Holiday Carol Swap Progress, Mail by November 29

link to sign ups - http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1612923
Check in every two weeks please. I will NOT be requesting angels for this swap. If we need to, I will swap out amongst the rest to be sure you do not receive duplicate songs back.

Make enough for every person in your group. Completed carols must be 8 ½” x 5 ½”.

Use cardstock and layer at least once plus one embellishment. You can embellish any way you choose, but be C-R-E-A-T-I-V-E!!!

SENDING & RECEIVING: Mail date is no later than November 29, 2007. Mail all the copies of the carols you do. You will get one of yours back. These must be in mail, Priority with DC, by November 29th. I will mail out all swaps on December 5, 2007.

Label your carols with your Dis name, real name, and group number. Put your carols in a plastic bag larger than the carols. Individual zip bags will leave lines on the carols if they are too small. I will PM you the shipping address after posting the progress thread. If you choose priority shipping, I will get priority envelopes at the post office and then do the priority-shipping label online to get free delivery confirmation for you. So send a check, stamp, or cash (if you prefer) for $4.60. Please don’t send metered or click-it/ship-it postage – some hostesses have had issues with these.

Please send me your contact information, even if you have sent it before. I will be cutting and pasting into a Word Doc to make printing USPS labels easier. I will send you mine as a reply.

Please check to be sure I have all your groups listed properly.

Have address everyone

Checking in - bought heaps of paper and then decided I needed to organize abit so bought some 12x12 clear boxes and stacking trays...and of course I needed to get Opposites attact...hey it's sweetest day and I'm treating myself after a really tough week! (shhhh don't tell my DH!) Am so excited about this swap!

 

[KatDisney]

Checking in bought my cart, got my Lyrics ready to print, found my paper I am good to go

 

[hopemax]

I have the "Deck the Halls" and "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" stuff all done. My other groups are still percolating. I went out to look for stuff, but couldn't find what I wanted. I need to borrow Kat's Animal Kingdom cart to cut sheep.

 

[KatDisney]

heheh you can borrow it anytime ya wanna.. I so have got to find a way to get that paper dolls cart..

 

[MazdaUK]

I've got my lyrics all ready to print (did a test last night) and sorted some paper - and its an English paper so it will be new to you all! I've finally found a company that produces decent stuff in the UK! Trouble is they only have about 3 lines yet

PM sent

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Thanks for checking in.

Remember to PM me your mailing address.

hopemax, pretty in tink is happy to accept the spot in group 8. That leaves you five groups to do.

 

[hopemax]

Okay, I think 5 groups is plenty

 

[vanyel]

Checking in but haven't started yet. I looked at paper at HL Friday and didn't see anything that jumped out at me as being perfect but I did find several embellishments that I might get.

AWM - will pm my address soon.

 

[liv4diz]

Checking in here. . .so excited to see I got two more groups!
I'll let you know later tonight what songs I'll do.

Glad to hear you can swap amongst the groups, as I'll be getting two O Holy Night and two Frosty the Snowman back. Not a big deal, cause I would find a use for them, but nice if I get all different songs! I know you all who have been swapping/hosting for a while probably have a system down, but it seems amazing to me that you can host and remain sane!

Going to PM you my address.

Thanks,
Paulette

I am checking in after a great weekend at Disney. I will get back to you on my carol for the last group. I already choose out a few of my embellishments but I still have to find paper and everything else. I will be putting these on the back burner for a little while since I am still finishing up a few other swaps.

Hey, my bad, I shouldn't have signed up for Frosty. I changed to Blue Christmas. Got that song stuck in my head now. I've got some great blue paper to use for this.

 

[pretty in tink]

checking in-I was wondering if I could do Mele Kalikimaka for the secular group & O Come, O Come, Emmanuel for the religious group? and I am still debating the mixed group, but was leaning towards The Holly and The Ivy or perhaps something else. I'll send a pm right now with mailing info, too. Once again, thanks for the extra spot!

Sounds good to me. I'll go update the sign ups.

 

[tiggermei]

Hello. Checking in. Got the lyrics down and think I've got it so that I can start designing. Two are half designed and bought some paper the other day. I am so excited for this one!

 

[TPCShauna]

I just PMd my info and responded regarding O Holy Night.

It's the only religious song I really like so I'll have to think on a replacement. I'll let y'all know.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I'd switch a secular spot for your religious one, but I'm already in that group. I really don't need two of each of songs.

I was just trying to find a way to keep rlovew & liv4diz from getting dulicates of the song.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Hi!
Today is the first check in.
Please make sure I have all your groups correct and that you have sent me you mailing info.

Thanks!!

 

[liv4diz]

Checking in! Other than getting the lyrics together, I haven't done much but can't wait to get started.

I need to finish my cruise swaps before I start this one and I pushed the cruise aside to alter overalls for a neighbor's two little girls for their first and last family trip to Disney World (her husband has terminal cancer at 37 ).

The overalls will be done today and the cruise swaps by the weekend, so I be working on this swap next week.

That is so sad. Bless their poor hearts. I hope they have the best trip possible.

I'm checking in. I'm here and I'm still trying to find a different carol for the religious group. I have the lyrics for the other two typed out.
