JCI- I have been crafting my tail off this weekend. I have 4 days left to complete, but I have my ideas and supplies ready. Hope everyone has had a great weekend. DD and I have watched movies, crafted, and shopped for Thanksgiving dinner. We have had a fun weekend together, just the 2 of us girls. DH and DS are at Boy Scout Winter Camp so it has been a stay up all night, sleep in kind of weekend. Waves to my SS and the SS who has me. Hoping to finish up to mail this week or the latest next Monday. Hugs, Lana

Hello to both my SS hope you are doing well. Jci I have 3 directives left to complete. Hope everyone has a wonderful Holiday. I am not satisfied with my banner. I think it is the jewel tone colors. Cheryl Edited by user Monday, November 19, 2012 6:15:23 AM(UTC)

I already have it embellished, but I m just not loving it. I had a lot of issues with the banner also. I finally got around it by using complementary shades of a single color she liked and made the lettering only in jewel tones that fit the scheme.

Hello Ladies,
Jeri I am so glad you liked your 12 days gifts. I had fun making these for
you. I am checking in today with my brand new puter! It's a windows 8 so
it's taking some learning for me but so far so good!
I am sorry I had to mail a couple days early but I had to go south for a dental apt
last week and wanted to meet that early deadline.
Can't wait to see what everyone else comes up with.
And yes Gwen that is cherry lip gloss, figured everyone could use some of that.
Hugs from heaven

Good Morning!!
Busy weekend here!! And not with crafting like I wanted!!! Bill did not go hunting, so he was here all weekend... we worked in the yard for both days, kept the grandkids Saturday night and also had our family "pre-holiday" get together Saturday night. It's getting so big!! Although there have also been a ton of people who come who are not family, friends of my niece's... and lots of them. I hate to be cranky about it, but it has become more of a party for her than our family... sigh... my nephew talked a guy into coming and DJ'ing... we left when he got there, it was soooo loud!! But I got to see the two newest babies and snuggie with them, so that was awesome! And the food is great, we all bring something (well, except for those extras, they just come and eat... grrrrr...) Anyway, I played around with my purse directive and am loving it, going to finish that this morning!
Rebecca, your daughter is gorgeous!!!! Seems to me she should have won!!!!
More to comment on, but Kaitlyn is yelling for me so I better go...
back later///
Teri

I am so excited I got one of my larger projects completed yesterday. It feels good to get that done.
I still haven't done the banner yet. I cannot decide quite yet what I want to do with it.

Checking in!
I was away for the weekend with some girlfriends from church - we crafted all weekend and I made great headway on this swap :) So far I'm happy with everything I've made... Still have 3 more things to make and have good ideas for all of them, so I expect I'll just need a few more evenings of crafting time to finish up.
Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!

JCI. Am now under the gun to finish this swap ASAP. We are FINALLY getting the remaining flooring installed next week and I will have to REPACK my craft room for a few days. I'm so regretting not finishing the flooring BEFORE we moved in but at least it will be done before the holidays.

Somethings brought tears to my eyes. I love it all so much and you did a terrific job of matching all the directives with all the things I truly love...my family, yellow, Tim Holtz and Fleur de Lis. Thank you, thank you, thank you, so very much for all your hard work and the fantastic, beautiful things you made for me. I truly appreciate it ~Rebecca trvkladd attached the following image(s):

Day 5~ A Shabby Chic Banner (CREATE) made in my craft room colors. I love this banner more than words can describe. It's gorgeous. Thank you so much, Peachy!!! Day 6~ Tilda tags using vintage Victorian themed paper as backgrounds. Six of them. I'm so blessed with all the wonderful work she did on these. The detail in the coloring is amazing! trvkladd attached the following image(s):

Day 7~ Cuts from the Lacy Labels cart! Done in blue and green. These are fantastic and I don't think I'm giving a single one away. I'm going to use everyone of them on projects that I keep for myself! Thank you, Peachy...I love them! Day 8~ A Shabby Chic Pearl Wreath!!! I love this little wreath. It's exactly my style. My DD just tried to get it from me ...but it will hold a place of honor in my craft room, on a wall right next to my craft table so that I can enjoy it always! trvkladd attached the following image(s):

Day 10~ Card Fronts that I wanted for my sons to used on their Christmas Gifts. These are so amazing. You did a great job on both and I'm sure it will please both my DS's. They're both huge fans of the crafting!!! Thank you in advance for both of them! trvkladd attached the following image(s):

Rebecca, you are the lucky person to receive from Peachy this time around and as always such a wonderful box of goodies!!! Those Tilda tags - WOW! I think they would become little ornaments at my house as I am not sure I would want them on a gift to someone who may not appreciate the talent that went into making them... but then again your comments sounds like your family just may appreciate it..

For some reason it posted the same message twice when I received an error the first time couple times I tried to post the pictures. I can always come up with more things to say but I was trying to post quickly... beginning to think that is an oxymoron -- posting anything quickly!! LOL On the box Peachy sent to Rebecca, I could have gone on and on about each item as they are all so nicely done! Peachy, I didn't take as many pictures as I would have liked but have a few and will post them in the next day or two. I am still trying to know all the history of the area and maybe some of it will make more sense when I will probably go back in January..... and boy I bet it will be cold then...

I am excited to see boxes coming in but I am still working on mine for my SS and as it seems to be my style I will be mailing close to the end of the mailing dates. I have always wanted to post a sneak peak and have had things done but not the pictures in the past... last night I took a couple pictures so I am going to post these as sneak peaks. chefkimmo attached the following image(s):

well you have me stumped on that mitten kimmo! What is that W spelling out? Winter wishes or welcome? Guess I'll just have to wait until the lucky recipient receives it and posts full pics!
I like Jingle Bells too. It always puts a smile on my face when I think of that song.
Rebecca - looks like you have made good decisions on what all you are doing with your many gifts from peachy! As always, nice work peachy! She did a great job matching up to your favorite likes and choices, Rebecca! And all very good ideas for each directive too!

HAVE YOU PRINTED OUT YOUR SS'S MAILING ADDRESS YET????
Better check and make sure you haven't accidently deleted it or lost it. I'm not going away this week but it will be hit and miss with me on the computer and discovering you have PM'd me for a mailing addy.

REGARDING JOYSEE:
I've had a PM from GrandmaJ and have also read her post on Joysee. Joyce again indicated that she has her swaps mostly complete so I'm going to take a leap of faith and trust that she'll be able to get online and check in with us by the end of this weekend.
So I'm just going to continue to hold off and hope for the very best outcome.
