I have a few questions on the Tags --- do we decorate both sides of the tags? also if you have the border (I can't think of AWM called it) around the tag do we glue it down or leave it free.. Thanks a bunch!!! Michelle

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

For the Zoo tags, it is both sides. You will be making an album/book out of these by joining them with ribbon or ring or carbiner.
Make sure the hole is to the left for the front of the page and then to the right for the back of the page.

It is called the silhouette and yes I glued it down.

I'll keep an eye out AWM!


Update from me:
I found my pirates, seems they tried to sneak off to Tortuga. Blasted Pirates!!! The girls are done, so I just need to do the boys. And cut out the treasure chests. easy!

And I had a moment of clarity on my Xmas stuff so those are 1/2 done. The Cricut got a work out today!

Let's see, where am I?

I finished my General Vacation group yesterday, so that makes 5 groups done, and 4 to go.

I bought the pirate paper but don't really know what I am doing yet, have a general idea about what I am doing for the character meal groups. Still don't know what color I'm doing for the other color group, I guess it depends on what paper I have enough of.

DH is flying to DC tomorrow night for MLS Cup weekend, and won't be home until Monday. My goal is to get everything done except the "Fill In the Gaps" swap, while he is gone, and mail everything on Monday. We will see how well that goes.

DH is headed out of town the week after Thanksgiving so I'm waiting to get most of my stuff done then.
Then he's home til after the New Year so no swapping, scrapping and minimal DIS'ing for me.

Mailed my group today.

Hey Buffy!

Did you see my check-in on 11/4? I'm only marked down for the first check-in.

I also wanted to update. I've finished all of my slide frames and both color groups. I just need to buy my primas and figure out what I'm doing for my vacation group.

I remembered just as I read your post. Sorry!

How's Grandma doing? Are you headed back east soon?

No problem. I just want to make sure you know that I've not forgotten about my swaps.

She's doing OK. We fly out on Sunday for the week. I am packing up tons of scrappy things to take with me so I'll have stuff to do. DH said I could have one whole suitcase just for my scrap stuff. I'll go crazy without stuff to do late at night since everyone is in bed by 9:30.

Glad its not just me I thought the rest of you went and planned everything down to the last brad

 

[SusieStone]

My sincere hope is to get these done this weekend. If not, we have 3 days out of school for Thanksgiving.

take your time Susie, no rush.

 

[Faerie]

Mine are just about done, I'll finish tomorrow night at my crop. Buffy, I'm going to send them with the paper I'm sending your way

in bed by 9:30??? No way Jose! Besides that's only 6:30 to you, that's crazy.

I'm glad she's ok. Are they getting ready to move her?

Yes, we both pretty much never adjust to the time change. They eat dinner at 6:00 and then at 11:00, we are hungry again because 6:00 is pretty much lunch time and we eat dinner around 8:00 our time.

DH and I just watch TV or movies but I can't just sit and watch something without a project to work on. I do some knitting but I need my scrappy stuff!

They haven't told her that they are moving her into an assisted living facility yet. The doctor told her she has to have round the clock care for the next two months so she is staying with one of DH's aunts. They are going to just keep her there as part of doctor's orders until after Christmas and then gently spring that she will be going to the assisted living place using the doctor as back-up since he really doesn't want her to live by herself.

The good news is that they have found her a really nice assisted living condo community that backs onto a stream/canal type thing so she will still be able to sit on her back porch and watch the animals. The place she lives now backs onto a canal off of the Weeki Wachee River so she sees all kinds of birds and an occasional manatee and we didn't want her to have to lose that.

There will still be some fireworks going on when they break the news. DH and I are glad we won't be there although we fully expect a pretty peeved call once she realizes that we helped pack up the house.
