[Mickster]

Mickster - your items arrived right before I left for the reunion. I took photos and updated the slide shows with your items. They are really cute. How did you make the tracks for the bike group and what is that silver stuff?

I'm so glad you knew they were bike tracks! The were the wheels from one of DS's army trucks... The silver stuff is just silver paper that I got a ACM and it has a linen texture.

I am so happy they made it to you! Phew...

Finished my last group.

Pictures are all current to now. Forgot to take the photo of bearbear's girl scouts, so that is there too.

I've used Action Man boots as a footprint stamp before ;-) The toybox is full of all sorts of usefull things

 

[Mickster]

Ain't that the truth? I was looking for good boots to use as hiking prints, but was unable to find anything suitable...

 

[MazdaUK]

If you want an action man boot let me know (but check any GI Joe's you have around first ;-) ). DS(8) is really not that fussed with them, so i can sneak another one out without anyone noticing

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

believen, DisneyIsTerrific, TinkerBean, SusieStone and MichellePooh - your boxes arrived!

I'll be seeing MickeyTeacher tomorrow and will have her items then. Just need to hear from cococolamom that her items were postal and I start swapping and sending back.

I will finish cleaning up my swap room today and will open and photograph one box at time.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I have MickeyTeacher's items.

Still waiting to hear from cococolamom.

If her things aren't here by Friday, I will swap out without them.

 

[Michellepooh]

Glad they arrived safely!

how was your day with mickey teacher?? did you guys have fun?? hope so.
do we think cococolamom will be late?? has she not checked in.
hope all is ok with her.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

It was so much fun at the Museum with MickeyTeacher today. My Little Bit and her son got along great. And they didn't even seem to mind the little sister hanging with them.

cococolamom was going to be camping, but I thought she was mailing either before going or while there. I am hoping that her things will be here on Friday. That was the original due date so I won't be thinking anything about angels or sending back doubles until then.

 

[party of 3]

glad you had fun at the museum. and the boys got along great. that's always good too!!!
i can't wait to see everything. i bet it all looks great!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

It all looks great in person. Much better than it photographs. There isn't one thing I wouldn't use and whole bunch of "I wish I was in that group".
So if you are missing your own back, I didn't take it.

JK

 

[DisneyIsTerrific]

Everything I've seen in the slide shows looks great. And, since they always look even better in person they are going to be spectacular when we get them!!!!! I really enjoyed creating the elements for this swap, it was a lot of fun!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I have all but two groups swapped out amongst themselves. If cococolamom's things don't arrive Friday, I will make the spots myself and get those out on Saturday. I will package up the rest of them tonight and tomorrow. Once this goes away. I don't want to make any mistakes boxing things up.

I also need to go back through the thread later and through the notes with the postage to see who wants them now and who was waiting for the t'n't swap.

I can't believe how great all this stuff looks.

 

[DisneyIsTerrific]

Fingers crossed that Cococolamom's things arrive by Friday!!!! I can't wait to get this back. Everything in the slide show looks fantastic.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Oh, I forgot to tell you.
I didn't take photos of MickeyTeacher's pool items. Each one is custom made to the swapper.

 

[123SA]

I asked for my stuff to wait. However, if you want them out of the house, send them and I'll get more postage to you. (I know the feeling of boxes piling up, and my basement belongings are where they belong -- in the basement! You must be drowning in stuff.)

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

It is really amazing just how much "stuff" one accumulates.
But it is okay. I will be boxing up everything in boxes big enough to hold both swaps (3 for MichellePooh) and then using painters tape to hold them closed. These will then go on the bookshelf that is now in my bedroom. Might as well put it to good - temporary - use. Last thing I want to do is get used to more horizontal space in my bedroom. If it is a flat surface, I've got something stored on it.
I just don't want to store something that isn't supposed to be stored and then have a sad swapper.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Fingers crossed that Cococolamom's things arrive by Friday!!!! I can't wait to get this back. Everything in the slide show looks fantastic.

Can I forget to give you back your Playground set and substitute any one of mine you would like?

PS-THANK YOU so much for the clipboard. Is it safe to use it as is for WDW or should I spray a protective finish on it?
