Holiday Carol Swap Progress - ? in last post

[angelmom]

Mine are on the computer waiting to be printed.

Nothing new from me on this one. Doing some cropping this weekend, though.

Thanks everyone for checking in.

Just one more to report in, but I'm pretty sure liv4diz only DISes on the weekends.

Here I am and you are right! I usually am usually only on, on the weekends (and sometimes late at night!). After I finished the altered overalls for my neighbors disney trip, I got a really bad cold, 5 days of misery. So, now I am finally finishing my cruise swaps and will start on these. I do have all the lyrics and paper and ideas, I just need to decide on a design and quit changing my mind so I can get the embellishments.

Can wait to get all these carols back!

Checking in...

3 groups are done, one more is cut out and waiting for vellum to dry. DH is going out of town this weekend, so I am hoping to get most of my current swaps done while he is gone and be postal on Monday.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Thanks hope.

I couldn't figure out why I had a check ins within one week, but then realized that the next one that should've been is Thanksgiving.

So after this check in, the next thing I should be hearing is mailing status. Almost there. Can't wait to see all the neat stuff everyone is doing for their songs.

I'm checking in. I printed out the lyrics last night and messed around with the layout so I'm on the way!

I posted this to the wrong thread.

Here's the deal. I really, really love O Holy Night. It is my all-time favorite religious carol and one that I absolutely want to be in my carol book.

I know there are people in my Religious group that are in another group with someone doing the same song but I have wracked my brain trying to come up with a different carol. All of the ones that I like have been taking by others in my group or the first group.

So, I need help. I would like to finish my last group this weekend but I don't know what to do for it. I would like to do O Holy Night but don't know what to do for the rest of y'all that woudl be getting duplicates.

Please help!

I haven't done Silent Night yet for Group 1, if you wanted to do that instead of "Oh, Holy Night" I can switch to something else.

It looks like AWM and liv4diz are the only 2 getting duplicates, maybe ask them if there is a song they wish was included and make that for them, and then make "O, Holy Night" for the other 4?

But you should be able to make what you want.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I posted to the other thread too.

I don't mind the duplicate.
It's rlovew & liv4diz that I am worried about.

Just make the one you signed up for. No need to for you to be stressing about this.

If happypooh, Pretty In Tink, and/or angelmom in Group 6 can switch with rlovew & live4diz in Group 3, than no one should have duplicates. I'm pretty sure it is the only song on there twice.

 

[TPCShauna]

I would be willing to make two separate ones. I could do "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear" for the three of you getting dupes and do "O Holy Night" for the rest.

That way I could use the same background for both.

Is that OK?

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I wish, but rlovew & liv4diz will be getting that song from group 8.
Did you know all your favorite songs would our favorites too?

Nope, just make your song like you planned. I'll do the swapping of swappers.

 

[TPCShauna]

OK. If y'all can think of another song that will work with a "starry nights" background then please let me know.

Thanks again!

 

[TPCShauna]

AWM has been super sweet in helping me figure out which song to do. Here's what I think I'm doing.

I'll do O Holy Night for myself, the two others in my group that aren't getting dupes and rlovew since she wants two copies.

I'll also do "O Beautiful Star of Bethleham" for AWM and liv4diz so they won't get dupes.

I really don't mind. I'm still using the same background paper for both so it's just a matter of formatting two different lyrics.

Let me know if this works!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

liv4diz won't be here until the weekend and you should be done by then, so you do what you planned and I'll work out the rest here later. I have had offers from Group 6 to switch with Group 3, so I can get her a different song if needed.
You ARE TO NOT STRESS about this.

 

[TPCShauna]

You ARE TO NOT STRESS about this.

Since I definitely heard "mommy steel" in that statement, I'll just make all of them the same.

Thank you for taking care of me!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

We you.

You have so much real stuff to be worried about, that this is not to be one of them.

 

[Downrivermama]

AWM I'm almost done with mine! I just have to stay out of craft stores and wanting to change my mind! I like how they look. Most likely will mail them out on Monday.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Can't wait to see them!

 

[angelmom]

Mine are packaged and ready to go. Hopefully I will get to the post office tomorrow.
