My buddy...
Thanks for joining Karen.

Welcome Janice. Looks like we meet again. I have my idea for your button swap but that is all. Hope to work on it very soon as I need to get to Hobby Lobby for some new buttons to play with.

doorknocker3 · 06-21-2011, 06:42 AM

Good morning! It's officially the first day of summer and the weatherman says it'll be 103 today!

-Maryellen

doorknocker3 · 06-21-2011, 01:08 PM

Welcome Maryellen. It seems like I'm using flowers more and more. They look so nice and work for almost all projects.

doorknocker3 · 06-21-2011, 06:05 PM

First day of summer and it hit 103 today! EEEK!

doorknocker3 · 06-22-2011, 07:37 AM

Good morning! I can't believe the month of June is already close to ending.

Hope everyone stays cool today!

MyNewHobby08 · 06-23-2011, 07:15 AM

Hi....can we use fabric too?

doorknocker3 · 06-23-2011, 01:22 PM

MyNewHobby08,
Hey there! Thanks for the question. I originally thought paper only, but then realized that there are so many cute flowers using ribbon and fabric. So, YES, you can use fabric too. I'll change the details to reflect the addition.

Thanks, can I add a spot or two for ya?

MyNewHobby08 · 06-23-2011, 03:14 PM

Please put me down for 2 spots!! Thank you!!

doorknocker3 · 06-23-2011, 05:22 PM

Two spots it is! Thanks for joining.

Did anyone notice the tutorial this week? Felt flowers - pretty cool!

doorknocker3 · 06-24-2011, 06:45 AM

TGIF!

It's going to be a GREAT day today I just know it!

mwebber · 06-24-2011, 04:30 PM

Hi Dorlene! Would you accept crepe paper flowers? I found a techinque on how to
make these cute flowers and I already have a stash of them made. If you do accept
them, could I have a second spot to make dictionary/vintage paper flowers?

Thanks!
Maryellen

MandaKaye · 06-25-2011, 03:04 PM

Tagging along until I know I have time...

Nj7477 · 06-25-2011, 03:34 PM

I'd love two spots

Thanks!
Nicole

doorknocker3 · 06-26-2011, 12:19 PM

MaryEllen - I don't know what crepe flowers are but they sound like they would fit in so I'll go ahead and add one more spot for you.

Welcome Nicole Nj7477 - I'll put you down for two spots!

MandaKaye - anytime you're ready just let me know

Scrap2bhappynnc · 06-26-2011, 08:55 PM

I keep coming to this swap and I guess that means I am supposed to sign up so I would like 2 spots please. LOL. I have been watching some videos on 3d flowers and these things are addictive. I can't wait to get started. Thanks for hosting.

doorknocker3 · 06-27-2011, 06:48 AM

Welcome msscrapyr! Yes, the paper flowers are addictive. I've been making a lot of different ones too.

librarian · 06-27-2011, 08:54 AM

I'll take a spot, please.

doorknocker3 · 06-27-2011, 11:42 AM

One of my very good friends is a school librarian and she calls herself Library Girl or sometimes just LG for short. LOL It's awesome!

doorknocker3 · 06-29-2011, 07:36 AM

Today's my Friday. I'm taking the next two days off work to visit my parents. They have a scrapbook store near them (there's nothing up my way) so I'm definately stopping by to do some shopping!

doorknocker3 · 06-30-2011, 06:34 AM

Morning Bump - if anyone feels like it, I'd appreciate some bumping for the next few days!

Have a great holiday!

Chantsie · 06-30-2011, 07:08 AM

What a great idea for a swap!!! I will take three spots please! I have to experiment with these for a class I'll be teaching in the fall, so this will motivate me to start early!

Chantal

delanrnstamps · 06-30-2011, 09:35 AM

Be happy to help Dorlene. If anyone else can too I do work weekends so I won't always be online.

Chantal, Dorlene will be back in a few days to sign you up...welcome.

I absolutely love your way of thinking MaryEllen. I don't even have to make flowers or cards to get out of housework this weekend. I'm going to 2 concerts (at least) today. SUMMERFEST is on...the worlds largest music festival (11 days), and I'm going to see 'Fitz and the Tantrums' and then 'Maroon 5'.
Hope everyone has a great weekend. D.

craftidomesticdiva · 07-02-2011, 11:59 AM

Happy 4th everyone!

I'd love to take 2 spots - I adore making 3D flowers!!

Thanks!
