Disney Cruise Swap Progress Thread - Postal back to you on 8/1!!!

[Michellepooh]

Bumping us up!

These are due on Saturday!!! If you don't think you will be finished on time, please let me know. I have an angel who is willing to step in if necessary.

Thanks again to all of you for being such a great group of swappers!

 

[Tigger1221]

I am done with my pirate group and need to finish the pages. Will have no problem getting done on time.

 

[Michellepooh]

Thanks for checking in, Tigger1221!

 

[hopemax]

I'm done with one group, and my other group should be done today.

 

[Michellepooh]

Thanks, Hope. Can't wait to see what you've made for this one!

 

[hopemax]

I hope you won't be disappointed, but this is more of an average swap for me. I wanted to do more, but I've had a stupid cold hanging on for the last 2 weeks, and with the ABC swap, well, no fancy paper piecings in this one. I was supposed to get this done this weekend, but I spent most of Sunday sleeping.

 

[tinkryansmom]

Hang in there everyone! My elements should be finished tomorrow. We survived DD 1st birthday but now are cramming for our Disney Cruise this Friday.

I always think I am so organized right up until I realize I am so far behind...

Fear not - I have mine started and will get them in the mail on Thursday!

Feel better hopemax!!

 

[Michellepooh]

That stinks that you haven't been feeling well, Hope. It seems like you've been sick for a while now. I'm sure whatever you've made will be gorgeous. Hope you feel better soon.

Tinkryansmom - I am so jealous you are going on your cruise on Saturday!!! Do you have room for a very pregnant woman in your suitcase?

 

[tinkryansmom]

hmmm...suitcase no. But if I move some things to the duffle bag maybe!!

 

[hopemax]

Postal

Okay, so I leave my swaps on the livingroom floor while we eat dinner. I plan to bag them up after we ate. I come into the livingroom to find my dog eating them!!!!!! Luckily it's just 2 small pieces of my tags. I'm in the process of remaking the damaged parts, but they'll have to be slightly different from the others. I'm out of DCL logos that I was using. No one but Michellepooh will realize they aren't the same, but just wanted to offer some explaination as to why they all aren't identical. Plan to have them to the post office in the morning! Anyone want a dog????? I'll add her to the swap box if I have any takers?!!

tinkryansmom - Have a fabulous cruise!! We are counting down the days until our cruise and WDW trip next month. Say hi to Captain Mickey for us!

 

[Michellepooh]

Oh no, Mickey'sfriend!!! At least he/she didn't eat everything!!!!

 

[Mickey'sfriend]

Yes, lucky for her she only chewed up the corners of 2 small tags. My swap went postal this morning. (minus the dog!) Can't wait to see what everyone created!!

 

[Michellepooh]

Thanks for not mailing the dog, Mickey'sfriend. I'm sure my 2 cats would have had serious objections to that one.

 

[tinkryansmom]

Mickey'sFriend - thank you! We hope to have a great time and we will say hi to Mickey for you.

It's late here in CA and we are finalizing the weight of our suitcases. I too had issues with being short certain embellishments so MichellePooh you will notice not all my elements are exactly identical. But I think they came out OK.

Mine will be postal priority mail in the morning.

MichellePooh - as a new swapper if anything in my packets are not right or up to snuff can you please PM me. I would appreciate the feedback so I can continue to swap and get it right!

I am very excited about this DCL swap!! And I cannot wait to see what everyone came up with!!

 

[Michellepooh]

Tinkryansmom - I'm sure your items are super!! Don't worry if everything isn't identical. All that matters is that they are of comparable quality. Many of us try to use up our stash of "stuff" so sometimes different embellishments or papers get used. Have a fabulous cruise!!!!

 

[Michellepooh]

I got packages today from Hopemax and Faith&Hope. Awesome work, ladies. Really, I loved everything! Hope - those palm tree brads are adorable. I've never seen those before. Faith&Hope - Everything was gorgeous! I really like the thank you matchbooks, what an adorable idea!!!

We're getting close, ladies!

 

[hopemax]

Yeah, I found them at the LSS. They are from Creative Imaginations. I even thought the coconuts almost make a hidden Mickey.

 

[Michellepooh]

Mickey'sfriend- your package arrived today. Your tags are really cute, I especially like the DCL logo. Thank you also for the bottlecaps. They are very cute!!

Only a couple more packages, hopefully they will arrive on Monday and I can start swapping them out.

 

[Tigger1221]

Mine is postal! On my layouts the two frames are only on with repositionable adhesive and a tiny bit of permanat at the bottom, so you can put pictures behind them.
