Hey guys, I have a couple PMs from people I need to respond to, but I'm feeling a bit under the weather, that is making me fuzzy headed, so I will respond to them when I am a bit more coherent. Just didn't want anyone to think they had gotten lost in the void.

Cute pieces kkbeaton!

Hope, feel better!

Wow I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels like crud....
I ened up in the hospital ER I could not keep food down to save my life.
It started with a Migraine friday that carried over into a really bad Migraine Saturday, then turned into Exhaustion, Dehydration and a Migrane that didn't like food in my stomach.
I was on an IV for 5 hours and a drug indused sleep for 9 hours.
I was told that if I didn't get ride of some of my commitments and take a rest I would have permenant migranes Soooooo yeah
I got rid of one of my Motorcycles yesterday which free's up money. And I gave some of my classes to some other girls at the stores and places I teach at.
It's not the class that stresses me out it's the kit making.
But I have decided to take a step back from swaps as well I'm gonna do less until I find a happy medium. I'm still commited to everything I'm in and I'm not a quitter. But if I don't answer PM's right away I'm not ignoring you I'm just trying to slow down k. Love you all And my groups are coming along.

Thanks guys, I am feeling better today. There was a post on the Community board yesterday asking if anyone else was having "mild" cold symptoms that was wiping them out; and that was exactly how I felt. Even though, I was getting 10 hours of sleep this weekend, I felt completely wiped out. So exhausted my eyes were burning, like after a week at WDW. Minor aches and pains, minor headache, flushed but no fever. So for two days, I just basically laid out on the couch wondering why the heck I felt so lousy when there didn't appear to be anything wrong. Strange bug.

Ugh, Surina! In college, I ended up in the ER, with an IV stuck in my arm with dehydration from too much stress; and twice with stress induced panic attacks. I feel your pain! I know you say you are fine with doing this swap, but I know your fellow Arizonan is wishing she signed up for a few more groups, so if you have second thoughts, you might want to talk to her.

I keep see-sawing back and forth between moving the due date; I am feeling the pressure myself. But I really need these to be on there way home before I leave for WDW. So I need to have all the packages by June 12th-ish. And I'm afraid if I move the date, a little procrastination will creep in, and "the best laid plans" will end up with a package or two not making it. So I am keeping the May 25th date, with the understanding that if your package is slightly delayed that is okay. I don't want late nights for you guys to make the deadline, but I don't want "this means I don't have to work on this for a week" either. Okay?

Hope, glad you are feeling better.

Adventureland is DONE!!!
And FYI they donot give you layers or shadows for LAB (life's a Beach) borders so I improvised (sp?) and chalked and inked.

 

[Arizona Rita]

D R sounds like you need that cruise more than ever!
C'mon, hang in there, you can finish this swap! I'll stay up late with you and keep you company if need be or if you need me to take a group Im not in with you lmk! But your work is awesome and Im really looking forward to getting it!

I'm kicking butt now I'm onto Alice in wonderland and I got my idea aready.I'm gonna take my cricut with me to work tomorrow. No one pays attention to me anyways unless I'm ordering them Lunch.
Ok so I sorted my glitz paper for all your "Alice Leaves" My idea is to make like 1 of each wierd designed leave like they have standing all around the ride. I was watching this video on you-tube of the ride itself and it was like DUH the leaves!!!! So everyone is getting different color combo's and you can put them all over your pages and make it look like the ride....I hope everyone gets it or it's muscle relaxers talking now.....I'm a night worker can you tell???
Here are the glitz paper colors.

Seeeee

 

[kkbeaton2]

I knew exactly what leaves you were talking about! (and I don't think I'm on any muscle relaxers... so it must not be them talking!)

 

[Disney_rider]

Ok construction and Landscape guys are facinated by a cricut.....I used more paper to show them how it works.....
I hear oooooohhhhhhh coooolll I could use that for stickers....LOL
They are so easliy ammused.
On a side note...on the Walk in my garden cart the blackout of the leaf does NOT line up perfectly with the actual leaf you cut out. So they will be scuwed and I know it. Please don't think I was on drugs when glued them. But it looks cute it looks like a shadow, rather than a blackout.

I knew what you were talkin about. i am sure it will be super cute!

Men are strangely facinated by the cricut. prolly cause it plugs in.

Ok, I am really excited. I could not fiqure out what to do for my Critter Country page. I found the cutest clipart for a topper but it had a gray pooh in it. So I tried to remember how to work photoshop and came up with this:

It will be doublematted on cardstock and inked, is it ok for the topper for the page? I hope so as I really love it!

 

[hopemax]

That is a great image! Works as a topper for me.

I hope you are feeling better. This is going to be my last swap for awhile. It is fun, but even things we super enjoy can burden us down if we sincerely don't have the time to do them.

Take care of yourself!

Here are 3 more of my groups. I have a couple more groups that are half done that I want to get finished up over the next day or two.

Q. Golden Zephyr

I didn't embellish much, so I made extra squares to go with the License Plate and Lg Boxes,

U. Goofy's Kitchen

Pages Group A: Disneyland

The vintage look was inspired by some of the merchandise designs from the 50's and 60's. My favorite Disney merchandise artists, used it on some pieces celebrating DL's 50th, which I happen to have.

 

[JohnsonsLoveDisney]

Those are great Hope!!!

Hopefully i am caught up with my other pics by the time i get these back and can do my disneyland trips!!
