I have all my letters cut now and more than half my groups done. I have about another hour of work to finish everything and then bagging and tagging time.

Urrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhhh, Craftroom isn't playing nice with my brand spanking new computer. I've got to wait until PC opens to call and figure this out. Stinks that they are a couple hours behind me!

 

[MazdaUK]

I feel your pain!! Try being 5 hours behind (or more) Good luck with getting it sorted

 

[newtexan]

Got mine in bags ready to mail on saturday.

Yeah, you've got it way worse than I do, but it really drives me batty. Blah blah blah, long story short, I can't install it with my anti-virus software running, but when I turn it off, it won't work either. Eeesh, when are they going to get the online version up and cutting?! I had to tell the tech that it wasn't available online yet. Love it when I know more than they do...

So, no cutting going on now. I am going to have to export them all from the Craftroom to the Gypsy and then load them onto it and then cut from there. Too many steps! But, I'll get it done.

Letters are complete, working on pages now. Should be able to mail by the mail by date.

Jennifer, so sorry you are having issues. Hopefully provocraft will get with the program soon! I have not tried the online version as it still has too many bugs and I have very little patience! Good luck with your cutting.

I am finished and I will be mailing my package tomorrow.

 

[123SA]

Thanks for the check ins!

I have 2 letters left, 2 title + 1, and all of the pages left. I also have all of the bagging and lableing left to do -- I dont know why I stuck myself like that again. It is so much easier to do it as you go. I'd be sweating this if I had to mail, but I will be fine since I have the extra week.

I have the paper pulled for 3 of the pages and I am working on them right now.

Sorry for the delayed check in...have a son on crutches and a grandfather in ICU for 2 weeks. Been pretty crazy here. Anyway, I have been cutting at night and assembling at the hospital during the day. I don't have an exact count right now of what if done in each category but I know I am on schedule. I can give a more detailed list maybe Sunday or Monday when I am able to be home in front of all my stuff. I have been bagging, tagging and putting everything in the box as I go so it's harder without it right in front of me. I don't think I will mail on Tuesday, but will mail so that it gets to NJ on time!

Erin, prayers and pixie dust to you and your family. Scrapping at the hospital sure helps the time go by. My dad was in CCU in Dallas for 16 days about 1 1/2 yrs ago. I think I would have gone crazy if I hadn't had something to keep me occupied. Hope they are both on the road to recovery soon!

Checking in:

I'm finishing up the Halloween group, and then I have 2 more titles +1. I'm going to get these finished on Sunday. Then I have about 7 letter groups cut and bagged with embellishments and about that many more let to cut. I'm planning on cutting the rest this weekend and finishing them on Monday and Tuesday while the girls are in dance class. Everything else is bagged and tagged. If life doesn't get in the way, I'll be postal on Wed.

 

[DisneyBarlans]

Oh no Erin!! Big hugs to you and hope your family has a speedy recovery!!

 

[Mickeyteacher]

I should be able to mail on Monday- I need to finish 2 groups but I have to go throught the thread first to check on color requirements.

Susan - my grandfather was transferred to a larger hospital...about an hour away. I am the only one that is available during the week to drive my grandmother to and from. I am continuing to work but may need the weekend for finishing touches. Would it be ok if I need the extra day or two and mail on Tuesday or Wednesday? I am still trying to get them out on time but wanted to check on things now since I won't be around much this week. I am done with letters and have a few title + 1's left and need to complete assembling pages. It is going quickly since I am in the hospital for hours so that is a help. It keeps me focused! Nothing else really to do so I've been productive. Anyway, just let me know...I'll try to get on tomorrow evening and check in again.

Sheila & Ann - thanks a bunch! It's been crazy...but at least James is off crutches!! MRI negative & back to wrestling hopefully next week.

Erin

At least there is good news for James

Let us know if there is anything we can do to help.

 

[morgansmom2000]

Oh Erin, so sorry to hear that. I'm pretty much done, so if you need me to take anything on, let me know.

(Got 8 of my groups cut and adhered, 6 are embellished, 2 need to be - where are my Halloween brads and eyelets? - and 2 more need to be cut, adhered and embellished, I plan to finish tomorrow. Bagging and tagging as I go ).

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I was going to mail my pages at lunch time, but will wait to hear if I am needed to make pages.

No elements, but am willing to make pages.

Sorry your Grandfather is not well yet Erin. Prayers and Pixie Dust.

 

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Thanks very much guys! Unfortuantely, my grandfather may not get better. He has pancreatic cancer and his kidneys are still not functioning after about 6 rounds of dialysis. Things are piling up for my poor grandparents. It's sad to see my grandmother trying to help him and yet feeling so helpless. They have been married for 60 years and they are all each other knows.

I will definitely be able to finish...I have almost everything done. I am working as quickly as possible. Now that I have to drive the extra time and his room is smaller (making it harder to spread out), it may slow me down a bit. That's why I was thinking a small cushion of the weekend would help. If not, I will try to push through over night while home.

I so feel for you. My dad passed from pancreatic cancer when DS(18) was 3 months old - the very day i went back to work from maternity leave. It is a cruel way to go. the sort of thing that should not be suffered by nice people who lead good lives Hope he is getting plenty of pain meds, its so important. Don't stress over us.
