[snipper]

Just bookmarking. I think lots of you have started already, afraid I haven't, but will do as soon as w/e away is over.
I think I'm going with 6 x 6 as far as size goes. It's a nice handy little size, not too daunting for people to fill a couple of pages.
What size is everyone else doing? I get a bit muddled up with A5 and 7 x 5.

[fionaken]

Just signing in. My theme is Getting to Know You. Ive made my journal, its approx 7.5 x 7.5 in.

[Smartie]

I dont know what size mine is ??? its long and slim lol

[~mable~]

dont know what size mine is either.....ill ask lisa (lap1926 ) to measure it when she gets it . martin posted it this morning :D

[snipper]

No matter, wasn't thinking of trying to get ahead of myself doing pages in advance (I wish) just curious.

[humbug]

mines homemade and about 8 x 8, but it's not my fave things - it's all about me

[XxlisaXx]

Almost finished mine...All about me...

[humbug]

mines finished and gone - i know it's early, but i wanted to give tracy more time for her postal system

[fionaken]

Finished making CJ. Slight hiccup in that when punching holes on the second last page (for signing in) did holes on wrong side. So just changed it a bit, you'll see what I mean when you get it.
Now need to get my entry done.

[Smartie]

oh what a shame fiona you poor thing

[humbug]

it's soooo annoying when you do something like that isn't it. i do it all the time - so don't worry fiona - you are not alone!! lol

[lap1926]

Hi Girls,

Tracy - Your CJ arrived this morning so didnt take that long after all.... it measures just under 7x6. Its lovely by the way...im dead impressed. :)

Mine is done except need to add a photo of me :(, wish I hadnt suggested that but hey, its done now. I hate photos of me so you will notice that im gonna use the same one in everyones CJ :) - ive not that many to choose from.

Kim I will post to you this afternoon on my way to pick Amy up from nursery so fingers crossed you should have it tomorrow. :)

[~mable~]

thanks lisa, i wasnt that impressed with it (my own cj) as i had a scrappers block :unsure: i had loads of ideas, when it came to doing it, i couldnt think of any :angry:
i had to post it early to you as i never know if it will take 3 days or 10 days :blink:
i hope it is alright though, being my first one :blink:

[lap1926]

Tracy i thought it was lovely...so neat and tidy and love the handwritten bits, and the size is very good too. - i hate my writing so had to hide it on my pages...:lol:

Kim, forgot to send yesterday but have posted this morning first class so should be with you tomorrow...sorry about that, things have been really bad here lately so lots to sort out and never got to post office.

[fionaken]

Finished my entry, will put in post tomorrow.

[fionaken]

ELeanor, posted CJ today.

[XxlisaXx]

Mines gone too....Anybody heard from annd recently?

[humbug]

Mines gone too....Anybody heard from annd recently?
yes she pm'd me the other day, to tell me she had no points for this week. didn't mention the cj though

[AnnD]

Hello everyone,

Long time no speak. Journal on its way to you Amanda. Posted this morning. Will you let me know when it arrives.

Hope everyone is well, sorry I had no points for the team this week. Long shifts at work which meant no scrapping for me. Even went to my weekly crop (its held in the centre where I work) and did absolutely nothing :mellow:
Had planned to scrap all day today, but a friend popped in for coffee, we only spent the whole afternoon gossiping. Will try to get something done tomorrow.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
bye for now
Ann x

[humbug]

hi ann

will let you know on here when it's arrived

hope things calm down for you soon!!

[lap1926]

Hi Kim,

Forgot to ask...has my cj arrived with you yet? Dont trust the royal mail and just thought i would check.

Ta
Lisa

[snipper]

Spoke on the wrong thread Fiona, but think you found it.

Mine's is nearly done, just some ribbons to tie on, and then I'll pack it up and check who I'm sending to. It can go off after the dentist tomorrow. Unless my face has fallen off and I can't be seen in the PO.

[snipper]

Just about to try and upload my CJ.

[snipper]

Face OK, need a new mortgage to pay for it though, and didn't make it to PO. Am going now. Right now. Well, getting some shoes on first.

[humbug]

ann
i've received your cj this morning.

it's beautiful, really stunning, i hope my work is half as good and doesn't let it down!!

[Smartie]

will look out for it tomorrow Eleanor cant wait

[fionaken]

Kim received your CJ this morning - its gorgeous.

[snipper]

It's on its way Ellie. No zippy bag though, just a plastic page thing. and a jiffy bag.
xxx

[humbug]

a plastic page thing???

what's one of them then???

[Smartie]

i know what you mean ellie thats fine

[humbug]

can you explain then? or am i just being dim - i'm not being fussy - just intrigued!!

[Smartie]

page protector

do you know what she means now? :lol:

[XxlisaXx]

Jenny, I have yours, Its lovely, I might even do my entry in it tonite....

[humbug]

got it

lisaxx - if you do it tonigh don't forget to add to your signature!!

[lap1926]

Kim, did you get mine????

Will pm you aswell incase you dont read this thread...

oh, and i will post on our normal thread too.

Im not harrassing you honest :lol: just worried it may have gone astray...

[XxlisaXx]

Hello lisa how r u tonite????

[lap1926]

lisa, sorry i didnt read this last night, but then we were yapping on the other thread so will shut up now :lol:

[XxlisaXx]

Annd has mine arrived yet????

[AnnD]

Hi Lisa,

I had to PM Amanda due to my PC crashing at the beginning of the week. It arrived ok although I did have a slight panic on as the Postie shoved it through the letter box and by all accounts had a bit of a job trying to get it through. My son phoned me at work to tell me that a parcel had been shoved through the letter box, the noise of it had made him go down stairs to look but it hit the floor before he got to the bottom. Thankfully it is ok and there is no damage that I can see. I must admit though I was worried all day at work. Its a lovely journal, I catn wait to get started on it. I love all of the ribbons on the binder. :D Lovely pictures too of your family.

I have just got my PC up and running this evening, I have tried to log onto the site from work, but its not something my employers like us to do during work time. Ive been lost not being able to come online.

Ive managed a DLO and a CJ entry for this weeks points and I have my monthly crop tomorrow so hope to get more done to make up for my low points last month. ;)

Will pop back soon
Take Care Everyone
Ann x

[snipper]

I can't believe I've finished Fiona's entry, just got to stick it in. But I'll keep to the posting date, otherwise it gets confusing (says she who's in a VERY confusing CJ - it really doesn't help when they disappear down a hole across the North Sea though).

How is everyone else doing?

[humbug]

i've got ann's and was on a roll - until the weekly challenge came out!!

hopefully i'll get on with it over the weekend. i have it all planned out so it's just a case of putting it together

[~mable~]

ive finished my entry in yours amanda...will post to lisa (lap1926 ) next week :D cant believe i wont see it again...had to take photos of it as a reminder. :)

[humbug]

hi - just to say i have received lisaxx's cj from ann and it is GORGEOUS - from both of you - just really hope i can do it justice

[snipper]

Just to say I have sent Fiona's CJ to Ellie - so that we know where they are. I don't have a team one now, but not to worry, plenty of others to do.

[fionaken]

Eleanor, sorry I am a bit late with the CJ, will try and finish it this weekend and get it in the post beginning of the week.

[lap1926]

And now that Ive been put right on who to send to...i will post mine to KIM on Monday...i know mine had been done for over a week now but im pleased i didnt try and send it really cos it would hav gone to the wrong person!!!

Dim moment over...back on schedule now! :lol:

[snipper]

Absolutely no worries Fiona - please don't rush yourself. I'm fine waiting for it, dinna fash or whatever it is I should be saying, lol.
xxx

[~mable~]

lisa (lap1926) can you let me know when you recieve amandas cj...martin posted it on the 23rd feb. thank you :)

[Smartie]

[~mable~]

[Smartie]

[~mable~]

[fionaken]

Eleanor, finished the CJ, will pop in the post tomorrow.

[AnnD]

Hi Girls,

all I seem to do when I post is apologise for not being around much. <_<
Why do I have to spend so much time at work !!! :wacko:

Amanda, did the CJ arrive ok, I posted it on the 23rd. (Ive PM'd my points...sorry they are late, not sure if ive tallied them up correct :unsure: )

xxLisaxx is the CJ on its way, just so that I can tell DS to keep an eye for the postie in case he does his usual party trick and shoves it through the letter box...without caring what might be inside :(

Hope everyone is well and life is treating you all kind.
Catch up with you all soon
Ann x

[lap1926]

Tracy - sorry i didnt post on here - Ellie is right, i did post on the other one by mistake - I always forget about this thread...:rolleyes: (thanks for letting tracy know ellie :))

Its really nice by the way, from both of you - i hope I can keep up the high standard!

[snipper]

I'm another one who forgets about this thread. I'm sure you read the other one Fiona, but in case you didn't, it did arrive, thank you.

[AnnD]

Hope this is the right thread :huh: Just dropping in to let XXLisaXX know that the CJ arrived yesterday. DH caught the postie this time so no worries this time. :rolleyes:

Love the LO in this journal. Can wait to see my finished CJ.

Bye for now

[AnnD]

Hi Girls,

Just popped in to ask xxLisaxx if she has sent off the CJ to me yet, need to make sure someone is around for the postie. Dont trust him enough not to shove it through the letterbox and cause damage :(

If you could let me know that would be great, thanks

Ann D x

[~mable~]

Sorry Ellie, bit behind with CJ, I'll let you know when I've finished, and sent it on its way. Sorry. :(

[Smartie]

no problem elllie ive only just sent the next one to jenny today. thanks for the update

[fionaken]

Eleanor, posted CJ to you yesterday. Please let me know when you get. it.

[snipper]

I got it Fiona - lovely. And thank you for my matchbox - I shall use everything, all just up my street. And ribbon too. :) Thank you

[snipper]

Cj on the way to you Ellie.

[Smartie]

thanks ellie :wub:

[fionaken]

Kim
Received humbugs CJ today. Thank you. Its looking great.

[snipper]

Cj on the way to you Ellie.

Any sign of it yet Ellie?
Bloomin first class recorded? Could have walked there quicker.

[Smartie]

yes well i got a card today will pick it up tomorrow :)

[snipper]

Ooh that's good, panic over, or is it more stash you've been buying?

Actually, I've been thinking I won't use recorded any more - it just makes hassle for the person receiving, and has absolutely no guarantee attached to it at all. Even special delivery only pretends to guarantee delivery, when it actually comes to it, it's very difficult to get any compensation out of them, and it's not really compensation we're after is it? Just things to get where we want them to go in a reasonable time frame.
Does everyone else use recorded, or not? I only know what Fiona does. Think I'm going to go second class on everything and expect it to take a week, that way I might be pleasantly surprised now and again.

[humbug]

got ann's cj and prize submission this morning, thanks ann

[XxlisaXx]

Annd not sure whether you read this or not but I am posting two Cj's to you as I go away on Wednesday....Hope that is ok!!!!

[AnnD]

Hi xxLisaxx,

Thats fine, thanks for letting me know. That will give me time to get sorted before I go off on my hols too. Took your advice :D and booked that holiday to Turkey with my sis. We fly out on the 21st.

Hope you have a nice holiday and get time to relax and enjoy the break.

Speak soon
Ann x

[snipper]

Did you fetch that parcel yet, Ellie? Only I think they send it back after a week. :P

[Smartie]

sorry ellie i went to det it but the queue was out the door and the kids were screaming so i tried to ring them to arrange re delivery and no one would pick up the phone then at 12 they closed i hope they havnt sent it back yet im so sorry if they have

[humbug]

[Smartie]

[fionaken]

Eleanor
Didnt get to PO today - definately will post toyou tomorrow first class. Sorry.

[snipper]

No worries Fiona. Whenever. Honestly. Don't stress. I don't even know what day it is, these Bank Holidays get me totally confused. And my older 2 are both on study leave, which doesn't help me to know what's what.
While I'm on this thread, I'll tell the world I've posted a CJ to Ellie (might as well get it in the right place).

[Smartie]

thanks ellie its arried- i love you work so much ellie its always so wonderful

tracy your whole cj is looking amazing

hi everyone due to the recent problems with cj's we will just be putting a hold to the future posting dates until further notice in the mean time if you could let me know who has wheat cj it would be a great help to help get everything organised for once we start postage again, so far i have

Humbug has Fiona's and Snippers
Tracy has Ellies
Lisa has jennys
Kim has ann's
fiona has none
Snipper has humbugs
Ellie has tracy's
jenny
lisaxx has Kim's
Ann has none


if any of these details need changing let me know, but if jenny and (lap) lisa could just post on here who has how that would be great thanks :wub:

[lap1926]

Hi girls

I still have jenny's which is done and ready to post...but i wont for now until i hear otherwise.

Im all confused cos ive not been on and missed all the goings on...hope everyone is ok.
Lisa

[Smartie]

ok lisa will up date hopefully we will have contact from kim soon and then we can continue will pm everyone with new details and re start date as soon as everything is sorted.

[Smartie]

are we still useing this thread? do people want a revised plan sent out or should i just leave it?

[XxlisaXx]

I assume we will be using this thread once evrything is in place to start????

[Smartie]

i just felt it had been taken over on the other thread and i hadnt been informed till i read it my self so wondered if i needed to do anything or not really

[humbug]

ellie

i was just trying to get everything straightened out first and then we all knew where everything was

i wasn't trying to stand on your toes or anything, just knew you'd been down this week and was trying to take that pressure away from you and people were starting to ask questions, so i just thought if we had a plan in place and then when sarah is ready (and as i said there's not rush) then you can do a revised posting schedule

and then yes of course we'll come back to thsi thread

hope that's ok

[Smartie]

hi everyone

you may already of seen amandas post on the team thread but here is where were at -

Proposed revised schedule when sarah is ready: it means some people will get a month off over a period of time as we are in places two cj's short til sarah's starts circulting if that makes sense and of course we have only nine in circulation
it also means that when everyone has had there own returned, sarah's will also be still be continuing the circle for a few months after


humbug will send fiona's to tracy, so she has snippers

tracy will post ellies and receive fiona's

lisa will post jennys and receipt of ellies

kim will post lisaxx's and recieve jennys

fiona will recieve lisaxx

snipper will post humbugs and then have a month off

ellie will post tracy's to sarah and then have a month off


sarah will and post her own to jenny and recieve tracys

jenny will recieve sarahs and post lisas

lisaxx will post kims to humbug and receive lisas

i will be putting together a new posting scedual, do we want to keep it 4 weeks ordoes anyone feel brave enough to change it to 3 weeks? just thought id asked as many seemed to be getting them finished quicker that the 4 weeks iykwim

we need to point sarah in the diection of this thread, my mouse has ne decided to give up on me so getting stressed just useing the key board will be back on tomorrow once ive brought a new one lol

pm me with any probs

sarah if you have an idea when you will be ready that would be great dont mind if two weeks etc just pm me then i will due scedual around that :)

[humbug]

hi ellie

i would rather stick to four for the sake of fruitcake - most have got through ok, but if there is a delay it will hold us up, also i think tracy mentioned somewhere shat she is unable to resume til mid july when she gets home from the uk

just thought i'd mention that cos i don't know if she posted it somewhere and you may not have read back

[~mable~]

i would rather leave it til mid july, if thats ok. i can post the one i have to laplisa, but wont be able to do an entry in another one until i get back on the 14th july.

[SarahYoo]

I was going to say the middle to end of July will be fine.Snipper has kindly offered to make me a journal, so I don't want her to feel rushed to do it, iykwim!!!! I think 4 weeks is a good gap between postings - remember girls, this is my first cj, so be patient with me!!!

Sorry if I was out of place asking things on the chat thread, I hadn't found this one!!!

[humbug]

no need to apologise sarah

[fionaken]

Four weeks sounds fine to me. I will away on hols 15-29 July, but I dont have one to do until next posting date anyway.

Are you sitting on the camel on the matelpiece watching me? No?
Then how did you know I haven't done it yet, lol. I truly did mean to do it this weekend, but events overtook me, as they do don't they. Ah well - tomorrow is another day. I will challenge myself to get it made or else I can't go out to sing in the evening.

DH opened his card at last, said oh yes very nice. Then stood it up the wrong way on the shelf. OK so it wasn't that clear, unless you bothered to look inside and see which way the message was written, he obviously didn't.

I'll borrow a friend's QuicKutz dies and do him a golf scene next time - I'm sure he'd get that the right way up.

Well, going to spend the night worrying about the guinea pig now, cos I went to say goodnight to him and his water bottle has broken. Haven't a spare, so gave him a dish of water, but he's sat in it twice and spilt it, so I hope he doesn't die of thirst before morning when I can get out to the petshop.
Night night

[Smartie]

sounds great should we go for the second week in july then it will have chance for leanor to post to sarah and sarah to add what she needs and for tracy to get back home?

i will get it sorted and will be re emailing all cj info so keep a look out!

(got to buy a new mouse first!)

[SarahYoo]

Camel on the mantel piece, snipper? Maybe DH's b'day card had a magic portal in it, but I got confused as everything looked upside down......!!

[Smartie]

ok no probs will do that then no poiny starting till were all ready, other wise we may end up with more problems

[Smartie]

my head is going to explode :lol:

[snipper]

Sorry to be holding you up Sarah - just so you know - the covers on a 6x6 sarabook (which is what my template is of) are 6x6, (bear with me, this is not as obvious as it sounds, lol) and the inside pages are 5 and 3/4 by 5 and 3/4. Just telling you in case you are desperate to get started. I will post here when I have sent it on its way to you, so that you know. I've just contacted a sponsor about something I ordered for a swap, she sent it 1st class on Tues, so looks like it's gone missing. I'm really losing faith in Royal Mail.
I know the vast majority of mail does get where it's going, but it seems like a lot of things I've sent or have expected to receive just lately have vanished off the face of the earth.
I still have Amanda's - was I supposed to be sending it to you early Ellie? I can't rmember now, but I don't want to overload you if you have a lot on.

[humbug]

ellie i think jenny may have lisa's - it will need tracking down

i have jenny's here ready to be returned to her

[SarahYoo]

Thanks Snipper, and cheers for the dimensions!!! I can sit and scribble out some kind of plan, so that I am prepared!!!!!

Don't worry, I have lost some of my faith in the mail too - everything I send gets there, usually by the next day, but things seem to take an age coming up here!!! And its always stuff I am dying to get my hands on!!!

[Smartie]

oki will email jenny thanks

[Smartie]

i have soem fantastic news!!! jenny is goign to finish the cj horray so we still have ten :D

[Smartie]

right i know im thick but how many more cj entries do we have to do?

[Smartie]

is it six?

[SarahYoo]

Well, I have 10 :lol: :lol: or 9 if you count me out:lol: :lol:

I take it I will be put at the end now, as I was in Jenny's place...or will I'll take ann's place now? Tell me to shut up, that's fine!

[Smartie]

RE DONE AS JENNY IS BACK IN!



humbug will send fiona's to tracy, so she has snippers

tracy will post ellies and receive fiona's

lisa will post jennys and receipt of ellies

kim will post lisaxx's and recieve jennys

fiona will recieve lisaxx

snipper will post humbugs and then have a month off

ellie will post tracy's to sarah and then have a month off


sarah will and post her own to jenny and recieve tracys

jenny will recieve sarahs and post lisas

lisaxx will post kims to humbug and receive lisas

[snipper]

Well, by my reckoning...
I have done mine,
Fiona's
Kim's
Lisalap's
Tracy's
Amanda's.


That leaves me with 4 to do -
Sarah
Lisaxx
Jenny
EllieS.

But some people will have done Ann's and so will be doing eleven by the finish.

[Smartie]

thanks ellie i couldnt remember what i have done lol

[SarahYoo]

But there won't be room for me to do a LO in evryone's as Ann has done in some peoples, and there won't be enough pages for us all. But thats OK, we'll just have to do another one when we've finished this one......!!!!

[Smartie]

well im not sure about the others but you can take anns out and put yours in her place as i know you ive never known ann

[Smartie]

need to think about this not too sure how to go about it but i think it willbe a real shame if your lo isnt in our cj's maybe once we have got them hom we could take it in turns to post them to you? i dont know need to know what others think on this

[SarahYoo]

Oooh, I don't know if I would want to take someone's entry out, after all Ann did spend time doing it, but I could do something extra for it, say an extra tag for the sign in page or something like that. See what the guys think..!

[fionaken]

Pages can be added to mine. I think probably once they've all got home, we can take turns in sending them to Sarah.
I know Ann's done one in mine, which I would like to keep and also have one from Sarah, but more blank card can be added to mine IYKWIM.

[SarahYoo]

Thats OK then Fiona, I would feel happier about doing it that way!

[Smartie]

fiona you say it so much nicer than me . mine are page protectors so will have to take anns out to pjt sarahs in

[humbug]

i'm the same as fiona would happily post to sarah and then she can do one, but saying that ann hadn't doen one in mine anyway

[SarahYoo]

I'll probably get yours as it goes around before it gets back to you then Amanda.
I'd be happy to do a LO for yours Ellie, I could send it back with the journal, and then you could swap them!!!!

[snipper]

I think Ann must have done one in mine but I'd also like one from Sarah, as mine can have pages added, but not if that's too much for you to contemplate, Sarah. Nothing like being snowed under with CJs to send one's MOJO off on a long vacation. There wouldn't be any rush, though.

Ellie - do you want this CJ of Amanda's sent any time soon?

[Smartie]

yer ellie you can post it

i was going to email all the new info out last night but due to all the upset here never got round to it, the neighbour came round to apologies we had here her till 11.30 she still denies it but we have a terrible feeling about what is going on behind closed doors with her husband, something isnt right, she is sent round by him all the time and is so lovely when he is a complete nutter for no reason i dont know what we have done to upset him, unfortuetly last night at 3am someone was throwing stones and our car and saying some very un choice words lucky i heard straight away and the ran off but i couldnt see who it was. in the very small chance it wasnt him throwing the litter last night (which she is trying to make us belive) we havnt a clue who else we could have upset we always keep our selves to our selves even when other people anoy me (except for last night ) i keep quite and dont ay anything. Im even more desperate to move now!

[SarahYoo]

My blank cj has arrived (thanks very much snipper:wub: ) so it's all systems go!!

Shall let you know how I get on!!!:huh: :wacko: :unsure: :lol:

[Smartie]

ive sent new emails out but you know what im like someone is bound to have something incorrect on them so just shout if you need anything :wacko:

will change first post with new dates etc

[SarahYoo]

I've posted my cj to lisaxx today, hope it gets there ok!!

[snipper]

ooh, well done that girl, that was speedy.

[Smartie]

[SarahYoo]

When i resigned from the team i told amanda i had already posted my last CJ onto Kim, which as it turns out was a complete lie!!! :lol: - sorry amanda... i must have been thinking of something else or just imagining things cos when i received Snippers CJ this morning from Tracy I put it in my "to do" drawer and the other one is still there! oooppppsss..

So apologies that its late Kim but it will be posted to you tomorrow I promise (my PO is closed on a wednesday otherwise would have done today)..

SORRY AGAIN GIRLS... dont know where my head was during that conversation.

So Tracy I have received Snippers CJ safe and sound this morning (and its lovely btw :))

[~mable~]

[snipper]

Hiya. Well as far as I can work out, I only have 3 to do, Lisaxx's which I have now, and Jenny's and then Sarah's. Is that right Ellie?
I would like to carry on, personally, and see this through to the end.
We may have come to a parting of the ways, but there's no denying you all do and have done some beautiful work, which I shall be proud to have in my possession. If some of you feel unable to carry on, then obviously I shall feel sad but accept that. We're all adults and must make our own decisions.
So - my wish is to complete.
I'll wait to see what everyone else feels.

[~mable~]

i would still like to carry on to the end...we only have a couple more entries to do anyway.

[Smartie]

tracy pm'd me she wants to complete and so do i so thats

YES

Amanda
snipper
tracy-lihanne
ellieS
sarah (will continue longer than everyone)
fiona
lisa

NO

-


Let me know girls please

[humbug]

i'm more than happy to see it through - i can't see a reason why anybody wouldn't want to, as snipper said there have been some gorgeous entries, and it would be a shame if they came back incomplete

[Smartie]

thank you amanda

i- i can't see a reason why anybody wouldn't want to,


beacuse some people are feeling hurt by the whole situation maybe?

[humbug]

i'm not rising to it ellie - you're not the only one who has been hurt

[Smartie]

i wasnt wanting you to rise to anything just think you need to be careful what you say to everyone. i have decided not to say anything to keep the peace or not cause upset, but cant take it when other inersent people are upset. leaving it at that, good night

[SarahYoo]

I am happy to carry on, as long as everyone is still Ok about my cj going on after everyones elses has gone home iykwim.
So I'm a yes please Ellie:wub:

[fionaken]

Happy to go with the majority, as long as there are no more upsets. Just felt the question should be asked.

[XxlisaXx]

I am happy for it to continue...

[Smartie]

thank you

[Mickle]

Ellie have pm'd you. I am happy to complete this cj.

[humbug]

rec'd lisas and sarahs this morning - they look fab

[lap1926]
