Hi,

Sorry for the delay in adding to this thread but out of town at the moment.
On the list so far are:-

Me
Flo_and_Co
Nona
Doogle007

There are 6 spaces left now.............If interested please PM me.

The only thing that I will ask is that if everyone could keep to a max size of 8 and half by 8 and half please, otherwise postage can get out of hand.

I've had one once where i had to pay nearly £9-00 to send it.........So I thought to be fair it's best to set a maxium size.

Need to get my thinking cap on now for a theme.

Many thanks!

Love Angie...........xx.......... :)

Hi all

A theme now thats going to get me thinking - there are so many to choose.

Would anyone mind if I went with the theme 'it all started with a mouse' and have Mickey as my theme. (was going to go with Walt quotes but you guys might not be that into disney history).

Sorry to take the obvious one.

If anyone has a problem let me know.

[Flo]

£9 to post??!!! eeek!!!

I usually work with smallish books anyway - 6x6 or 7x5, that sort of size - so no worries there

I was leaning to a Mickey theme too, but I'll think of something else.

(anything except Disney Princesses...)

Really looking forward to this one :D

Sarah

[maggiemae]

Oh Angie - just sending you a PM. Would love to play as well as my Buffy/Angel CJ has more or less finished (well I've done all my entries - just waiting now for the last posting date to be announced as a couple of people need to catch up)

[maggiemae]

Angie your inbox is full :D

[gemster]

Same as above - in fact I am in the same boat as Maggiemae awaiting the Buffy groups last posting. But I would love to join the disney tastic cj espec as I have lots of lovely goodies from mouse memories.com to use! :)

[doogle007]

I can't wait I love Disney...can my theme be favourite Disney film...Let's go to the Movies...Thanks Angie for hosting the CJ :)

[Flo]

I've been humming and harring about a theme - can I just go with 'Disney Magic' - nice and vague - you can each tell me what you find most magical about Walt's World....

and if you need to get in the mood, I bet you can't look at this pic without getting all swoony - I can't! (my fave pic from our last trip - I'm yet to scrapbook it - I'm trying to think how to really do it justice....)

Sarah

[Mrs Mac]

In box still full, any spaces left.
This CJ will be complete just in time for my next visit to the Mouse.
I would like to do this one if there are any spaces left?

Karen

[doogle007]

Oh wow great picture Sarah ....I think I need a holiday :)

[scrapbook fairy]

Sorry Girlies, Inbox has been sorted now...............Needed to Spring Clean.........

Welcome on board:-
Maggiemae
Gemster
Mrs Mac

I haven't really settled on a theme as of yet, but think it will be a bit of everything... FAvorite Disney Moment, Disney Charater, Disney Film etc and defintley a bit about the mouse............LOL..........

We still have 3 spaces left at the moment ifanyone's interested............

Have fun and will do any updates over the weekend.

Love Angie.xx.......... :)

[maggiemae]

Woohoo! Thanks Angie ... was so worried there might not be space left for some reason :rolleyes:

Have an inkling of an idea brewing, just need to mull it over for a bit then hopefully I'll know what I'm doing.

That's a beautiful photograph Sarah, I really must get round to working out how to use my camera in the dark :)

Hi Karen & Gem ***waves***

[joanne]

I am vaguely interested in this but probably won't join due to finances, but I was interested to know how much does it usually cost to send the average CJ registered?

[maggiemae]

Joanne - in my experience it usually starts off about £2 - £3 at the start then up to about £5 - £6 near the end of the circle as the journal gets heavier.

I did receive one that cost £6+ on first posting once

[joanne]

Gosh that sounds hectic starting at £6. Do you upload the pages as you go along, I would like to follow how you do with this one, but I won't join in.

Hope that doesn't sound rude! As well as the cost I will unfortunately be in disneyland between 2 of the postings! :rolleyes: Which is mostly why I have to closely monitor my budget!

[scrapbook fairy]

Totally agree with Maggie.........That's about the going rate at the moment......

Although as I said before I had one that cost me nearly £9-00 once, which isn't really fair to everyone else.....That's why I thought it would be better to set a Max a size.

Let us know if you want to join, but we only have 3 spaces left....

Love Angie......xx..... :)

[joanne]

I am very tempted Angie as I said before, but I will pass. I am very interested to see how this goes. To be honest I am too behind with my photos to start with things like CJs. I love the Disney swaps and trading pages but it seems like everyone else is up to date on Disney layouts as there has not been so much interest on the boards recently. I have had to join in with a disney swap on the DIS to keep my obsession alive!

[Flo]

up to date?! eeek! I will still be scrapping Disney pics on my 100th birthday :D

(maybe it's because I spend all my time doing CJs and other swaps instead LOL)

I'll not be uploading my stuff as I go along, as I don't like to spoil the surprise for the owner of each CJ - but will upload everything at the end when my CJ comes home (see other CJs in my gallery for examples)

as for posting - I find it rare for them to go above £4-ish - but maybe I have been lucky! One woman in the circle I'm currently in has used a proper 8x8 postbound scrapbook for hers, so that's pretty heavy and bulky, but even that only cost £3-something (1st class recorded) when I posted it on last week...

hope that helps

Sarah

[joanne]

I didn't think about the suprise element, I can understand that. I would love to see one of these cjs in real life though, just to see what goes into it. What do you use as a base generally?

[Nona]

Flo - Im glad Im not the only one with so many photos - we have around 6500 disney photos!!!!!!!!!! don't think I will be scrapping them all ever :lol:

Hi to everyone :D

[joanne]

Crikey Nona, is that a lot of disney trips or was there superglue on your shooting finger?

[Nona]

A few trips and super glue and obsessive photo taking on DH's part;) He once took 80 photos of 1 single rose!!!!! all I can say is thank goodness for digital!!:lol:

[Polgara]

Angie - I've pm'd you about joining this CJ.

If I can play can I have the theme of favourite/special disney song?

[mum2a16yrold]

I have pm'd you Angie, hoping there is a space left. Hi Ruth nice to see you over here on this CJ thread. :)

[Polgara]

Hi Ann - don't know if I'm on board yet - fingers crossed! :)

[gemster]

As a princess myself, my theme will be princess related not to sure on the finer details yet might leave it as a surprise for you all :ph34r: but be sure there will be a fair bit of pink! :lol:

[Mrs Mac]

Hello Girls
Its great to be on board, what will I choose, I just dont know there are so many things I love about Disney.
Hello Maggie, fancy finding you here! I am realy pleased that you are, I admire your work on each CJ that has passed thru my hands. Lovely work and I am so looking forward to our the shopping trip to Michaels :D

Last night there was a quiz at school, there was a round of questions on Disney movies everyone pointed at me :blink: disapointed to only have got 18 out of 20 ;)

Anyone know what there CJ will be about?

[Kat the Cobbler]

I've Pm#d you Angie. I hope I'm not too late

[doogle007]

Anyone know what there CJ will be about?

I have chosen Disney Films :)

[Kat the Cobbler]

I've got a rough idea - it might have to be about Eeyore. I love him. He cheers me up with his gloomy thoughts.

[maggiemae]

Hmm still thinking about my theme - might be something to do with the actual theme parks themselves - has everyone thats signed up been to Disney then or would a park based CJ give anyone any problems.

Dont worry if this doesnt suit - I can think up plenty of other themes so please dont be shy and shout up if this wouldn't suit.

Was thinking along the lines of "Disney's Best Kept Secrets" or something like that.

Hi Karen - yeah look another thread where we can chat about stash shopping in Orlando :D
You have me at a disadvantage as apart from a quick glance at your Rabbie CJ (when it surrepticiously (sp???) changed hands at the SECC last october - and very fine it looked too ) I havent seen any more of your work - think yours will be the second last journal I get in my Scottish Scrappers group

Hello to Ann my team mate as well - hadnt realised you were a Disney nut too Ann :D

I can't see that park based would be a problem. Even if you haven't been there's plenty of stuff on the internet or even brochures in travel agents.

[maggiemae]

Hi Treenie - hmm yeah I hadnt thought of that, suppose that's true.
Do you know I've never seen Eeyore yet at a park - he must be busy napping somewhere all the time :D

[mum2a16yrold]

Hello to Ann my team mate as well - hadnt realised you were a Disney nut too Ann :D

Hi Maggie, **WAVES MADLY** saw yoiu mention this on the team thread and shot straight over to see if there was room left. :rolleyes: I have been to Anaheim twice, Florida once and Paris once, we have just about every disney film going although I have to admit that now DS is 16 I watch them farless, although the littlies I look after still enjhoy watching them, especially Snow White. I am trying not to get too excited and pick a theme yet as I don't know if I'm in or not, but I think it may be somthing to do with the Disney Parades, or Winnie the Pooh, possibly the latter, it's my favourite, I have a HUGE Pooh bear in a chair in my bedroom. :wub:.

[maggiemae]

:lol: That's what I was like yesterday - almost rushed off to start making my CJ then thought I'd better not in case that was tempting fate :D

Will keep my fingers crossed that you got a space Ann

[mum2a16yrold]

Thanks Maggie. :)

[Flo]

park based is fine by me :)

[Kat the Cobbler]

Hi Treenie - hmm yeah I hadnt thought of that, suppose that's true.
Do you know I've never seen Eeyore yet at a park - he must be busy napping somewhere all the time :D

We did when I went with my friend a few years back. But I lost my best photo of him because I managed to format my camera by accident and deleted all the pictures

[Flo]

Eeyore can usually be found nowadays in the England part of Epcot...and at the Crystal Palace character meals, I don't think you'll find him many other places.

(PS I'm not really that fat, honest - it's a baggy t shirt!!!)

Donald Duck is the most elusive character - we couldn't find him anywhere (and we didn't do Animal Kingdom this year so couldn't do his breakfastasaurus :()

Sarah

**edited to add - noooooooooo about your pics Treenie :( :( I hate it when that happens!**

[mum2a16yrold]

I lost every single one of my Florida photo's, owing to DH formatting the memory card and resetting the numbers, when we put the new pictures onto the computer, it overwrote all the Forida pics, thing was all the thumbnails were still there for ages and we didn't realise until about 18months later when I wanted to start printing them. :angry:

[maggiemae]

That would be the "UK" part of EPCOT I take it :P (she says Scottish pride bristling ;) )
Great photo
:lol: Must remember that excuse about the T-shirt - nice one ;)

We met Donald at Chef Mickey's - it was at the end of the evening and no-one else was around really so the kids had a great laugh with him as you can see :D

oh and in the last photo I'm not really that fat its just the t-shirt - honest :lol: (just teasing Sarah ;) )

[maggiemae]

Oh Anne that's dreadful you must have been so upset - wouldnt want to be in DH's shoes thats for sure :nono:

[Flo]

oh god - how awful!

I have also lost all my pics from my first 9 trips :(

When I left my ex it was in a bit of a hurry (he wasn't a very nice man....nuff said) and so I did not get a chance to back up any digital pics from the camera, or take copies of all the albums of film pics.

So I only have one pic of my two eldest boys with Mickey when they were younger - and that is naff quality as it is scanned from a little wallet sized pic that I had in my wallet (obviously!)

:(

So of course when I went back there last October - my first time since the divorce - I took about 60 billion photos!

It'll still never make up for for all the hundreds (probably thousands) that I have lost though

boo hoo

we're all going to get really depressed now aren't we!

Sarah

[Flo]

so jealous of Donald at Chef Mickeys! he wasn't there when we went - we had Goofy, Chip and Dale, Mickey and Minnie, and Pluto too I think.

sorry - UK part of Epcot! (in my defence it's ages since I've been there, and all I can remember about it is the Rose and Crown pub :) - this last trip we only did Norway and Mexico as the kids couldn't be bothered with any of the countries that didn't have rides!)

and really - that t-shirt is REALLY baggy!! and I was leaning over :D

[mum2a16yrold]

:( :( I had some gorgeous pics of DS with the dolphins at Seaworld too. We are going to Mexico in April and I have promised him we can swim with them there, I DO NOT INTEND LOSING THOSE, I am buying new memory cards for the trip.

[mum2a16yrold]

I will share my favourite photo tomorrow, from our trip to Annaheim, will have to dig it out first.

you can maybe even get them burned to CD while you are still there? many holiday destinations have this service now. I did that in the US this time, and posted the CDs home, just in case!

[maggiemae]

I was going to do that too - but the queue at Walmart was too long and I decided to risk it - I did make sure that I got my favourites printed off (narrowed it down to approx 250 photos) as soon as I got home though

[Polgara]

I've not been to a park yet BUT we are off to DLP in June, so depending on where we end up realative to each other I'll either have been by the time I do your journal or you'll get an entry in anticipation

[Nona]

Hi girls

My worry is loosing pics but DH always takes laptop to store them on at the end of everyday - Memory cards just are big enought for his shutter button happy finger!:lol:

Some cool themes coming out there.

I've seen Eeyore loads in DLRP he's always out and about. Im sure we saw him in Florida too but can't remeber where. He was very funny in the Not so scary halloween parade dressed as a Bee:lol:

Yes Donald is very rarely seen and I don't know why:( he is in the disney cinema parade in disney studios DLRP but never walking around except at christmas when he appeared once outside the castle:)

Must stop this disney chatter and get into town before we have more snow;)

[Nona]

Just told DH I HAVE to go back to florida. All this chatter is bringing back memories of all the bits we missed:( (went just after hurricane in sept/oct 04 and humity entire time was 100% just to humid for me:()

[Kat the Cobbler]

I've never been to Florida. Only been to Paris. :(

[Mrs Mac]

We didn't take pic with a camera the last two trip only used the video 9 I am sure a clever person who be able to take photos of the video!)
And this year I have a fabby new digi camera so there wil be no stopping me, especially as a scrapbooker with a camera is far more dangerouse than a non scrapbooker IYKWIM

Want to do the disney meals this year, been asking Maggie about theis too, but I have 2 teens who only want the other parks with the rides and 2 wee ones who have not seen much of Disney yet. DD age 3 has never been, that how long its taken to get another holiday booked!

[Nona]

Treenie ~ Maybe you'll get there one day. We love Paris so much we are shareholders:D We try and go at least once a year but generally twice if we aren't going anywhere else. I'm lucky in a sense - No children so a little cheaper and esier to save for us;)

Mrs Mac ~ when are you going?

[Mrs Mac]

Fi, I am off on 11th October for 15 days and we are taking the new "cheap flyglobespan" flight, I hope its ok and not too "cheap".
There was to be 15 of us going, but after changing plans to suit others they then deside that IF they go They want to go in the summer!
Waited untill I had booked, why did they not say sooner! Now I dont care, they are all good friend but there were also neg. points about us all going together.(10 kids)

I dont care who goes, as long as I get!

[kate2962]

I'd like to join in if you aren't full yet please -have sent a pm, thanks - i have been to Florida 3 times now and can't wait to go again (no plans as yet to when!!! LOL)

[Kat the Cobbler]

I hope to one day but then again I don't like flying so that always puts me off

I haven't had confirmation from Angie if I'm in yet. Has she been online lately??

[kate2962]

Hi Treenie - where in Northampton are you? I'm in Duston

[Kat the Cobbler]

Hi Treenie - where in Northampton are you? I'm in Duston

cool I'm in Goldings. I was beginning to wonder if anyone else scrapped in this town

[kate2962]

yes there are quite a few of us - i joined in the ladies in Northampton thread too. There are 2 crops that go on that I know about - one in town every other thurs night and one a month on a saturday also near to town

[lara.craft]

Hi scrapbook fairy hope im not to late to join your Cj i have pm'ed you but i suspect i am too late many thanks Heather

[mum2a16yrold]

Well, I don't know if I'm in or not, but if I am, my topic will be characters or stories from the Hundred Acre Wood. (Winnie the Pooh)

[maggiemae]

I've started making mine - have definitely decided on Disney's Best Kept Secrets ;)

Ann - have never really been all that into Winnie the Pooh (shock! horror!) - guess I better go start researching now :)

Heather like your username lara.craft - thats funny!!! :D

[mum2a16yrold]

:o Maggie, that is shocking indeed. :lol: Just pictures of a character would be fine. :)

[Nona]

Hi all

Well I have just finished making my CJ and decorating the front and Im really pleased with it:D

I've also been pricing a trip to florida after all this chat! Now remembered why I hadn't already got one booked :lol:

[mum2a16yrold]

I am itching to start mine, but I daren't until I know if I am in or not. I have got some ideas though just in case. :)

[Kat the Cobbler]

I am itching to start mine, but I daren't until I know if I am in or not. I have got some ideas though just in case. :)

Me neither but i've started making mine anyway. I need to find a font to put "Eeyore" on the front though.

[Nona]

Ann ~ If my calculations are right looking at the postings on the thread I think treenie was the 10th so should think you are in but best to wait to have it confirmed;)

Treenie ~ I have had a look and I have a Pooh & Tigger font but but no Eeyore sorry:(

[kate2962]

if there is enough of us we may be able to do 2 groups

[Nona]

Kate ~ Im sure there are more disney obsessed scrappers to make another group - that would be cool:)

Hope everything is OK with Angie.

[mum2a16yrold]

Yes, I counted and think I am just in, but I suppose it depends if anyone else got their pm in before me. Oh sod it, I am making my journal and if I'm not in, it will turn into a pooh bear book for the kids. :lol:

[Kat the Cobbler]

Yes, I counted and think I am just in, but I suppose it depends if anyone else got their pm in before me. Oh sod it, I am making my journal and if I'm not in, it will turn into a pooh bear book for the kids. :lol:

That was my thinking. I thought I'll make it anyway and then just use it for something else later on.

[lara.craft]

if there is enough of us we may be able to do 2 groups


fi's right i have had a count up and looks like you and i were to late ;) i am off to cry now and maybe wish upon a star that another one opens up soon :)

[Polgara]

I am itching to start mine, but I daren't until I know if I am in or not. I have got some ideas though just in case. :)


I'm right with you there Ann - I want to go shopping for some disney embellies that I've seen - but I daren't until I'm certain that I'm in.

[kate2962]

lets wait and see I don't mind hosting a second group if there are enough people and if Scrapbook fairy doesn't want to host two groups together

[lara.craft]

sounds great i will keep an eye on this thread :)

[Mrs Mac]

As we dont know the final line up, is it safe to say what our CJ will be?
i am sure I am in and I am still thinking what to do.
Fav rides/park/video/song/character...............ooooooooo I just cant make my mind up!

[mum2a16yrold]

I decided to wait to make mine after all, as I want to order some bits for it anyway. :)

[doogle007]

Well, I don't know if I'm in or not, but if I am, my topic will be characters or stories from the Hundred Acre Wood. (Winnie the Pooh)

I love Winnie The Pooh :)

[scrapbook fairy]

[doogle007]

I have finished my front and back cover....:)

[Mrs Mac]

What!

hang on Sue most of us have not even worked out what we are doing :blink:
as the american would say "your the over achiever in the group!"
teachers pet there is always one :P :lol:

might get my thinking cap on today, all my plans for today have gone to pot, started because when I got up this morning it was a snow blizzard and not too much snow on the ground but no school bus, no school, kids at home, arrived at work as I have a class today and they phone to day most could nto make it!

so today I will do my own crafting, once I thaw out my fingers
what are you all busy at?

[Kat the Cobbler]

I've finished my front and back cover and ordered some embellishments to put on my page. I bought some winnie the pooh transfers in the sale in WHSmiths and they come with two pictures to put the transfers on so I've used them as my cover for my book.

[Mrs Mac]

teenie you sound keen to get going..me I am still thinking!

[scrapbook fairy]

Ahhhhh Mrs Mac, you're a giggle.... :lol: I thought we had snow blizzards here today but the pictures of Bonny old Scotland were much worse...We'll come and chip you out......LOL.....

I can't believe that some of you have nearly finished you CJ's off already......

I have only just bought the paper for mine........Feel like a snail on strike.....

Never mind, I will get organised at the weekend, hopefully.....

Noodle, could you PM me you details Please........

Well off to bed now.....

Get Creative Girls........LOL......

Love Angie...xx...... :)

[Mrs Mac]

Angie 2am.....................do you work shifts!

[Kat the Cobbler]

I got some bits for my CJ today. Just some rubons with eeyore on and I'm doing something special for it. I've got a little challenge for you all!!!!

[scrapbook fairy]

WORK.....Perish the thought........LOL.........Only joking....No, I'm a SAHM, for now anyway.....

I'm just in a bad routine of sleeping..........I ended up going to bed at about 4am in the end.....Way past bed time even for me.

So tonight I'm gonna watch Desperate Housewives and have an early night, at last.

Can't beleive it's the 1st of March already, only seems like a few weeks ago we had Christmas....It's passing by much too quickly.....

Thanks for the details Flo and Co, just waiting for Noodle now.....Come on Noodle Doodle.........LOL......

Love Angie....xx......

Treenie................Challenge?

[Flo]

I'm a night owl too - most nights I have an hour or so when I put my youngest up to bed - then I get back up about 9:30 and tend to stay up until 2 - 3 ish most nights. It's the only way I can get anything done, as I'm at work all day and running around after the kids all evening. My other half gets in at 10:00ish - I get his grub and chat to him for an hour or so - then 11pm onwards is my creative time :)

it works for me

as for the CJ - I haven't even thought about starting yet! I've another to get ready for a different circle first. But don't worry, I'm very deadline driven so I'll be ready in time


Sarah

[Mrs Mac]

Evening girls
Whats eveyone up to tonight, have you started your CJ?
I will wait a few days as there are Disney supplies on there way:D

[Flo]

nope - not started yet - I have another CJ due to start on Monday (6th) - so I'd better do that one first!!

[Flo]

see - I told you I was a night owl.....and I have to get up for work at 8am - eeeek!

[Nona]

Flo ~ Hope you got some sleep before going to work;)

did front and back cover and inside covers last weekend. Hope to get the rest done over the weekend. Problem is Im not sure I want to send it as it looks nice on my desk:lol:

Do we know what everyone's theme is yet? I just want to get planning to ensure I have the right supplies (know I need some eeyore & hundred acre wood themed bits).

how's everyone else doing?

[Flo]

yup - but I was up again at 7:30 - yawn!

early night tonight I think :)

[mum2a16yrold]

I am having problems deciding how to decorate my CJ. I can't find exactly what I am after. ;)

[Flo]

like the avatar :)

I ought to dig out my old Disney Crazy avatar - even though I've been told that my stary eyes in it frightened small children!

Nona - my theme is 'Disney Magic'

I agree it would be nice to see a list of all the themes together - could our hostess possibly edit one into the first post?

[Mrs Mac]

Good morning from a very snowy Scotland.


Still thinking about what to choose.


Its going to be Disney........fav video.
That comes from my days as boss of a few video stores, and I loved the Disney films, we had them on all the time in the background.
The only one I never "puchased" ( a perk of the job ) was Alice in Wonderland and Bednobs, never did take a liking to those.
Since then 20years ago, the new type films have never been the same, yes they are great but they are done by computers and its just not the same as the old originals IYKWIM

So thats my choice,

Your Fav Disney Video:D

[Kat the Cobbler]

I love bedknobs and broomsticks.

Are we allowed to include the pixar ones as well because some people are very touchy about those. The way I see it they're disney movies so I don't really care.

I've completed my CJ. I've set my challenge for it as well. I'm all excited now.

[scrapbook fairy]

Hi Girls,

Will update the thread over the weekend with all our themes.......

Having a manic Friday so can't do it tonight.........Meeting myself coming back......LOL.

Love Angie...xx......:)

[Flo]

I love the Pixar movies....but don't worry, my all time 2 fave Disney movies are "proper" cartoons - so as long as nobody else does them before the CJ gets to me you'll be ok....

[Polgara]

Now look who's backed out of my Sci Fi CJ because they are too busy! You can't escape me you know:P

I've paited the front and back cover of my CJ and I've got some bits and pieces coming - I hope to get it finished by the middle of next week. :)

[mum2a16yrold]

I am covering mine in fabric, but I have ordered it from the states so I have to wait for it to get here. It will be 6 x 6 square though so I will get cutting out the mount board for both my CJ's. :)

[Polgara]

I love the look (and feel) of fabric covered CJ's. I was considering doing that for the mum of girls one I'm in. But how do you stop the fabric fraying around the holes?

[mum2a16yrold]

PVA the underside of the fabric, let it dry and then punch the holes. :) I've never had a problem.

[Flo]

Now look who's backed out of my Sci Fi CJ because they are too busy! You can't escape me you know:P


I am waaaaay too busy.....but this is Disney, I just couldn't help myself!!!

I've just given up on the idea of ever actually getting any scrapbooking done ever again......or sleeping ever again!!

Queen of the over commitments.......

[Polgara]

PVA the underside of the fabric, let it dry and then punch the holes. :) I've never had a problem.

Sounds good :)

[scrapbook fairy]

Hi Girls,

Just going to update the first page of the thread this afternoon with our themes, but have noticed that there are 2 very similar ones...........
Doogle007 on page 1, is doing "Favourite Disney Films" and Mrs Mac on page 7is doing "Favourite Disney Video".....Proberly the same........
My fault as I haven't had time until now to update the thread...............Sorry Mrs Mac............Is there another theme that you would possibly be ok to do?.......Sorry Hun..........Or You could do your favourite Movie Charater maybe.?????????

Please check page one to make sure that I have all your themes down right, if not let me know...

Right, off to update now.........

Love Angie...xx......:)

[Nona]

[scrapbook fairy]

Thanks Nona,

Off to update now.................Don't know how I over looked it..........

Love Angie....xx........:)

[Nona]

[Mrs Mac]

I will explain in the CJ but I think you will like it!

[Kat the Cobbler]

OK here is my new theme

Following the leader....

I will explain in the CJ but I think you will like it!

Yay Peter Pan. We're following the leader, the leader the leader. We're following the leader wherever he may be.

[scrapbook fairy]

Thanks Mrs Mac..........Following The Leader sounds good to me.......

My CJ's made, now all I need is an intro.....and a double LO....I'm getting there...........LOL

Love Angie........xx........:)

[mum2a16yrold]

Sorry, just signing back in to this thread as I accidentally deleted it. :rolleyes:

[Nona]

Hi

Well I've nearly finished and was thinking about posting. Are we following the theme list for posting meaning Im posting to Mrs Mac and Doogle is posting to me?

[scrapbook fairy]

Hi Girls,

Please hold off posting for a few days so I can sort out who's posting to who and PM addy's to you all.

Will try and do this for tomorrow night.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Love Angie...xx......:)

[Mrs Mac]

Just came across a great disney link and now going to do some homework.

ANd there is adds on it for Disney credit cards, all different designs, many perks too, but only usa res.:( just as well because I could not have decides which one to have :wacko: THEM ALL!:P )

www.disney.go.com

[scrapbook fairy]

Thanks Mrs Mac.......

I posted the link of the Credit Card to my Sister as she just loves that Mouse.............She once done up her down stairs loo as a shrine to him...........LOL.............

Worse part is like you said, it's only for the US.....She's gonna be green........

Love Angie..xx......:)

[kate2962]

any news on the second group yet?

[scrapbook fairy]

Hi KAte,

I have PM'd Lily 3 times but I know she's really busy at the moment.

I know another host of a different CJ has a B group and she didn't mind as long as it was kept running ok..........So ...........

Let's go for the B group.............

I will be taking you name off of the A group as you have kindly voluntered to run the B group for me, and replacing it with Bridget....

I also have 2 spaces on the B group that have already been filled with people that didn't get into the A..............So on that note we have 7 free spaces going, so if you know anyone that is interested please let me know.

But people have to be committed to send on CJ's...........It's fine if you're running late, but please let me know.....Unfortunatley like I said in previous pages I have had CJ's not returned and it's upsetting, so I don't want any of you to have that worry and upset.

I will be doing the address swaps tonight and tomorrow so we should (in A Group) have them in the next 24hours.

And once I have all B group[ will swap addy's for them.

Have fun!

Love Angie.xx.....:)

[kate2962]

Angie I wasn't on group A as I missed out by about 2 places I think, glad that group B are getting going - I expect our dates can be worked out once we have a full list

[scrapbook fairy]

Ok Kate, no worries...........

Will you be pulling them in off the streets??????....LOL...........:lol:

Love Angie....xx........:)

[mum2a16yrold]

Well, I am getting worried now. My fabric hasn't come from the states yet for my cover, so I may have to re-think the whole cover thing. :angry:

[Flo]

:( what a pain :( it's stressy having to come up with a new plan at short notice....

I sorted my cover last night, now I just have to do everything else (intro, sign in, my layout)

having to resist the temptation to throw all my Disney stash at it as I'll need it for my layouts in everybody else's books (not to mention my Florida holiday album which is still nowhere near finished, which is what I bought all the stash for in the first place!)

Sarah

[mum2a16yrold]

I have just put an order in with one of the sponsors for some Disney papers, stickers etc. Hopefully they will be here by Monday if not I am really sorry. I had ordered fabric, embellies etc. from the states and they haven't arrived yet. Hopefully one or the other will be here by then. :rolleyes:

[kate2962]

do you think it OK to post a thread on the CJ forum linking it to this asking if anymore people are interested?

[Flo]

I don't see why not....

[kate2962]

it is done - lets hope it has the desired effect!!!

[Guillyflower]

I might be interested :) I have never done a CJ and would have to check out what to do and the date for posting - how long would I have?

just my layout in it to do now....

[doogle007]

Just seen your front cover Angie...lovely work :) I have mine finished just need to find something to post it in so it will be winging it's way to you tomorrow Fi....:)

[mum2a16yrold]

Sue, I am posting to you, but unfortunately my stuff hasn't arrived yet for my CJ, I ordered from the states about 2/3 weeks ago, but it hasn't arrived, so I have re-ordered from one of the sponsors and that hasn't arrived yet. Hopefully one or the other will arrive in the next couple of days and I will get it done and posted out to you straight away. I know what I am doing just can't do it yet. ;)

[doogle007]

Thanks Ann....will stalk the postie for a couple of days...hopefully your bits will arrive :)

[gemster]

Look out Ruth my princess cj is packed and ready to fly your way! WARNING ITS VERY GIRLY!!!!:lol:

[Nona]

Karen ~ My CJ is complete and will be heading through the snow to you up there tomorrow:D

[Kat the Cobbler]

Mine's all parcelled and ready to post.

[lara.craft]

made a start just need to let some bits dry before i can continue :)

[kate2962]

I still have mine to start on but have the papers and idea - just need to make a start

[Flo]

just finishing mine off now - nothing like leaving it to the last minute!!

[Polgara]

I am really really sorry - but my CJ will be a day or so late I think. I was right ob track then got a message on Saturday that Ofsted are in on Wednesday and everything apart form school work has had to go on hold.

I am absolutely terrified of Ofsted - I had an awful experience years ago when my school failed (it was all the fault of our rotton head now happily on list 99 and banned from schools) - and even thinking about Wednesday has me on hte edge of tears.

I have never been late with a CJ before :( :( :( I've done the covers, intro and sign in - it's just my ebtry I have to do - It will be finished as soon as I can

[maggiemae]

Finishing ( well starting really!!!!) my entry in the CJ this morning and will post this afternoon :D

[Flo]

Ruth - do you know who you are posting on to? if you could just let them know directly you'll be a little late (in case they don't see the thread) I'm sure they won't mind

good luck with the Ofsted thing....

[darm]

got some more bits today for the disney scrapbook. am ona roll. my book rings should arrive today but they didnt come with normal post. purhaps later ina aprcel as i couldnt resis getting bg papers as well.

[mum2a16yrold]

Aaaaarrrrrgghhh........ nothing in the post for me again today. Sorry everyone, but especially Sue, as soon as it gets here I will do it straight away I promise, I feel so bad doing this right at the beginning. :(

Ruth I know what you mean about OFSTED, I am a childminder and we get inspected by them now, they can put the fear of God in you with a single glance. :rolleyes: Hope it all goes OK. :)

[gemster]

Ruth posted mine today!B)

[Nona]

Karen ~ all posted :D

[Flo]

Angie - mine is on its way too

Ruth - looking at the list that Angie typed up on one of the first threads, I reckon you are posting on to me, is that right? (Sarah Harris)

in which case, don't panic yourself in the slightest - I wouldn't have started work on your CJ until after next weekend anyway, so you have a week's grace :)

Sarah

[doogle007]

Mine is on it's way Fi....watch out for the postie hopefully it will arrive tomorrow :)
Ann...don't panic...what size pages is your journal..I might be able to make start...?

[mum2a16yrold]

Sue, they are 15cm x 15cm and the holes are 3/4cm in from the edge. I can't help but panic, as the sp0onsor I ordered off hasn't sent anything to say it is on it's way and they ususally do, I did put on the order that it was urgent though. ;)

[doogle007]

Thanks Ann....how many holes are there?...maybe you should send another email to the sponsor....hopefully your goodies will be with you soon...normally sponsor deliveries are very quick...

[mum2a16yrold]

3, 1 in the middle and the other 2 are 1" from the top and bottom, I hope this helps and once again I am really sorry. Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

[darm]

i am hoping my stuff comes tomorrow. i expeced it today. where did you buy from? i ordered my book rings from jillybeans

[mum2a16yrold]

Capture the Magic, but my first lot that I ordered 3 weeks ago was from a US Ebay store. ;)

[scrapbook fairy]

Hi Ann,

Don't panic too much I'm sure there'll be here soon.............I have to admit I didn't get to post my CJ on today as I made a bit of a BOO BOO, and put a title on it that someone else has............Total mistake, so I am having to change the title.......Will post on Thursday morning for you Treenie, so sorry for the delay.

If I can get it done any earlier I will, but can't promise.......Will leave a message on here to confirm it's gone on thursday.

Looks really good doesn't it,......... the Host being late..............LOL..........

Just reminding you Girls, that CJ's must be sent "Recorded Delivery".

Hope you're all having fun.

Love Angie....xx.........:)

[scrapbook fairy]

Don't know if you've seen this Girls but Dawn in one of the forums has posted that Photobox (.co.uk) are doing a special offer at the moment which is 10, 10x8 photos for £1-00, and when your register (which is free) you also get 30free credits..........How great is that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But.................Your'll have to be quick as the offer finishes today (14th March) at midnight.....So go get them photo's sorted.........LOL.........:lol:

Just thought I'd pass it along incase anyone missed it.

Love Angie..xx......:)

What do you mean, did you not like Robbie, that was my first ever CJ, not the norm I know, but I thought it was good.:(

[maggiemae]

I think Robbie's fab - honest! (although it hasnt reached me yet - just saw it briefly last October at the SECC when it changed hands) - First dressed CJ I've seen :P

[maggiemae]

Kat - postman has just delivered your Eeyore CJ - its lovely. What a great idea...will have to get my thinking cap on!!!!

[Kat the Cobbler]

Kat - postman has just delivered your Eeyore CJ - its lovely. What a great idea...will have to get my thinking cap on!!!!

I like the pink button the best. My mum was sorting out her old sewing stuff when i was doing it so i nicked it from her.

I haven't had one yet :( though I received two yesterday (my team one which is now finished, and the purple rain one).

[Flo]

Kat - Angie said she would not be posting to you until tomorrow morning...

[Flo]

Angie - have you received my CJ yet? It is showing as "delivered" on the Royal Mail website, so I hope so!

[mum2a16yrold]

Maggie, it's here!!!!!! It is lovely, I never thought of a PBB for a CJ, what a great idea. I am now off to get my thinking cap on.
Mine will be in the post this afternoon. :)

[Mrs Mac]

Fiona, Mickey has entered the building! Love it:D

[maggiemae]

Maggie, it's here!!!!!! It is lovely, I never thought of a PBB for a CJ, what a great idea. I am now off to get my thinking cap on.
Mine will be in the post this afternoon. :)


Happy to admit I "borrowed"the idea from Elfin and Madcarole on 2 others CJs I was in. Thats what I love about CJs though - seeing all the clever ideas other people think up (and then stealing them :D !!!!)

[Flo]

The last CJ I was in also had a paper bag book for one of the journals - I had never seen one "in the flesh" before (and to be honest had always thought they were a rather odd invention)

But I had to admit it was super super cute - and ideally suited to being a circle journal as the sign in tags went in the little pockets between pages, therefore they were right there next to their entries - neat.

I still haven't been brave enough to attempt to make one myself though

Sarah

[darm]

made my book. jusy ,y page to do. whats happening with book 2?

[Nona]

Karen ~ Glad it reached you safely and that you like it:D

Ann ~ Wow :wub: the CJ I picked it up this afternoon:D Need to think v. carefully about my LO now - WHich film? I love them all.

Thanks to this CJ and disney chat, we are off to book a trip to WDW on Saturday:wacko: this time next year I will be there!(hopefully!):D

[doogle007]

Fi....glad my cj arrived ok :)

[mum2a16yrold]

Well, what a wally I am, guess who forgot all about Wednesday half day closing in our village. DURH!!!! :wacko: It is all packed and ready so I will post first thing in the morning Sue. Sorry, again......

[doogle007]

[Mrs Mac]

Those BIG letter you use, are they die cuts ?
And I peeked at your cj:D

[Polgara]

[scrapbook fairy]

Hi Sarah,

Just letting you know that your CJ arrived yesterday, sorry I forgot to let you know, It went straight out of my mind.

It's really lovely.

Treenie, I am really sorry but I tried to take off my title on my CJ and it riped all the paper underneath, so I am having to recover it. I have ordered the paper from one of the sponsers and it should be here tomorrow, so as soon as I receive it I'll get it done as soon as i can....At the moment I have had 4 of my Family desend on me today till Friday so I am looking at the weekend now......So sorry............:(

It is 8x8, if you wanted to start doing a page to go in it.

Love Angie.....xx.........:)

[gemster]

Ruth I'm glad it got to you safely:D

[doogle007]

Sue, I had a wee peek at your gallery, fantastic LO, beautiful animals, where were you? Have you done a whole album on that trip?
Those BIG letter you use, are they die cuts ?
And I peeked at your cj:D

I am making 4 zoo albums at the moment...most of the LO's are from Drusillas Zoo here in East Sussex...the letters are BG monograms and chip chatter letters from Pressed Petals + MM stamps. Thankyou for taking a peek...

[Kat the Cobbler]

[mum2a16yrold]

Just popped on to let you know, I am in the middle of a domestic crisis, my DS (16) walked out last night and hasn't come home, I am a bit frantic, so will post it on the school run this afternoon. Apologies again.

[Flo]

nightmare - Ann - I have a (2 weeks off) 16yo DS myself and know what they are like so I am sure yours is fine - but still an awful worry :(

[Mrs Mac]

Big hug to you Ann, teens are hard work!

Some one once said "mother of teenagers undestand why wild animals eat their young"

Hope hes OK and just being a stroppy teen.

Gemma, I have done Fionas CJ, and as I am away for easter and before and after that I have to move a business as very short notice, I would like to send it to you along with the missing return to sender tag from my own one before it goes any further, let me know if this is OK with you.

[maggiemae]

Ann - have PM'd you :(

Karen - you sook - cant believe you have finished already :lol:

[Flo]

Ann - have you heard from your son yet?
thinking of you....

[Nona]

Karen ~ wow how organised are you!

Ann ~ Thinking of you and sending you {{hugs}} I hope things are sorting themselves out. My niece did the same at christmas 2004 (she was 16 too)! She came back and all was well in the end despite her continuing Teenage ways;) its obviously the age.

[Mrs Mac]

Karen - you sook - cant believe you have finished already :lol:

The differnce being I wanted to do it:D , others that arrive I look at until its posting time and still have not got any idea what to do ( ie Myths):wacko:

And I went to work early, it took my mind off all the other stuff I have to do in the next few weeks, the lul before the storm!

[Polgara]

Sarah - did my CJ land with you today?

[Flo]

not yet Ruth - I'm sure it'll arrive tomorrow....

[mum2a16yrold]

Mine will definitely be posted in the morning. Sorry again for the delay.
DS eventually turned up at 6.30 this evening, but he won't tell me where he has been. ;)

[Flo]

oh dear - that doesn't sound good - I take it he didn't go to school? (assuming he is still at school)

I hope you get it sorted.

[mum2a16yrold]

No he didn't and he is doing his GCSE's this year, that is the problem that started all this he keeps skipping school and it is frustrating because he is a really bright kid, he just can't be bothered. ;) Going to see his head of year tomorrow, so hopefully may find out more then.

[Flo]

tell me about it! I got dragged in to see the dep head yesterday for similar reasons. Mine isn't skipping school thankfully, but he is putting zero effort into his GCSEs, he flunked all his mocks and his coursework was all either not done or late and very half hearted.

he'd just rather go out with his mates everynight! To be honest I barely see him as he goes out before I get home from work, and doesn't come in until 11-ish most nights (a lot later at weekends), and is straight up the stairs.

the only good thing with mine is that he has done well on the two bits of real exams he has done so far (they have already taken part of their Science GCSE and part of Geography, and he got an A in both) - so I know that he CAN knuckle down at the last minute when he needs to and do last minute cramming.

His coursework will bring his grades down though, and I don't think his last minute cramming technique will work so well when he has a fortnight stuffed full of exams instead of one part paper totally on its own....

[mum2a16yrold]

OMG Sarah, are they twins. :lol:

[mum2a16yrold]

My CJ is now in the 'capable' hands of the Royal Mail. ;)

[Flo]

Ruth - it's just plopped onto my desk :)

haven't opened it yet....waiting till I get home....just wanted you to know it has arrived safely

Sarah

[Polgara]

Thanks Sarah:)

[scrapbook fairy]

Hi Girlies!

Thank Goodness it's Friday..........LOL.....

I have had a really stressful week, to say the least...

I ordered my paper (Tuesday) with a sponser that normally sends out next day and I still haven't received it....:angry: ......I rang up today (4-45pm) and they said that they were just sending it today and I should have it on Monday as the last post had already gone..............I could scream.........

I have always got my things the next day from there.

I went to the local craft store and they didn't have any, so I really want to stamp my feet and shout very very loudly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!arghhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Enough about me...........

Ann, so glad that DS is home and safe............They are such a worry at that age.........My DS is nearly 20 and a little darling, but DD I certainly know that I have her...............Bless her little cotton socks.....LOL......

Kat, I am sorry for the delay but as soon as I get the paper I will do it straight away and get it off in the post for you.

Hope everyone is having fun!

Have a great weekend!

Love Angie....xx..........:)

[doogle007]

Ann....your CJ arrived this morning...it's very cute. I will have to get my thinking cap on :)

[mum2a16yrold]

Oooh, goody, thanks for letting me know. :)

[Mrs Mac]

Morning girls, this thread is real QT.
Gem did you get the album? Can I send you the next one?

Ann I hope it has all settled down in your house.

You must all be busy doing the LO or booking your hols now that you are in the mood again!

[Flo]

neither (I wish to the holiday booking! we might make it to DLP this year, but can only afford Florida once in a blue moon, and we went last October, so..... :()

just had a really busy weekend so haven't been on the boards much if at all

I received Ruth's lovely "Disney music" CJ last week and will be starting on it as soon as I've got a couple of other commitments (with tighter deadlines) out of the way....

[Polgara]

I've printed the photos for my entry in GEmsters Princess CJ - but am waiting on a few embelies I have ordered before I do hte pages

BTW Gem - where did you get the fabby shaker box from. DId you make it? Maegan is vvv impressed with it. :)

[doogle007]

Morning girls....just got up...but I do work nights so have an excuse :)
I have finished Ann's cute CJ...had some time at the crop yesterday....

[gemster]

Mrs Mac I do indeed have your CJ - sorry was in Brighton at the weekend. Its fine to pass on the next one, will keep me out of trouble!

Ruth the shaker box was from paper arts it is lovely, I almost didnt use it, thought i could just stroke it forever:lol:

[gemster]

bumping this back up

am i all alone?

[Polgara]

No - I'm around - though I shouldn't be. I SHOULD be writing my application letter to my head teacher. I want to move from part time to full time and there is a post going. But I still have to do a proper letter and it's being an absolute pain.

[maggiemae]

I'm here too

Just "popped" on to the computer to track down some pictures for Treenies CJ - will probably end up on here all night now :D

Ruth - your little green light is out - hope that means you are getting on with your letter. That's quite a big step going back to full time.
