[morgansmom2000]

Just checking in...haven't started yet...but I did some major shopping today!!!

And - should be able to start on things this week!!!

Thanks for the update!

Another question from the newbie:

Once I've got my pieces made, do I need to attach the sets to anything? And how do you go about attaching them (as the examples shown)? Or do I just put my 3 sets of Pooh into 3 little bags and 3 sets of Cindy into another 3 bags? Then pack them up and send them out.

I re-read the instructions and I guess I am just a little unclear on how to group them together as a set?

While I'm online, I'll check in too. My shopping is done and sorted out, now I just have to get to work. I'll be at a crop on Saturday, so my pieces should be done no later than July 18th and mailed out within a few days after that.

I hope you will post photos. I was in Alaska and missed signups. Maybe if you have this again I can play then.

Meg, you just need to put your "sets" into separate smaller baggies and then put all those baggies into a bigger baggie. If you don't have small baggies, you can use envelopes. Please label them with your Disname, the group number or letter and your real name.

The packaging I quoted for the samples is adorable, but that's not necessary!

Mine are done and should be mailed out by the weekend.

Thanks for letting me know!

I sure will post photos, everyone who didn't join is going to be sooooo jealous

MichellePooh's arrived today! Everything looks great! Thank you for my goodies!

 

[Michellepooh]

I hope they were OK. I've never made card candy before.

 

[morgansmom2000]

They look perfect to me!

Did my Pink Group...

It looks brown in the scan, but it's pink, black and white

They look lovely

My red card candy is done! Just the Christmas to go...

My apologies to one in the color group. I made a (REALLY DUMB) measuring mistake. So - one of the candies is a little bit smaller than the others. UGGH. It looks fine - and unless you would see them side-by-side, you wouldn't notice...Just thought I would mention it, when photos get posted.

 

[morgansmom2000]

No worries, we're all human

 

[clh2]

Officially postal!!!

I took pics before I sent them out...would you like me to post (won't be 'til later today though)

 

[morgansmom2000]

Sure! I'd love to get a sneak preview. No rush though

Christmas card candy

The pictures are horrid...but it is the best I can do with my limited photography skills!

 

[morgansmom2000]

Oooooh, they're purty!

 

[MazdaUK]

I love those

I mailed mine out this morning. Sorry, I cannot post photos - someone broke into DH's car last week and stole our camera and GPS.

It bothers me that there are pics of my girls on the camera more than the actual loss of the stuff. First pics of DD rock climbing at camp - can't get those back!

Anyway, I can't post the photos, but this was my first swap ever and I really like the Pooh & Cinderella pieces that I made. I hope everyone else likes them too. Can't wait to see what everyone else made!

Oh, Meg, I'm sorry to hear about your camera. Our house was broken into a few years ago and they stole my camera (and DH's games), I was really upset about the film in the camera. I'd rather they just left the film and took the camera! I'll let you know when they get here, I'll take pics!
