Yay! So glad you liked it all! For my "drying" tray I put some Saran Wrap on it so I don't ruin the gorgeous work Kelley did!
Ok- I have to make myself a steampunk box for myself. I truly love the way that came out! Can you believe that most of it is grunge paper?
Enjoy it all!

I got home a bit ago and have opened everything but still need to take pictures but I am having a hard time letting George out of my hand!!! Great--I am glad you like George!! PM'd you.

Plus Ali's box is ready for her to pick up too. WE also have a couple southerly boxes close to being delivered. I'll be at the PO tomorrow (Tuesday). SS, can't wait to see what you created for me.
SS, who I am sending to I hope you like what I created for you. Now is the nervous time of waiting. Will be mailing your box tomorrow as well.
Love the boxes so far..awesome job ladies.
Camera is charged and I'll post pictures Tuesday nite.

Lots of great things arriving ... a few I may need to scraplift Gwynne, have you tried clearing your cookies when you can't login ... I have to do that about once a week now and it drives me crazy, cause I never log out of anything, but after I clear my cookies I have to log back in

Yep, I've been doing that Candy. I do that regularly anyway. I've been turning computer off and on. Anything I can think of. It's only the MB that is giving me a hard time though from what I can tell. Hoping that I'll soon have a new computer and maybe that will solve my issues. I must be just too outdated with this computer or something like that. But what really irks me is that other hours I can log right on as quick as can be. So it must have something to do with high traffic hours to this site. I feel like my computer isn't strong enough to fight its way into this site when everyone else is logging on too! lol That's the only way I know how to explain it. So it must be my older computer - and it is ancient when you consider I've had it almost 7 years.... lol Now, to back track and see the pics of what Kim made for Jessica! Then check DC#s to see what we have arriving today, if any... My box will be in the postal system later this morning. It is setting on the table ready to go! I really could have had this in the mail last week...but I just was stalling....I was having a hard time letting go of a couple of the projects! lol and I'm serious!

I'd say you got spoiled Jessica! Everything is lovely and great interpretations on the directives.
The Paris picture collage is super lovely! The birdcage turned out real cute too as well as the banner. But yes, that steampunk purse is the bomb! Awesome job Kim on that!
Though not quite sure how you did that with that straw in there....or I think it's a straw....it's cool looking!
You gals that were on peachy's winning team last round truly got rewarded!

I was glad to hear that there is something wrong and it isn't just my computer. Last night I couldn't get on using my computer or the phone. It really upsets me when pictures are coming in and I can't see them.
If you find out anything Gwynne please let me know. I can't be without being able to long in during the countdown. lol
I will be mailing at the last minute (Wednesday) but I will be mailing on time. I don't care if I have to crawl in the box and finish something on the way to ________________ house it will be done. lol Just thought about what I typed and that would be one heck of a hugh box, I'd would really have to pay alot in extra postage.
Everyone have a great day and keep those pictures coming.
Debbie

Just checked DC#s to see if anything updated overnight. Looks like there may only be one delivery late today.
Looking like there may be several tomorrow though!
For those of you that have not mailed yet - do your best to get mailed tomorrow and don't be worrying about the added expense of priority mail. It's usually too expensive for a swap this size.
If you don't think you are mailing by tomorrow, just let me know. I'd rather you send a properly boxed up swap, then rush and ruin something in the process.
Terri had to rush out of town last Thursday evening and won't be back home just yet, due to her FIL's funeral...so her box will obviously be mailing quite late. Every rule has its exception and she's the exception to the rule this round, understandably.

Enjoy it all! Kim, you may need to take orders for those boxes!!! Fantastic Box! Good thing "no dibbs" was made good and clear! My box is going out today! I may have to pack myself in too since it's been below zero for the last week and I'm needing to thaw out! Anywhere would be warmer than here right now

Kim, awesome job on the swap. Luvskrapin, you don't know how much I wanted to steal some of that from you  Especially the box. Kim, I cut down' one of the ranger non-stick mats to fit inside my tray that way I can move it to anywhere to dry, but then I can pull the mat out and clean it easily.

looks like i have a lot of catching up to do.. just got home from my father in laws funeral and being gone for what seems like forever..
This has been the longest six days i think i have ever been through.. I think in the last 6 days we might have had 3 hours of sleep a night.. so i am not a nice person right now.. LOL...
Only good thing is the drive is only nine hours one way...
ok have to get some things done here.. be back later to check everything out.

Jean and Kim, beautiful work. Gwen I tried to see your beauties but had trouble viewing them. Maybe you can post some pics for us to drool over too? No box here yet but I am keeping tabs on my mailman. Terri, I am so sorry about your fil, hope you can get some rest and recover. Was it an unexpected death or some lingering disease? I will say a prayer for him and your family.

Every rule has its exception and she's the exception to the rule this round, understandably. t Let's me say that I am really sorry that my box will be mailing late so please forgive me in advance. I would have much rather been here finishing it up then there.. but thank you for your understanding. Kathy he had been sick for some time with shingles.. so for anyone who can get it go get the vac shot.. but he really went downhill this last week.. we were planning on going later this month but then they called each day and it was just worse so we got there just a few hours before his passing.. but then it seems like it was so slow getting all the arrangements done and they had already done the pre need things.. so since i am still punch drunk from the lake of sleep i am just going to say that I have called dibbs on all of the lovely things I have seen.. Great boxes everyone..

Teri so sorry to hear abut your fil. No matter how we may expect it, it is never easy. Take care and try not to worry about too much. Love see all the wonderful boxes coming in. My box will also be mailed tomorrow and I will send my DC # as soon as I get it. Guess there are a few of us mailing Wednesday. Oh well still on time and a chance to check every thing once again.
