THanks Cheryl!

[Reddy]

Let's see if I can confuse you ;)

I want Group G 3, Stocks,, Group J, 4, Dream along with Mickey
Group A - any of the pirate ones - there is 3 so let the other 2 fill up then add me as the 3rd

Then you pick 3 more for me in any of the different groups (remember I'm a SCAL user so anything that you can't really do with a cricut cart is what you want to stick me in)

It is Title & one paper piecing (that is my element that I do)

eta: I've had a really difficult time logging on to the forum lately-it keeps telling me the server is busy or something like that....but I'm here, I try to check in frequently.

[123SA]

I added these spots. After this closes, I'll send you my email address -- if you are having problems with disboards, you can send me an email.

[Reddy]

OK here is my "Stock" in Liberty Square, I thought the title was kinda small so I grabbed the extra brown paper from cutting title & stock out & made 2.5 inch squares - thinking you could add 2in sq pic or add white to the top after you journel since I ran it thur the cuttlebug embossing like the title got.

If not, it's ok!!

Thanks!

[newtexan]

Can I say i'm a little (like a lot) intimidated by Reddy's great work?

Love the Stocks title and those extra little squares! It's fantastic!

[Reddy]

Can I say i'm a little (like a lot) intimidated by Reddy's great work?

Love the Stocks title and those extra little squares! It's fantastic!

Dont be - I already had the files so it was just gluing, so it was just like using a critcut cart - would you be intimidated by one of the Princeness from the cart??

Thanks everyone
now back to work on Mad Tea Party (I did inkscape a new file for it but it is alot easier than the first Mad Tea Party I did - I"m having a thing for having Mickey in rides)

[123SA]

Susan, I will drop group H if no one joins and add group I Mickey and Walt statue.

Cassey

I put you in the I3 - -do you want tht or Fairytale Garden? I dropped it since I only had it to fill in.

Also, I can add WDW RR to the Frontierland grp if you'd like.

Susan - not sure if I am getting this in in time....but you can give me A. 7, J. 5, G. 5, F. 3, C. 4, H. 6 and I. 3.

If not, it's ok!!

Thanks!

I dropped grp H. For grp I, I will have a spot for you - -either the statue or the Fairytale garden - -I am waiting on a reply. I have you in all of the other spots.

WOW! THis is awesome!

[Reddy]

I could do E3 if no one else wants it
since I"m not in that group

[mommy2mrb]

Reddy, love your stock's!!

[123SA]

I could do E3 if no one else wants it
since I"m not in that group

Great! Do you want CoP or Peoplemover -- I could switch the spots in the grps.

[ckmom97]

Luv those stocks, Reddy! I have the perfect pictures for them, too. So sad I'm not in that group!:sad1:

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Susan - you can keep me out of group I if it's full...no worries...just taking on a few groups to help fill in and keep in practice!! :thumbsup2

[Reddy]

Great! Do you want CoP or Peoplemover -- I could switch the spots in the grps.

I would prefer the Peoplemover but either one really (boys didn't like CoP so most likely won't be back for it)

[JJ&JHsmom]

I put you in the I3 - -do you want tht or Fairytale Garden? I dropped it since I only had it to fill in.

Also, I can add WDW RR to the Frontierland grp if you'd like.

I'll take Fairytale Garden. Don't worry about WDW RR.

Cassey

[123SA]

I would prefer the Peoplemover but either one really (boys didn't like CoP so most likely won't be back for it)

Peoplemover it is then. Can't wait to see what you do with it. CoP is possibly the only attraction we haven't done at WDW.

[123SA]

Susan - you can keep me out of group I if it's full...no worries...just taking on a few groups to help fill in and keep in practice!! :thumbsup2

I have the Walt and Mickey Statue open -- or if you have a different castle are idea that's fine too. IF you don't want the spot, no worries. I can let go at 3 spots.

[Reddy]

Peoplemover it is then. Can't wait to see what you do with it. CoP is possibly the only attraction we haven't done at WDW.

CoP is very cute - great for a walking break
you have the main guy telling how wonderful it is for each decade, what is "new" for the decade then this cute song when the real people's chairs move (the whole floor turns) then you go to the next decade repeat but the stadge has changed to what is in stlye for then

My boys don't care to watch shows unless it has fireworks

for People mover - I'll use last year's file

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

OK...I can do Walt & Mickey...I misunderstood and thought the group was full...didn't want you to make any special arrangements. :thumbsup2

[Reddy]

finally done - the letters on this sign didn't want to cut out right
http://i442.photobucket.com/albums/qq145/ReddyRd5/MadTeaParty006.jpg

WOW again!

[123SA]

I have sent pms with my info. If you didn't get one, I missed you. Please let me know.

Please check your groups and send pm with your info.

THanks!

hoping to get working on them this weekend.

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Dacky - this it o/t but did you see that the CK convention is in Lancaster this July instead of Valley Forge? I have wanted to go for years but never made it. Thinking about going this year and maybe making it a weekend getaway for the family in Hershey too??

[cjsteiger]

My Groups are fine. I'll pm you my info.

Cheryl:)

i did NOT see that! This sounds like something I can't miss. I'll go do some googling :) And you know if you go that we HAVE to meet, right? :)

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Ahhhh....sounds perfect!

[JohnsonsLoveDisney]

Groups are good. Was just thinking about what to do for them. going to get them done after my orders are filled this weekend and be on time early even :)

[Reddy]

quick question for those in Group J - Shows
for the Dream along with Mickey would you want one of these (I'm thinking Cindy one) or would you rather have Minnie in a White dress with blue trim??
http://i442.photobucket.com/albums/qq145/ReddyRd5/Disey%202011/Magic%20Kingdom/sb014.jpg

[Arizona Rita]

Reddy, omg, you are just amazing. Minnies are darling and the peoplemover is cute!
You need to hook up with Hope and go into business and I'll be your first customer!
BTW, Minnie in white with blue would also work for formal nights.:hippie:

[scrappinstevie]

Reddy, I love the Cinderella Minnie Mouse! I'm thrilled to be in this swap & a recipient of your paper piecings. I'm still thinking of something clever for my Wishes! set. I'm sure whatever you come up with will be cool.

[Reddy]

Reddy, omg, you are just amazing. Minnies are darling and the peoplemover is cute!

sell?? nope - not going to get Disney mad at me for selling copyright images (even if Disney would get it all anyways since Disney vacation is where the money would be spent)

[scrappinstevie]

I wanted to post some pictures of my spoilers but I can't get them to look right--they are smaller and rotated correctly on my screen and when I try to post them here, they are huge and sideways. Very frustrating.:confused:



http://i1095.photobucket.com/albums/i465/jennifer9129673/DSC_0670.jpg

[Reddy]

oh that is too cute - love the banner

[mommy2mrb]

[JJ&JHsmom]

Cassey

[123SA]

Wow! Great pieces!

[Reddy]

Hey which Mickey you ya like better??
http://i442.photobucket.com/albums/qq145/ReddyRd5/sb009-20.jpg

or

http://i442.photobucket.com/albums/qq145/ReddyRd5/sb001-34.jpg

I can't decide - I really like both of these
I have to go to work so I'll what ya say when I get back

I also asked on "The Daily Grind" if they think my "You May Get Wet" piecing would work for the Title

I got too much going thur my mind to decide

[newtexan]

I'm not in the group getting it, but I like the one with the parrot.

[123SA]

I like them both, but I like the sword more. (and I love the goofy!)

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

I'm not sure if I'm in the group but I like the one with the sword...and the parrot...lol guess I'm no help!!!

[mommy2mrb]

not in it either....mickey with sword!
love your goofy too!

[JJ&JHsmom]

Reddy, I love them both! Sorry I'm not any help.

Cassey

[Reddy]

I think there was one more vote for sword
it is 123SA, JLD & LM3K that are in the group - sad that it went down to 4 spots - it started with 7

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

The sword is my fav!!

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Susan - I am thinking that I will be snowed in on Saturday and may be able to finish these up. If so, can I mail on Monday, or would you rather I wait until you get the Holiday swap cleared out of your house? At the very latest, I plan to be done next weekend. So, it will be early. Just let me know what you prefer...all up to you! :thumbsup2

[Reddy]

The sword is my fav!!

Yeah!!! that is the one I got set up in SCAL - now to figure out the Title:confused3

Here are two of my groups

Group B:

http://i693.photobucket.com/albums/vv293/cljhanson/IMG_4918.jpg

Question on Small World Group, would you prefer if I mount them to a background paper? I have the apostrophes for each group, if I don't mount on a background paper I will put them in a jewelry bag so they don't get lost.

Group C:

http://i693.photobucket.com/albums/vv293/cljhanson/IMG_4919.jpg

I like it without the background - it is really cute as is

I"m so glad you did a "crow" feather

[mommy2mrb]

so cute Cassey!
happy my idea worked for you :)

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Question on the Stitch's Great Escape group...

Since you can't really get photos in the ride, should I go more general Stitch with it? I was thinking about "Trouble" for the title and then doing a paper piecing maybe or a mat and box. But, Susan, since it's your swap, you have final say. I am just looking for opinions from those in that group.

This is my last group...didn't quite get finished this weekend! But, I hope to mail this week (maybe Friday). Is that ok?

Question on the Stitch's Great Escape group...

Since you can't really get photos in the ride, should I go more general Stitch with it? I was thinking about "Trouble" for the title and then doing a paper piecing maybe or a mat and box. But, Susan, since it's your swap, you have final say. I am just looking for opinions from those in that group.

This is my last group...didn't quite get finished this weekend! But, I hope to mail this week (maybe Friday). Is that ok?

That is my Astro Orbiter group (I had to go check) Trouble I could use, I call my sons Trouble sometimes, Stitch is always good (Stitch good??) for a paper piecing but I'll be happy with a mat

[JJ&JHsmom]

[Reddy]

My last group is done as soon as Minnie's loot is dry
http://i442.photobucket.com/albums/qq145/ReddyRd5/LouisB-day145.jpg
You will either get the blue or the red - I believe these came out of the DVWC jewel tone set if you want to match up for photo mats - I couldn't decide on which phrase to use so I used them all figure the extra could go with the deleted pirate (Jack Sparrow, I think)

Since a couple of you said you like Goofy, I decided to add him them thought it was too much troulbe to delete Minnie so you get her too

http://i442.photobucket.com/albums/qq145/ReddyRd5/LouisB-day147.jpg

[mommy2mrb]

wow Reddy :worship:

[dacky041208]

Hi all...checking in. I've finished 2 groups and am half done my last group.

I do want to share this crazy title piece that I've made for group J. I hope the fact that I only put "Disney's Electrical Parade" is ok! I couldn't figure out how to fit "Main Street" without pulling my hair out. (:rotfl2:)

http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c31/vihasson/DSCN9514.jpg

The white letters don't look it, but they are glittered (martha's sugercube glitter)

I am still working on ideas for the element to go with it...but need to take a break from looking at it for a few days! Those glittered letters were the death of me. :headache:

oh that is perfect - I don't a page with that needs much more
I would be happy with something simple with it - maybe journeling box,photo mat or tag (just 2 not all three) but they don't need much extra on them

hmmm thanks for the ideas Reddy, I def agree about a simple piece to go with it. (I was going to do a Pete's Dragon paper piecing with glitter involved but haven't been able to attempt it but) I like the idea of a tag/journal box....perhaps with a line of those rhinestones as embellishments.

you have me thinking!

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

I haven't fallen off the face of the erath. Sorry for my lack of attention to this thread.

Reddy your box arrived safely.

Erin - -you pieces look great. I like the titles. Mail whenever you are ready.


Check in - -was Monday Feb 13th. If you posted recently, I took that as a check in. If your box is here, don't worry about checking in. If your name is red, you are checked in.

Does anyone need help completing their pieces?

My check in -- I have 2 groups complete, and 5 groups in partial state. No problem completing it on time.

I will be working on the slideshow today - -this swap has some of the best pieces ever.

[JohnsonsLoveDisney]

I've updated the slideshow. I am going to start sorting what I have now and will continue to add to the slideshow.

[123SA]

Update:
I have all but two packages. I havent heard from the one swapper, so I am going to make those pieces so that we have complete groups. I haven't heard from Erin, but we know she has other things to worry about right now.

In the meantime, I will get those pieces made and sort what I can.

[123SA]

Erin's package is here. I'vve finished sorting and I am almost finished packaging it up. I will let you know when it is postal. I don't think I'll make the post office today. Tomorrow I have a class trip - -if it gets finished early enough I'll get to post office.
