Rules for Mailing:
CJ's must be no bigger than 8" x 8" - but can be 8x8 or any size you like under that.
CJ's must be posted in a jiffy bag. It is a good idea to put the CJ in to a ziplock / sandwhich bag to protect it from the elements. Also a bit of bubble wrap around the CJ will help protect it against the abuse of the royal mail!
All CJ's must be sent via recorded delivery. The recorded delivery tracking number will be required in the event of any missing CJ's.
You must post on the thread when you send and recieve CJs - stating who's CJ you have sent and / or recieved after each posting date. I will keep an uptodate list of who has what CJ. This will give you all peace of mind knowing that your CJ is safe and in good hands.
If you need extra time or are going to be late posting a CJ at any time, you MUST contact Miss S. Don't panic and hide if you fall behind - it happens to us all - just make sure you keep in touch with Miss S and she will do her best to keep the CJ on track until you are able to catch up.

Details
CJ for newbies who have never done a CJ before. One month before first posting to make/buy journal, decorate and do own entry.

**Please leave the first message below this for the host to post!**

Oh goody. I was just going to check if there's posting near to my holiday but the last posting is the week before. Phew. What a relief. I was panicing that I'd have a parcel sitting at the post office for a week.

[ditzzy]

Hello everyone! Iam really sorry SHARON but I haven't managed to post your next one . My dad has been ill and things have been a little frantic. He is now back home again and touch wood is hopefully on the mend.

Has anyone heard from Bevvie because I havent recieved one from her yet and its most unlike her. I saw recently that she wasnt feeling well but that she hoped to be home again soon to scrap?

I hope you all have had a lovely Easter. Warmest Wishes Alison

[Miss S]

I haven't heard from Bevvie, although I did send her a pm yesterday. Hopefully she is ok and isn't unwell.

[Scrappin Sarah]

Hi everyone did you all have a good easter?

I haven't heard from Bevvie either. I had meant to PM her before Easter as we are doing a direct swap in the "Bonanza Name badge Swap". I know things have been getting on top of her lately so I hope she is OK

I haven't started on Rosie's CJ yet. All 3 of my children (aged 20, 16 and 14) absolutely love it and don't want me to send it on :lol: You will absolutely love it when you get it back Rosie :lol:

[Miss S]

I heard from bevvie today. Not sure if she will pop in here, but just incase she doesn't.. She has said she has 2 CJ's.. treenie's CJ and 4kidsat147's CJ and will be posting them together after the weekend. Is that ok with everyone?

[bevvie]

Hi All

Thank you all for your concern .... I have been away for the easter weekend and went to see my ex and his kids ... it really helped clear a few things in my head and I am slowly getting through various swaps and getting things straight in the house and I have started taking my St Johns Wort so I am slowly getting there!

I am so Sorry about the CJ's .... I really hat getting behind ... but I think the thing is I know exactly what I want to do for them both. Once the cyber crop is finished this weekend I will have no other swaps etc to complete and so I will get the CJ's done next week and I will post to let you know when I will be sending them on ....... Sorry Alison ... I hope that doesn't mean you will be rushing .... and I am really really sorry to the rest of u for holding things up. Hope you understand that it isn't like me! :)

Sarah - We will have to catch up with each other early next week and sort the name badge swap!!! :)

[bumpybecky]

that's fine with me :) but then they're not mine and I'm not after bevvie!

I hope when Bevvie does feel up to it, she starts posting again :) big (((((hugs))))) for her in the meantime :)

[ditzzy]

I heard from bevvie today. Not sure if she will pop in here, but just incase she doesn't.. She has said she has 2 CJ's.. treenie's CJ and 4kidsat147's CJ and will be posting them together after the weekend. Is that ok with everyone?

Hi sarah, Thats fine by me , I really hope all is okay with Bevvie Miss her chats on here. If your there Bevvie Lots of hugs . Take care .Alison :wub:

[bumpybecky]

oohh! you must have been typing while I was Bevvie :)

good to hear that you're staring to feel a bit better :) I know it can take a long time to turn that corner (been there with pnd after dd2).

[ditzzy]

Bevvie no worries about the cj's just glad to hear you are okay and hopefully on the mend. Enjoy the cyber crop . Look forwrad to recieving your next ones. I have been very late this time it happens to us all. wARMEST WISHES aLISON

[ditzzy]

Hello Sharon All I do is aploigise to you or thanking you for your help. This one is an apology Finally I have sent you Sarahs cj BY THE SEA. mY DAD IS UNWELL AND BACK IN HOSPITAL and so things have been a little frantic . ITS not all his fault if i was organised it wouldnt have mattered quite so much. I am really sorry . Its now at the post office for the weekend and hopefully should reach you tuesday . Thats if it is as fast as last time. Hopefully I can catch up just waiting for the next one after Bevvie has done the cybercrop.

Hope you are well and having a lovely weekend . take care Alison

[rosie]

Hi everyone Hows it going?

I'm having a really unorganised month and have only just started my entry in the cj. Therefore I'm not going to be posting tomorrow. I will try and get it out by Midweek, sorry Emma.

Rose

[bumpybecky]

I'm overdosed on cybercrops! I've done so much in the last few days! I've started the CJ entry (on friday) but can't face doing any more tonight - just too tired. Will do as soon as I can.

Hope you've all had a good weekend and congrats to the prize winners (bevvie and treenie?) :)

[VerityT]

Hi All, I'm late too - will get it to you as soon as I can Rosie. I keep forgetting to bring my camera to work to take some photos for this entry...

Can you believe Bonanza is only three weeks away?! Since Sarah said she was doing 8 classes a day, I've upped mine as well - I'm now doing five a day - don't know when I'm going to eat, but I'm fat enough, so I guess I can live off that for a long time :)

[VerityT]

Oops - my finger just slipped and I'm now doing 6 a day! Yeeee-haaaaaaa! (I'm a wee bit excited)

[4kidsat147]

Well I was going to do a mad rush to get mine done through the day today, but if everyone is a little cybercropped out then I hope you won't mind if I post mine tomorrow? Saves trying to deal with kids while also doing my best in the CJ.

[bumpybecky]

I know I'd prefer less rushing and less stressed people doing cj entries :)

[4kidsat147]

I know I'd prefer less rushing and less stressed people doing cj entries :)


Oooo good I'll take that as a yes and leave it till tonight then. :)

[Kat the Cobbler]

Oooo good I'll take that as a yes and leave it till tonight then. :)

I'll post mine to you today (because I'm going to the post office anyway).

[4kidsat147]

That's fine......I'll get mine out tomorrow. I'm going the PO today but no point in posting one that isn't completed. LOL

[kiwinuk]

Bevvie I'm sorry but I am going to be a bit late in sending my CJ this time. I am hoping to send it Wed.

[Scrappin Sarah]

What are we all like :lol:

I have managed to finish Rosies but didn't get to the Post Office. I will hopefully get there tomorrow.

It seems we are all very busy people :lol:

[4kidsat147]

Right mines all done and I must say I'm rather chuffed with it....it's a bit different I can say that. :)

It will be in the post tomorrow.

[bumpybecky]

very busy people :( with a dd3 who refuses to sleep :( haven't managed to get anything down this evening as she's been whingy and dh has been busy so not able to cuddle her. Will try and get this cj done tomorrow :)

[ditzzy]

HI EVERYONE!

I am very confused about whos got what at the mo, I know I was one behind and I havent recieved the next one to post, Bevivie has explained and I am expecting it soon . Hope so then I can try to catch up. My dad is still unwell and still no idea why !! At the mo he is still in hospital 3 times he has been in and out since the 8th. I wish they would get there act together and give me some confidence that they know what they are doing. Sorry I will shh now,

Well done to all you cyber croppers it looked totally confusing the little I saw!! Well OFF to work now . Take care Alison

[rosie]

Alison, best wishes to you for you dad, hope its ok.

I still haven't managed to do anything, but I'm so hoping I can get something done tonight for posting tomorrow, sorry Emma.

[bumpybecky]

(((Alison))) hope your Dad is OK

finally posted this afternoon - sorry for the delay Verity :)

[4kidsat147]

(((Hugs))) for Alison....I hope your dad gets better soon.

The Home CJ was also posted this afternoon and should be with Sarah Tomorrow.

[bevvie]

Hi Alison .....

I am going to try and organise my time this week and get the entries done .....I have had a bit of a relapse the last couple of days but I am working my way through it!

Alison .... just keep fighting with docs ... thats what I did when my mum was in ..... make sure u speak to them often and also take a notebook and write notes about what is going on and then ask any questions ..... hopefully he will soon be up and well again .... hugs to u and hope all is good soon.

Bev
xx

[Scrappin Sarah]

((Hugs)) to you Alison - I hope you get to the bottom of what is wrong with your Dad really soon.

Bev - I've been thinking if things are getting on top of you at the moment do you really want the hassle of the Bonanza Tag Swap? I'm more than happy not to do it - let me know.

Becky - I posted Rosies CJ to you today so hopefully you will get it tomorrow.

[4kidsat147]

oo also forgot to say I received Becky's Journal this morning. :)

[VerityT]

Hi All, I have posted to Rosie this morning.

Hope your Dad gets better soon Allison, and Bevvie I hope you're feeling more like yourself.

[kiwinuk]

Hi I've finally posted the CJ to Bevvie today.

[4kidsat147]

Awww thanks ladies.......I've had some lovely pressies from friends and I've lots of yummy Queen & Co stuff to drool over at the moment.....and a cute little bag. Yummy.

[Scrappin Sarah]

Happy Birthday Rebecca - glad you've had some lovely prezzies.


Sharon the next posting is: 15th of May 2006 (just after bonanza). I'd better get organised as I don't fancy rushing it after the weekend at Bonanza :lol:

Are we one behind then?? I haven't received one from you Sharon but if there's a delay then fair enough.

[Sharon NI]

I only got scrapping sarah Cj yesterday so i am not sure where we are supposed to be.;)

The posting date was monday. If you haven't had one to post then I assume there was a gap somewhere.

Can anyone claryify this.

[rosie]

Well I'm not sure if this will help, but we have just had a posting date last monday. I've posted my entry and I'm now expecting my last but one (penultimate - can't spell) book. Therefore I have two more entries to do....

...does that help?? :wacko:

Yeah. There must have been a hold up somewhere if Sharon has only just received Scrapping Sarah's because according to who sends to who I should have scrapping Sarah's so I assume I'm not getting on this time around.

[rosie]

Bonanza,

Who fancies a meeting?? I would love to meet all of you. I'm a volunteer on the Friday and enjoying myself (hopefully) on the Saturday. If you'd like to have a group meet up then please let me know your schedule and I'll try and find a time for us all to meet. If you don't want to I understand, my photo is a little scary!!!! :D

[bumpybecky]

not going to bonanza :( hope you all have a good time though :)

[VerityT]

LOL Rosie! I would love to meet up. I've just posted a message on the Bonanza forum about how nervous I am - feel like a bit of a prat now, but things like this make me really nervous! I'm arriving Friday and my last class that day finishes at 7pm. If I manage to get the cj done in time, I'll bring it to pass on to you!

[VerityT]

Forgot to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY Rebecca :)

[rosie]

Yeah Verity I was going to do the same with the CJ, haven't actually got it yet though but there is a card from the lazy postman. I think Emma (Dominiuk) is going so I was going to see if I could get my entry done and give it to her directly. I'll see who else is interested in meeting up and then see if we can coordinate something.

I do apologise for taking over the thread when not everyone is going, I hope you don't mind.

[bumpybecky]

I don't mind at all :) just wish I was going too!

[Scrappin Sarah]

Rosie, i'd like to meet up - shame you aren't going Becky.

[VerityT]

Becky, why did I think you were going? I'm so disappointed - I really wanted to meet you :(

Sarah - I think we have a couple of classes at the same time (I only "think" cos I change my mind every five minutes and change them around!)

[4kidsat147]

Thanks all for your birthday wishes, I've had a great day and while you'd never catch me at Bonanza I hope you all have a great time, and save some of the scrapagogo kits for me will ya? - I'm hoping to get my mitts on one....well when I find out what it is???

[bumpybecky]

aww sorry Verity :(

to be honest the whole bonanza thing sounds rather manic to me! maybe next year :)

[VerityT]

Oh well - we'll tell you what it's like. I'm hoping it's not too manic - I'm really excited about the classes mainly.

On another note, scrap camp in November sounds interesting.... any takers?

[bumpybecky]

I was looking at scrapcamp last night - I would love to go :) but (there's always a but!) I don't think I can find that kind of money for a weekend just for me :( its the same amount as we're looking at spending for our family holiday this year!

[VerityT]

It is an awful lot of money :( I looked at the website this morning and was thinking that I'd better give Bonanza a go first before freaking my DH out with further demands on the bank account!

[Scrappin Sarah]

Is scrap camp the one at Bristol?

The one they held the other weekend sounded lovely!!!

Rebecca - when is the Scrapagogo class?

Is anyone staying at the Hilton? I'm staying there Thursday and Friday night

[VerityT]

Sarah, I'm staying at the Hilton on Friday night and I'm 99% sure that Bevvie's a VIP so she'll be there too.

Scrapcamp is the one in Bristol, and I agree - when I first saw the website I thought it sounded even nicer than Bonanza :ph34r: ...can't believe I just said that! I'll just go and wash my mouth out!:lol:

[ditzzy]

Hello everyone ! Havent been on here for a while so am just catching up . Thankyou for all your kind wishes my dad seems to be slowly getting better. Fingers crossed!

Rebecca happy late birthday!! You have the same birthday as my son he was 24.

SHARON I hate to say this but yes I was very late and Sarahs really should have left you so we are one behind but I didnt recieve the one from Bevvie to send on the 24 April . I am now waiting for storage solutions I think!! I will send it as soon as i recieve and get it done quickly . Things went a bit wayward Sorry. Bevvie has said she will catch up with me soon.

BEVVIE I really hope you are recovering now .please dont worry we will get there in the end . Look forward to seeing your lovely layouts soon.

Take care everyone . Warmest wishes Alison

[Sharon NI]

Alison, I am glad to hear your dad is slowly improving will keep my fingers crossed for you.

[kiwinuk]

Hi everyone forgot to tell you I have the CJ. Sorry for the delay. But I have the make you smile CJ.

[rosie]

Don't think I've confirmed that I've received my next CJ. Its Bevvie's 'what I love about where I live"

Emma - Am I correct in thinking your going to Bonanza? If so, are you going both days? fancy a purple rain meet up? Also if you are can I bring the cj for you (if I get it done at the 12 hour crop on Saturday)

[VerityT]

Oops! I forgot to mention that I have the "Favourite Destination" cj. Picked it up on Saturday. Rosie, I'll bring it with me next week and hand it over in person :)

[Scrappin Sarah]

Can't wait to meet you all. When and where shall we meet up? Is anyone going to the party night thingy?

Perhaps we should list our classes as well

[rosie]

Yeah, if we all post here I can try and get an idea of when we could meet up.

Friday - Volunteer, working on Registration
Saturday - Room 9 9.15 Boxer’s Dinomito Spring Designs! (Anna Bowkis)
Room 7 10.30 Dazzling Doodlebug (Claire Cameron)

Room 5 2.15 Because I FELT like it! (Lorraine Ablett)

[kiwinuk]

Don't think I've confirmed that I've received my next CJ. Its Bevvie's 'what I love about where I live"

Emma - Am I correct in thinking your going to Bonanza? If so, are you going both days? fancy a purple rain meet up? Also if you are can I bring the cj for you (if I get it done at the 12 hour crop on Saturday)

Yes I am going to bonanza. Yes I would like to meet everyone. And yes bring the CJ along saves sending it. So looking forward to it. My boss wasn't going to let me have the time off, until I told him how much I had spent. But next year I have to ask before I pay for it all. So I am going to enjoy myself to the max.

[rosie]

Can you let me know your plan for Bonanza so we can try and work out a time for everyone.

[kiwinuk]

Hi I have a class for bonanza Fri 10:30am 2:15pm and 3:30pm and on Sat10:30am 1:00pm and 2:15pm. Also going to the party, and because a VIP I have free scrapping sessions when ever.

[Scrappin Sarah]

ok, this is going to be fun!! Sarah - you are going to be shattered!!!!

Emma - what time are you going to get there on Saturday?

Verity - what are you up to?

Anyone else going ?? Treenie/ Bevvie???

[Scrappin Sarah]

I know Rosie - I think i'm a little mad really but I can crop any time and wanted to make the most of the classes available.

Last year I ended up booking more over the weekend and I hated having to pay the extra £3 per class

[rosie]

Yeah that makes sense, especially if you have been before and know what to expect. Last year was my first year, I only went for the day and did 3 classes but I was shattered at the end of the day, so Good luck!

Don't worry Rebecca, you get a break now anyway as i don't have one to send you at the moment!! :)

[4kidsat147]

ooo great, I don't feel guilty if I have none in the house as it's not yet on my todo list then. :lol:

[Scrappin Sarah]

Rebecca you can send it when you want to. This week would be great as DS1 is at home from uni this week revising for his exams so he should hear the postie when she/he calls.

I haven't started the "home" cj yet and this week is just manic. I've just realised that I have been booked on 2 training courses on my day off on Wednesday and i've still got to get everything ready for Bonanza (headless chicken mode coming soon!!!!)

[4kidsat147]

Ok, hun will be in the post in the next couple of days depending on order quantities, I'll post on here when I've sent it. :)

[bevvie]

I am slowly catching up girls you will all be pleased to here .... suddenly dawned on me this morning that I am holding you all up !!! ..... I am not likely to be able to get to the post office until Thursady morning but I intend to get them in the post then ....

Huge hugs to you all

Bev
xx

[rosie]

Yeah!! I'm a happy bunny, I'm a happy bunny!! :D

I've actually managed to complete the CJ WOOHOO!! ready for Emma at Bonanza.

Bonanza girls - Meeting up is a nightmare, looked at everyone schedule we have some very busy ladies. So the classes start at 9.15 so how about we meet up at about 8.45am on the Saturday morning? or do some of you want a lie in? :o surely not..?
I know most of you (if not all) are VIP's but I'm not :( and meeting on the Friday may be difficult as I'm working. What do you all think? Who can make it?
I really would love a picture of us all and then I could post it on here, for everyone else to make a copy if required. (even though it will have me on it)

Right enough of my rambling.

Rose

[Scrappin Sarah]

Is everyone going to "Friday Night Party"? We could meet there
If not 8.45am should be OK for me - i've got a class at 9.15

[rosie]

I have a class at 9.15 as well, but I'm not going to the party night :(

Unless you guys want to meet at the party and then I try and catch up with some of you later.

[bevvie]

Rosie 8.45 on sat sounds fine but I have a useless memory so I am going to PM u my moby number so if I am not there u or someone can text me to hurry me along :)

[kiwinuk]

8.45 would be great but where?????

[rosie]

Perhaps outside the crop room? I'm sure you will all know where that is by Saturday morning.

So far we have.
Bevvie - Bev
Dominiuk - Emma
Rosie - Rose

Emma - are you still ok to have the cj? ok if i give it to you then?

Its very exciting.

Rose

[Scrappin Sarah]

That's fine with me too - I just hope I remember!!! I have made a little tag book with all my classes in and have laminated it so I cant write it in there either.

[kiwinuk]

Perhaps outside the crop room? I'm sure you will all know where that is by Saturday morning.

So far we have.
Bevvie - Bev
Dominiuk - Emma
Rosie - Rose

Emma - are you still ok to have the cj? ok if i give it to you then?

Its very exciting.

Rose

Yep hand it over and I will be there!!!!.
I will bug people till some one says they are rosie or bevvie. See you there!!!

[rosie]

Ok, so meeting up is

Bevvie - Bev
Dominiuk - Emma
Rosie - Rose
Scrappin Sarah - Sarah

I'm sure Verity will be up for it as well.

Oooo getting exciting.

[VerityT]

I'll try my best! I'm a bit of a sleeper-innerer though, so will try my hardest! Got new carpet throughout the house today, so only just got the PC up and running again.

[rosie]

Well I had a fantastic time at Bonanza, and it was brilliant to meet IRL Sarah, Verity, Bev and Emma. Sorry I didn't get chance to have a chat Emma. I hope you all had a good time as well and got home safely.

Thanks for meeting up and as for the picture apart from me on it, its great.

[Scrappin Sarah]

Hi everyone (waves) - it was so great to meet you Rosie, Verity, Emma and Bev. So sorry not to have met everyone else.

[bevvie]

Hi all

great to meet and see u all ..... I had such a fab time ... there were a few teething probs but on the whole a fantastic weekend that I completely loved ... learnt lots and spent more!!

On CJ front ... I just have to finish some journaling and 2 will be out to alison tomorrow :)

[Kat the Cobbler]

I haven't had a CJ for ages??? I think there was a delay on one so I assume I'll get one this time round.

[rosie]

On the CJ front, I handed "What you love about where you live" to Emma. Verity has given me 'Favourite Destination' cj.

This is the last entry I have to do.

I'm happy about that but also a little sad that its coming to an end.

[ditzzy]

Thanks Bevvie looking forward to recieving the c j's , WHICH IS THE FIRST ONE TO DO ? I am a little stupid not sure if I am reading the list right!!

TREENIE have you recieved "by the sea" yet? That is one you should have had ages ago but Sarah N I was late getting it. once I get the other TWO from Bevvie I will try to do them quickly so Sarah gets them . then you and we can catch up

GLAD TO HEAR YOU ALL HAD A GOOD TIME AT bonanza . off to work now .
Have a good day everyone . ALISON

[Kat the Cobbler]

I haven't had a CJ for ages. the last one I had was the relaxation one and I posted that at the start of April. I haven't had one since.

[ditzzy]

TREENIE! I didnt send Sarah" By the sea" until mid April and that should have gone 3rd April. This was because my dad was ill . Then Bevvie was unwell so I didnt recieve storage solutions to send to Sarah on the 24th April. Now I am waiting for Musical mayhem as well . Bevvie has said she hopes to send them soon. I will get them to Sarah as soon as I can . See if Sarah has finished by the sea. Then hopefully we can get things moving again.

Take care Alison

[Kat the Cobbler]

I'll see what i can find out. and let you all know.

[Sharon NI]

I am lost now.... by the sea cj i still have it it is nearly finished...i was away at the end of april and got started on it last week will post it this week so which one m i supposed to be doing next?

[ditzzy]

WHOOPS I DONT MEAN SARAH I MEAN SHARON N I is the person I send to . It was Sarahs I posted !!!!!! Even more confused now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ditzzy]

Hello Sharon ARE you still there ? It should have been storage solutions but I havent had it yet Then Musical mayhem As soon as I get them I will get cracking. Have some ideas as long as know one else has usedc them !

Trying to fit everything in when we are thrown curve balls is difficult . Hope all is well with you.
Warmest wishes Alison

[Kat the Cobbler]

Cool all sorted. I think it got confusing because my dad was ill at the same time as alison's dad so we all sort of lost track of what was going on.

[ditzzy]

Great . I hope your dad is getting better . My dad seems to be coping again touch wood. All the best Alison

[4kidsat147]

I don't know if it helps, but I'm DUE to have Sarah's by the Sea CJ which will be the last one I have to do......

[Sharon NI]

Hi, Alision, yes I remember at the same time your dad and treenie dad was ill, and my DH took a heart attack and mum was in hospital with a knee replacement hope everyone is on the mend now.... mum and dh is much better now and things are slowly getting back to normal at my end.

[bevvie]

Hiya .... I feel really bad as I seem to have caused an awful lot of confusion.....

Glad to hears everyones relatives are feeling better. I finished the journalimg on 2 CJ's last night and was hoping to get out and post today but work got rather hectic ... april was our year end and so I have soooooo much work on its inreal. But I will def be going tomorrow lunctime come hell or high water!!!!

I was also supposed to be finishing Strong Women CJ by today so I will complete this during the week and post later in week........ I just want to do this one justice as the book is looking so lovely and I want to have a read through aswell ......

I have received my last Journal now .... hand given to me by Emma over the weeeknd and its things that make me smile :) So this one will then be completed in the usual time ....

HUGE SORRY AND HUGS FOR THOSE I HAVE HELD UP ITS REALLY NOT LIKE ME TO BE SO BEHIND AND UNORGANISED!!!! xxxxxxxx

[ditzzy]

I am sorry Bevvie didnt mean to make you feel bad . We have all had our worries so things cannot be helped. Hopefully all our relatives and yourself are on the mend now. We were just confused and trying to sort out whats what. Trouble is it never sounds write writing things down quickly tahn talking face to face.

SO PLEASE DONT WORRY .WE WILL FINISH WHEN EVER IT SUITS YOU.

TAKE CARE WARMEST WISHES ALISON

[ditzzy]

It wont sound write if I spell things wrong as well . Hope the last message made sence.!!!!!!! Think its best if I sign off before I cause any more trouble!

Sharon I am really glad to hear your d.h and mum are getting better too .

Hugs and wishes Alison

[bumpybecky]

I'm glad everyone's relatives are on the mend :)

I'm sorry but I've not posted today :( I've got the Millenium Kids TV CJ and haven't managed to finish my entry yet. I'm all bunged up with cold while streaming with hayfever - my sinuses don't know what to do! :rolleyes: I'll let you all know when I've finished and posted it :)

[Scrappin Sarah]

Hi everyone. Please will everyone stop worrying. We all have buzy lives and i'm a great believer that family and work commitments have to come before scrapping (unfortunately :lol:)

I have received Becky's "Relaxation" CJ. I also still have Verity's "Home" CJ. Both CJ's are absolutely fabulous!

I'm sorry I haven't posted Verity's to you Becky - I meant to do it yesterday but I ended up sorting loads of photos to stick in the profiles of the children who are leaving Playgroup in July and it took hours!!!

[VerityT]

Hey Becky, it's fine with me if you wait until Friday to post as it'll then be likely to show up on Saturday when I'm home to receive it. Otherwise I have to get up early on Saturday (and everyone who was at Bonanza knows I hate early mornings!!! ;) ) to go to the post office and collect! Take your time chica :) Relax and send later - honest - no probs!

Bevvie, Sarah, Rachel and Rosie - great to meet you. Is anyone going to bravely show the rest of the group their photos? :D

[4kidsat147]

Sorry, but am I due a CJ at the moment? Or am I waiting for a delayed one? I should be getting Sarah's by the Sea.

[rosie]

Errr....Verity - NO!!!

Unless I cut me out, then its a great photo.

[bevvie]

HOORAAHHHHH!!!!! Alsion you will be pleased to know that I have sent the 2 CJ's to you today .... I will get the Strong Women CJ to you probably Monday /..... as I have a crop on Saturday so will get that one finished then!.

PHEW! I got there in the end ladies!! :)

[Sharon NI]

i have finished the by the sea cj will post it first thing tomorrow morning!

[ditzzy]

Hello Bevvie

Thank you for the c j 's .I recieved them on Friday. I will get my skates on and do them in the next couple of days. [hopefully!!!]

I have to get them done because I am on holiday soon THE 1ST OF JUNE. i AM PUTTING IT IN PRINT TO REMIND MYSELF ITS NOT LONG NOW!!! so much to do and so little time.

I hope you are fully recovered now. Take care . Warmest wishes Alison

[bumpybecky]

I've not received Verity's CJ yet from Sarah. Have you had a chance to post it yet Sarah? do I need to worry or not?! :unsure:

I posted the kdis TV to Verity on Friday so hopefully she's got it now :)

[VerityT]

Becky - just to let you know the cj arrived on Saturday - thanks! :)

[Scrappin Sarah]

Becky - I posted Verity's CJ to you today. It has grown into such a huge CJ that I had to get a bigger envelope for it!!! So hopefully it will be with you tomorrow!

[bumpybecky]

thanks for letting me know Sarah and Verity :)

does anyone else quite like the lull between CJs? I like knowing I've not got one waiting needing to be done!

[4kidsat147]

Normally I do like the lull, but having said that this is the last entry now so I'm just keen to get it home.....when it catches up.

[bevvie]

Whats actually quite funny is I am starting to recognise various peoples styles and can spot who various LO's belong to now without checking!!

I have finished my entry but I just need to chop up a piccie for the tag and then I can post the strong women CJ tomorrow and I will be up to date then.

Apart from the last CJ is probably due to be posted really soon :)

[Sharon NI]

I have posted by the seea this morning so hopefully you should get it tomorrow

[Kat the Cobbler]

thanks sharon. I'll warn my mum to listen out for the postie.

[VerityT]

Hi all :) Just a quick note to say that I'm going away on holiday on Saturday for 2 weeks to the Loire Valley (can't wait!!!) I know - terrible timing! I'm going to miss all the excitement of everyone getting their cjs back :(

Anyway, Rosie - I'll send yours before I go, and Becky - no need to rush with mine as I won't be able to pick it up from the post office until I get back so you can keep it an extra two weeks if you want!

[bumpybecky]

hope you have a fabby holiday Verity :)

sorry not to have let you know sooner, but I finally have your CJ! I missed the postie at the beginning of last week, and then it rained non-stop and it's over 40 min round trip walk to the sorting office so I waited until DH could collect it. He did so on Friday, just before we left to go anwayfor the weekend!

Anyway, it's here now :D it's fabby but so huge! not sure what I'm going to do yet - will have to have a long hard think! :wacko:

[rosie]

Oooh Verity how exciting

for you - holiday

for me - I might be the first to receive my CJ back!! Woohoo! I'm excited.

Have a great time Verity!!

[Sharon NI]

treenie did you get the by the sea cj?

[Kat the Cobbler]

Yes sorry I've been so busy I forgot to tell everyone. It's been received and done so I'll send it on to rebecca tomorrow.

[VerityT]

Thanks guys! I'm even more excited now and have gone into list making mode :)

Rosie - I sent it TODAY (can't believe I'm being so organised!) Can't wait 'til you get it back - it's amazing, beautiful, lush, I could go on, but you get the drift - there's some stunning work in there. I tried a new technique I learnt at Bonanza in my entry - you may recognise it if you did the Making Memories class about scrapping yourself... Anyway, there's one more double page LO space left in the back, so I was presuming you're planning to do one more yourself to fill the book?

[rosie]

Wow how exciting.

I can't do another layout I might spoil it ;) :D

[rosie]

You guys are amazing!!!

I received my CJ from Verity yesterday (Thanks Verity) and its truly amazing. The work that has gone into is fantastic, I haven't shown the kids yet I need to pick a moment when they won't grab it and damage it. Thank you all so SO much I really appreciate it.

Need to get my skates on now and finish Emma's. Hoping to post it next week.


Thanks again everyone
Rose

[4kidsat147]

Right the by the Sea has been received. :)

I will get it done ASAP, maybe tonight if not over the weekend and get it sent home.....

[Scrappin Sarah]

Rebecca don't worry if you can't get it done before the date - I know what its like when its half term :lol:

Becky - i'm on holiday this week so I will try and get yours done on Monday. Its scary that its the last entry isn't it :lol:

[Sharon NI]

Rosie glad you got your CJ! I think I have two more CJ entries treenie's musical mayhem and 4kidsat147 's storage solutions. I do not have any CJ at the moment to do.

I cant wait to see my CJ

[kiwinuk]

I have finished my last entry, tonight and will send it off in the morning. so look out for it Bevvie. It is on it's way. I can't believe I have finished. Just have to wait for my one now. I am so excited about getting it back. And sad will miss looking at everyones entries.

[rosie]

Emma, I haven't started yours yet, but my aim is to do it this week and get it in the post to you, so hopefully by the weekend you should have it back. Will let you know when I've posted it.

[Scrappin Sarah]

Becky - i'm back from holiday but haven't had time to start your gorgeous cj yet.

I've come back to a nitemare week - horse show meetings (one today and one Thursday night), Parents Night at the Pre-School where I work (tonight). My middle son is doing his GCSE's at the moment and needs picking up/dropping off before/after exams - loads of holiday washing.

I really want to do your entry but want to do it well (does that make sense?) Good thing its all about relaxation - perhaps I need to read everyone's entries and chill out for a bit :lol:

Sorry to rant on how is everyone?

[4kidsat147]

All done and finished - just. I'm actually really pleased how this turned out, and I only used cardstock. :huh:

Will get it in the post to you tomorrow Sarah. I hope it survives the journey home as a few pages are coming loose, but I didn't want to try and rescue them incase I made it worse. :unsure:

[Scrappin Sarah]

OOOhhhhhhhhhh i'm really excited now!!!

[4kidsat147]

All posted today......stalk that postie tomorrow Sarah.

We're all nearly done now. *sob*....It'll be a shame to loose the blinkie - it matches my signature so well. :)

[Scrappin Sarah]

Postie stalkin as from tomorrow :lol:

[Sharon NI]

I nwould need to do two more cjs before i get my cj back, i do not have any cj yet

[Kat the Cobbler]

I'm waiting for two as well then (I think). I'm on holiday next week so if you get one Sharon and get it done straight away please could you post it after teh 17th. Cheers.

[Scrappin Sarah]

Hi everyone - I just want to say

THANK YOU!, THANK YOU!,

:huh: :huh: :mellow:

[Miss S]

Hiya everyone,

I sent out a pm to you all a day or two ago and have had most of the replies back. I am still waiting for replies from a couple of people Could you all please let me know asap :)


This is how things look at the moment:

1. Scrappin Sarah - has bumpybecky's CJ and has her own back
2. bumpybecky - Verity's CJ
3. VerityT -
4. rosie - has her own back
5. dominiuk - has her own back
6. bevvie - has Ditzzy's CJ and has posted Sharon's CJ. has her own back
7. ditzzy - has Sharon's CJ, Treenie's CJ and 4kidsat147's CJ.
8. Sharon NI - has none
9. treenie - has none
10. 4kidsat147 - has none


I think most CJ's are accounted for. We still need to know where treenie and 4kidsat147's CJ's are. Who has these please? I think ditzzy must have them - can you confirm ditzzy? :)


Also, Once the CJ has finished, I will give you each a rating :D

[rosie]

I have posted Dominiuk CJ yersterday.

Glad you like your book Bev

[Miss S]

[kiwinuk]

Alison - Just to let you know that I have sent you the Stong women CJ today .... your one will be to u soon!

Once again ladies sorry for holding this up ... I know these things happen.

I have really enjoyed getting to know you all and also your different styles. I loved learning new techniques and ideas from you all as well as meeting several of you in real life at Bonanza. (that reminds me I must get the piccies developed)

Thanks again for all your understanding and friendship and don't any of you lose touch on the boards

Bev

Things are better this week - I didn't get the job I went for but have just realised how loving my family is when things go pear shaped and what wonderful friends I have

[bevvie]

Sarah - Sorry to hear you are having a bad time, but it obviously sounds like you ahve a great support network.

Hope you are feeling better soon.

Keep Smiling

Bev

[ditzzy]

Bevvie thanks for Strong women Its looking really good.

REALLY SORRY TO HOLD THINGS UP EVERYONE. HOPE YOU ARE ALL WELLAND ENJOYING THE SUMMER WHEN WE GET IT!! wet here this morning.

OFF TO WORK NOW. Take care . Warmest wishes Alison xxxx

[bumpybecky]

Hi all :)

sorry not to have been about - things have been very busy here :( I hate busy!

Sarah, please don't worry about the CJ. I expect it's the last thing on your mins at the moment! whenever you feel ready is fine :) have a hug int eh meantime ((((Sarah)))).

Does anyone know if Verity is back from holiday yet? I've still got her CJ. I must confess it's not exactly ready to post though :o I must get on with it!

love to all :)

[Scrappin Sarah]

Hi everyone. Thanks for all the hugs and kindness - i'm getting over the job loss although still very cross with the way I have been treated.

Becky - I posted your CJ today so keep an eye out for the postie. Hopefully it will be with you tomorrow. I hope you like what I have done. It was so hard doing the last entry when everyone elses is so fantastic.

[bumpybecky]

Hi Sarah,

I had a card through this morning, so will trya dn collect this afternonn :)

getting very excited now!

[VerityT]

Hi Everyone, I'm back! Good to see some have their cjs back and are happy and glad I haven't missed all the excitement :)

[rosie]

I'm getting all excited for Becky, can't wait to see her reaction even though I haven't seen most of the entries.

[bumpybecky]

sorry to be so slow!

I collected my CJ on Friday afternoon, but felt very, very guilty about being so slow with Verity's entry, so I didn't open my CJ! I thought maybe it would give me the incentive to get off my butt and do Verity's CJ pages :lol:

I had a very hectic weekend again and hummed and haaaaed a bit over what I was going to do - Verity's CJ looked so stunning I got scared! :o

Anyway, I finally managed to complete my bit for Verity this afternoon and posted the CJ off after school. Hopefully it'll be with you very soon :)

And then! then I opened my CJ :D:D:D:D:D:D

Oh wow! I'm sooooo impressed! it's fantastic :D thank you all so very very much :) I feel more relaxed already!

Off to have another really good look now :)

[Scrappin Sarah]

So glad you like it Becky :lol:

[VerityT]

How exciting! :) Glad you like it :) :) :)

I've been on a training course and got home today to find a card - will be at the post office first thing Saturday :wub:

[rosie]

Oooo another one ready to receive, how exciting.

How's everyone else doing with their entries?

[Kat the Cobbler]

Any news on any that I need.

[Sharon NI]

Any news on any that I need.


I still dont have any cj's yet.

[VerityT]

OH. MY. GOODNESS.

:wub: :wub: :wub: It's gorgeous! :wub: :wub: :wub:

Thank you so much, all of you, for your effort! :wub: I picked it up this morning and it's just stunning! You're all so CLEVER and I love the way you've used your imaginations to come up with unusual ideas - what an awesome bunch of chicks! :wub:

I was surprised by how huge it was (sorry about that - didn't realise way back when we started just how much it would grow). And thanks to whoever stuck it in a plastic bag for me - I'd forgotten that bit in the instructions :rolleyes:

Thanks again everyone - you're fabulous :D

Verity

[Kat the Cobbler]

Does anyone know where my CJ is? I don't mean to rush you all but I really am getting frustrated with CJ's at the moment because I seem to be constantly waiting for hold ups on both the ones I'm in. I know some people work quicker than others but I'm just a bit worried because no one really seems to know where mine is.

[rosie]

Glad you like it Verity

Treenie - I understand your frustration, I'm sure we will get this sorted.

[Sharon NI]

Hiya everyone :) Just checking in to see how everything is going (any probs?) and to update the info. Is this still how it stands?

1. Scrappin Sarah - has bumpybecky's CJ and has her own back
2. bumpybecky - Verity's CJ
3. VerityT -
4. rosie - has her own back
5. dominiuk - has her own back
6. bevvie - has Ditzzy's CJ and has posted Sharon's CJ. has her own back
7. ditzzy - has Sharon's CJ, Treenie's CJ and 4kidsat147's CJ.
8. Sharon NI - has none
9. treenie - has none
10. 4kidsat147 - has none


Treenie, Ditzzy has your CJ. See the above post.

[Kat the Cobbler]

This is where i got confused though because she said over a week ago she was going to post two (not saying which two) but you haven't received any either.

[Sharon NI]

No the last CJ I got was by the sea and i did it and posted it on 18/05

[4kidsat147]

So mine is there too? Has anyone emailed her?

[bumpybecky]

that post is out of date though isn't it - I've got mine and Verity has hers now too :)

hope you get it sorted Treenie soon :)

[4kidsat147]

This is where i got confused though because she said over a week ago she was going to post two (not saying which two) but you haven't received any either.


Just so you know I've PM'd Miss S to see if she can find out my CJ's is.....I'm all done on my entries now and I'm just waiting for mine returned, but it must be frustrating for others who are also waiting to complete entries too.

[Scrappin Sarah]

Hope it all gets sorted for you all soon

[4kidsat147]

MissS did get back to me today......within minutes, so hopefully her PM to Ditzzy will get some answers.

[ditzzy]

I hope you are there Treenie and Rebecca I have pm Sharon and Sarah to explain things .

My daughter has now decided to change her wedding again and it is now 11th july so have been a little distracted!!

[Kat the Cobbler]

Thank you Alison. I'm sure they are lovely.

[Sharon NI]

Thanks for letting me know.......:wub:

[Kat the Cobbler]

woohoo. I haven't got a clue what to do for Rebecca's. I'd had a brilliant idea at the start but I don't think it'll work now (unless by some miracle my room is tidied in the next few weeks!!)

[Kat the Cobbler]

Sharon do you have mine now as well???

[Sharon NI]

Treenie, No I dont have I only have Rebecca storage solutions which i will finish off today and post it on Monday

[Kat the Cobbler]

cool. I just thought that alison was posting them one day after the other.

[4kidsat147]

I don't want to start sounding funny, but I'm in 2 CJ;s at the moment and both seem to be loosing the plot a bit......this one should have been finished long ago, now I'm not pointing the finger at any one person/persons but can we please have some activity and posting from people with updates...even if it's I've got this and plan to get it done by x date?

Thanks.....:wub:

[Miss S]

right.. sorry peeps, been a bit busy with kits and challenges and one thing and another! :wacko:


Here is the update:


1. Scrappin Sarah - has her own back
2. bumpybecky - has her own back
3. VerityT - has her own back
4. rosie - has her own back
5. dominiuk - has her own back
6. bevvie - has Ditzzy's CJ
7. ditzzy - still has Sharon's CJ and Treenie's CJ
8. Sharon NI - has 4kidsat147's CJ
9. treenie - has none
10. 4kidsat147 - has none



ditzzy, did you post treenie's CJ on Tuesday 4th as promised? If not, could you please post Treenie's and Sharon's CJ's asap :). I hope that doesn't come across wrong, we are just running quite behind now and everyone should have had theirs back by 5th June.

bevvie, do you still have ditzzy's CJ? - I may have missed a post somewhere, so sorry if you've already said.

[ditzzy]

Hello just manged a quick look on here and see everyone is getting really mad with me, I am so sorry but things strated going wrong when i had the last two so late then I went away . Since coming back I have had so many things on that I have been unable to catch up . Treenies will be in the post tomorrow and Sharons not until the wedding has finished on Tuesday, Treenies didnt make tthe post because we had a calamity with my daughters dress and I am sorry but she came first! I hate letting people down anitially it wasnt my fault now I realise I am the one holding things up.
All I can do is apoligise profusly and say It is not normally my way.
I hope everyone has been pleased with my efforts so far and I hope that Treenie , Rebecca[4kids at 147] and Sharon will be to. I have taken this circle journal very seriously and hate the way things are now

I hope this helps to clear up any bad feelings .

Warmest Wishes Alison

[Miss S]

no one is getting mad, please don't think that :). I am sure everyone will love the entries you have done! I also hope your daughter has a fab wedding!

[ditzzy]

This is my third attempt to clear things up evrytime I reply it keeps asking me to log on here again . I will try again!!

I am so very sorry everyone is so angry with me . I have taken this cj very seriosly and tried to do the best entrys I can . I hope so far everyone has been happy with . Heres hoping Sharon Treenie and Rebecca will be to.

Having initially recieving all the journals so late made it difficult for me and now with this wedding things have got out of hand. Yes Treenie I did promise Tuesday then my daughter was upset about her dress so I am afraid she came first. Yours will be posted tomorrow Sharon I will try for yours to but it might have to wait until after the wedding on Tuesday.[11th] .

This is not my usuall behaviour so once again all I can do is apologise profusly to one an all.

Warmest wishes Alison

[4kidsat147]

Alison from what I remember it's not all your fault......after all we should have been finished a month ago. Everyone understands that you've got a hectic time at the moment with your daughters wedding, all we ask is an update every now and then (and not just from you) this thread just goes quiet for too long.

Have a GREAT time at the wedding. :)

[Sharon NI]

Hi Alision, don't worry about mine just enjoy your daughters wedding and hope you have a fantastic day!

I am nearly finished with Rebecca's entry, just photos to take and put in hope to get it in the post by Tues the latest.

[Kat the Cobbler]

Alison, we're not blaming you honest but as Rebecca says it does get frustrating when you don't here anything from anyone. That's not just you that is everyone.

[bumpybecky]

((((Alison)))) sounds like things are very hectic for you right now :( please don't think anyone is blaming you though - these things happen :)

I'm sure Rebecca and Kat feel a bit happier knowing what's going on. I think if it were me I'd just like to know what was happening, even if it is news of dealys, it's better to know that than not to know anything.

Anyway, hope that was the last of the wedding hitches and everything goes completely to plan from now on :) hope you all have a great day :):)

[Sharon NI]

I can honestly tell you Alision work in the cj entries is fab!

[ditzzy]

Thanks very much. I have just finished Treenies so it will definately be posted tomorrow. Treenie I am sorry if it is a little bulky but I find it very difficult to stay neat and tidy and all in one place!! Hope you like it though.

Sharon I will really get it done by the end of the week.

Have a great week every one . Warmest wishes Alison

[bevvie]

I still have yours Alison and I hope to gt it finished in the next day or so.

I know I initially held things up and unfortunatley real life does have a tendency to take over but I have a crop this week so I intend to get the CJ entry finished then so I can get it to you by the end of the week ....

Hope the rest of you are well.

Bev
xx

[rosie]

Alison your work is absolutely Fab, so I'm sure all the girls will be as pleased as i was.

[4kidsat147]

A BIG THANKS for all the updates....I know sometimes it's hard, one to remember to update but also to post if your behind. Apologies are the worst thing to have to write. But I didn't put my post to push blame around, just got a bit frustrated at not hearing anything. (I put one on my other CJ too)....so thanks to all for giving an update.

[Sharon NI]

I got your cj this morning treenie its gorgeous!

I have 2 places left in my patterned grosgrain ribbon swop if anyone is interested?here is the link

[Sharon NI]

Hello Sharon just checking to see if the cj has arrived yet ? the last two reached you very quickly lets hope yours has done the same.

Bevvie are you okay? haven't heard from you for a while. If you are finding things difficult at the mo and dont want to do an entry in mine do not worry just send it back. If you can do one, brilliant.

Hope you are all enjoying the lovely weather we are having. Warmest wishes Alison

[4kidsat147]

Are we nearly there yet? I want to hold a CJ and I'm waiting on this...

[Kat the Cobbler]

Me too Rebecca. Mine's been in the planning for weeks.

[ditzzy]

Hello are you both still out there? Treenie and Kids147 I am still waiting on Bevvie for my cj have tried getting in touch with her but to no avail and I haven't seen her on the boards . She said it was coming about a month ago ruffly after her crop. I hope she is okay.
I would love to do another one . You probably think no way with us . But I am not usually late for things like this. I recieved them late then it all went pear shaped.
I MIGHT HAVE TO WRITE TO HER TO. Take care warmest wishes alison

[Kat the Cobbler]

I hope she's alright. It's a bit worrying that we haven't heard anything.
