Altered Binder Clips - Shipping Info # 97

[PrincessNancy96]

Oooo, I am so stealing the little tag idea. I think that is what I will put my word "family" on. Thanks.


Oh yeah, it looks great.

It's the tag off the celebrations cart!!! You are welcome to it!!!

Nancy, you took my turkey stamp!!! I was gonna use it, but I'm in a different group so I guess I still can. The stamp is one of those G stamps in the Mikes/JoAnn $1 bins!

Yep, that is so one of those G stamps!!!! Two different groups, so definitely can be used again and again and again!!!


Now back to cleaning the kitchen/dining room floors..and just so you know, the loud yell you heard was me screaming @ my kids who came in and walked on my freshly mopped floors!!!!

I bought my binders today from Office Max. $15.99 +tax for 48. Not sure what I'm going to do with 48, but it was cheaper than buying the boxes of 12 for $4.99.

I went specifically to Walmart to grocery shop and wouldn't you know it, they were redoing their scrapbook section. No mini ATG guns. Lots of those disposable red & pink plastic things and glue sticks. I just got groceries.

Theres a mini ATG?!?! OH no something else I need.

Use them for Christmas presents for your teachers/ office staff for the boys!! That is what I am doing this year!!! I plan on being done w/ all of those in one weekend...and I'm even having DD to take to the high school for her Student Council sponsors... I told her and DS that it is okay to take them to the big schools and just ask for them to be put into the teacher's mailboxes w/ a card...that way they won't have to be embarrassed...

Cute idea. They can put the card in the holder so the teachers won't have to guess what it is for.

Going to try the other Walmart today to see if I can find that glue critter. What color is it?

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Mine are blue.. the refils are in a red package..

wait.. I think I have a refill down stairs..and I'll give you the name!

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Ok,
It's in a package w/ a red background... it's made by Ad tech. Called a glue runner. It's blue see thru so you can see the tape cartridge thingy in the machine. It fits right in the palm of your hand.

The machine ran me $3.77 or so..
the refill pack of 2 ran about $2.77 or so...

I cleaned my scrap area yesterday and found an unopened package of refills!

So it's a solid plastic thing? It doesn't really look like a mini atg?
They had those.
I was looking for a little bitty atg.

 

[Lisa]

I used a glue stick to adhere mine.

Nancy, love your Thanksgiving abc.

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Mine doesn't have a mini atg!! They only have these little things!!
Yep, its a plastic machine..

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Nancy, love your Thanksgiving abc.

Thank you!!! I plan to have them all finished today!!!


I probably won't mail for a while though!!!

 

[PrincessNancy96]

My Turkey binder clips are done!

I think I'll go out next week and buy some more clips and start on all the Christmas gifts for the teachers/ office staff/ bus drivers/ my mom/ my sister..

I was going to make a Disney album for my sister and she calls me last night to say "I'm going to Gatlinburg for my honeymoon!".. WHAT??? Well, guess what, she'll get a card and new towels for her wedding! LOL

 

[rlovew]

I bought my clips today along with a few embellishments for them. Does anyone have the cutting dimensions for covering the binder clips?

[BernardandMissBianca]

2 inches across and 3 1/4 inches to wrap it all around. It will sit right up under the hinge for the silver part.

 

[Mickeyteacher]

Hey ladies, If you happen to need an angel with this swap- let me know. Things are a little less crazy right now, so I can help out!

mickeyteacher would you like to take my spots? that would really help me out. i think my plate is completly full right now. and i'd hate to not have mine done and have everyone waiting on me. i'd appreciate it. as much as i want to do it, i just think i'm straight out and don't want to push it right now.

 

[Lisa]

Po3, perfectly understandable, and thank you for bringing it up earlier rather than closer to the deadline of the swap.

MickeyTeacher, thank you for stepping in as an angel. You are one!

Those participating, look for a pm from me with my mailing address. For the return postage, please provide a postage label of $9.80 to cover the flat priority box. If however, you wish to do another form of mailing, pm me, we can discuss. I am not adverse to recycling the box you used to send the binder clips to me, and doing regular postage. Either way I will need to go to the post office. What is critical to me is that we get these out so everyone has their binder clips for Thanksgiving. That is why I opted to use the priority boxes and shipping.

I really didn't want to be a do this, do that type of host, but I do ask that you wrap each clip, with either a paper towel, napkin, tissue, and label with your name, the group, and the category. We don't want other clips knocking into embellishments and bending the paper.

Reminder the deadline to get your clips to me is November 8th. I know life gets in the way sometimes, but if you think your schedule is going to be crazy, then feel free to mail your completed clips earlier. pst, Nancy, if you clips are done, get thy boota to the post office, Missy!

If I missed any information, feel free to ask. If I don't get back to you right away, I am sure a more experienced swapper will step in to lend a hand.

I am seeing some cute clips here, keep up the good work. I can't wait to see them all.

[Lisa]

Po3, don't give it another thought. If there is anything we can do for you, let us know.

We'll play other reindeer games another time.
