[KatDisney]

oh oh if you need an extra hand I would love to do Mary did you know in Group 8

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

It's yours!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Okay guys, I'm off to Hobby Lobby to get some special paper for this swap.

Hope to see lots more sign ups when I get back.

 

[KatDisney]

YAY! thanks I totally love the comedian who wrote that song. It also is just so touching and beautiful. I now will have to do something special for it. Off to Hobby Lobby this evening

 

[MazdaUK]

For "here comes Santa Claus" I always think of the remake of Stepford Wives, so if anyone does that they must include pine cones

 

[happypooh]

He is born, the divine Christ Child - Il est ne -for group 8 please....I love that one!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

If angelmom and pretty in tink want one more spot each in Group 8, I can fill up all the other spots with those who volunteered to take more places.

I'll come back later to check and close out the sign ups and set up the progress thread.

PS very good trip at Hobby Lobby. They had their Christmas color textured cardstock 1/2 off. Also picked up some great Cloud 9 paper at Cord Camera Scrapbook Studios.

 

[angelmom]

I will take Santa Clause is coming to town in group 8 and switch to 12 days of Christmas (correct name?) for group 7 instead of jingle bells, and Go tell it on the Mountain for group 6 instead of silent night, I wasn't thinking when I posted before and doubled up on songs. Darn, now mine will not be able to jingle!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

12 Days of Christmas is a really long song. It's okay with me, just wanted to warn you.
If you wanted jingling bells, what about Jingle Bell Rock? That is one I know like the first two lines and everything gets hummed.

 

[KatDisney]

well I did it I went and bought the Christmas Cheer cart! It's gonna be so much fun to play with

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

You go Girl!!
It is a fun cart. I used it and the Mickey head Icon to make my ornaments for your swap.

 

[hopemax]

Yay!

I may have to bring some paper with me on sort day.

 

[KatDisney]

lol ya DH said well let me see what my hard earned money bought

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Okay, progress thread is up.
I will be PMing pretty in tink to give her first right of refusal for a spot in group 8, otherwise it will be going to hopemax. I have you both listed as having that spot and will update it as soon as I know.

Be sure to let me know your songs so I can update the OP on this thread.

 

[hopemax]

Sounds

 

[hopemax]

For Group 7, I'll do "Christmas Time is Here" from the Charlie Brown Christmas Special.

 

[happypooh]

which way do we mount the carol? with the 8.5 side or the 5.5 side horizontal??

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

It can be either/or, depending upon your length of lyrics and how you wish to embellish.

Most of the recipes were vertical with 8-1/2 being the length.

I don't think it matters with this book. You will be singing from it, so you can turn it as needed.

I haven't decided how I will layout mine yet. It'll be harder for me to break the vertical mindset. But I will try!!

 

[angelmom]

After looking at lyrics on a song site, I will change the 12 days of Christmas to Jingle Bell Rock in Group 7. thanks again!

 

[happypooh]

Are the albums vertical or horizontal? I just want to be able to put the song book on my piano and flip the pages as needed and not have to take the page protectors out and flip them on their side..if that makes any sense! I did see one album at our LSS which was horizontal 9x6..are the albums at staples different? I don't think we have Hobby Lobby in michigan or at least I haven't seen one. I didn't see any albums at Michaels today that were that size...only 8x8...I'm wondering if I should get a zutter and try and hand cut an album...any one have one of those?? Are they worth it? Sorry for being abit off topic but I want to figure this out before I start sorting out layouts for this swap.
