Resort Swap COMPLETE

[New England Eeyore]

:thumbsup2 I'm going away for the weekend, so I'll update Tuesday if anything arrives. (DH will be here to get the mail.)

[New England Eeyore]

AWM and kkbeaton - both of yours arrived today. I didn't open the packages yet but tucked them away for safekeeping until next week.

[morgansmom2000]

Got my paper today and school starts on Tuesday! It shouldn't take me more than one session to get these done. I'll mail on time ;)

[kkbeaton2]

Thanks for letting me know mine arrived there.

[party of 3]

Group N - Polynesian borders:

Holy cow kkbeaton those borders are awesome!!!! i love them!
are they from a cart?

[SusieStone]

With school starting this week and it being a new one, everythingbut that and work came to a halt. I plan on finishing these up over the weekend and mailing on Monday. Will post when I have dc.

[kkbeaton2]

Holy cow kkbeaton those borders are awesome!!!! i love them!
are they from a cart?

Thanks! Yes they are from Life's A Beach. The face pieces are not done on the cart for the border size, so you have to know how big to make them for them to fit on the border piece. I learned that if you do the border at 2", then the face pieces would be 4", if you do the border at 3", then the face pieces would be at 6", etc... basically the face pieces are double the size of the border pieces. The flower is a punch, but they do have a similar flower on LAB also.

[SusieStone]

For Wilderness Lodge - please change me to shapes, thanks

[StitchIsOurHero]

Progress to report--yay!! I finished my Carribean Beach group, and I have the tags cut (but not assembled) for Poly! :thumbsup2

[SusieStone]

I am finished with all my groups. I am ready to mail. I am going to try to get to the PO tomorrow.

[New England Eeyore]

This Tuesday was supposed to be another check in, but I'm not going to worry about that since we just had one. A reminder that we are about a week away from the mail by date of September 8. Hopefully everyone's on track for that. Let me know if there are any problems.

Hopemax, I got your stuff from Michelle this weekend. Gorgeous as always! THANK YOU for the goodies. Especially Beaker. :worship: You are amazing.

I never did get those pictures posted, but now I have more to photograph. This week is crazy so I probably won't post until I have pretty much everything here.

[DisneyBarlans]

Checking in-my CBR group is done, cutting out Poly and Sports right now to assemble tomorrow. Will mail on time (with Duchess Tisha) with DC.:)

[DisneyBarlans]

[QUOTE=kkbeaton2;33276848]Ok, all done!:thumbsup2 Here are my items:

Group N - Polynesian borders:

http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss315/kkbeaton2/August034.jpg

For my Poly shapes, I'm doing 2 tikis from LAB and 2 flowers, so our things will match well together. :thumbsup2

[kkbeaton2]

That sounds cute! :goodvibes

[Queenie]

Those Poly borders are fantastic, makes me with I was in that group!

[morgansmom2000]

I plan to work on these tomorrow and mail on Wednesday or Friday. I will be sending by non-priority, since we are so close ;)

[StitchIsOurHero]

I got my AKL topper cut yesterday & the journal box for the other group. Hoping to finish both AKL groups tonight!!

[morgansmom2000]

Here are my photo frames for All Star Music. http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/pp203/stampinupwithjennifer/DSC_0872.jpg

I did not adhere the green shadow to the yellow background so you can put your photo in. And, "All" is also not adhered. The openings aren't quite 4x6, but I hope they are okay ;)

Also, for Group T, can you change me to Journaling Box and Tag? I don't think anyone would want 2 journal boxes. Is that okay? Thanks!

[velrox]

I figured I would make up for my tardiness the last check in. I am on schedule to a timely completion. I will email you when I am done, so we can arrange a drop off. Thanks.

[morgansmom2000]

Okay, here is group T. I may mail tomorrow, if I get myself together to get the package ready tonight. If not, definitely on Friday.

http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/pp203/stampinupwithjennifer/DSC_0875.jpg

[StitchIsOurHero]

Got the topper part assembled & the letters cut for my AKL topper group. I just have to finish putting the letters on, and it'll be done! Then, just finishing the box and tag AKL group & the Poly group, and I'm done! I'm looking to mail on Tuesday, the 8th!!

these are awesome!

[morgansmom2000]

these are awesome!

Thanks! Colors look wonky because I did it without the flash. Lighting in the DR sucks.

[New England Eeyore]

Super cute mm2000!

velrox - Just so you can pace yourself, I'd be available for pick up on 9/10 or 9/11 next week.

[Queenie]

Hi,

I am postal - yay! Hope it all gets there ok :)

[BernardandMissBianca]

Hey Mama!!!

How is Mr. Bean doing? We haven't heard from you in a while so I thought maybe he had made his grand entrance early.

[Queenie]

Nooo not yet! Had a few false alarms but nothing worthy of a trip to the maternity ward as yet. I've had a sudden surge of energy these past 2 days and am sleeping really well so my mum thinks he's very imminent. I'm just trying to make the most of the energy and getting stuff finished up.

Not long to go, due date is a week on Sun (13th) and if he refuses to budge I'm due to go and be induced on about the 23rd. EEEP!

[Mickeyteacher]

I'm postal... I have a DC number upstairs, so let me know if you need it.
S :)

[New England Eeyore]

rlovew - I got yours today. Everything looks great!

I'll have to leave my mailman cookies next week with all the arrivals!

[morgansmom2000]

Mine were mailed yesterday. I too have DC if you need it.

[123SA]

I'm not in this grp:sad1: This is wonderful! Can you give me the details? Is that a Hannah Montana cart piece or did you design this?

[morgansmom2000]

I'm not that talented ;) Both are from the HM cartridge.

[New England Eeyore]

mm2000 - yours arrived today. Very nice!

[morgansmom2000]

That was quick!

[StitchIsOurHero]

I am hoping to finish today. My Bell's Palsy stuff has decided to make a repeat appearance, so it will depend on how that goes. I don't lack much, so at the latest, it'll be in the mail Wed./Thurs. It should still make it by the 15th! I'm sorry!!

Suzanne--I got your pm! I'll pm you back in a little while!! :thumbsup2

[New England Eeyore]

SIOH - no problem on both counts. I hope you are feeling better soon!!

[party of 3]

hope you are feeling better real soon Brooke!

[aries1980]

Mine went out this Morning Sorry got caught up with my daughters first day of school!

Thanks!

[DisneyBarlans]

Mailed mine and DuchessTisha's yesterday. I have DC number if you need it. :)

[MegB]

Sorry, I've been MIA. Back to school, then we were away for the long weekend in Maine, where the kids got sick. Now I'm sick - after just 3 days back in school - unbeliveable.

Mine will be in the mail by the end of the week and since I'm also in Mass, it shouldn't take more than a day or two to get to Peabody. Or I could just drop them off to or from my way to work in Burlington. Either way, you'll have mine by the Sept 15th deadline.

Meg :flower3:

[New England Eeyore]

Mickeyteacher - yours arrived yesterday. Looks good!

MegB - you're right that it won't take long to get here via mail, so don't worry. But if you want to save on postage, I am not very far off 128. I won't be home much over the next week or so, but you could leave it in the mailbox. LMK if you need directions.

I have heard from most of you with your mailing status - Thank you! - and I will PM a couple that I have not.

An update on swapping this out. Because of a change in work schedule, if I have everything by the due date, I will be able to swap out and get to the post office on September 16. If any packages are not here by the 15th, I will not be able to get to the post office again until 9/24. It's possible I could go to the automated postal machine after work one night in between there, but I can't make any guarantees about that.

[momx3boys]

I'm sorry I just can't seem to get things together. Mine will be postal in the AM I promise. It still should get there in time. I'm sorry!!

[StitchIsOurHero]

I'm finally feeling a little better, and can use both hands now (always a plus!!). I'm hoping to finish tonight (just lack the Poly tags), so DH can mail it tomorrow. It should still get there by Tuesday!!

Thanks, everyone, for the get well wishes!!

[SusieStone]

Postal- priority mail with delivery confirmation.

[New England Eeyore]

Mail call!

I got DisneyBarlans, DuchessTisha's and Queenie's items today! Everything looks great and thanks for the goodies!

[StitchIsOurHero]

Mine are going today--again, I'm sorry for the delay! I still think they'll probably get there by Tuesday, though. ..just based on how long it's taken stuff before. Thanks again, Suzanne, for hostessing!!

[New England Eeyore]

Last night I got calanniebu, Michellepooh and schelinsky's pieces. And today in the mail I received aries1980, momx3boys and SusieStone's. I haven't opened the boxes yet. I plan to photograph the new arrivals and swap out whatever groups I can tonight so it'll make it easier for the last 3 arrivals.

[velrox]

Dropped mine off at your house at 1:25 pm. Thanks for letting me do that. Let me know when you are ready for to pick up.

[New England Eeyore]

I got SIOH's in the mail today and velrox's delivered.

Before those two arrivals, I had been to the post office for other stuff and I mailed out 3 people who I could: aries1980, Mickeyteacher and wall*e2008.

Just waiting on one more arrival!

Pictures will be coming shortly - I just have to upload them.

Dang, that was fast!!!!! :yay:

[ZeroToHero]

:woohoo:

If we go to the October 10th crop, (you'll be there, right?) could I get them then? Or do you not want to hang on to them for that long?

Thanks so excited!

[MegB]

I'm running errands this afternoon and I'll be dropping my sets off at your house today (around 1pm). Thank you for letting me do that.

I had the best of intentions, signing up for 2 swaps that were due the same week as vacation starts and shortly after school started. I got more overwhelmed than I anticipated:headache:. Live and learn....

I'll be away until Sept 27th, so there is no reason to rush mine out. If there's a local swap at the Dream in Tewksbury, I'd be happy to pick them up there. Whatever works for you, Suzanne.

Thanks, Meg:flower3:

[MegB]

Me again. Dropped off early this afternoon. I also enclosed a check in one of the group bags for postage. The box is already labeled with my address. Sorry mine were so much later than everyone else's. :flower3:

[New England Eeyore]

Everything has been swapped out and is loaded in the car to go to the post office in a little bit.

Thanks for being a great group of swappers, everyone, and making this an easy swap for me!!

I'm working on the pictures and slideshows right now and will have them up soon.

MegB - no problem at all. You made it by the due date and that's all that matters! Hope DH didn't scare you - he works a split shift and comes home in the middle of the day to rest so he's not always terribly sociable mid-day. Since you're going away, I'll hold your box so we don't have to worry about it getting lost. I'll be the Dream next on October 10, so when you get back from vacation, let me know if you want me to mail it or if you want to pick it up there.

ZTH - I have no problem holding it until the 10th. I'll feel like Santa Claus coming in with all the goodies for everyone!

velrox - I'll touch base with you when I get back next week to talk about a dropoff.

Everyone else - keep an eye out for your packages and let me know when they arrive!

[MegB]

Suzanne - thank you for hosting!

I can't remember which address I had you mail too. If it's West Newbury, someone will be home, so you can mail with everyone elses.

If the mailing address I gave you was in Methuen, please hold on to them for me and I'll see you on Oct 10th.

Thank you,
Meg:flower3:

It was West Newbury, but I already went to the post office and didn't bring yours, so I'll hold it until the 10th if that's okay.

[New England Eeyore]

Here is the link to the photos, in slideshows by resort:
http://s122.photobucket.com/albums/o248/NewEnglandEeyore/Resort%20Swap/

I apologize for a few pictures - the flash washed out the colors in some and they're not true to life - so if they don't look like they fit in with the rest of the group - it's not the items, it's my crummy photography. Also, I had not kept track of which was group I vs IA as I photographed them, so both AKL groups are lumped together.

I think you will all be very happy with this swap! I'm so glad I joined so many groups and got so many lovely pieces to use! Thanks, ladies!

[morgansmom2000]

Thanks, NEE, everything looks great!

[StitchIsOurHero]

Everything looks great!! Thanks, everyone, and thanks, Suzanne, for hostessing!

This makes me even more excited for our upcoming trip (and I didn't think that was possible!!)!

That works for me. Can't wait to see everything. Thank you again.

[ZeroToHero]

:woohoo: Glad the 10th works for you... will you feel like Jack Skellington? We can play Nightmare Before Christmas music.... and Halloweeny things.

[New England Eeyore]

:woohoo: Glad the 10th works for you... will you feel like Jack Skellington? We can play Nightmare Before Christmas music.... and Halloweeny things.

Would you believe I've never seen that movie?

[Schelinski]

I can't wait for our trip next week...and then I will be excited for the 10th! So excited to see everything!

[aries1980]

I can't wait for our trip next week...and then I will be excited for the 10th! So excited to see everything!

Us too Have a safe a Magical trip!

[ZeroToHero]

Would you believe I've never seen that movie?

:eek:

I think you need to go get it out of the library, grab some popcorn:: and watch it either this Halloween or around Christmas!

Just kidding, but I like it....

[morgansmom2000]

Got mine today. Great stuff, ladies. My Saratoga Springs colors were waaaaaaaaaaay off, I'm so sorry, I couldn't find the colors listed and went with what I thought would work. :rolleyes:

[123SA]

My box arrived and is sitting with all of my other unopened mail:eek: I hope to get a few peaceful moments to open it tonight.

Thanks for hostessing NEE!

[AlexWyattMommy]

Thank you for hostessing NEE.:cloud9:

My box arrived today.

Thank you everyone who played.

[StitchIsOurHero]

I got mine yesterday, but didn't get to post! Thanks, everyone! It's AWESOME!!!

[rlovew]

Mine arrived yesterday, sorry I did not get post yesterday.

Rebecca

[kkbeaton2]

I got mine yesterday, everything looks great! Thanks everyone for a job well done, and thanks for hostessing NEE!

[chiefdragon]

got my package last week. I love everything. Thank you to everyone.

[hopemax]

I just realized that I never posted that I received my box. I got it last Friday, and then debated on whether I should wait to open it until after the move. That lasted about 30 seconds. Great stuff everyone!

[Mickeyteacher]

I do not think that I posted that I got my box either. Love all the stuff- can not wait to use it for our first trip home next week...
S :)

[momx3boys]

I finally picked mine up today. Thanks so much for everything!

[MegB]

Hi NEE. I finally got around to signing up for the crop at Scrapbookers Dream this Saturday. I have to work in the morning first, so I won't arrive for the crop until around 3pm. Are you still planning on being at that crop? If you are, would you mind bringing my box with you? If not, I'll just swing by Peabody sometime at your convenience. Let me know. Thanks. Meg B:flower3:

[New England Eeyore]

Hi Meg,

I'm going to be there at some point tomorrow, and your box is ready to go in my pile of things to bring! If I miss you, I'll leave it with Laurie to give to you.

[ZeroToHero]

My mom and I received ours, hand-delivered, so thank you very much!

I hope you feel better!!!!

[New England Eeyore]

I'm going to call this one complete. I delivered the last few packages this weekend, and I checked the D/C on those who had not responded and they were delivered.
