Wow Those are some frilly cards on that Heartfelt Creations sight! I tend to like something a bit less busy myself but I did really like one of the folded ones. Maybe I'll try it.
Hope all are doing well. I'm ready for my vacation but it's a month away!

Amy, most cards are far easier than you think. And sometimes it's just a matter of collecting certain supplies or tools to make it all easier. lol
I emailed the picture to Jean and it emailed fine (I think anyways). So now we'll see if she can maybe post it here for me. Though she may not be on as much today cuz I bet they lost electricity from storm Nemo.
Now I need to be given instructions on how to add pictures to a post other then using the "attach" button. Anyone?

DD left this morning; never did get to see her before she left.  Plow guy finally came this morning, now I gotta go shovel some more. I need Spring. I wanted to see if I could still post pics where everyone is having so much trouble. Apparently I can only see/post from IE. This is our pool area; we had no snow prior to "Nemo". The white fence you can barely see is 3 1/2 feet tall... Edited by user Sunday, February 10, 2013 8:13:22 AM(UTC)

I can see your pictures, but it took a long time for them to load for me.
and Wow! That's a lot of snow! lol
I don't understand why some of us can now only log on thru google chrome and others only thru IE, and then some of you can still do both, etc. I always have used IE, and now I can't. And they must have done more damage thru the week last week as I could post pics on Sunday but not now, a week later.
So frustrating!

Don't want you to hurt anything or anyone that might be uncovered. Just keep thinking that each day is one day closer to Spring... I am going to start marking them off the calender .. does anyone think that might help.. ok off to finishing up some other things. DH is tearing out dd's old bedroom to redo and so I am trying to hide in my craft room.. more fun then tearing out drywall.. hope everyone has a safe and snow free week. terri

Hope everyone in the storms path is safe. I do love seeing the snow pictures but also remember a few years back when we got back to back storms with those kind of snow falls. At first it was nice to see but then the work begins. We only had a rainy day and no ice or snow. Unfortunately about 1:00 a.m we heard a loud noise in front of our house and our truck alarm went off, thinking it was the wind we discover someone hit our truck and took off leaving the scene. We went outside where some neighbors from as far as 4 or 5 houses down also came out from hearing the noise too. The car ripped the front tire off the truck and then some. Actually moved the truck about 3 or 4 inches from where it was parked at. The truck is a mess. The police did find the car a few houses down from us. It's sad because this is the truck dh so loves and drives daily. But at this point there is nothing we can do so it's just wait and see how the insurance companies decide how to handle it. As far as the truck we just want to be made whole again. I guess the rest is up to the police and the charges against the driver. I love seeing the card ideas. i did just get a new book that is so out of my element that also has some ideas as well. I am finishing up some cards and then have the start of my ideas for this swap. Hoping to start on this swap mid to end of this week. ETA: I answered the tissue box question on page 2 with the answers to the other questions.

I am sorry about the truck. Glad no one was injured. Storms going here as well (MN, but it is typical for us). However, dd works at McDonalds and they did call several hours before her shift and offer to give her the afternoon off if she felt roads were too treacherous. They said due to weather they could cover and that it was optional for today (a lot of ice right now). I thought it was nice of them. She did cover shifts yesterday for someone, so she told them thank you and stayed home.  Regarding IE and Chrome - it is weird - I can't routinely use either of them to access this board, only Mozilla lets me in all the time. Go figure. Oh well - at least I know to keep trying different browsers. I should add - chrome lets me see stuff, just not log in.  Hope everyone is having a safe and scrappy day.

Just a friendly reminder that we all will need to start concentrating on this swap more in the next couple of weeks. I know many of us have been busy finishing up other swaps this past couple of weeks, but I just want us all to start focusing on this swap so that we don't find ourselves running behind in April.
So please keep this swap in mind as you continue to finish up and join other swaps in March.
Thank you!

Gwen, I upload mine to photobucket.com then change the size to 800 x 600 (so they're not real big). Then where the box with the "Links" are (right side of screen) I click the one that reads "IMG Code" (click inside that box and it will then read "copied" when your link is copied). Then come back to MB, click "Post Reply", type your message, right click your mouse at end of message and click paste and it will paste the IMG Code into your reply. DO NOT CHECK "ATTACH FILE TO THIS POST?" because you're not going to attach file, you're just going to paste it into your reply. (In your message it will show up with the IMG in brackets and the http of your photo.) Then click "Post". I know it seems like extra work, but I find it's the best way to get photos on the MB right now, especially with all the image problems.

Thank you! Dating myself here but do any of y'all remember watching Romper Room as a child and at the end of every show the teacher would look into her magic mirror and call us out by name for stuff we shouldn't be doing... THAT'S how I felt when I read Gwynne's post!  I'm guilty of not starting yet but have been making notes. Hope to finish my mousetrap this weekend and start this one next week. I've cut back on the number of swaps I commit to at a time so my SS needn't worry!

COB what Romper Room does not date us.. It just makes us Vintage... Yep I am starting on this one as I have just mailed out my other swap and finishing up a couple of small things.. but I have to remember that I am cutting back on swaps also.. Sometimes Spring fever hits as hard as wanting to do a lot of the Christmas ones.. ok can't sleep tonight so I think i will go and try again.. terri

I have a question for you all to answer please:
If you were to get a mini album specifically for you, what colors, style and papers would you want to be used on it?
**********
I wish they would re-run Romper Room just to watch it and compare it to all their teaching shows they use nowadays! And to laugh over the styles of clothing, etc.

Been busy doing typical things like cooking, cleaning, organizing and spending time with our dgd, who turns 1 year old in March. Giving myself an extra "me" day this week to work on my paper crafting. I answered the last question on page 2 with the rest of my Q & A's

JCI. We had to have my sisters dog put to sleep tonight. She was 12 years old and had a stroke on Wednesday and could not move. My sis just had back surgery so I had to go with her husband and have it done. Hardest thing in the world.
I will gat back to this swap on Saturday.

oh Denise, those situations are never easy but it's no fun to watch a dog or anyone for that matter suffer in pain. And 12 years is a good long life!

Okay, it's time to start concentrating on this swap and making sure you check in within a 2 week time period. It has been more than 12 days since the following have checked in on this thread, so please do so this weekend.
