My July kits are in the mail, sorry they went so late, you ladies will probably not receive your kits for two weeks as they are coming from Canada but they are coming. I did not send Angela's kits either. Hope you ladies enjoy.

Dea, no worries on them going out late....you've met the mailing deadline, so relax and wait for your thank you's!
I got my July kit from Kristyn today! Love the colors and designs of the papers, such cute images, die cuts and perfect embellies to go with them. Thanks so much for a great kit! Wish I had time to make cards today....

JCI to say good morning. I have a Group 5 July kit ready to send but am going to hold on to it just incase the July person has decided not to participate.
Oh, I forgot to post that Pat handed me her July kit for group 8 over the weekend. Hand delivered! How cool is that?!? It is an awesome kit with such a great variety of images, paper, die cuts, and embellies. And she went a little overboard with ribbon too. But that's a good thing because you know I LOVE RIBBON!!! lol Thanks so much Pat!!
So Ladies....Some of you have inquired about the next round of this swap....so here's what I'm thinking....since we've had a bunch of flakers, (more than I like)....I'm going to redo the format of this swap....instead of a direct mail other players, I'm going to set up like a normal swap....everything comes to me, then I distribute out....3+1, and have different groups you can join by theme, you can take as many spots as you want, mail in everything together and I'll sent it back to you. I'm thinking one round we can do by theme, such as....santa group, animal group, snowmen group, etc.....then next round we can do a color swap, still christmas, but say like, green/red, pink/teal, cranberry/forest green, etc....
what do ya'll think? I personally am kinda excited about this....this way nobody has the headache of if your group is mailing in or not...
if you have any suggestions of themes or color combo's let me know...I'm making a list of ideas so that we can do several rounds this way...
I love this idea. Fairies...., red green and white... Gold and green...purple and cream. Oh there are so many combos...
As you can see I am quite excited and will be joining.

Yippie!! there will be a few of us at least....Look forward to seeing it around the end of the month...let everyone get caught up with this, have time to sign up, get aug out and time to do the next round...
Christmas Fairies? I don't think I've seen that before....hum?! (scratching my head)
I came home today to wonderful mail. Pat thank you very much. My week has been very busy and extremely stressful at work. I have not been able to really play in my craft room since I started French but that is going to change on Friday. It is my earned Day Off so I plan on spending my entire day crafting. The dog we are puppy sitting better be in for a very boring day...lol. Seriously though Pat, thank you the kit is wonderful. I love the papers and all the goodies you sent. I should be able to make four full embellished cards with what you sent. Thank you.
I have Holly Fairy, mistletoe fairy and I have snow lady Fairy or in another language maybe US English (lol) I have holly angel, mistletoe angel and snow lady angel....

Christmas fairies, eh? Is that Canadian for Christmas angel? Just teasing you, Dea. You know we (heart) you!!
Oh, Kristyn. I see in your siggy you've started two new swaps! I've been waiting for a new recipe swap. Yay!!

we could always just call this group....."things with Wings".
Ladies-I just wanted to let you know that AuntAngie got all her kits (may, june & Aug) mailed yesterday...please let me know when they start arriving.
YES! they are ALL in the mail. So sorry for being MIA this summer. ALL of the kits I owe for both group #1 and group #5 are mailed off. Dea, you are in both groups, so I put both kits I owe you in one envie. Again, I appologize. I have been having issues with a couple of my own swaps and I should not have let my issues spill over into Kristyn's swap and made things harder for her. She has been an absolute angel and not kicked me to the curb, and for that I am grateful. Thank you Kristyn for being so understanding.

Angie- you are very welcome! I know what your going thur over there in your swap....You kit from me will be in the mail this week...
Dea, Thanks for letting me know your kit arrived, when it takes longer than "I" think it should I imagine all these nightmare things happening....so happy they didn't.
Kristyn, count me in. Sounds like the new swap will be fun. I'm excited. Too bad there have been so many flakers in this round. It just isn't fair, but no way to avoid it either. Thanks for hosting.
Krystyn I got your kit today it is lovely, I can't wait to play, must must get house work done this morning as we are heading to a friends cottage for a couple of days. I will post what I create later. I finished a lovely card from Pats kit aka lois777 (I think that is her name) I will post her card at the same time.
I must say I truly love these kits and I will definitely sign up for your next swap.
Hi Dea, Can't wait to see your latest creation! Just to clarify, Pat Boisclair is Pat and lois577 is me, Lois. We are friends and both of us live in Venice so I can see how you got us mixed up. I don't think you have received your July kit from me yet but it is on its way to you.

I'm glad you like it! (now if I could remember what I sent) LOL!
good afternoon ladies....Glad to see that the kits are on the move again!
end of the month I will start the next round. Once I start, I'll post the link here...First round I'm going to have a little longer sign up period, after that, I'm hoping to do a quicker turn around time than a normal swap, since these are so easy to put together.
I got my August kit from Angie today! Makes me feel guilty because I haven't sent out my July kit yet. Ugh! Anyway, I love it Angie! Everything is so pretty and perfect! Thanks so much!!
