CNY Stamps "The Gathering"

[lindylou1220]

I'll be updating throughout the day and then closing after that. Any last minute requests need to reach me before then, please.

Gayla, tell me your friend's name as I do have at least one newbie with the registrations received while I was traveling.

Linda- are we dividing into two groups?
or making all shoe boxes😃

[lindylou1220]

I don’t know the answer to your question yet, Gayla. I’ll be pondering that over next few days. Meanwhile, I am leaning towards dividing since I think doing that many will be overwhelming, especially for the newbies.

Other opinions?

[lindylou1220]

We are officially closed at 26. Hope to update swaps over the next day or two. I am leaning towards shoeboxes being in groups of 13. Please comment if you disagree and tell me why.

[lindylou1220]

What great participation in the swaps! I am still waiting for a response before I can finalize the counts but they are pretty darn close.

Please check to be sure you're on the lists you've planned on and/or LMK if you'd like to be added or removed anywhere. Thanks.

[snowcountry311]

I’m good- I’m in all

[lindylou1220]

Thanks for confirming, Gayla.

Working on ideas

[lindylou1220]

Ideas are always good, Linda. ;-)

[lindylou1220]

Swap counts are now final. All counts include one for you and one for door prize.

17 - SUO card front

21 - NVR front - sympathy or get well

15 - Fancy fold full card

22 - Make it Merry full card

[lindylou1220]

After much thought, and few comments, you'll be making up 13 kits for your project + 4 completed cards. Here's more info:

Thirteen Kits -- Please make up 13 kits for your project as follows:

• The 13 kits will cover you for two of the AM/PM tables to recreate your project (count includes you)
• Extra parts for oopsies
• Any special adhesive, etc. needed to complete the card

Four Completed Projects -- Please bring 4 completed projects as follows:

• One for AM/PM tables to follow (with brief instructions)
• Two for the baskets on the display table (both for door prizes) and
• One to pin to the display board (ultimately to hostess)

[lindylou1220]

Thanks, Gayla. Hope everyone sees it and feels the same.

[paddenl]

I am done, done and done.

[lindylou1220]

Good, better, best, Lorraine!

[lindylou1220]

No chatter here since I've been away so that must mean that things are going swimmingly. LMK if you need anything.

All is good in my hood.

There was no doubt in my mind.

Yes, Gayla is definitely an original.

[paddenl]

Ah yes, you are an OG.

[snowcountry311]

Linda am I correct- no gift swap?

[lindylou1220]

Yes, that’s correct. No gift swap.

[melaniemonette]

Just and FYI, I oops'd and made 20 kits of table projects so I will have extra kits in case anyone wants to swap kits with me... I don't think I've ever just made 13 for the tables lol

[lindylou1220]

Hi Melanie, those with extra kits are welcome to swap. However, if anyone wants to *make* the projects, that can only happen once all the table participants have had a chance to finish. Thanks.

[snowcountry311]

finished up my last swap. have my samples for my shoebox. all bits cut up
only thing left is to write my instructions
next week I will bake

[lindylou1220]

Hope everyone is in as good a shape as you, Gayla.

Hello Ladies and happy fall. I'll be collecting any extra old swaps or cards you may not need or will use for my "Stamping for the Community" each month. For the past 6 months I have met with several ladies to make, sort, and remake cards for such organizations such as the Cancer society, 2 local churches, The Nic-U unit nurses at Rochester General, 2 Veterans homes.. some are support cards, calendar cards, thank you cards and many many general cards. All cards are welcomed. Thank you so much for your support. The next few months, cards will be going to a local nursing home, meals on wheels, and our Veterans..
