[smadson]

Good morning! Time for fun!

[luvtostampstampstamp]

Whoot, whoot! Take that Monday! THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS FABULOUS FESTIVAL BACK TO LIFE!! . I have been giddy with excitement and joy about it!

[annsforte3]

Morning everyone!!

Some wonderful challenges to help you get going on the holidays today!!

Hi Sharon, Rebekah, Kathy, Pansy, Tracie, Anita, and whomever else might be here!!!

[JRHolbrook]

YAY! Have a busy day and won't be back until tonight to check out the challenges! Have fun ladies!

[FayeMakesCards]

I have finished my breakfast, now I'll look at the master thread and see what I can think about while I'm cooking and baking most of today...

Will need to make 2 runs of deliveries into town as I can't make the gas station guys wait until late afternoon for their cookies today! :lolo:

[smadson]

I have a question. I know you don’t usually combine challenges, but wondered if Dina’s tutorial challenge can be combined with say, Lydia’s Falliday Fest challenge?
Thanks.

[muscrat]

You can combine challenges as long as they both aren't falliday fest challenges. And you can combine all falliday fest challenges if you arent going for yeti status, which needs to have a separate entry for each challenge. Does that make sense?

[dini]

The ultimate purpose of these challenges is to produce as many cards as possible - that's why we don't combine. On the other side of that - we want you to be creating things that you need to create and that you will use, so if a combination is working for you and you're creating something that fills a need for your holiday giving, please don't feel restricted.

[smadson]

Thanks. I just didn’t know if the Falliday Challenges and tutorial ones were separate. .

Have to upload my purse after breakfast. Kathy, can you believe I did that one first? LOL

[annsforte3]

Way to go Sharon, so proud that you tackled the folding of the purse!!

[annsforte3]

Reminder to add your cards to the Falliday Fest Gallery, found under Events & Special Collections!!

[muscrat]

Yay sharon!

[mcschmidty]

Sneeking in to peek at the postings for today. I am out of town and did bring a small selection of crafting necessities.... but left before a very long list of supplies was posted.
I am glad to see we have until the 21st to post all of our cards. I will be back home and stamp ready by the 10th!

Shelly

[annsforte3]

Hi Shelly, enjoy your trip!! Can't wait to see what you come up with upon your return!!

Hugs, dear friend!

[Hawaiian]

Aloha Sistahs!! Just popping in to say Hi as I've been having really bad migraines but wanted wish everyone best creations and most of all have fun!!! I join and create when it's cooler or these migraines leave me alone long enough to keep my eyes open long enough to look or read into my phone to play along. Mahalos Fairy Much To everyone making this possible and bringing it back this year !!!Much Love Too All!!

[annsforte3]

Victoria, so sorry to hear you have migraines! No fun!! Rest and come back to create!

[Vannie]

HI all. My first Falliday Fest, and I'm liking the slower pace. Not feeling well today, so I'm reading, looking at the photos of your cards, and letting ideas run through my head. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be hands on.

[dini]

Vannie, yay! Our schedule is every other day (M-W-F), so you'll have plenty of time to catch up. I like this pace too.

[sunstamper]

I got all 3 challenges and the Tutorial done. What a fun first day!

Remember that the criteria for prizes has varied. I've no idea what it is this year, but two years ago Yeti status was just all the challenges while the previous year it included having done X (was it 3?) of the tutorials as separate projects.

I'm not going to try to check back as my phone has died and I'm on an older, smaller one.

Good to know. I won't look for anything today and I can have some breathing space. Yay!

Oh, good, I was gone all day yesterday! Now, there won't be so much pressure with new challenges added to the first 3. Super idea!

Didn't know this...I won't go looking.

As for prizes, I didn't remember there were prizes! I won't be doing all the challenges but I will do what I can and enjoy the journey.

[contrapat]

OK, I had been looking for today's challenges since 7 AM, but now I see it's M-W-F. I guess I'll stop looking for today.


Yesterday DH stayed home from work, not feeling well. Guess what that did to me getting any crafting done?

I was also looking everywhere for an unmounted stamp that's perfect for the Let's Face It challenge, and just couldn't find it. Found it this morning, um, in the unmounted stamp box. Who'd have thought, right???

[dini]

Hahaa! I have this little die set I need to use too.

[annsforte3]

Morning everyone!!

Isn't it nice though with the M-W-F for challenges, you get time to catch up!!

[c-mouse]

so I have my card for first challenge done and my tags for challenge 3, and am pondering on dini's challenge. I did a quicky but haven't assembled yet....thinking ,,,,thinking,,,,,trying not to blow any circuts......

I think having the day between is going to result in me making multiples of challenges- I have about 6 versions of my face card going right now.

I knew right away what I wanted to use for Dini's, what I'm contemplating is the Blue Thanksgiving...

[annsforte3]

Pansy, don't overload those circuits!!!

[smadson]

I am lazy today, and have only been doing things like laundry, dishes, straightening, etc. just can’t get creative. But, now in my craft room, so maybe some creative juices are starting.

[contrapat]

Ever get to the bottom of your cup of tea, and find a scrap of cardstock???

[muscrat]

So I guessed the announcement that it was M-W-F. Was looking before I left and then again when I got home! When I saw Dina's note, I thought she meant just the tutorials.

No, but found grounds in my coffee! LOL. Can't you just hear Carly Simon singing you're so vain? LOL
