Holiday Carol Swap Progress - ? in last post

[AlexWyattMommy]

Just have two more of my own to make. Should have them done tomorrow.

I understand about more important things than the PO.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Mine are all done. Just need to wrap them up and label them.

Hope to hear about the rest of the mailings this week.

DS(8) asked if we could "go out and ask people to give us money for singing" when they arrive I explained people generally go out in aid of a charity or something, but promised that if the Rotary Christmas float comes round this year he can get the book out and join in. He is very excited, as he's just rehearsing for his school Christmas production. He has a very traditional role -he's a carrot Anyone ever tried to get orange tights? I ended up sewng crepe paper round a pair of joggers.

Sorry for not updating recently. Almost finished -- will finish tonight or Tuesday (worst case). These will go out on time. I can't wait to get them back.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Thanks okay, I knew you were busy and that you wouldn't forget us.

The ones that have come in are REALLY awesome and you will not be disappointed.

Can't wait to see the rest of them myself. I will be taking pictures of them before sending.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Hope, yours arrived today. They look great. And THANK YOU for the Rafiki paper piecing. I really coveted him.


Everyone else who still needs to mail - Remember - They must be Priority with DC. Please PM me your DC # after you mail.

Finally home from Thanksgiving at grandma's and getting the two older kids back to college!

AWM: Thanks for the kind words, glad you like what I made. And, of course I will swap my I Saw Mommy for your Winter Wonderland (heck, if you hadn't hosted this swap, I wouldn't have made any carols or be getting any! )

Oh, I haven't forgotten about your hostess gift. Didn't get to work on it at grandma's but I'll get busy tomorrow and probably mail it Wed.

Thanks again for hosting,
Paulette

Finally finished today. I had only gotten embellies for five for the two secular ones I was in --- make those mine back to me. I'll get more but I couldn't get them today and don't want to mail late. PLEASE??? Thank you. I'll send the DC tomorrow.

Make sure to mark them with "Send back to me" and it'll be done. I've done that lots myself. If something gets glued a little crooked or the cut looks off, I'll have the hostess send me that one back. So it's no problem.

The package is in the mail. DC # 0306 1070 0005 6686 5850.

I ran into a little problem and had to do a bit of re-gluing. I'm hoping they're ok. If it hadn't been for that, they would have been mailed Monday. I was so excited that I finished early this time too.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Today is Mail Day.

I will be sending PMs to those who have not already indicated that they are mailing today.

Please be sure to post or PM the DC number when you mail.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Kat, yours arrived today. Thanks for the cute stickers. My youngest has already claimed the dog ones. "This looks like Jake, This looks like Sophie, This looks like Lady" All my MIL strays that she can't help but keep.

 

[TPCShauna]

Mine are postal.

I just realized that the lyrics to Il est Ne are different in english than french! Despite my poor linguistic skills in french (hey it's been over 20 years since I did it in school - wow I am old!) it's pretty obvious that what you'll be singing in English is not what is written in French - hope you don't mind! Plus on the website that I got the song from there are only 3 verses in english but 4 in french...if anyone wants that 4th verse I can post it but I really am loathe to reprint everything again and redo the cards as it would delay posting. Sorry all....from a sad old not so happypooh who is only eating rice as DD is allergic to everything.....I've a rumbly in my tumbly.....

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Thanks Shauna, I'll update the post in a minute.

Did you know that the words for Frère Jacques are not the same for English and French? They are close, but in a different order.

So as long as the words work for the tune, they should work for anyone trying to sing in both languages.

I am soo sorry that a smakrel of honey won't help the rumbly in your tumbly.

 

[MazdaUK]

Poor happypooh (and DD). I HATE rice! I suppose its no comfort that you won't get stuck in any doors while out visiting

 

[tiggermei]

Didn't get to post last night after I went to PO. Here's the DC

Thanks for hosting. These will be beautiful.

 

[happypooh]

Mine are postal today with DC..I'll post the number later...I wrapped in Press and seal with the sticky stuff out as I was worried that the sticky stuff might not be acid free so it may be a little tacky on the outside...don't freak out!
And actually I may be able to eat honey...we haven't tested DD for bees yet...hey everyone guess what I'm eating today ~ more yummy rice!!!
