MT: Those are too cute.. I'm gonna lift them..
I especially love the Autumn flip mats!!

Oh, inspirtation.. that would be too cool for parade photos.. do a 2 page spread... (I have to have every photo I take of parades printed.... LOL) Well, to be honest DH says it's more than 2 page spread for my parade photos.. he said I need to do a book specifically for each parade!

Thanks- I had so much fun working on these pages. I think I like the pages better then elements right now.

[AlexWyattMommy]

Who makes that paper? I love them.

I am dying to see the painted paper up close. How cool that you thought to that.

[party of 3]

Mickeyteacher- awesome work! love those halloween sets!

[AlexWyattMommy]

We are almost at two weeks until mail by.

Is everyone feeling like they will be done on time?

[DisneyIsTerrific]

I'm fine. I should be done with the Topper & Tags this week and will mail both swaps together.

[PinballFamily]

I'm fine. I should be done with the Topper & Tags this week and will mail both swaps together.

Us too - that's our plan (PBF and Z2H) as well!

[velrox]

So, how do I exactly go about mailing these 12x12 pages? Does the post office have a flat box that fits them? Any advice would be appreciated.

You can mail them diagonally in the lower price priority box ($11) if you don't have more than about 10 pages. If you have more than that then the large square flat rate box($15) is 12 by 12- you need to put something under one corner of the pages to keep the edges from getting bent (again making them somewhat diagonal.

Priority mail box )-1095 is 12.5 x 15.5 x 3
It will fit the 12x12 with no squashing.
Unfortunately it is not flat rate, so I have no idea how much it will cost to mail them in that.

[DisneyIsTerrific]

I mailed my pages out today. The Topper & Tag stuff is in there with them. Please hold onto my pages and mail back with the TNT swap. Thanks!

[SusieStone]

I plan on mailing mine by Saturday morning. It's sitting around waiting to be checked. I had wanted to mail my T n T with it - sad to say that ain't happening.

[Mickeyteacher]

I plan on mailing tomorrow or monday. I have to get to the post office for a box.

So, now my next question...do I mail my copy too? Or am I just mailing the other three in my groups?

[ZeroToHero]

Your copy too- it makes it easier on the hostess! :)

[AlexWyattMommy]

:thumbsup2 This way I can just pick up a stack from the right pile and put it in your return box. I don't have to worry about which stack, because they are all the same. :)

[DisneyBarlans]

Checking in-finished with my page. Will mail early next week. :goodvibes

[momx3boys]

I'm here and hopefully will get to finish this weekend.

They are here!!

[duchess_tisha]

Does anyone know where you can get the 2 gallon bags? I saw them at Wal Mart a couple weeks ago, and now I can't find them anywhere!

[morgansmom2000]

Try your local Dollar Store. They sometimes have them at mine. (5 per box).

HTH,

[PrincessNancy96]

AWM is w/o internet currently. Unsure of when it will be fixed. She asked me to remind all of you that the mail by day is FRIDAY, THIS FRIDAY, September 25th.

I'll monitor this thread until she gets back.. if you need anything please let me know!

[AlexWyattMommy]

I have found them at Walmart and my local grocery store.

I have also seen at Walmart some that are made for school. They are a little bigger than 2 gallon and have a special silk screen on the front for writing. Ziplock also makes larger bags for storage. They come in many sizes that will fit 12x12. I'll be sure that you get your own bags back if you have to buy the more expensive ones. :thumbsup2

[AlexWyattMommy]

:flower3: Thank you Nan!


I found someone live to talk to at Verizon to get my internet fixed. Apparently the power outage fried the memory of the modem. I got to give it a new one. It now likes Pina Coladas and getting caught in the rain. :rotfl2::lmao:

[PrincessNancy96]

:lmao:

We'll at least we can satisfy your modem if there are any additional problems!!!

[Mickeyteacher]

I did not get these mailed this afternoon, I will get them out- I promise. The rain was so bad, I wanted to come home and make sure we did not have water in the basement.
S :)

[AlexWyattMommy]

I'll be watching our basement too. Rain/storms all week.

[duchess_tisha]

Mickeyteacer ~ I hope your neck of the woods is OK!! I live in Lawrenceville/Dacula area...it has been awful here!

I will be postal by Friday...unfortunately I can't get toppers and tags mailed with it. Darn!

[123SA]

I am going to wait until Friday -- hopefully I can get my last topper group done.

[Mickeyteacher]

I mailed my package yesterday.
We are all ok here- drying out from the storms. We did not have any damage which is good but please remember all the people in the metro area that have suffered damage. Many place here do not require flood insurance, so they have lost everything.
S :)

[rlovew]

that is always so sad to see

Rebecca

[123SA]

Mailed today. Can you hold this to mail back with the toppers?

[AlexWyattMommy]

::yes:: I can hold it. :)

Your package is here already!

I haven't opened it yet, but it looks fine on the outside. Looks like the PO kept it dry.

That is just horrible to think about all the loss and damage. I am glad you were spared.

I'm glad that it arrived safe and dry. I did bag everything, so even if the box was wet, I'm sure the stuff would be fine.

[VickiV]

Unfortunately, I won't get mine shipped by tomorrow, so I'm aiming for Monday. They'll go priority, so they'll be there on time anyway.

VickiV

[velrox]

Mine is going in the mail today:cool1:

[DisneyBarlans]

My stuff is going out with DuchessTisha's today. :thumbsup2

[duchess_tisha]

Me and DisneyBarlans are postal with DC if needed! :cool1:

Now on to finishing Toppers N Tags!! :banana:

[AlexWyattMommy]

I have 123SA's box today. :)

[SusieStone]

After driving mine around for several days - they have now actually been mailed.

DC 03080660000005565691


I hope I typed it right. That is too many 0s

[ZeroToHero]

Ours were just mailed!

Delivery confirmation & insurance are on them, so if anything goes wrong, let me know!

[AlexWyattMommy]

Mine is going in the mail today:cool1:

:thumbsup2 Got it today

[VickiV]

Mine were shipped today. I even used too much postage. I shipped a medium box for the price of a large. I didn't have scissors and tape with me to fix the error. Too bad it won't make them arrive sooner.

just need DisneyBarlan's box to arrive with Duchess_Tisha's things too.

[AlexWyattMommy]

I have them all in their groups now.

I will take photos of the ones I don't have in the slideshow tonight and try to get that up and running tonight too.

If you are in the T'n'T and want me to hold them, if you haven't already told me, let me know.

I can get Rebecca's out tomorrow, but the rest have to wait for the last box.

These really look awesome in person. The details are, well, you just have to see them.

Vicki - were did you get your circle cut dangly ribbon for the summer page? I'm a fool for ribbon and fiber. I'm longing after that. :rotfl2:

[DisneyBarlans]

Can you please mail my pages and DuchessTisha's pages back with Toppers & Tags? PM me if you need more $ for the postage. Thanks!

If you have to go out of your way- feel free to wait and mail mine with the others. On the other hand if you want stuff out of the house feel free to mail it tomorrow.

Rebecca

[AlexWyattMommy]

Still waiting on the last box.

I did get some out today though.

Please let me know when they get there.

I got it at Wal-Mart. They had blue, red, and an orange I think. I wouldn't have seen it except ours was closing due to a new Super Wal-Mart opening and it was on the clearance rack. It was in the fabric department. If you should find any, it might take more than you think due to the spacing on the ribbon. I used 3 packages for my pages. There was no more at the store and there isn't much left at all. If you cut it, you'll probably want to tie a knot in the thread that holds the sequins together or make sure the end is really caught in the glue.

The packaging says :

Next style Beaded Fringe, Horizon Group USA, Hirschberg Schutz & Co., Inc., Toll Free Number is 800-651-0616

Item # BPW20135-40

Hope that helps.

:confused3 Why does the US Postal System hate our Holiday Complete Page Swaps so much??

Duchess_Tisha & DisneyBarlan's box was returned to them. She doesn't know why, she isn't home. She did have her DH send the box back out via FedEx. It should be here tomorrow. Not sure what time, as I am a residence and they don't have an exact schedule. I will do my best to get them swapped out and boxed up to mail out on Wednesday. I have school duty in the morning. So if I can't do it Tuesday evening, I will Wednesday afternoon.

I just need to take photos of the new pages before swapping and sorting and packing.

Thank you all for your patience.

[AlexWyattMommy]

I have sent out MickeyTeacher and SusieStone's boxes.
Everyone else has their stuff in a box waiting for the t'n't swap.

I will take photos tonight. Forgot to do it before. Good thing I still have some of the groups. :thumbsup2

[believen]

Great layouts!!

[VickiV]

I got my box today. We have cluster mail boxes in our neighborhood. My problem was the key to the parcel box didn't work properly. I was really fighting to get into that box! Once, I had to wait until the next day for the mail carrier to open it, and I didn't want to wait until tomorrow! Eventually, it did open, but not with the lock that it should have. Lovely pages ladies!

VickiV

[velrox]

I don't know when it came, as it was left in my garage by the postman. I happened to find it this morning. Looking forward to opening the box this evening. Thanks for taking care of the swap for us!

[momx3boys]

Got mine, thanks so much! Thank you for hosting AWM!

[Mickeyteacher]

Got my box! I have not looked at everything, but I will this weekend!
Thanks everyone and AWM for hosting.

I have sent out the rest of these with the T'n'T swap except for the one still waiting. :thumbsup2

[DisneyIsTerrific]

AWM thank you for hostessing!:flower3:
