MK RIDE Swap Progress/Mailing Thread-7/20--Due date is TODAY!!

[StitchIsOurHero]

You all are on the ball! I have my ideas, but that's it! rlovew--I'll be on the lookout for yours. I won't get them, though, until after vacation b/c we won't get our mail until June 10th. I'll mark it, though, on the first post just as soon as I get it! I can't wait!

Have a great Tuesday evening, everyone!

Hi everyone! I'm sorry I've been MIA for a while! 9 days at WDW, and then recovering from the vacation have about done me in! What a problem to have, though, right???

I have gotten several Ride swap items back already, and they look great! You all are going to love the items from this swap! It's funny to think that all around the world, really, we are going to have the same items in our books--that's pretty cool! Ok, enough guidance counselor digression. . .(job hazard, sorry!)

rlovew & fairyauntmother--I got your stuff! They are terrific! We did breakfast with Pooh at Crystal Palace on this trip, and we rode the WDW Railroad, so I am looking forward to using all of the cool swap stuff I have!

Everyone have a terrific rest of the week!

I've got most of my supplies but I will start them after I finish Epcot. Chille gave me hers already.

Thanks Nancy for saying ours are together, I totally forgot.

Hey! That's the job of your personal assistant!!! I'm holding up my end of the job... you held yours up yesterday for me!!!!

With just a month from tomorrow left until our due date, I just wanted to give this a little BUMP to check in with everyone! I am not done with mine, but I hope to finish them as soon as summer school is over!

How is everyone else doing??

 

[momx3boys]

Haven't got much done on these, I'm finishing the Land swap, then I'm all over these.

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Still working on these!!! I have 4 of them done!!! I keep switching from land to ride because one of the will frustrate the stuffing out of me so I toss it aside to get my thoughts back..and viola a thought on another element comes to mind and I'm back on the ball again!!!

 

[StitchIsOurHero]

I'm still working on my ride and land stuff, too! I'm like you--I get an idea, start it, and then give up in frustration. Then, I switch swaps! They will get done, though, I'm sure of it!

 

[lewdyan1]

Mine will be in the mail tomorrow with my MGM swap stuff!

 

[StitchIsOurHero]

Wow! lewdyan1--you are on the ball!

I'm happy to report I finally have made progress! I have one of my 3 sets complete.

I also have to share a tip I learned while working on this swap. I was using a small punch and it was murdering my hands constantly pressing it. I know there are things you can buy that make punching easier but I don't have one and I was trying to think of what I had in my house that would help. I was about to go find my DH and ask him for a wooden block and then I realized I had one of my own - a rubber stamp! I flipped it upside down so the wooden side provided pressure for the punch and the rubber side cushioned my hand. It was perfect. I zipped through the rest of them in no time doing it that way!

Not really, I had brads and fibers!

Oh what a wonderful tip!!! I'm going to make sure I put that on a post it by my work "station".. My mom bought me one of those punching things but I don't like dragging it out of the box all the time.. Dkids thought it was a toy so I boxed it up and now they can't find their so called "toy"!

 

[StitchIsOurHero]

Thanks for the rubber stamp tip! I had never thought of that!

I went to ACMoore this evening. I got their email this week with 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock on sale for 6 cents a sheet! The cashier about freaked when I walked up there with my pile! I think I've got everything I need to do my July swaps, though, so it was worth it!

BTW, I don't know if they are doing this at all ACMoore's, but they are having a scrapbook celebration at ours on Sunday. They are giving away a Cricut! I never win anything like that, but a girl can dream!

 

[Queenie]

Well I've got my designs and I've made some already, they're just quite boring to make a lot of in one go so I'm doing batches. Should have them out by the end of the month if I can get motivated!

 

[jrpatter]

I have one done, working on the next!

 

[lewdyan1]

Just want to make sure that you have my stuff. They were in the same envelope as the MGM swap stuff.



Oops, I realize I forgot to send stamps for this swap. I will put a stamp in the mail to you for this swap!

 

[StitchIsOurHero]

Yep, I got them today with the MGM stuff! They are really cool! Don't worry about the stamp thing--that's really ok!
