Holiday Carol Swap Sign Ups Closed

[MazdaUK]

After looking at lyrics on a song site, I will change the 12 days of Christmas

Yeah, I did that too Its long enough to fill a book on its own

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I bought a few of the albums yesterday because they were on sale.
Will take photos to show you what these look like.
HL puts their stuff on sale on a regular basis. I'd be happy to part with some of what I have if it does't go on sale to pick some up for you guys before hand.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Here is what the ones I have look like. The spine is on the short side.

and here it is with the two different layouts.

I would like to do "It came upon a midnight clear" for group 8, if that would be alright. Thanks!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

It sure would be okay.
I'll go update the OP.

Finally catching up after a long weekend of Ga Tech football/homecoming! My DFIL and DH are Tech Alum and now DS and DD are freshmen there.

I'll do "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" for group 7 and . . .now I can't decide. Let me see how long "I Said" is and I'll post again. (I now have time to play on the computer!).

OK, I'll do "The Friendly Beasts" (sorry, we call it the "I Said" song) for group 8.

Thanks,
Paulette

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Got it!

 

[angelmom]

Are we doing these a specific way-up and down or sideways?

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Nobody has said they need it be a certain way, so go with what works best with your lyrics and embellishments.

I don't have any pictures but the books from Staples are the opposite-the spine is on the longer side. That being said, because they are songs they would work either direction in either book

 

[MazdaUK]

The Staples ones are more like a ring binder (perhaps because they are a ring binder ) and they have a clear cover over a white cover so you can slide in a decorative cover (and spine if you can be bothered )

I've got two wth recipes so it will be nice to have the songs in a different format Stop me tring to sing "CRT potatoes"

 

[happypooh]

Given the format of the book I'll be trying to do horizontal lo's so the book will rest on my piano or music stand or floor while we sing! Now have to figure out how to print in columns on wordpad!

 

[MazdaUK]

I'm afraid mine are vertical as they've literally just printed out

I did try horizontal for one but couldn't get it to fit

 

[hopemax]

The 2 I've done already are both vertical.

 

[happypooh]

Hmm...thinking about this more maybe I should do vertical too...I'm going to try and get a zutter I think and make my own book....maybe...

Staples has the binder type holder that is meant for vertical. I've not seen it, but some one else said they have a pocket on the cover to slip in a pretty cover paper.

 

[pretty in tink]

The one from staples is exactly like the 3 ring school binders with the clear plastic cover over the regular cover, only the book is the smaller size. Which is nice for making a special cover

hmm... maybe this will work, if it doesn't i'll take it out, it's the link (i hope) to the staples one, the binder pictured is a the regular size binder, so it looks bigger than what it really is

well it works if you copy and paste the link, hope this helps anybody still confused on the staples kind, dh lost the camera so i can't post pics of mine...

 

[rlovew]

I am trying to decide between-

Let There be Peace on Earth
I Want a Hippopotamuas for Christmas
and
All I want for Christmas is my 2 front Teeth

I think I am going out to the store today- if DH decides to wake up from his nap so if I find the perfect embellishment or paper then it will make my decision easy otherwise I will have to think some more about what would be the cutest.
