LET ME KNOW IF I HAVE MY LIST RIGHT:
KM & Rebecca both mailed - just waiting on delivery and pictures
Denise & Smallbug - Denise mailed and it has showed received - Smllbug - Need to provide a DC for yours and please post picture.
Sumrbrez - Will post pictures when she gets back
One other pair had contacted me prior and we worked out a separate agreement so all is good on that.
If I missed something, please let me know.

Smlbugg has been snowed away from home for several days. Luckily she was at her dad's when it got bad. Will call her and see if she has it with her or if it is at home. Mine was supposed to be here Saturday from what tracking said, but my PO is SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW Edited by user Sunday, March 03, 2013 4:31:20 PM(UTC)

Yea you missed me. I mailed Priority on Thursday (2/28/13) and when I looked up the Tracking Number online it said it would be delivered on Saturday (3/2/13) but it did't make it. Sorry I trusted the Post Office to live up to what they said they would do. I don't know when I'm going to get that they just don't deliver when they say they will. I just looked online again and it still says delivery on Saturday 3/2/13 so maybe they can atleast do it Monday 3/4/13. Karyn said that she saw that the delivery would be Monday. I hope she gets it on Monday I can't wait to hear if she likes her Mouse Trap. Debbie I see Karyn beat me to answering. Karyn thank you for letting Kelley know that we are working on getting you your trap. Edited by user Sunday, March 03, 2013 4:47:12 PM(UTC)
| Reason: Thanking Karyn for keeping me honest. Lol

I see Karyn beat me to answering. Karyn thank you for letting Kelley know that we are working on getting you your trap. Yea, I was disappointed Christmas when I mailed priority flat rate envie with DGD Christmas outfit. Mailed on Dec 17 and the envie arrived torn and smushed up the 28th. Stating missent twice! They keep raising the $$$ and cutting service. Customer service is def out the window. I am sure I will love my trap. I don't leave out until Friday so looking forward to getting it before I go.  Anyone have an ideas on how to pack up my Cricut and some stuff for when I leave for 2 weeks to train people in NC? As I don't know anyone, it will be work to hotel.

My trap from Beanies Mom was on my porch when I got home.  Along with the trap and card was a note telling me which papers she used and the die cuts she used. I am sooooo liking the the die cuts. Been reading where it embosses, cuts or can be used to stamp an image. This helps as I am still sorting and searching to see what there is and what I am drawn to. Thanks for that! Oh, NO DIBBS! FRONT  BACK  CARD  Thank you so much!

I'm posting two pictures of the trap I made for Karyn with her ok. I'm so glad that Karyn liked the trap I made for her it's always a little scarey until your partner lets you know if she likes it. It was alot of fun making this project. Thank you Kelley for the fun swap, Edited by user Monday, March 04, 2013 7:40:11 PM(UTC)

Did you see the trap that Sumrbrez made for me? She used the OZ theme and used G45 paper. It is really nice and she used the "Yellow Brick Road" and the "Emerald Palace". I love the trap that you received too! The white butterfly that Rebecca used is that a die that she cut? It is very beautiful. I'm in CricutCrazys Butterfly and Dragonfly swap and that would be a good one. I see that you are also signed up for that swap. Looks like it's going to be alot of fun. I also saw that you are in the Altered Silverware swap, I'm also in that one. Makes me kinda laugh because last year we said we were going to cut down and we are going strong again. I just love doing the swaps and Kelley and Barb do such great jobs at hostessing. Good to talk to you again and I hope things are going well for you, Debbie

Yes Debbie, we are cricut swap junkies.   Barbara and Kelley definitely belong in the Amazing Cricut Hall of Super Awesome Hostesses. Their Super Powers are irresistible, and their Swap Nets surround you faster than a speeding bullet, and you are totally unable to resist their sign ups, as you are caught up in the swirling vortex of their crafty charms. We had no choice but to surrender Beanie, , it is not our fault. I am still searching for the 12 Step Crafter's Anonymous Program. Perhaps with a support system we can resist.

Thanks Gwynne~ I had a great time with this swap. Never know what will come of thinking outside of the box. I started to put a cute little mouse on there but it just didn't fit no matter where I tried to put him.  Debbie~ Love the trap that you did for Sumrbrez. What papers did you use on that? I love the paper. I cut the little butterfly from a cart. It's a Cricut Cake cart (Cake Basics) that I use all the time. I love that butterfly it's one of my favorite cuts! Melody~ Sorry that I haven't had a chance to post the pics...I haven't had a chance to even take the pictures yet. I'll take them and be back on to post later. Again, thanks so much, I love the box. DD loves it too. I'm so happy that you liked yours. I'm always biting nails hoping that my partner will be pleased with what I've created. Back soon to post the pictures of the great box that Mel made for me ~Rebecca Edited by user Tuesday, March 05, 2013 6:51:26 AM(UTC)

Here are the pictures of my adorable little shabby chic box from Melody. I've photographed it from all 4 sides and still don't think I got all of the little details in. Thanks so much for the box, Mel. I love it! It's so cute! DD says that she's going to put it on her dressing table for notes and hair pins!!! Edited by user Tuesday, March 05, 2013 7:03:28 AM(UTC)

Back soon to post the pictures of the great box that Mel made for me ~Rebecca Thank you Rebecca. The paper I used on the front of the trap for Sumrbrez was some handmade Asia inspired paper I purchased at a local store here in Albuquerque. It closed a couple years ago but it was a very dangerous place to go, besides having beautiful handmade paper it came in 4' x 3' pieces and was very hard to resist. The paper on the back and the little picture are Graphic 45 "Bird Song" that is a very beautiful collection, as a matter of fact I bought 1 12 x 12 and 2 8 x 8 pads. I would hate to take a chance of using it and not have enough to hoard. I might have to invest in that cake cartridge (I don't have any of those) that butterfly is beautiful. Melody you are tooooo funny sometimes, you really make me chuckle. Gwynne has posted some kind words and I feel that the her super powers are out there waiting for us to find a new swap to enter. I would hate to miss a chance to get into another great swap. I don't have what it takes to be a hostess. They all have patience and the ability to encourage us even when we want to stop. Thank you to all the great hostesses. Melody I love what you made for Rebecca. You always come up with great ideas!!! Have a nice rest of the week everyone and Kelley thanks for another great swap. Debbie P.S. - Sorry for Rambling on. Edited by user Tuesday, March 05, 2013 7:57:51 AM(UTC)

Rebecca, so glad you liked your mousetrap box.  Yes Beanie, Gwen definitely qualifies for The Super Hall of Craft Famers, next to Kelley, Barbara, And Rockin Robin, Jean P, Gramma P, Renee, Rebecca, oh my goodness, we need more podiums so we can fit all the wonderful hostesses there. I know there are more that deserve a space there, but my brain is foggy without my coffee today. Edited by user Tuesday, March 05, 2013 2:14:17 PM(UTC)

First, NO DIBBS. I received my lovely Steampunk mouse trap from Cindy today. Thank you for putting a magnet on the back so I can put it on my fridge. I also want to thank Terri for being an angel for me (I owe you one Terri)...and Kelley, for not putting me on the flaker list. As some of you know, I pulled my back out and have pretty much been unable to do anything. I was bedridden for 5 days and have been in pain for the past week and a half (and am out of pain pills)! I've been having a hard time sitting, standing, walking, sleeping, etc. I had to go back to work as Boss Man was getting antsy (it's just me and him in the office). I climb back in bed the minute I get home from work. I'm s-l-o-w-l-y beginning to feel better, but I don't see the orthopedist until March 18.

Robin - this is a perfect example of things just happen - it is a part of life. The thing that you did was you contacted before the swap was due and we were able to work out a solution where your partner still received a swap item. COMMUNICATION is the key.

Here's my beautiful mousetrap from Terri! No Dibbs!! Although Little Dude keeps trying to wander off with it to hang up his projects. Lol!  Looking at everyone else's creations have given me soooo many ideas to borrow!! It's amazing how everyone has such different ideas with the same starting point. Amazing!! Robin - I'm glad you are starting to feel better! I hope you are back to 100% soon! It's no fun hurting all the time
