WDW Event Swap Progress Thread - **Please post when they arrive!**

[TPCShauna]

We're at DH's aunt's house and she has DSL!

I've finally updated the thread. I think I got everyone who has checked in and I marked our shipped package.

I've only finished one group and have tags cut for another. Being out of town for so long has kept me from being as productive as I would like.

Please check in when you have a moment to let us know your progress.

Hi Shauna-

I just wanted to let you know that my packaged was mailed out Saturday. I went ahead and placed the $4.60 stamp on my return envelope to keep it from getting lost.

I am glad to hear your DH grandmother is doing better and you are able to get some time away from the hospital. I know that helps. Take care.

Okay guys, I need some help. I've been rolling this around in my brain for weeks now and I just can't seem to come up anything. I would like to do a more "fun" title for my Beach Club holiday group. As you know, they have the chocolate merry-go-round, and I just know there's a cute saying that would capture that but I can't quite put my finger on it. Any ideas?

Everything is sweeter in Chocolate????

Everything is sweeter in Chocolate????

A little longer than I can cut with my Cricut, but thanks!

I was thinking there's something there along the lines of "Chocolate Whimsy" or "Chocolate Fantasy" but those don't seem quite right. I'll keep trying.

 

[missesdisney]

Mine went postal today!

Merry-Go-Chocolate?

Noel a le Chocolate?

I finished my Holiday Storytellers. I did not follow the instructions and make a title and 2 elements. There are 11 countries, I figured we all know about the US, so that leaves 10. So...

So are you saying what I think you're saying? You made 10 countries worth of stuff? Please say I'm wrong.

'K. We're updated to here.

123SA and NemoMom - Your packages have arrived. I have to say that these are some of the most beautiful swap items I have EVER seen. The MVMCP groups are incredible and I am wishing I had signed up for the MNSSHP groups just to have the incredibly cute stuff!

I just want to let y'all know that DH and I are headed back to Florida on the 18th and will be gone until the 25th. Our pet sitter will be picking up our mail while we are gone but I wanted y'all to know that I won't be able to update the received list until I get back.

As such, I won't actually be swapping these out until the first weekend in December. I just wanted y'all to know. I'm sorry about the delay but DH and I feel it's really important to spend as much time with Grandma as we can right now and that week is really slow at work so we are taking it off.

Let me know if y'all have any questions.

Why would I do that? I will say, though, that things are not as embellished as if I were only making a couple items. I just couldn't figure out which countries to choose, so...

Thanks Shauna! I forgot to mail the additional postage -- I mailed my stuff in a box so I am think it will need a box to get back to me. I am in 4 groups. Does this seem right to you? Anyway, I hope to get to the post office tomorrow. I have been stuck in the house with my kids (strep, yuck!) all week. Hopefully, we can get out tomorrow.


NemoMom -- can't wait to see your items!

Hopemax --- you are amazing!

I have a question for the Flower and Garden group- I am doing embellished shapes and have 2 layered, inked, and stickled/diamond dusted flowers along with the acrylic flowers. I can stick these flowers on a square or paper soi they are matted but I don't want mine like that for my book. Do you mind if I don't I am willing to enclose squares of paper if you want but I think they look better without matting. Let me know if you want pictures to make you decision.

If you think they look better without matting, I'm cool with them like that! I can't wait to see these! This swap is going to be awesome!!!

I also mailed mine in a box thinking the weight wasn't bad then realized it went cross country - so the 5 dollars I put in won't be enough to return it - What's your preference on sending the rest for a flat rate box (and does anyone know offhand how much that is?)

 

[123SA]

The flat rate box is $8.95.
