)

[BernardandMissBianca]

Maria, Susie is hurt so some of us are angeling.

Mickster said she could do Turtle Point and I can do Spiderman and Jimmy Neutron. I doubt mine will get there in 8 days though, but I can try.

Just got Susie's PM - guessing she sent it to all? Thank you both and just let me know when you think they can be done and we'll work with that. Can't be helped and I'm sure we are all thinking of Susie getting better!

Ok - can anyone else angel for the following spots? If all else fails I'll take them but I'm in these groups so I thought I'd give someone else a chance.

Islands Group - Cat in the Hat ride - make 4
Seaworld group - Pets Ahoy - make 4

Thanks for helping out ladies!

I might be able to do Cat in the Hat but let me get through the other 2 first. I'm flying blind here because I've never been to US/IOA or SW.

Just got an angel on the original thread for cat in the hat - AWM has signed up for that one! Thank you!

What's left is Pet's Ahoy - I PM'd cristina too since she had wanted more groups early on so I'll wait to see if she is interested. Worst case I'll do two in the same group!

I saw that after I had posted. If Christina wants any of the ones I angeled just let me know. I won't buy supplies til later this week.

[AlexWyattMommy]

I've printed out my CITH clipart, but if christina wants that spot, I can use the clipart for something else.

[missesdisney]

Finished my shrek group and my sand castles groups today. Just two more to do....and maybe one more to angel?

do you want Jimmy Neutron?

[missesdisney]

do you want Jimmy Neutron?

I can do it if you don't want to - didn't hear from Cristina yet though. Either way is fine with me. I have time to do it - let me know your preference.

[Mickster]

I have my Turtle Point design. I just need to make sure I have the paper I want and print, assemble and mail. It is my goal for this week. :)

[bigsis1970]

I can do the Pet's ahoy but let me know so I can get started - I was mailing mine out on Wed but if I do the Pet's ahoy then I won't mail till next Monday - i will have to work on them over the weekend.. Michelle

Thanks Michelle for that offer - I had PM'd Cristina as she requested after missing some of the signups and she's going to take that pets ahoy spot. I've also emailed her to see if she's interested in the two BAMB have just in case.

Thanks so much ladies for jumping in so fast to help!

Maria

[missesdisney]

Ok - Cristina is going to angel the following groups (Buffy - 2 are ones you had offered):

Universal anything goes - Jimmy Neutron
IOA anything goes - Spiderman
Seaworld shows - pets ahoy

I've told Cristina to go ahead and switch to a different theme within the group if she's like as long as there are no duplicates. Hope this is ok with all.

Thanks again everyone for the offers to angel - it is greatly appreciated.

Maria

[123SA]

I mailed mine today.

[Mickster]

Hey! I'm hoping to get these printed tonight and possibly in the mail tomorrow, but I don't have the address to send them to. Can anyone help? Thanks so much! :)

[123SA]

Mickster--I sent you a pm with the info.

[Mickster]

BAMB and 123SA: Thanks so much!

I got my Turtle Point group done and I will be postal tomorrow! :)

[AlexWyattMommy]

I just need to embellish and I should be postal tomorrow. I have school duty today, so I can't finish them until after lunch.

[missesdisney]

Susan (123sa) - got your package just now (called in sick for a dentist appt today and am working on swaps in a quiet house!). Love everything and thank you SOOOOO much for the lego tags - you obviously remembered I was bummed that I missed out on that group and that was so thoughtful of you!

Maria

[Mickster]

Mine went out today. :) Thanks!

Your welcome! I'm glad you like them.

[AlexWyattMommy]

Mine did go postal this afternoon.
I made a few extra elements. Figured nobody would mind if I used up the paper.

[momx3boys]

Well, I have a major kink in my plans. I have been sick in the bed since Sunday and as soon as I finish this note I'm going back to bed. I have some major kind of crud. All my groups are almost finished. I'm not going to flake I will just be a couple days late. I promise!!! Really hope to be postal Monday. I will check in when I can. So sorry I waited until the last minute!!

[happypooh]

I have a major problem too...someone died...will not be able to finish by friday to mail overnight for saturday - can I mail monday or tuesday assuming all works out on my mind?? When will you swap out? I'm all a blur right now. Sorry.

[tiggermei]

Hi. Mine were mailed Monday -- should arrive today or tomorrow. Unfortunately, I mailed originally without the $$ to return. I've mailed that to you (yesterday) in a separate envelope. I wanted you to be aware. I've been away from the internet at home and am "jumping on" at work. I hope you guys like it.

[missesdisney]

I have a major problem too...someone died...will not be able to finish by friday to mail overnight for saturday - can I mail monday or tuesday assuming all works out on my mind?? When will you swap out? I'm all a blur right now. Sorry.

I'm so sorry for your loss. That's fine if you mail early next week.

That's fine! I don't think flakers email to say they would be flaking :rotfl:

So we won't think of you as a flaker for sure! Take care of yourself!

[emilysmom09]

Finally got mine in the mail today :yay:

[missesdisney]

Mickster - got yours today! They are very cute! Thanks for the gift!

[Mickster]

Already? I just mailed it yesterday! I realize that it didn't have that far to go, but that is incredible! (Were they ok?)

[missesdisney]

I know - fast fast mail cause it didn't need to be. Only when you need it fast is it a problem :)

They were adorable! Thanks!

Maria

[missesdisney]

Mail Call!

AWM
Tiggermei
Emilysmom

Thankfully, the mailwoman put a big ol plastic bag around them cause it POURED today - anyone else mailing please be sure all is double bagged as my porch isn't covered.

Everything looks so great!

AWM - thanks so much for the lego pieces - that is awesome! I had pics sitting around and now I have a little kit from you and 123sa!!!

Those who haven't mailed (angels are a slight delay I know) please update as to when you plan to mail. Thanks!

[happypooh]

I'm halfway done...is it ok for ET if I don't do a 8x2 topper and do a paper piecing title instead?? I think it would look better...also for Clyde and Seamore I was going to glue together the paper piecing for that...two seals and a pirate ship..but do people want the die cuts separate so they can put the pieces together the way they want on the page??

I'm fine with a paper piecing instead of a topper.

Ladies in this group - what do you think on the die cuts? I'm game either way.

Hi again,

I was re-reading posts and want to make sure you don't spend extra postage for overnight - priority is fine when you get them out this week. Due to the angeling spots I have one delay so I probably won't complete the swapping till later this week. No worries!

maria

[missesdisney]

All my groups are done!

[momx3boys]

Okay, I'm finally getting over the flu. I have one group left to finish. My two youngest stayed home today, will we ever all get well. :sad1:
I'm going to work on these when I get off here and they should go postal tomorrow!! :woohoo: I'm sorry to be late, this is the first swap I've ever been late on and it is driving me nuts!!

[bigsis1970]

Ok Gang put this in the mail box today and wasn't exactly happy with the Manatee group so I am making a public apology - you are each getting a 12x12 manatee paper w/ a baggie of goodies to make a tag including a Manatee paper piercing and embelly's to make a tag - buttons, ribbon, chipboard and tag (or not) I butchered my 12x12 paper so their is only 5 w/ paper and even with the extra week I took I couldn't get anything that was working or that I was remotely happy with so I figured rather then flake or send you sub par items I would let you each do with what you wanted with the items - i never thought this would give me trouble so again I am Sorry... I did complete my other group - seaworld general - rides and did like how they came out, sorry girls.. Michelle

[AlexWyattMommy]

so I figured rather then flake or send you sub par items

Wow, that is honest of you.
I'm not in that group, but I do appreciate that you appreciate the hard work that everyone tries to do for these swaps.
And I know everyone else appreciates that you didn't flake.
I totally understand the stress of trying to make something when you just aren't feeling like it is coming together the right way.

[bigsis1970]

Thanks not exactly how I wanted to come back into swaping though. I guess it ended up as a do it yourself kit..
I tried to make a photo mat or jounal box out of the paper but they way the manatees were on it, it was HUGE so then I tried to cut around them and it looked silly so then I used my circle punch and punched out their heads and mounted like Deco squares but that look awful then when I got the paper peirced Manatee's from ebay again they were rather larger then what i thought and couldn't get them to fit on right so I gave in after pounding my head repeatedly on my scrap table ... UGH.. again ladies in my group sorry..

Hey - it happens to many of us where we have an idea that just doesn't end up right - I appreciate you putting the effort into what you sent us. Thanks for swapping!

[123SA]

I am the manatee group. I am happy to receive a page kit. DS4 has been in love with manatees since our first trip to Seaworld last year. He will be very happy to "help" me make this page. I have great photos from our recent trip, so while it is not what you had in mind, it will work out wonderfully for us!

[momx3boys]

Mine were mailed today. :) Sorry again everyone, that they were late.

Maria, I didn't send enough postage so, I will be mailing you a few more dollars tomorrow.

[missesdisney]

No problem - I'll look out for it.

[happypooh]

I have nearly finished - I am so sorry that I'm not done yet..I have just got part of camp jurassic to go...can I mail it tomorrow? I can do overnight if that will help...again so sorry for being late on this swap...I'm feeling a little better since last week.

[happypooh]

I am done! Will mail tomorrow...

[happypooh]

Ok just to explain a little about my pieces...my ET did not turn out as I quite expected as my printer went nuts and wouldn't print blue so ET is now flying in a magenta pink sky....sorry everyone...also the picture with ET with a boy behind him on the bike...well IThought I'd leave it up to the swappers to whether you'd like to cut the boy's head off and insert your child's head (I mean a photo of course!) in it. I also changed the dimensions on my topper for Pearls as the borders were 11x2 and seemed huge already to have a large topper looked kinda silly. (If people want it bigger just PM me and I'll try to make some bigger - it just didn't look right.) Are we posting photos or just waiting til after??

[AlexWyattMommy]

Ugh, that's what I forgot to do. Take photos before mailing.
So I can't show you mine. But they are pretty cute. It was the perfect red & blue of Thing 1 and Thing 2.

[missesdisney]

I'm going to take photos when they all get in and post. I think most all are on their way so by this weekend I should have the photos up and swap it out if I get them before that. Off the top of my head I don't know if any more are awaiting mailing, but I am going away next thurs - sun so if I don't have it all this weekend, it's going to be tough to swap before I go (but I will surely try!) I don't have any complete groups yet to swap but those in transit will complete some.

If anyone wants to post pics early go right ahead!

[missesdisney]

Hi all - Christina PMd me that she will be mailing Saturday all of the angel spots she did. So, what I'll do is I'll swap out what I have this weekend and hold out for her spots so when I get them I can drop them in fast and get them mailed. As long as I get them by Tuesday next week, I can finish it all up and mail them out Wednesday before I leave. Worst case they will go out the following Monday but I'm hoping to avoid that.

I'll start taking pictures to post this weekend as I get the rest in!

[missesdisney]

Got two more today!

Momx3boys and BigSis1970

BTW - the manatee 'kit' is so cute!

I took pics of all the ones I have and will try to post some tomorrow (if I can squeeze in time at work :))

Happypooh's is on its way and Christina is mailing Saturday so I expect to mail out on Wednesday assuming it all gets here when I think.

[missesdisney]

Bumping for the pictures posted in the first page!

I managed to set up slideshows for what I have. They look really great!

[Mickster]

Wow! Everything so far is beautiful! I'm so glad I got to angel in this swap! Can't wait to get it back! Thanks for hosting. :yay:

[missesdisney]

Happypooh - got your today - I love how you did everything particularly your borders!

[missesdisney]

FYI - Christina mailed hers this morning so I should hopefully have them by tuesday. All the rest are swapped and waiting to plop hers in. I just have to get the boxes/envelopes ready to go tomorrow.

Thank you everyone for swapping and for the goodies!

Maria

[missesdisney]

Woo hoo - way to go postal service! I got Christina's package today and they are all packaged up and almost ready to go - have to find a few addresses so if you aren't sure please PM me yours again so it gets out on time!

Thanks again everyone for making this a great swap!

Maria

[missesdisney]

These all went out today! I forgot to take pics of Christina's though - sorry about that - I realized it walking out of the post office.

I must say that I looked a little silly walking through the streets of Philly with a huge tote of boxes and envelopes - people must have thought I was nuts!

[AlexWyattMommy]

OR really early for Christmas and were very envious that you get to the spend the rest of the holidays enjoying them, not stressing about shopping.

[Mickster]

Mine arrived home! Talk about almost instant gratification! Since I angelled there wasn't much time in between making them and getting them back! Thanks for hosting! :)

[missesdisney]

WOW that was fast! Thanks for angeling!

[Mickster]

They didn't have very far to go! :)

[123SA]

Mine arrived yesterday. Thanks so much to missesdisney for hosting and the talented group of participants!

Happypooh -- WOW!! I love the Clyde & Seamore and pearls sets.


To the seaworld exhibits group -- what did you think of of my shaker for Shark Encounter? It's my first shaker -- anything that needs improvement?
Thanks!

[AlexWyattMommy]

Mine arrived today.
Glad I got to angel and get this cool stuff!

[rlovew]

Mine arrived today and everything looks great.

123SA- The shaker box has held together well with your using the sealed bag for the beads. I think you did a great job.

Rebecca

[missesdisney]

LOVED the shaker box! Didn't realize it was your first!

[123SA]

Thanks! The bags are good for sealing the stuff in but it really limits the size.

[happypooh]

Got mine today too! Loved so many things! I loved the shaker box too..those are sooo hard to make so I appreciated it even more! So glad you liked the pearl set...it was real hard to figure out as I made the borders and everything before I saw the pearl embellishment...and then I just had to buy it but then I was concerned as it really didn't match the color of the paper - hope everyone is able to use it somehow! And with Clyde and Seamore I had to figure it out from photos as I've never seen the show! I do hope they keep that pirate boat in it till I get to see it (no idea when we will get to go!) There seems to be quite alot that I think I'll be able to use in other pages too which is nice...I'll be definitely using the sand castles set for our last trip to Boston/Cape where we made sandcastles and my DS got buried up to his shoulders.....thanks for hosting and for being so fast to get it back to us!
