Let me just say up front, that my creation for Kim will most likely be NOTHING like any of the rest of yours! I use these swaps to challenge myself to think outside the box and this time I'ma going WAY outside...

Just another note about spools: I finished a roll of ATG tape last night and noticed that the spool is pretty cool lookin', I won't be throwing them away anymore...

Hello to my partner - sweetcreations. I love vintage, what style would you like? Here's to a great swap!

Hello Plan Lady

We are partners. I have an idea for your spool in my head, Will work on it starting next week.

Maureen

Please let me know if you don't hear from your partner by Friday. Let's all do a little check in here as well by Sunday.

Waves to my partner.

HAPPY NEW YEARS EVE

Thanks,

Kel

Have a happy new year everybody!

KSQueensbee...don't be intimidated...I have seen your work and you do a beautiful job as well!

Jean, evelyn has two accounts. I don't think she can get into her old one. The one she signed up with is diffrnt than the one she has now.

HAPPY NEW YEARS EVE....k

I checked where she signed up for this swap and sent a pm from there. (Post #39)I don't know if that was correct or not.
I assume she will check the thread and send me a pm or something. Will wait and see.

HAPPY NEW YEAR to all!!!!

I did hear from Evelyn!!!!!!

I had every intention of going to bed at 10:30 and letting the new year usher itself in but then DD called and we wound up bringing 2013 in together. She's deploying (Army medic) in Feb,for a year, to Afghanistan. I'm not embarrassed to admit that it's a very scary time for me and talking about the future and her plans for when she comes home was awesome. It was the best NYE I've spent in ages.

Being the old lady that I am I had to hang up with her by about 12:45 and was quickly fast asleep until my phone rang again @ 3:15 when (Navy) DS called with West Coast New Year's wishes Then I was up early with DD's dog (I'm fostering him until she returns) and my mom (who has no sense of time anymore so she's up when she's up ) so I'm starting off the new year a bit sleepy but for good reason!

It's a cold, windy day in the northeast and I'm off to take down our tree. Despite the challenges ahead for our family this year I'm armed with a renewed sense of positivity, strength and community so 2013... I'm ready for ya, BRING IT ON!

HAPPY NEW YEAR ladies! (THANKS for being my friends!)

Happy New Year! There was so much loss last year. Hoping 2013 brings healing and love to my family and friends.

Here's to a GREAT year on the Cricut RAK's and swaps!!

Hi All,
My partner Jessie and I have been pming each other! Have a great week!
Jeanene

Hope everyone had a great New Year's. I am totally and utterly exhausted. Between work, the kick-off party, life...I am pooped.

So yesterday during the kick-off I needed to take a quick break. As I was scurrying quickly to the other room I had accidentaly started to step on my metal embellie box (it is one of those big jewelry boxes with a glass lid 12" x 24" x 6") on the floor. Before I realized it and could react, the glass shattered. I was so bummed at first, but maybe it was crafting fate.

I had been on the desparate look out for small unfinished wooden printer's trays. I ended up finding two larger display boxes, but they wouldn't work for what I wanted to do with them. They were on clearance so I picked them up anyway. I ended up putting the metal embellies in there. Then realized in stead of junking the now broken box, I could transform it into three projects. The two top insert boxes are the size I have been looking for and will work perfectly for project #1. Project #2 - knocked the glass out and now I have a perfect size frame to use for something. Project #3. Bottom part of the box will work great for a larger printer's tray/shaddow box project. So excited. I had bought that box about a year ago on clearance for $5. So now to have more use out of it will be awesome.

CoB asked this question in a different forum, just thought it would be fun to ask it here:

What are your crafting related New Year's resolutions.

Here are mine....

Try to continually learn new techniques.
(I signed up for two online workshops and I am also participating in Creative Jumpstart 2013).
Try new projects (Short and Sweet, Design Team Projects)
Swap less and make some more things for myself, gifts, etc. (I am going to limit myself to one - 2 max at at a time) (This will be the big challenge for myself as I am always easily pursuaded to join a swap).
Use stash more and buy less.

Hope everyone had a great New Years!

I have started a prototype for my spool and like the way it is coming out.

New year's resolutions... trying to buy less/use my stash, join a few more swaps and get a bit more organized..

Hi to all~

Big waves to Cindy~

My crafting resolutions~ Learn new techniques and get out of my comfort zone!
Not to join so many that it takes the fun out of it.
Keep craft room organized and put stuff away as I go.
Finish one project before I begin another. (hate having 3 or more going at one time)
Spend less on new things and try to use stuff in my stash.
Buy less Maggies which is going to be hard to do because I love them.
Make more cards for Operation Write Home.
Make more cards/crafts for my family. (they're starting to get testy)
Go to a crop because it sounds like so much fun!

Have a great day, ladies, going to check out some of my other threads and then got to HL, got lots of housework done yesterday so hopefully will have lots of crafting time today if I don't spend too much time at HL
