So sad, things like that make me cry

All printed out, just waiting for some ink and stickles (which have been shipped ) to assemble

Checking in. I am going to work on these next week.

I caved and got a zutter...and then went to staples and got the binder too! (Now you all need to tell me to stop getting anymore scrapbook supplies!) I do like the binder quite a bit and I bought the page protectors...I think it will hold up to more abuse than a homemade spiral type album made of chipboard. Also found out that we have Microsoft works so I don't need to go out and buy Microsoft office -

about not having to spend $$ on Microsoft Office. That is more you can spend on scrapbook goodies.

Thank for checking in.

Just checking in, also. I have 5 out of 6 done for one group-I ran out of paper for it so I bought more last night and will finish the 6th one today at work. Then I have paper, embellishments, and a printed carol that I will also work on today at work (have I mentioned how I love my job?!) But for my 3rd carol, I'm at a loss so far, still trying to figure out how I want to do it, but it will be done in time!

I'm done! I had a bit of a stress with my Stickles but they look OK now they've dried - you might even think that's how I intended them to turn out If I leave the package lying around, DH might post for me on Wednesday Otherwise I'm heading for the PO on Friday

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I have my embellishments, paper and songs typed. Wouldn't you know it, the printer is out of ink. So I have to wait until DH buys some new ink before I can start.

I got some of the embellishments for them at the store the other day but I haven't started I have a few others to get done first.

I saw one of pretty in tink's Mele Kalikimaka pages. As she would say "it's stinkin cute"! I told her she should make one for me too. Sorry, I couldn't join this swap, rather overwhelmed with life right now. At least I'll get to see some of everyone's work when I see pretty in tink's pages.

Got the lyrics together and all cute but when I sent it to myself at home, the fonts were all messed up. Oh well. Fixed it. Got some paper. That's it so far.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Thanks everyone who has checked in and sent me your address.
I'll be PM'ing downrivermama and then we can be all caught up.

 

[Downrivermama]

I'm here! Went away for the weekend and now trying to get my Box Tops 4 Education packed up to send off! Playing around with fonts and should make progress this weekend.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I've been saving those thinks since Christmas of last year. Sent in over a 100 of those things and STILL my youngest's grade is only in fourth place. Third grade has a 1000 more box tops than first grade-First & second place respectively. Whew, no way I am eating that much cereal or buscuits.


Thanks everyone for checking in and sending me your addresses. I think this will be such a pretty swap.

 

[MazdaUK]

Mine are postal Hope they get there safe! I put in extra $$ as you might need to repack with the album and all.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I will keep my eyes open for them.

 

[pretty in tink]

two down, one to go. Unfortunately my printer is all messed up and they have to send me a new one which won't be here until Wednesday or Friday of this week-my old one is only a few months old and already it's broken So it'll be a week or so until I can get started on my last one

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Understand pretty in tink. Trying to refigure my ideas due to printer issues. I can only print in black or purples. DH doesn't want to spend $50 in ink on this printer and wait to get a new one. Doesn't he understand about swaps??
Anyway, I'll just have to do the special stuff outside of the actual lyrics.

 

[vanyel]

I bought several different papers last week to mess with and decided which ones I wanted to use so went back and got the rest of the paper yesterday.

I am on hold until I buy a new black printer cartridge but that'll be in the next few days. Can you believe I had the old one in my purse and drove past Staples yesterday but forgot to stop? Dumb!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I can top that.
I've gone to the post office and then realized I left all the packages on the counter.
