[Mickster]

Thanks for posting the pictures! Everything looks great! I can't wait to get it back! :)

[PrincessNancy96]

Gorgeous work everyone... :)

I plan on duplicating some of these!!!

[hopemax]

I'm excited to get this one back. Great stuff, ladies.

I laughed when I was looking at AWM Dinosaur frames. Why? Because I had just cut out the same shape for some Goofy frames for the Mega Swap.

I was going to mention before, but kept forgetting. I did 2 "new for me" things on the Mahajarah Jungle Trek pieces: paper tearing and inking. I was happy with how they came out.

[Kim1964]

Wow, this stuff is great! I haven't gotten to our AK pages yet, but when I do, I am DEFINITELY scraplifting some of these ideas.

[party of 3]

ooohhhh i love them all! nice work everyone. i cant wait to see it all in person.
thanks for hosting SIOH.

[Princess Jayne]

they're all lovely! cant wait for them to get here and to find a place in my scrapbook! lol! I've not started our AK pages yet! x

[AlexWyattMommy]

They look more Haunted Mansion than Dinosaur to me, but I had not used my Expressions yet and my DH threatened to take it back if I didn't use it. So I made the frames from the Accent cart. All those little pieces are triple matted can be used on top of the frame/mats or as accent pieces.

[SusieStone]

Affection Sectin should have a journal box and tag with it. Please check the groups. I found the ones that go with the posted set in the sofa.

Send that set back to me if you can.....if not I can mail them to who gets them.

Thanks

Everything looks great.

[AlexWyattMommy]

happypooh, how did you make the sky for the Giraffe paper piecing? It looks so cool in the photo. Only sorry I won't be able to see it up close. :sad: Okay, really sorry.

I'm sorry, Susie! They're all sealed up and ready to go. I wasn't in that group, so I know that it wasn't my bag we took pictures of. Ok, we'll do this. Group 5, when you get your bags, please check your Affection Section stuff and see if you have everything. The only one I opened was the one we took pictures of. If yours is the one without the tag, just post here, and we can figure out who it goes to! :)

[mommy2mrb]

everything looks wonderful, can't wait to see them in person!

[New England Eeyore]

Usually I wait to get them before looking at pictures, but I couldn't resist and I peeked. I love everything! Great work as usual, ladies!!

Thanks for hosting, Heavenly Branch!! ;)

[StitchIsOurHero]

Thanks for hosting, Heavenly Branch!! ;)

:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

Yep, I almost spit tea at the screen!! And here I thought no one would remember that!! :rotfl:

[New England Eeyore]

Oh, I think that will be stuck in my head for a long time. I love that story!

[StitchIsOurHero]

Official post from Heavenly Branch ;) :

These are on their way!! :cool1:

Please post when you get them so I know they're home!! :thumbsup2

[AlexWyattMommy]

Mine are home.
I haven't opened them yet as we just got back from the doctor for a foot lancing. Not me, the little guy stepped on a toothpick Saturday (his toothpick from playdough-don't ask) and it got all puffy and infected looking. It looks much better now.

[Princess Jayne]

Hope he's better soon AWM!

Bet mine take ages to get here! lol! theres such a backlog from the postal strike everythings taking forever! x

[party of 3]

OUCH!

[StitchIsOurHero]

Oh, AWM! Pixie dust to him for fast healing!! :wizard:

I'm glad your stuff made it home ok! :)

[AlexWyattMommy]

Thanks guys. His foot looks much better now. Don't think he'll be asking to use toothpicks with his playdough anymore. ;)

[happypooh]

Oh I hope he's better soon!
The sky is just some paper I picked up...didn't have to do anything to it! Glad you like it! (I'll see if I can find more of it and make another one...)

[Mickster]

[StitchIsOurHero]

Hopemax - do you remember where you got the orange patterened cardstock you used for the bottom-most layer of MJT? I love it!

It's the "Oh So Opulent" pattern of Imaginisce's Exotic East collection. I bought it on sale at Recollections, so I think it is discontinued. But I'm sure there are online stores that still have it. I love it too.

[StitchIsOurHero]

We're more than halfway home now!! YAY!! :thumbsup2

[mommy2mrb]

Got mine yesterday! Love everything! can't wait for our Jan WDW trip to use all my goodies.
Thanks again for hosting Brooke!
