Denise So glad to hear you're okay. Too funny...you're a dedicated crafter!

Candy, I love it! Sorry I never got the pic taken. halloween or the recent full moon or something had me a half beat off all day. Maybe it is because all the witch impersonators come out today and make me look bad! LOL!! Anyhow, you did a great job on it and it is my taste to a 'T'!
Denise, I hope you had stocked up on batteries incase you were up crafting by flashlight for several nights!! Glad you got through it ok!!

Unfortunately when we went to stock up on things, there were no batteries to be had in 2 Walmarts and KMart. I was not going to pay exorbitant prices that convenience store charge.

The picture just doesn't come anywhere close to doing this frame justice. It is to dark to get a good shot and the flash washes out the detail. I will try and get a picture later on today and repost. I was just so excited and wanted to share asap.
I hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Ohhh, I'm so glad it has arrived Laura. I hope the diecuts sticking off the edges didn't get bent up. I was so worried about that once I started boxing it up. Now you will have the stress of having a perfect picture snapped on your anniversary! lol (I hate getting my picture taken...) I had a very hard time getting a good picture too cuz of the dreary days. Here are a couple I took before mailing. ScrappinGwen attached the following image(s):

Laura, that frame is gorgeous...and Gwen you did a fantastic job. Bklynborn, can't wait to see your frame and I know it will be just awesome...I love Melody's work.  To both my partners, your frames are going to be going out this weekend (hopefully), if not Monday at the latest. I've had some stuff come up this past week and I forget to bring them with me to mail this morning. I now drive 30 minutes to get to and from work and each day I seem to forget something.  Sorry for the long wait, but I think I'm finally settling down after this latest move. Have a great weekend everyone.

I am ready to mail, cleaned out my inbox and lost Beanies address. As soon as she PM's it to me (I sent her a PM asking her for it) I will send the frame out. We finally got all the leaves raked from the storm and thankfully we only lost a few small limbs from our Cherry Tree in the side yard. Will post DC when I get it.

Good Morning everyone! Sorry to of gone mia after saying I would post pictures. It has just been so hectic around here, and then I got the flu to top it all off! Life needs to slow down!! I think less swaps will help too! Love all the frames that were posted! That anniversary one is so elegant, and Melody, all the detail on the one you made is stunning!! You ladies this swap have really made me look 'plain jane'!! Everyone has done a great job with the frames!! Now...the pic I promised...this is the frame Candy made me. I want to thank her again for it. DH, who rarely says anything, likes it and can't wait till I get a pic in it! Another thing on my list of things to do!! here it is: grandmaJ attached the following image(s):

Jeri - me thinks you are getting a little stingy with sharing pics with us! Keep them small so that we won't want to call dibbs on that pretty frame?????
I don't recall you posting pictures in this way before!
Very nice frame Melody....sharing your love of Asian flair.
And very nice frame Candy made too for Janice! Very pretty color combo.... Candy always does nice frames...

I mailed my frame to Debbie (Beaniesmom) this afternoon and left the DC number in the car. I wll grab it in the morning when I go out to vote. The youngest is off tomorrow as his school is a voting place. Sitting here watching my beloved Eagles lose to the Saints. Only the 2nd quarter but disheartening just the same.

Hi to all~ Hope everyone is having a great Monday!
Geaux Saints!!! Didn't even get to watch the game. Had family night with the kids. First built a fire then we all had dinner together, then s'mores and laughter all around! DH is not feeling well so we cut the evening short.
Candy~ Lovely frame. I think it's beautiful! Great job!
Janice~ Enjoy! I love that FAMILY saying...how sweet!
Kathy~ Nice to see you on. Hope all is well. Keeping you in our prayers!
Can't wait to see more pics
~Rebecca

I think everyone's frames are postal so we should have some more pics by the end of the week. I am putting together a slideshow of all the photos of the frames so once everyone receives and posts pics, I can post the slideshow.
I apologize to my partners and to everyone that I was slow in getting these frames postal. These past few months have been very hectic...between moving, unpacking, getting carpet and laminate done/not done...dates just got away from me, and for that I'm truly sorry.
I want to thank everyone for a very successful swap. I think all of you are very talented crafters.

I got two packages today my Otterbox cover for my phone so you guys won't have to listen to me complain "OMG I dropped my phone and shattered my screen" again. lol But best of all I received my frame and two surprises from Denise. Denise gave her all for Steampunk (I love how we all step out of our comfort zones to try something new) and did a very nice job. She also did a Steampunk letter and I got another Chunky Charm to put on my tree. Pretty soon I won't have to put a Christmas Tree up I can just use my CC tree. Thank you Denise, Debbie Edited by user Wednesday, November 07, 2012 7:24:06 PM(UTC)

Debbie, I am so glad you like the frame. I like to think I grasped the general idea of Steampunk. I am glad you like the letter and the Chunky Charm also. I have an abundance of charms because my DD and her fiance go to locker auctions and estate sales and if she gets charm bracelets she breaks them down for me and gives me the charms and sells the gold if there is any. I have a quite a few of Nurses charms if anyone needs some let me know. I found the DC laying on the coffee table tonight and came up to post it. Sorry I didn't post it before. Too much going on and not enough time. re looking for Wedding venues for her right now and the date they set depends on it they can the venue they want. She lives about 3 hours away and is a teacher in a Private school so her time down here is limited to weekends as long as there are no papers to grade, essay to read or anything that Teachers have to deal with. Denise eta: is that a doggie foot I see trying to hog the picture? Edited by user Wednesday, November 07, 2012 8:23:51 PM(UTC)
