Mine are postal. DC 03070020000046225859 I also sent way too much money. (It was all that I had... Sorry ) Just send the change (bills only, of course...) with the return... Thanks for hosting! This one was fun.

Mickster, got yours yesterday! They look great! Thanks for the goodie!!!! DBF said that everyone was to write on the packages NO KNOCKING ON THE DOOR!!!! I guess the mailman woke him up yesterday and he was NOT HAPPY!!!! He said that these swaps just had to stop!!! Yeah right!!! I just called him Forest Grump!!!! He actually called me at work yesterday to tell me all this! He had me in stiches laughing!!! Oh man it was funny!!!! Well, they arrived safe and sound and they are wicked cute. Thanks and I am glad you had fun making them.

Making mental note: Add to front of box: "RI Mailman: DO NOT KNOCK AT THE DOOR FOUND AT THIS ADDRESS: GRUMP WILL ANSWER DOOR AND WILL NOT BE HAPPY!"

Well.....Why don't you tell him that HE should put a note on the door advising the mail carrier not to knock on the door?!! LOL!! I know my carrier rings the doorbell when she leaves a package.....and the troops let me know the bell is ringing, too! But, I never sleep so it doesn't matter.

I told DH that if I get one more solicator this summer.. I'm putting a shocker on my door.. so when we see them coming we can turn it on! LOL
No, in all seriousness, we have had 2 solicators a day one week this summer..and I was going nuts... didn't want to take no for an answer...and was harrassing the neighbors who are all elderly... so I called the police on him.. I'm going to have to invest in that NO Solicator sign... I might as well by them for the neighbors too!

One Princess has pages & tags done. Putting her to the bag now.
Other Princess has pages cut.

How are you all wrapping/packaging them for mailing?

 

[PrincessNancy96]

I wrapped each one individually for mailing.. and than put the 3 in a gallon baggie...
now back to the swaps...

 

[New England Eeyore]

I'm trying to finish up M&F today - all the pages are done, I just have to do two more tag inserts and the covers. I'm really ready for these to be done and out of my house! I need to take a break, but if I don't finish tonight they HAVE to be done tomorrow morning.

Faerie - you have saved my life with the Cricut reset tip - I've been using it all day and no more problems loading paper! Thank you SOOOO much!!

 

[PrincessNancy96]

I'm still plugging away on my Epcot ones.. I come up here to check a photo of the Outpost..and I go back downstairs...having FORGOT to look at the photo for inspiration! Hello, that is why I came up here..
I too will be glad to finish these.. while they are simple.. I find myself over analyzing and making sketches for larger layouts..and can't scale down my design..so I have to start from scratch yet again..
And my one idea for Mexico when to heck and a handbasket..

I'm glad it worked for you!

 

[KatDisney]

still plugging away. I will have them both done by the end of the weekend and mailed no later than Monday with all the other swaps I'm finishing up on. At least that is my goal.

[maria34a]

Thanks for checking in everyone!!! I also hope to finish everything this week, I am on vacation and hopefully I will have at least one day to play!!!

Nancy, that would be so funny if you put that on your package!!!! He would get such a kick out of that!!!! He works third shift, so that is why he sleeps all day, but I just thought it was very funny what he said when he called me!!!

 

[YodasMom]

I'll be working on these later this weekend and next week! Just too many swaps to do, plus perfect summer weather going on!

 

[New England Eeyore]

So I didn't get these done this morning - I need more Yellow Bazzil for the covers. Once I get that, I just need to adhere and assemble everything. Still shooting for a mail date of Tuesday.

 

[KatDisney]

I finished one of my books last night. I can happily say I am VERY proud of this one. It turned out preety darn good if I do say so myself..lol.. Yup, and I do. I will be finishing the other one tonight as I wait to go to Wal-Mart to pick up my Harry potter book at midnight!!!! Then Im going to stay up all night reading.

 

[Faerie]

Mine are done and I'll have DBF package them and bring them to the post office tomorrow for me while I'm reading Harry

 

[YodasMom]

as I wait to go to Wal-Mart to pick up my Harry potter book at midnight!!!! Then Im going to stay up all night reading.

Now, do you think I will make it, not hearing about the ending of the book before I get time to read it?....It may take a year or two before I get the time!!

 

[KatDisney]

I am going to "try" to not read the last chapter first it's gonna be hard though.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

All bags are done (except for PN96's special one, but I figure have until I mail out her other swaps to get that one done) and just need to wrapped, bagged and packaged. Hope to get them in the mail on Monday.

Now, don't leak the ending!! LOL!! Don't worry, apparently it's already been leaked online, but I'm not looking!
