Cricut Junky, I am so glad you liked your spool. I really enjoyed making it for you. I thought you might be able to use the extra flowers. I can't wait to see the spool you are sending me. I really enjoyed being your partner. QOD: we are having a family weekend. I hope to craft some tomorrow and Sunday is DH birthday so we are taking him to Bass Pro and out to eat. I have a 4 day weekend! Whoo hoo!!!! Hugs, Lana

Hi, I have been in contact with my partner and she finished mine! I have a 3 day weekend and hope to get this finished! Idea number 1 did not work but I am trying something tonight that I think will work! Last 2 QOD's - My scrap area is a disaster after every project so I have to clean prior to starting new but I always put it off as long as possible! I am jumping on the spending ban.....I have stuff that I can't locate! I must use my current stuff before buying more to lose! QOD #2- I have 2 whole days of craft time...all day Sunday and Monday..plus whatever time I manage to sneak in tomorrow morning!
I will post a sneak peek when my project is complete! I am loving what you ladies are posting!
Have a great weekend everyone! Jessie looking forward to your creation!
Jeanene

JCI -- My how the time flies. All my items are definitely going to have to go postal this week. I kept waiting for an order to come on a couple of swaps and I am still waiting on one. I just wanted to mail it all at once . I am waiting til Tuesday and that's it. They are all going no matter what. I am getting nervous when it gets this close.

I think it is awesome everyone is taking the same item and doing so many different things with it.

Kim - your spool is amazing! You really packing a lot of detail.
Maureen - I love the Valentine's inspired spool. So pretty!!
I am making a lot of the components by hand. One of the components didn't work out as well as I as I had hoped... so back to the drawing board on that. But another one came out great... at least, I hope my partner, Candy, thinks so, too.

I happened to take a good picture of my spool project to send to some non-MB friends. I added it as a project as well..... I want to make another one for myself as well. Can't wait to see some more pictures of spool projects. Edited by user Tuesday, January 22, 2013 2:18:18 PM(UTC)

Glad you like it! Funny story... The first time my mom saw it on my work table she picked it up and threw it over her shoulder! When she saw the riveted metal she thought it was going to be very heavy so she lifted it up with all her strength; luckily the hall is carpeted and paper mache' kinda bounces... She decided from now on she's going to ask before she touches anything.

Kim awesome spool from COB looks like I may have to make a road trip (where is a whisteling mischevious emoticon when you need one)  Great job CoB  Hilarious story about your mom...and they say that kids do the darndest things Caffinnee - So excited - yours in process. Figured out a design challenge tonight - so now onto the next part. Jessie - you have plenty of time still to mail - so get better first. I am sure it must be hard with everyone sick and a new little one. APF - aka KM I am sure your partner will love it. Since your partner has been communicating with you off the board, make sure you get a dc# from her first before you mail. - Thanks. K

Hi ladies~ I've missed you all so much. So excited to be home from DC and able to see what you have all been up to. I'm so exhausted. I have aches in places that I didn't know were muscles.  We were busy from morning to late at night every day...we got to see some pretty amazing sights. It was freezing cold but it was a great experience.... getting to see DS marching in the Inaugural Parade was one of the most amazing moments. I was so proud of course there were tears. We got home this morning at 5:30 am after a 15 hour bus ride from the capitol. I took a little nap and am so excited to get back on the MB. Can't wait to get back to my craft table. I love all of the spools that I've seen pictured so far. I'm done with my spool and ready to mail. Hoping that my partner loves it as much as I loved making it. Big WAVES to Cindy~ I can't wait for you to get your spool. Can you please PM me your address so that I can get it into the mail before I leave for my FL trip on Friday? Thanks so much. Will be biting nails till you get it hoping that you love it! Hope everyone has been having a great week. I've got lots to do as I will be leaving again on Friday for a trip to FL for a week. Have a great day, ladies ~Rebecca

Terri, very lovely spool you received. Love the red and white Valentine’s theme. Wow Kim what a nice Steampunk spool you received from COB. COB, way to think outside the box, or birdhouse. Lana, your pic is very small, but it looks lovely. APF(Melody)...maybe try putting your picture on your computer desktop first then upload to MB. Everyone's work is so beautiful...it's so hard to compete with such talent. Edited by user Thursday, January 24, 2013 9:07:27 AM(UTC)
