Circle Journal COMPLETE

[MazdaUK]

You cannot BELIEVE how moany the boys were (esp DS(15) about having only the dining room to sit in - he was off sick from school which didn't help - and only the small TV in our bedroom

I've got all the windows open, a spider plant (to absorb noxious chemicals) and a candle burning to try to get the smell away. But it looks lovely

 

[party of 3]

i hate that new carpet smell. i really makes me sick.

 

[MazdaUK]

Its obviously closing my brain down as I can't remember what I'm doing with my book, and future pages

Is it....

1) I send this book to Rebecca
2) Stephanie sends me tag (and anything else) for the next book
3)I do my pages and tag

But then, do I send pages and tag back to Stephanie, or does she in the meantime send the book onto Rebecca, who will put my pages in before she sends them along I'm sure we went through this but in clearing out my PM box I think I deleted the wrong messages

Either way one or other will have a mini log-jam of a couple of books, but nothing too major

I think having you mail back to me (Rebecca) when you are finished will keep the books moving. That way once Stephanie gets the book finished she can send it on. I have room if I have a small set of books at one time before I continue them with all the page onto Ohana 4. I think this will be easier than having Stephanie hold onto them- I know last time sometimes it took a couple of months for me to get books by the time things were mailed to you and then mailed back to the same person.

I think that's a good way to do it Rebecca. It'll keep things moving and should cause less of a holdup while we wait for the mail to get to Mazda and back from Mazda.

So, my understanding of the process is:

1. I receive the next person's (let's just say it's AWM's) journal
2. I make a copy of the directions for AWM's journal and send it along with the tag (and anything else that needs to go) to Mazda.
3. I then do my page for the AWM's journal
4. When I'm finished, I mail AWM's journal to Rebecca
5. When Mazda is finished with her part of AWM's journal, she will send her pages and the completed tag (and whatever else) to Rebecca.
6. Rebecca receives AWM's book from me and will do her page for it.
7. When Rebecca receives the page and tag for AWM's journal from Mazda, she adds it to AWM's book
8. Rebecca mails AWM's journal onto the next person on the list.

Is that correct?

 

[rlovew]

Yes- that is what we will do. I will hold the journals until Ohana 4 is ready for them or they are due to be sent. So I will normally have 2 albums- the one I am doing and the one Mazda is doing at my house until I pass one on and get the next.

 

[MazdaUK]

I think that should work well - it means I can be doing my layout at the same time as DIT and if I'm a really good girl both my pages and the book should hit rlovew at the same time

I've found a box which is about the right size - the book won't lay flat but I can fill the gaps with bubble wrap and wrap the book too, so it should get there OK.

ETA: on way to PO

 

[DisneyIsTerrific]

Rebecca, are you ready for me to send my book to you? I sent the tag and a copy of the instructions to Mazda yesterday.

 

[morgansmom2000]

[Arizona Rita]

Can I have my favorite Disney dog please?

 

[jennyL]

I have all my supplies and started figuring out my plans last night. Tomorrow is my scrapping day since I have Noah duty today but DH has it tomorrow. hehe.

For a smilie I'd like

Thanks

Rebecca, are you ready for me to send my book to you? I sent the tag and a copy of the instructions to Mazda yesterday.

Send it anytime- I can put it on my scrapbook shelf until I am ready to do it. Mine went out yesterday to Ohana 4 along with her Jar of Whimsy swap. I am guessing I won't do it until I return from MD on Feb 18th but it all depends on how I feel when I get it.

Rebecca

 

[DisneyIsTerrific]

This smilie for me!

Rebecca, I'll let you know when I get my book in the mail to you. It'll be sometime at the beginning of the week.
