[Phoenix Tears]

HUGE appologies Ruth for taking the first post i got a bit excited :ph34r:

I'm getting "Words of Wisdom" next, time to start thinking about this one, I have no idea at the moment!

[Phoenix Tears]

Ready to post? I will be taking mine to the PO after work today!

[flossyjamba]

[Nerdbird]

Off to the PO now!

[Scraphamster]

I will be taking Ruth's up to Liz's this evening and will try to get a jiffy bag for mine so she can post it at the weekend, but she did warn me that it might be tomorrow or Saturday before she can get to the Post Office.

[Phoenix Tears]

Mousey CJ is on it's way to you Sarah, wait til you see it, it is stunning!! I want it!!

[Pinkster]

I am going the PO tomorrow as I will be back at work after a week of tonsillitis, bleaurrgh!

[Scraphamster]

Mousey CJ is on it's way to you Sarah, wait til you see it, it is stunning!! I want it!!

[katy75]

Lost you for a while there!

I've done Words of Wisdom - took ages to decide what to do. Ready to post but can't get to PO until Saturday unfortunately. Only 2 days late though, so hope that is OK.

[pigeongirl]

[maddy]

just a few finishing touches to add to the colour one, can't wait to see 'outside my window'! looks like its going to be roadworks on my LO then!!!

[katy75]

Mousey CJ is on it's way to you Sarah, wait til you see it, it is stunning!! I want it!!

I just saw this - aw thanks Roo :wub:. You made my day!

[scrappyyo]

Sorry but won't be able to get to PO until Sat:( will let you know when it goes in post.

[Phoenix Tears]

That's fine people, that's partly why I made such a gap in posting dates, so there's not too much pressure, but as long as they all posted off within the first week of the month, that still gives us three weeks to complete!!
Katy, seriously I love your journal, I might have to do a Disney journal next time round, it is so cute! Plus I want to "play" the challenge at the end!! <_< Won't say too much so I don't spoil the surprise!!

[Pinkster]

Ruth I have posted 'How does you garden grow' this morning.
Sara x x x

[Scraphamster]

Mousey CJ has arrived (and 'tis gorgeous!!). I dropped 'Whatever you want' off at Liz's this evening.

[flossyjamba]

[adele]

I have a note from the post man to say i have a packet to sign for - could be a CJ. and Posted anything goes yesterday.

[katy75]

Just an update....

I posted today to Ruth.

I haven't received a CJ yet.

Katy x

[Nerdbird]

Glad you liked it! not sure I worded the instructions very well -does it make sense now adele has done a page?

[Pinkster]

Yes it makes sense, I thought it was a really clever way to do it :)

[scrappyyo]

Sara, I got 'how does your garden grow CJ yesterday, not sure what I will do cause I'm not a great gardener, the only thing I grow well are weeds:lol::lol:

On another note, I went to PO yesterday but I had just missed the collection and it would have ment that the CJ would be sitting in PO all over the bank hol weekend, so I took it home again, will post on Tue, sorry:(

[flossyjamba]

I am hosting a trading pages swap, anyone interested? I really enjoyed taking part in the cybercrop one so I'm doing another! link in my sig

[katy75]

She has an excuse - I'm 33!!!

[Pinkster]

Have posted 'Anything Goes ' to Yolanda today, watch out for the postie :)

[pigeongirl]

it was really fantastic , the cast are amazing and really throw themselves into it , they have changed the story a bit to make it more about the other characters as well and changed a few of the songs making them ensemble pieces rather that just troy and his bint , it works better like that and it was great being in a theatre where all the kids were clapping along to the songs at the end ..
best part ( watch out for the guy pretending to be an earthworm in the drama detention ... he had me and sarah in stitches )
well worth the money and we are now lookinginto going back to the hippodrome to see mary poppins as i really love the theatre space so much
seren had a great time and i am sure you all will too
katy .. go .. go .. kidnapp a small child to take as cover if you must but go

[francis2002]

Posting colours today

[scrappyyo]

Sara, got anything goes today:) looks good so far

[katy75]

I'll be posting tomorrow :). I really must find someone I can dupe into going to HSM, maybe I can bribe OH. He really wants a WII!!!

[flossyjamba]

missed a parcel this week but its being redelivered today. not expecting anything other than Hannah's "My Other Self"

[flossyjamba]

have received 'my other self'

love it!!! got dd2 to pick a challenge for me - and I like it a lot but its not something I would have thought of!!

[katy75]

Sorry I didn't get to the PO today - will post asap.

[Pinkster]

Glad that the cj has arrived safely Yolanda. Just wanted to be a bit sneaky and post about the cj I'm doing on here if anyone is interested, hope you don't mind Ruth

It's an eco-friendly recyling one as I missed the last one so thought I'd do my own, the thread is here (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/boards/showthread.php?t=225539) if anyone is interested, Sara x x x

[Phoenix Tears]

No worries, I would probably join but I have promised myself that I won't do any more than two at once now!!
I have completed Yolanda's CJ and will be taking it to the PO tomorrow after work!
Off to update the first post, if it's wrong gimme a shout!

[flossyjamba]

sara - am only doing one cj at a time but good luck with it!

francis - will be posting 'windows' to you tomorrow afternoon

[maddy]

Posted fairytales today

[flossyjamba]

posted windows today

[katy75]

Ruth, so sorry but mine is going to be late. Left it for OH to post today and here it is, still on the dining table....

I will be Fri now but will be first class. I am usually really punctual with CJs but life is getting in the way at the mo - hope you understand.

K x

[Scraphamster]

Liz hasn't posted yet, so I'll hold back on delivering the one I've got, so she doesn't get overloaded.

[pigeongirl]

well i was in the po today just a shame i left it on the table ....
will be posted tomorow so it should be there by the end of the week

now give us the cj sarah

[Nerdbird]

Have rec'd colours today and lovely it is too!!!!

Posted Queen today

[Phoenix Tears]

well i was in the po today just a shame i left it on the table ....
will be posted tomorow so it should be there by the end of the week

now give us the cj sarah

DOH!! Sounds like something I would do! Once again ladies, the main reason I went for a four week turnaround is so we can be a bit more flexible with posting as long as they are posted within the first week of the month, that is fine as long nobody extracts the urine!! (Which I don't think any of you would)!

[pigeongirl]

posted today 1st class os it should be with you by the end of the week ....
now sarah fess up the cj

[Scraphamster]

Does this count as demanding CJ with menaces??? I'm so telling Mum!!!! :lol:

[maddy]

CJ arrived nice and safe this morning

[francis2002]

Got a view from my window today. It's fab.

[Scraphamster]

Oooh, I have a red card waiting for me...will probably not be able to collect till Saturday as you have to go out of town now to collect it....hmmmm

[scrappyyo]

Katy, I've posted 'how does your garden grow' this afternoon:)

[Phoenix Tears]

Nearly there for this posting! Keep them going ladies, I would like to get them all round and everyone up to date by Monday! *fingers crossed*

[tinker]

has once upon a time redelivered today (been away) and i must say how fab it is !!! :wub:

[Phoenix Tears]

Perfect Day arrived today and it's lovely! Looking forward to doing this one! I will pop back later and up date the first post and PM anyone I haven't heard from!

[Scraphamster]

I now have the lovely 'Words of Wisdom'....hmmmm....will have to think.....

I delivered 'Mouse' to Liz on Saturday.

[adele]

Queen for the day picked up from post office this morning. Sent now and then to Sara on Saturday

[Pinkster]

Now and Then has arrived today and it's looking lucious :)

[katy75]

I've got How does your garden grow and i've taken some piccies this evening :)

[Phoenix Tears]

WooHoo! Way to go ladies! Another round of posting has been successfully completed!! I'm always like a cat on a hot tin roof around posting time! I can relax for three weeks now! :lol: I think I should give up this hosting lark, I'm too much of a worrier!! :rolleyes: :lol:

[pigeongirl]

Does this count as demanding CJ with menaces??? I'm so telling Mum!!!! :lol:

thats it go tell mum .... fight your own battles woman :D:D:D

[Phoenix Tears]

If you two don't behave I'll tell your mum!! :lol: :lol:

[Scraphamster]

Sorry Ruth :lol: Do you want us to stand in the naughty corner?

Must get to work on Words of Wisdom....hmmm....will need to think of what to put. I love that we have a month for these as it means I can have a good think about what to put in rather than panicking that I've got to get something done in three weeks.

[Phoenix Tears]

Nah, just don't say I didn't warn you when one of you gets hurt!! :lol:

[pigeongirl]

she started it !!!

[flossyjamba]

hey katy it was great to meet you at scrapaganza!

[katy75]

Hi Lindsey
Didn't have the best time but it was lovely to meet you too. Be nice to keep in touch :).

Haven't even looked at CJ yet!!! Must try to get on with it soon!

[Phoenix Tears]

Likewise Katy, although I have looked at it!!

[flossyjamba]

have done three quarters but not sure how to add the next bit. hmmmmmm....

[Phoenix Tears]

Still haven't started my entry, know what I'm going to do though so that's my project for the weekend!

[Pinkster]

Have posted my cj today 'Now and then'. Blimey it was a challenge, do't want to give anything away but nothing like I'd noramlly do. Am quite pleased with it though hope you like it.

Can't wait till the next one arrives

[Scraphamster]

Wheeee......... almost finished 'Words of Wisdom'....just need to print off the words and put them on the sheet...spent last night cutting out and decorating loads of shoes on the cricut :lol: Lindsey, when this one comes round to you, you may notice something familiar on my entry - I used one of the luscious flowers you made in the felty embellie swap :) It suited the page so well that I gave one away and kept one on the identical page that I'm making to keep for myself. That's turning out to be a bit of a challenge with not all the CJs being the same dimensions...I'm having to make one layout and then adapt it so that I can put it in my 6x6 'to keep' copy.

I'll take it up to Liz on Monday once I've put the finishing touches to it.

[flossyjamba]

tee hee, look forward to seeing that sarah.

just finishing of mine tonight.

posting tuesday

[Phoenix Tears]

Posted Perfect Day to Sarah today!

[maddy]

Posted "what ever you want" today

[scrappyyo]

Got 'Now and then' today, it's looking lovely :D

[flossyjamba]

posted 'my other self' today

[katy75]

OK, confession time. Almost done it. But not quite. And can't do anything on it tomorrow. Might be Friday before I can post (((waits for slap on wrist))). Sorry Ruth. My circumstances are somewhat changed from when I first started and I am working crazy hours, but I do want to carry on if you can put up with me being a bit late now and then....

[Scraphamster]

A 'signed for' parcel arrived this morning. I haven't opened it yet, but since the label with my name was on top of one with Ruth's name, I think we can safely assume that 'Perfect Day' has now arrived with me :)

[tinker]

Received Ruth's "Whatever You Want" CJ today and its fabby! Cant wait to get stuck into it ;)

I posted to Lindsey (Flossyjamba) yesterday, so am hoping she has it :D

[pigeongirl]

i am volunteering to go and sit inthe naughty corner ..
have been carrying "it started with a mouse " around in my bag for 2 days now and still havent been able to get out of work to post it ..
am back in again at 5.30 tomorow so will beg one of the girls to go up and post it while i am busy with area manager ....

sorry , it is all getting a bit pants at the moment

[Scraphamster]

Hey Liz, I'll bring 'Words of Wisdom' up to you tomorrow.

'Perfect Day' is just gorgeous - I'm going to have a good think about what my perfect day would be.

[Pinkster]

Oooh Perfect Day is mine, how exciting :)

[scrappyyo]

Posted off 'anything goes' today, walked with the kids to the post office and can you imagine my embarrassment when I went to pay that I realised I had forgotten my purse, good job my friend was in the queue and I was able to borrow some money:rolleyes: that will teach me not to be in such a hurry to get the kids out of the house.

[adele]

Posted Queen for the day to Sara today..

[Phoenix Tears]

OK have updated the first post so far of who has what, keep me informed when you post and recieve and I will continue to update!

OK, confession time. Almost done it. But not quite. And can't do anything on it tomorrow. Might be Friday before I can post (((waits for slap on wrist))). Sorry Ruth. My circumstances are somewhat changed from when I first started and I am working crazy hours, but I do want to carry on if you can put up with me being a bit late now and then....

No worries Katy, you are posting to me so as long as long as you let me know shouldn't be a major problem!

[flossyjamba]

sorry should have posted before. received the gorgeous 'fairy tales' on wednesday. I love it so much I have already started my LO!

[Pinkster]

'Queen for a day' has arrived and is looking very funky!

Sara x x x

[katy75]

I've received anything goes.

[Scraphamster]

sorry should have posted before. received the gorgeous 'fairy tales' on wednesday. I love it so much I have already started my LO!

YEAY!!!! My baby's on it's way round....very excited. I'm so looking forward to what you all come up with.

I've been wondering about organising a Fairy Tales ATC swap, or even a small page one (5x5 or something, to build up into a bindable book of fairytales)...will get my thinking cap on.

[Nerdbird]

Posted on friday. We are away till monday so won't know if anything has arrived until then

[adele]

whats your colour arrived today while i was at a crop - looking good

Adele

[pigeongirl]

posted it started with a mouse on friday so it should be with you monday or tuesday ..

while i am on can i make a complaint about scraphamster ... she still hasnt given me the cj .. i think this late posting cannot go unnoticed !!!!

[maddy]

The mouse is in my house

[Scraphamster]

Aaaaaaargh...Liz is right!!! I need to pop round (of course if she offered to make me tea or something that would be an incentive :lol:)

[Nerdbird]

Nothing here yet. Have you posted Francis? No worries if not - I just panic about them walking off!!!

[flossyjamba]

I have actually finished the fairy tales cj.

yes, finished. I loved it so much I just wanted to do it straight away!!! its a gorgeous one

[Phoenix Tears]

Right all updated again! Nearly there for this month, just a couple outstanding!
Sarah, get your butt round there!! Liz, get the kettle on!!!!! :lol:

[pigeongirl]

better than that dear sister i have a bottle of wine on the go .....

[francis2002]

Hi. Sorry been a bit manic here. I have My other self and I'm doing view from my window as I write. Sorry it's a tad late. Will post tomorrow.

[Scraphamster]

Now what would you know - in a choice between a glass of wine and the gym, the gym actually won!!!! (I have to do something about my weight.). I'll drop the CJ round tomorrow, Liz (pop round to work with it?)

[katy75]

Both my Cjs now ready Ruth. One will be very late, but the other very early! (((Grovels and seeks forgiveness)))

[Scraphamster]

Gave 'Words of Wisdom' to Liz at lunch today, so she can stop complaining now. Hmmm.....must start thinking about 'perfect day'...but I can't get the song out of my head. Maybe I should use the video as my starting point for the layout style.

[pigeongirl]

i do not complain .... much

can i be a pain ( more than usual .... blame ruth for allowing me to gatecrash the cj )
can you send me the address for maddy again as i have managed to delete it in the manic must get rid of my inbox thing i have just done ...
yey i am an idiot

have now got words of wisdaom ...
love your entry sarah ...
am very tempted by dolly parton
" it take's a lot of money to look this cheap "
but i am going with my favourite person as far as quotations/wisdom is concerned

[Phoenix Tears]

Both my Cjs now ready Ruth. One will be very late, but the other very early! (((Grovels and seeks forgiveness)))

No worries, don't bother groveling, but if you want to make it up to me, you could pop round and do my ironing!!! LOL! No worries though, when they arrive is fine, thanks for keeping me informed!

Liz, I'll hunt out the addy and pm you in a minute!

[Nerdbird]

Still nothing here - did you manage to post it yet Francis? No worries if not

[Scraphamster]

Yeay - another entry done (except for the journalling, which I'll do over the weekend).

Anyone else doing Shimelle's latest class - as per usual I'm horrendously behind :lol: I haven't even taken the photos I was meant to take earlier in the week....ah well - maybe I can just catch up week by week. I've got quite a few swaps to sort out too, so I'll see to those first (can't resist an ATC swap, me :lol:)

[Phoenix Tears]

I got 2 CJ's from Katy this morning!!! I have "How does you garden grow?" and "Anything Goes" they are both lovely. I have picked my challenges already!!!!

[flossyjamba]

sarah: I am doing shimelle's class too. its the first one of hers I've done and I really like being taken through step by step, esp with the journalling. in fact here (http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=168743&cat=2) is my time DLO and the close up shows one of the handmade flowers I made for that swap I hosted - like the one you mentioned on this thread. was yours pink or brown?

[adele]

Adele

[flossyjamba]

Sara, I got "Queen for a day" today and wow!! it is really amazing, will have to put on my thinking cap for this one:)

I know it's a great CJ, definately a challenge!

:wub: hope not too much of a challenge! i have noticed that all the other cj's so far have had various challenges in little envelopes - have been a little concerned my challenge is in the wrong format!

[scrappyyo]

Oh no, it's beautiful:wub: really unusual, just have to think what I will do:blink:

[Scraphamster]

Ruth - have you sent yours on? No red card from the post office for me yet.

[katy75]

I've received then and now - and know exactly what I am doing for it already. It's looking lovely so far.

[Pinkster]

'Colours' has arrived today and is looking good! Will pick my colour later oh I winder what'll I'll get :D

[Phoenix Tears]

I'M HERE!!! Major stress this week, I still have the CJ here, it's all done but I haven't been able to post it! DH isn't at all well and what with sitting in A&E until 4am one night and now I am doing pretty much everything for him I haven't been able to get out. But it will be posted first thing tomorrow! I promise. I will also try and update who has what tomorrow as well! Sorry ladies, I haven't deserted but please bear with me!

[Scraphamster]

Ruth, no problem at all!!! I'll have loads of time to work on it in the next few weeks and once it arrives Liz can check the size of the page and choose her challenge and be working on her page at the same time as I'm working on mine - so really it doesn't even matter if it doesn't arrive till next month. Don't worry about it - real life has to come first. I hope your hubby feels better soon and takes you out for a lovely meal to say thank you for all the nursing you're doing. Poor you being in A&E overnight. I was there with my DH once when he had chest pains (it was all ok in the end, but the tests took ages and we were both shattered the next day from sitting up all night feeling stressed out).

I dropped 'Perfect Day' off with Liz today so it's now in her house.

[francis2002]

Posting my other self to Nerdbird today. Sorry it didn't get posted last week. Couldn't get to post office.

[maddy]

How does your Garden Grow is in my craft room and will be attended to as soon as I finish the mammoth 4 hour kitchen clean that has occupied my morning (this is not my idea of a fun week off!!!!).
