Everyday Swap - COMPLETE

[Mom-to-2-Princesses]

The EVERYDAY SWAP will have sign-ups open on Thursday August 11, at 9 am. They will stay open til Monday, August 15 (about 3:00).

This is a fun swap which is a "catch all" for items not covered in the other swaps. I loved how last year's swap (DisneyisTerrific was the hostess) was set up and decided to go the same route. So unless otherwise noted, each category will require a title/topper and one additional element. In most categories DIT had title suggestions. I am doing that as well, but I changed most of them so people won't have duplicates from last year. They can be adapted to fit your style.

Newbies are welcome. If you haven't swapped with us on this board before, then I will limit you to 2 groups.

If groups fill up and there is enough interest I will open more groups.

Check-ins
Confirm your groups and send me your contact info by – August 19
Check in #1 by – September 15
Check in #2 by – October 5 ** Last Call for Angels**
Mail by – November 4
Due by – November 9

After sign-ups, please pm me your name, DIS name, mailing address, email address and phone number. (I will only use these in an emergency).

I will pm you with a reminder if you forget to check in. After 48 hours with no response I will request angels for your spots. If you are going on vacation or will be out of town, please check in early. Please do not sign up for more than you can handle. If you need an angel, please ask for one as soon as possible.

If you finish early, feel free to mail to me as soon as you are done. I have room to store the boxes.

SWAP REQUIREMENTS
The groups are listed in the next post.

(Groups A -- BB)
Topper/Title and an additional element from the Element List

Title = standard 8x2 topper (other sizes are okay), welded and shadowed letters, letters on squares, circles,mini tags or other shapes, a large title tag, borders.

Element list:
1 paper piecing (not a single layer diecut)
2 photomats for a 4x6 photo, 2 layers, smallest layer 4 ¼ x 6 ¼, embellished
2 journal boxes, total of 3 layers, minimum writing space 3x3, embellished
2 tags (or 1 large tag—greater than 2x3), 2 layers, something in the hole and embellished
1 file folder or matchbook (2 if mini) - -embellished
2 slide mounts -- embellished
Altered CD
3 altered paper clips
1 shaker box
1 library pocket and tag. Tag must be 2 layers with something in the hole, pocket must be embellished

Altered letter: matted at least 4 inches
1 Border - 12x2 inches and able to be cut down to 11 inches in length - 2 layers and embellished.

You can mix and match -- 1 tag and box, 1 photomat and box, 1 tag and 2 squares or shapes, etc.

******Please let me know if you have an idea not listed! We are open to new things.

Suggestions for embellishments include:
Die cuts, stickers, stickles, flock, ink, chalk, brads, charms, flowers, eyelets, ribbon/fiber, sewing, tearing, embossing, stamping, clipart, additional layers of paper beyond double mats (if it would look weird trying to fit in another embellishment, specialty paper (such as embossed, glitter, Bling).

(Groups 1 - 6)
2” and 4" Letter Words
* Make your letter(s) 2 inches or 4 inches, matted, and embellished at least once. Your top letter is cut at 2 (4) inches and the mat can be the shadow. You may use patterned and solid colored paper. Please be creative and use colors that represent the word.

Packaging Instructions
PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THIS THROUGH CAREFULLY. If you are unable to package and label as follows, I respectfully ask that you do not sign up for this swap. Items that are not packaged and labeled properly are an added burden to the hostess; it really slows down the sorting process and increases the chances of you not getting back the pieces you are entitled to.

2” Letter Words – Place each letter or sets of letters into a Ziploc bag that is able to close (most people use snack size or jewelry bags) and label as noted below. Place those individual bags into a larger bag (quart size or larger) that will also be labeled.

Standard Element Groups - Place each set of items in a Ziploc bag that is able to close and label it as noted below. Place the individual bags inside a gallon size or larger bag. NO SMALLER. Although your items may fit in a quart size bag, the pieces you get back may not fit in a small bag. Label the outer bag also. The little paper slips that go in the bags are also fine.

Label the individual bags and the larger bag with your DISname, name and group info:

Mom-to-2-Princesses
Lee Ann ________
Group D - Family

Thank you for taking the time to make sure your pieces meet these requirements.

Mailing Instructions
* You may send to me by any method you choose unless you are mailing after October 26th. Then, you must mail Priority with Delivery Confirmation. I recommend Delivery Confirmation for all packages, even before the October 26th date, but it is not required until after October 26th.
* I will send back to you using flat rate boxes/envelopes. Please include enough postage in your package for return shipping. The NEW rates are: Envelope or Small Box (9”x6”x2”) - $5.20, Medium/Standard box – $10.95, Large - $14.95. If you want your items shipped to you with DC, please include another $.70, and a filled out slip. I will not mail the items back with delivery confirmation unless you include the $.70.
And I am not responsible to for postal errors. To minimize on postal errors, please include a return address label -- either a USPS priority mail label that you have addressed, or the little ones you would put on envelope.
* Do not include clik-it/ship-it postage. I will not be able to use it since it is only good on the day it was printed, and from the location it was printed.

I hope to have lots of fun with this swap and I know the items will be outstanding!!! These groups will offer a lot of creative opportunities for all of us and come in so useful on our scrapbooks!

Enjoy! :upsidedow

Added a Good Eats category. I like that one, we always take vacation food pictures! I tried to change most of the titles from last year, but sometimes couldn't come up with a new title or idea.

I had to give Lisa a few "second" choices. Hopefully they will work and if not she can change or delete.

Thanks!

[wdwmickey]

Thank you :)

[AlexWyattMommy]

Thank you.

Enjoy your evening!

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

I'd still like to join that girls group...is it possible to do either Diva, You Are My Sunshine or Little Miss Sunshine? I know none of these are related to the title listed, but I'm stumped on that one. Of these three, I prefer Diva, but would be able to do any of them. Let me know!!! Thanks a bunch!

Good Night!

All set! You have a great weekend as well. We have beautiful weather and I just got back from taking the girls mini-golfing, go carts, and water bumper boats. I think my weekend started early!

[AlexWyattMommy]

Maybe I missed this earlier on the information thread, how many do you need in a group to keep it open?

[ckmom97]

Maybe I missed this earlier on the information thread, how many do you need in a group to keep it open?

Good question. I'll change and/or add groups based on this.

Good question. I'll change and/or add groups based on this.

It's an excellent question and one I was starting to ponder but decided to push out until later in the weekend. I wasn't sure how many others might join with the work week over.

I've been in swaps where the groups are kept open at two players, but I think I would prefer to keep it at 3 :confused3 What do you think?

Also, I still have more groups to join. Didn't want to be "grabby" and am hoping to fill in some of the holes late Sunday after giving others first choice of titles. I think I can guarantee that a lot of the two person groups will be at least 3.

[AlexWyattMommy]

Here are my last groups to make the current numbers 3.

Group H - My Toys
Group P - Game Night
Group R1 - Vacation

'Ohana Means Family

D. Family

T. Zoo
Call of the Wild

And if you would consider adding 1 more person to these groups, I'd love a spot. I know they're full though so it's understandable if you'd rather not.

Music Is My Life (ipod theme)
L. Girls
Slumber Party

Added you to A,C,D, and T.

Ladies in groups K (Teens), L (Girls), and Q (Sentiment Titles) what do you think about making them groups of 6? I like the idea and was already thinking of it for Q since WDWDisney was sitting all by her lonesome in Q1. And I like the titles you chose!

[Mom-to-2-Princesses]

I just added myself to a few more groups and deleted groups which had no participants (goodbye Cats!). Please take a few minutes and see if there is anything else you want to join. Remember it is a title and only one other item from the element list - not too time consuming and you will be getting some awesome stuff back.

I just changed open items to this color so it will stand out more.

I will be closing this at noon on Monday.

[wdwmickey]

You can drop Q1 it's okay with me :)

[mybestieismickey]

Want to add a few groups:

B: First Comes Love
D: Reunion Time
P: Movie Time (can I change it to Movie Night? but I'll take it either way)
Z: Dog Gone Cute

I have no problem adding another person to the girls group. Also, I would be interested in adding Q1 Wonderful, but if it's easier to add WDWMickey to group Q or a third person isn't interested, that's fine too. I promise I will live.

And since I am the only one interested in the 2" letters, it doesn't break my heart to drop them ;)

[ckmom97]

I'm in all three groups, and I don't mind making 6. The more, the merrier!

[ckmom97]

I found a few more groups I'd like to join:

Group P -- Our Artist
Group & -- Bears
Group V -- In the Kitchen

Thanks!

[Mom-to-2-Princesses]

Let's see what happens, especially since someone else is in that group now.

Got you in B,D,P,Z and changed the title, I like it!

Also added you to Q1 -- hopefully someone else will join, there are so many uses for those titles. But if it doesn't work then I'm glad you'll still be around to do your other groups. :upsidedow

And I agree, the 2" letters are keeping the cats happy where ever dropped categories go. :cloud9:

And thanks for getting back so quickly on the 6 person girl group!

I'm in all three groups, and I don't mind making 6. The more, the merrier!

Thanks! I agree! :dance3::dance3:

Hi this Swap will close and be active........sometime today! Originally it was noon, now I am going outlet shoe shopping with my girls so...whenever I get back!

Groups of two will be cancelled and groups of three or more will continue. I can tell this is going to be a fun swap!

[Mom-to-2-Princesses]

And if you would consider adding 1 more person to these groups, I'd love a spot. I know they're full though so it's understandable if you'd rather not.
K. Teens
Music Is My Life (ipod theme)
L. Girls
Slumber Party

Everyone I heard from was happy to have more at the party so I added your suggestions and changed these to groups of 6.

Sorry about your virus, but glad you like your titles! Added you to Q1.

[Mom-to-2-Princesses]

Thanks to all of you for participating! I have updated post #3 with all the players and their groups. Please double check groups and send your address in a PM to me. I will then send you my address for shipping.

Most groups look great -- I did need to delete (E) Babies, (N1) Friends, and (S) Vacation Sights but it looked like most people were in lots of other groups.

Happy scrapping! :goodvibes

Everyone has checked groups and we are set to go!

So a question for those in V. Cooking (ckmom97, wdwmickey, adtillma1, mybestieismickey). I am doing the heading Batter Up! Do you have a stand mixer (Kitchen Aide or look alike) or a hand mixer or both?

Thanks!

I have a hand mixer, but am hoping that my husband gets my "hints" that I really would like a stand mixer for Christmas.

I have both. I mostly use my stand, but for a lot of things, it's just easier for me to use the hand mixer. So what I am trying to say is either is fine with me. :)

[wdwmickey]

I have a had mixer that converts to a stand mixer. So either is fine for me too!

[mommy2mrb]

Cute, Lisa!!! I love that title! Is that a cart or did you make it in scal?

its from the "Phrases" cart...tons of cool titles! don't have scal!

[mommy2mrb]

Group X - camera....another title from the Phrases cart....thought the big camera would be a cute frame if you had a smaller photo

http://i973.photobucket.com/albums/ae217/mommy2mrb/P1080517.jpg


Group Q1 - Believe...the star behind the "believe" is actually all sparkly, everyone is also getting a rhinestone swirl to add to their page

http://i973.photobucket.com/albums/ae217/mommy2mrb/P1080518.jpg

[Mom-to-2-Princesses]

Lisa -- they are awesome and it's so sweet of you to add a little something extra to your groups.

[mommy2mrb]

[mommy2mrb]

[DisneyIsTerrific]

Lisa, I :lovestruc all of them!!! Great job!

[AlexWyattMommy]

Oh Lisa! I love them all. :cloud9:

That phrase cart is really useful. I would not have thought it would be since I don't make a lot of cards.

I have not started yet.

[mommy2mrb]

thanks :love: I'm really liking the phrases cart too! some different ones I'll never use but tons of great ones!

[mommy2mrb]

:lovestruc LOVE :lovestruc the different prints you used in your school title!

thanks, I actually used up a bunch of scrap paper for it!


and my last group #K - "so cool" after I had put together the mats and the flowers realized I should of embosses the pink strip on the mat to dress is up a bit more, couldn't take it apart without wrecking my papers..

http://i973.photobucket.com/albums/ae217/mommy2mrb/P1080521.jpg



I'm not sure if this is a good think or not...:rotfl:.I had everything in my stash :thumbsup2

[Mom-to-2-Princesses]

I think it was a very good "think"! I love the combo of brown and pink, it really works for that title but I wouldn't have thought of it.

Thanks for starting the check-ins ladies! I subbed for 26 5th graders yesterday and my mind is fried!

I've started working on the computer on my designs but paper, etc. hasn't been started yet.

[hiclarke]

Have supplies but I haven't started yet. Finishing Sketch Swap this weekend and then will move on to this one.

[MazdaUK]

I've still only done one group:headache: what with my Aunt's 80th and DS turning 18 this week there's been all sorts going on. Stupid work taking up my days:rolleyes1 and DS(11) getting loads of homework not helping.:sad2: I've got nothing booked for Friday morning though so hoping to cut before then and spend the morning with stuff everywhere :goodvibes:rotfl:

[mycutiepatooties]

Hey girls...if you are in this group can you chime in with your opinion please. I know suggestions may be all accross the board, but maybe it'll be a general consensus too so why not just ask.

K. TEENS - FULL- MAKE 6
1. So Cool -- mommy2mrb
2. Teen Scene -- MazdaUK
3. Hangin’ Out -- JJ&JHsmom
4. Whatever! -- ckmom97
5. LOL -- hiclarke
6. Music is my Life -- mycutiepatooties

My DD, 11, was making fun of the title I was going to do for this group. Should I change to something else? Suggestions are welcome but I thought of a few alternatives:
Live Out Loud
I Gotta Feeling
In My Groove
Getting My Groove On
Me and My Music
my Tunes


What do you think? I'm planning on making an ipod paper piecing (fingers crossed--it's broken apart and organized on many seperate pages in SCAL but looks intimidating) and a title.

[mycutiepatooties]

Question for our lovely hostess:hug:

I made something that's not on the list of elements. Wanted to be sure it's okay and if not, I'll use it in the holiday seasons page swap. I have Hearts and Kisses valentines theme. I made a title, paper pieced 4x6 photo frame, and *hearts mounted on little triangle flags hanging on a string like a banner. Can this be considered a border? I only made 1 so as to mix n match with the photo frame. It's 12 inches long.

Oh that sounds great! I made something like that for Fantasyland -- didn't know whether it should fit in the border category or shapes on a ribbon! But I knew it fit somewhere and yours definitely does as well! Sounds really cute, can't wait to see it!

[MazdaUK]

My Tunes works for me - how about "Mi tunes":rotfl:

ETA - all cut bar one group, and a couple inked while watching Dr Who ;-)

[Mom-to-2-Princesses]

Hey all -- it's check in time!

Please tell me how you are doing - -the swap is scheduled to mail by 10/26 to arrive here by 11/2. I know my time has been tight with finishing up the planner swap and pin swap and I don't need to mail it to myself. If you think we need an extra week and have it due on the 9th of November please let me know.

[mybestieismickey]

I have all my groups sketched and 95% of my supplies purchased. One group is done. I would not say no to an extra week, but I will have no problem finishing on time if the dates don't change.

[wdwmickey]

This is next on my list after the planner swap. I only have a few groups so I'm hoping to be postal by the middle of next week :)

[mycutiepatooties]

I only have 2 groups left to do. One of those is already designed in SCAL so I just need to cut and assemble. This is my only swap...so I will be done on time.

[DisneyIsTerrific]

I will be getting to this after I finish the planner swap. I wouldn't mind an extension on the due date, but even if it doesn't change, I will get them done and to you on time.

[MazdaUK]

I've done two groups, other three are cut and ready to assemble:thumbsup2 I've already mailed my planner swap so I don't need an extension:)

[ckmom97]

I pretty much have everything sketched, but I haven't started cutting everything. I'm going to finish up AK, pin and planner swaps this week, and be ready to start these on Tuesday. I wouldn't so no to an extra week, but I'll do my best to get them out by the due date.

[AlexWyattMommy]

Will be working on this while waiting for my last swapper to send for the page sketch swap and then finish up after I swap and mail everything.

[adtillma1]

I've finished up groups J and R1 and have them bagged and tagged. I'm hoping to get some done on my last group this weekend.

[Mom-to-2-Princesses]

Updated to post 151.

Let's extend the due date to 11/9 -- if everyone is strict on that then I'll get the items turned around quickly. I don't want my friends getting burned out!

[hiclarke]

Have paper and sketches and hope to start this weekend. Thanks for the extension!

Hanne

[AlexWyattMommy]

Mt2P, thank you for the extension. That is very nice!

[Mom-to-2-Princesses]

Hanne

Mt2P, thank you for the extension. That is very nice!

No problem! I don't want to drag out the due date too much but I think an extra week will take the stress off things.

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Checking in...have most cut, will start assembly soon. The extension does not affect me because I don't get back from vacation until the 8th. So, I will still have to mail by the 27th.

[Mom-to-2-Princesses]

Thanks ladies -- we are all checked in!

[MazdaUK]

I've done 4 groups - I'm just trying to decide on my last one, its all cut and uses glitter paper, but I want to do something to it IYKWIM :confused3 Its sort of burgundy, cream and gold on a light brown base - maybe some brown ribbon?

Group K - teens
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y243/MazdaUK/048.jpg

Group O - Birthday
The letters are stamped and stuck on ribbon - there is enough space to cut the words apart if you're doing smaller than 12x12 pages. The tag is huge and hand-embroidered, mounted on glitter paper (it looks better in person)
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y243/MazdaUK/047.jpg

Group P - misc fun
Rubbish photo - the white circles are supposed to look like golf balls!
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y243/MazdaUK/049.jpg

Group R1 - vacation
This has an extra layer of cardstock because none of my ideas came out right:headache:
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y243/MazdaUK/050.jpg

Hope you like them!

[Mom-to-2-Princesses]

Love your stuff! I really like all your paper choices.

Can't wait to see your last one -- glitter and burgundy and gold -- love the color combo! I think ribbon will be great with it!

[mycutiepatooties]

Mazda, those golf balls are too cute! LOVE the hand embroidered cupcake tag!!! I am impressed!:worship:

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

They are all great Mazda, but I agree with Traci....that cupcake tag is awesome!!!

[wdwmickey]

Love those Mazda :)

[ckmom97]

Luv those Mazda!! The cupcake tag is awesome! I think I get all those, but the vacation set. :banana:

[DisneyIsTerrific]

Love them all Mazda!!!!!:thumbsup2

[MazdaUK]

Thanks ladies! I couldn't find a suitable ribbon, but I do have some gold ricrac......

[mommy2mrb]

love your sets Mazda!!!

[MazdaUK]

Here's the final set

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y243/MazdaUK/001-12.jpg

I just need to check the weight and pack up then I'll probably get to the PO on Friday.:thumbsup2

[DisneyIsTerrific]

Looks great Mazda! I like the gold ricrac.

[JJ&JHsmom]

Mazda, love them all.

Cassey

[mommy2mrb]

Mazda, love your final set too!

[MazdaUK]

Thank you! Its more sparkly than shows up in the pics, but not over glittery (tasteful, y'know?:rotfl2:)

[MazdaUK]

:moped: postal:thumbsup2 start looking out any time lat next week onwards (pony permitting:rolleyes1)

[hiclarke]

Halfway finished! Here are three of my groups:

Group Q - Fabulous
http://i469.photobucket.com/albums/rr52/hiclarke/IMG_5672.jpg

Group Z - Bad to the Bone
http://i469.photobucket.com/albums/rr52/hiclarke/IMG_5660.jpg

Group J - Star Student
http://i469.photobucket.com/albums/rr52/hiclarke/IMG_5659.jpg

[Mom-to-2-Princesses]

Hiclarke -- too cute! Love the bling

[MazdaUK]

Love the sets! Love glitter generally;)

[wdwmickey]

Love those Hanne :)

[DisneyIsTerrific]

Great job on those sets! They look wonderful!

[mycutiepatooties]

Hanne those are great!!!!!!!! My favorite is the fabulous title! I'm :sad1: that I don't get any of them though...WAAAAHHH!

[AlexWyattMommy]

I love all the sparkle. What glue did you use? The stuff I have here doesn't hold well on it. I have to make the sparkle the top most layer or use a brad or it all falls apart.

[hiclarke]

Thanks everyone! As you can tell, I do like sparkle.

I use my ATG glue VERY liberally to make things stick. If I manhandle the pieces too hard they will come apart, but so far, everything seems to be sticking together.

Finished another set last night which I will post later today.

Hanne

[mycutiepatooties]

I am finally finished! Here are all of my groups. I'll work on labeling these tonight and I'll be postal tomorrow morning. I hope you like them... I tried to make new things that I've never done before.

Group A LOVE:
The little triangle flags are on a string. The frame fits a 4x6 photo.
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c312/mogulmike/023-2.jpg

Group C FAMILY:
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c312/mogulmike/025-1.jpg

Group D FAMILY:
Included an extra crochet flower. The mat and journaling box were stitched on my sewing machine.
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c312/mogulmike/024-1.jpg

Group K. TEENS:
The ipod is a photo mat embellished with a few app icons. The shapes are icons for Facebook, itunes, and Angry Birds. Crossing my fingers that you like this one.
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c312/mogulmike/021-3.jpg

Group L. GIRLS:
This title box has a ton of details. Inked, embossed, stamped, glitter mist...I spent a long time on this. The second picture shows an "X" that I cut and am including, but you can glue it on if you want. It's meant to cover the word slumber--not much slumbering goes on for any of us at my house at these parties.
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c312/mogulmike/026-2.jpg

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c312/mogulmike/027-2.jpg

Group T. ZOO:
Inspired to make the border from a LO I liked in a magazine. It's pop dotted and has a bunch of layers. Looks way better in real life.
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c312/mogulmike/022-3.jpg

[JJ&JHsmom]

Traci love them all!!!

Cassey

[ckmom97]

Traci, those are awesome!! I love them all. The ipod set will be perfect for my oldest dd. I can use the "X", too. We've had girls stay up all night during the last couple of slumber parties at our house. I can't hang with them anymore. :confused3 Can't wait to see them in person.

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Traci - those are amazing...no surprise there!!! :thumbsup2

[MazdaUK]

Those are amazing:worship: I love the i-pod - perfect for DS(18) - I think its become glued in his ears sometimes:rotfl:

[AlexWyattMommy]

The detail and dimension to them is amazing in person. :love:

[Mom-to-2-Princesses]

Traci -- too cute! And I really liked how you had fun with different looks for each group.

[wdwmickey]

Mail Call! Received two pacakages yesterday -- mycutiepatooties and MazdaUK.

The prices are all wonderful!!! I love seeing them in "real life" after the pictures. You love the pictures but then you see the real thing and all the colors are brighter and it just makes you fall in love again! Thanks again for everything ladies!

[wdwmickey]

Thanks for the scrap love :hug: I'm really struggling with being creative--I think I have "swap burnout" :scared1:

[adtillma1]

Mine will be Priority Mail to you tomorrow. :) They were supposed to have gone in the mail on Saturday but my kids got sick and then I went to a conference.

[AlexWyattMommy]

Went out twice to get gallon baggies, finally remembered the third time. Even with a list. :sad2:

Will be postal tomorrow.

[mybestieismickey]

Still plugging away. Should be postal by Monday.

[DisneyIsTerrific]

I'm still working on mine. I'm hoping to be finished and mailed by Monday.

[hiclarke]

Sent mine out yesterday and have DC code if you need it.

Hanne

[Mom-to-2-Princesses]

[AlexWyattMommy]

I am officially postal as of this morning. :thumbsup2

[Mom-to-2-Princesses]

I am postal too :) I have the DC if we need it.

Received today! The Imagine paper is even cooler in person. Thanks for the goodies!

[wdwmickey]

Glad it got there :)

[Mom-to-2-Princesses]

Packages from AWM and Hiclark on my front porch this morning. Thanks for everything!

[DisneyIsTerrific]

I am so sorry, but I'm not finished. I hope to be able to get these done and in the mail by Wednesday. As long as my free time stays free tomorrow and Wednesday morning I should be able to do it. Once again, I am sorry for not being more on top of this.

[mybestieismickey]

I'm with Stephanie. I fully intended to mail today, but I ran out of adhesive. I will get some more at work tomorrow, but realistically won't be postal before wed. So sorry!

No problem -- I have someone else who PMed me that she would be getting hers to me around the 14th. And my cutting machine's blade holder broke over the weened and I am hoping they will get the new one to me soon. I can create new titles, but I really liked some of my files I created.

So, if you need a little more time please take it. I just really want them here and out of the house by Thanksgiving.

[Mom-to-2-Princesses]

Package came yesterday from Adtillma1. Thanks!

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

I am trying to get these finished up...came home to a pet issue...will have them out by Monday, but trying for Saturday.

[ckmom97]

I'm running behind, too. Between a super-busy schedule and a misbehaving cricut, I've been stressed, but I'm finally finished and postal as of this afternoon. I have the DC# if you need it. I'll try to get pictures of everything posted tomorrow. Sorry for the delay.

Erin, hope your pet issues turn out ok. Since I know you are home, I'll put your envelope in the mail.

[DisneyIsTerrific]

I am finished. I just need to bag and label. I will get these in the mail no later than tomorrow.

[mybestieismickey]

I'm also finished. But guess who forgot the post office is closed today?!

Don't you hate it when our machines go wonky on us? My blade holder broke and now I can't cut anything.

Thanks ladies. I'm glad you like them. Stephanie, I luv your groups. You would think with all the groups I signed up for that I would be getting more than one of those.:sad2:

[MazdaUK]

I love everything and wish I had signed up for more.....:worship:

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Guys - I am very sorry...my puppy had surgery Monday and I have been held up ever since. He can not be left alone, so it's been a bit hard to get anything done. I will be trying to get the rest of my embellishing done tomorrow and Friday (since the kids have off Friday they can help watch him) and have these out Saturday. Will update again as soon as I can!

Sorry all this happened to you after your trip -- nothing like keeping you on your toes!

Get them to me when you can -- I know you are also working on some other swaps. I have a safe spot for all the boxes I have and I will get these back to you all after the holidays. We have company coming in for Thanksgiving, so it's time to think about menus, etc!

[DisneyIsTerrific]

LM3K, so sorry about the puppy. I hope he's doing better.

I checked the DC on my package and it was processed through Grand Rapids this morning. I mailed on saturday and the expected delivery date was Tuesday the 15th, but it sat in Jacksonville until the 15th.:confused3 I'm assuming that since it was in Grand Rapids that you won't be getting it until tomorrow. Here's the DC# if you want it: 9505500016451316000229

My package went out Saturday...did it arrive yet? P.O. said it would be there today, but I know it's holiday time. Thanks!

Erin -- it's been a week and your package hasn't been delivered. Did you do a DC so we can track it?

I'm hoping to see it Monday! Let's keep our fingers crossed!

Sorry...just getting back to you...was away at family's for the holiday. My DH mailed it for me and forgot the DC. I will go to the p.o. Monday morning and see what I can try to find out. I don't know that it will help, but I am hoping we can find something out. I have another package that is MIA so I need some sort of answer. I will let you know. I am very sorry about the major hold up!
