Ooops... looks like spring cleaning on UKS! :)

Well, ladies - shouldn't be too long until you receive your own CJs back ... I'd say probably early May?

How's everyone doing? Enjoying sunshine?

I'll be doing some CJ entries today and finish my mum's birthday album (tomorrow is all housework more or less!! UGH).

Speak to you later!

[Barbara]

Just an update on where I am with CJs.

I have completed MLA and will get it in the post to Elin this week. That means I still have to receive and do the Birthday Book & The Place Where I Live.

Barbara

[Mrs Mac]

I'm lost, dont thinkI have anything at the moment, I will ask Tracy and then tell Pauline whats coming her way.

[fiona3103]

Barbara, birthday book will be on it's way to you this week.

[Kat]

Anne,

I'm not able to send out the CJ before tomorrow lunch time, sorry ... lots of paper work to be done etc.

Promise it will go out on 24th April though!

Still doing last bits and bobs for holiday in Germany!! :)

Hoppy Easter all! :)

[Mrs Mac]

Morning Girls.
Kat you were up late last night, burning the midnight oil and lots of paperwork, you'll need a choc egg just to keep you going.

I have asked and I have nothing ATM Pauline so when Tracy catches up you'll get them as soon as I can turn them around.

Have a nice weekend , especially to those who get time of work, enjoy.

[pmk]

Hi all, just signing in on the new thread!

[Elin]

Hiya Pauline!

[pmk]

Hi Elin! Was weird to be sitting along from you at the crop yesterday.. putting faces to 'virtual' people, odd experience!!

[Elin]

It was a bit wasn't it! We all need to mingle more next time I think!:D

[pmk]

Absolutely! Must confess that I was really glad that Heather and her friend were there cos I stuck to them all day terrified to mingle! Must try harder in May... one of my teamies is coming then which will be the first time I meet her. Very odd, like internet dating!!

[Kat]

Whooohooo... got the Guiding Memories done ... will be going 1st class to Ann tomorrow ...

And then it's just the last CJ to be done to go home to Ann.

Last posting date was set for 1 May - how is everyone doing for that? Sorry for holding up some CJs ... there's no problem in extending the last posting date by a week or so.

Unless anyone has objections...???

[Mrs Mac]

I'm sitting with two but only got them on Saturday, will pass them to Pauline as soon as I an, maybe on is her so I will go and look and send the other first.

Ok I have poems to do and then you get your own onw home Pauline.

[sharonfruit]

I've got Kat's CJ at the moment. So, once that's completed, it will be winging it's way home to Kat.

I have to say that I've been really impressed by all the work in these CJs. Every one has been a pleasure to look at :)

Sharon xx

[Elin]

Karen you will be pleased to know I have the beautiful miss MLA! Thanks Barbara.

This is going to take some research!:o!! But it is gorgeous.

That means I only have Tracy's birthday book to come & I'm sending that directly to Elfin for her to complete.

Kat not sure if I'll have it for the 1st May.

[fiona3103]

Elin I got you cj today, I will have to go and get some piccies now.

[Kat]

Ladies,

I think we have a very understanding group here, so I propose we give ourselves another week - so last posting date is aimed for as 8/5/2006.

But that is also not written in stone. If the CJs are still taking a little longer that shouldn't make any difference to any ratings I have to do at the end of it (and none of them will be negative).

Hope everyone agrees with this.

ANN: Little problem with the PO today, got there last minute and the clerk was sooo keen to leave she put the parcel through 2nd class ... it should be with you Friday.

[Elin]

Sounds great to me Kat:rolleyes:

[Kat]

Mmmh... could anyone here give me the details for the Perth Shop (address/phone number etc?) ? DH and I are planning on going to Perth on Monday but I have the funny feeling the shop may be closed because of May Day bank holiday???!!! :wacko:

[fiona3103]

Not so sure about the the 8/05 as I have The place I live to do (in my hands)and then greatest achievements still to get.

[scrapbookannie]

Hi there - just signing in to the new thread too!

Would appreciate the extra time here also - to catch up with things being received .
Getting excited about seeing my own CJ now girlies!!

Thanks.

Anne
:)

[Kat]

No probs, ladies - as I said before ... we can still stretch the timeframe.

[toothfairytrace]

Hi Girls!

Just found the new thread!!

I received MLA today - it's looking lovely!!

Sorry again for being a bit late with the poems one - still got something to "add" but will send that on at a later date!

Kat - did you get the Perth shop details?

[Kat]

Tracy,

I got the details from Heather (formerly Heather K) - but wouldn't mind getting a phone number ... or maybe anyone knows whether the shop will be open May Day Monday??

[Mrs Mac]

pauline, poems on its way to you, that leaves me with yours, it will be home soon!

sorry Pauline, lost your addy so now that I have found it I will post first class tomorrow.

[Barbara]

Elin

I've just posted Tracy's Birthday Book 1st class this morning, so you should get it tomorrow. Then only one more to go :)

Barbara

[Elin]

Thanks Barbara. I can't believe this is the last one I've to do in any of my CJ circles!!

[fiona3103]

Barbara,

[Elin]

[Kat]

Ladies,

last posting date has already passed but we have several asking for another one. Can I suggest we say 23rd May?

Is everyone ok with that?

[toothfairytrace]

I would struggle a wee bit! Got SaG this weekend! :) But I can certainly have it done by the end of that week!!??

[Kat]

Ah... I knew there was something ... and I believe that Sharon will have trouble to finish my book as well...

Sooooo ... would everyone be ok with week on Saturday?

[toothfairytrace]

Fine mby me! Sorry Kat!

Karen is a SaG too so I reckon she wont mind waiting!!

[Elin]

Sounds good to me too:)

[Kat]

Ah, but that's ok, Ladies ... I hate to scrap under pressure and we all are nice people who understand that life (And Bonanza/SaG) are getting in the way of things ... ^_^

[sharonfruit]

and I believe that Sharon will have trouble to finish my book as well...


Eh no :lol: Your CJ is finished. I'm just waiting until I see you to hand it over :P

[fiona3103]

[Kat]

Geeesh.. these blinking public holidays here ... ^_^ cannae keep up with them!

It's ok to either post Saturday or Tuesday if everyone is fine with that.

[irishrainbow]

Received my CJ - the poetry one - it is absolutely fab - Thank you so much everyone for the gorgeous entries.

Sorry I haven't posted much - life has been been turned to chaos by the birth of my daughter - Shona, now nearly 11 weeks old.

Lauraxx

[toothfairytrace]

oooh Laura! Congartulations! ( and your DD - and the CJ LOL!)

I still have to add something to my entry...it's a CD of my poem in a song version...will get it to you ASAP! :)

[Kat]

Ooooh... Congrats Laura!!! :)

(did you get my CJ btw? Can't find your entry?? "Scottish Myths & Fairytales")

Anne - sorry, will be 1 day late ... will do my entry tomorrow and get DH to send it on Wednesday while I am recovering from OP ... life's really a bit weird for me the last 2 weeks (well.. actually since May! ^_^)

[fiona3103]

Hi, Barbara your CJ is all packed ready to go should be with you on wednesday.

[Mrs Mac]

Oh Laura a who new set of albums in pink is needed, I drool at the thought of a new baby to cuddle, I expect and hope that the next one in this house will be a grandchild, but not of a good few year yet.

How is baby Shona. and how are you ?

[Kat]

Oh Ladies,

just to let you know (before I'm getting totally overwhelmed with things) - THANKS SOO MUCH FOR MY CJ!!! It looks fabulous, absolutely gorgeous!!!

Hope everyone else loves their CJs as much as I do mine. :love: :wub: :wub:

[fiona3103]

My CJ is Home

THANK YOU

[irishrainbow]

I did get your CJ Kat - just after Shona was born and due to various traumas, I couldn't get a chance to sit down and do it properly. So I decided to forward it on, rather than keep delaying - my apologies. I'm hoping to make the July Crop if there is one - if you are planning to be there I'll do it then, if that is ok. I know what I want to do..just didn't get to do it!

I know what you mean about the CJs - I'm chuffed to bits with how gorgeous it is - I was showing it to my MIL and she was very impressed.

Shona is fine - will be 12 weeks old on Sunday - can't believe how the time is flying by and how much she is changing week to week. My house is a sea of pink - pink clothes. pink blankets, pink toys.LOL

Laurax

[Barbara]

Thanks Fiona, my CJ is home and is just fantastic. I have to apologise, because Elin's is not posted yet. I can't get to the PO this week as I have no cover in the shop and work the same hours as the PO! I feel bad about this as everyone else is sticking to the timescale, but I will get this sent on ASAP.

Everyone has done such lovely work.

Barbara

[Elin]

Barbara don't worry! Just whenever you can.:)

[Kat]

Laura,

I thought something like that happened, so dont' feel bad. No rush to get the CJ entry done. Was planning on going to the July one, so hopefully see you there.

[scrapbookannie]

My CJ has arrived home safely. Thank you girls for all your great entries. Off now for another wee lookie.
It'll be strange not having them coming in every so often. I'll need to do some of my own scrapping now instead !! LOL

Anne
:)

[pmk]

Feeling left out now :( :P cos mine hasn't arrived home yet...Mrs Mac, have you managed to post it yet? No probs if you haven't, just wanted to check!

[Mrs Mac]

Pauline its on its way, you will get it tomorrow, and a prize for doing Maggies CC class.

[Kat]

How many CJs are still on their way home?

Once everyone has received hers I need to wrap up this swap and do feedback etc... :)

[pmk]
