It came, I am so excited

I spent about 1 1/2 hours on January 1st trying to order this kit. The web site kept shutting down. I wasn't sure that I even got in to place an order. Every one started getting their kits right away, and I wasn't hearing anything. Finally I called the company and was told that they had no record of my order. Since the kits were sold out there was nothing that could be done. Besides the ones that were getting their kits many were also placed on back order. It took over two months for the back ordered kits to come in, and then the company started shipping them. I finally get an email with a shipping number on it, but once again I check with the company and they still don't have any record of my order. Didn't know if it would come or not. Was so thrilled to see this in the mail yesterday. Thankfully, I have been keeping my pictures up to date. (Check out my project 365 blog, link on the side). Started putting the kit together today. Almost done with the first two months.

Are you getting tired of JYC yet?

I spent the weekend at a crop that our church was hosting. What a great time. My goalwas to complete my JYC album. I am sure that your are thrilled to know that I am almost done. I have to get some more pictures developed, but otherwise all pages are complete. Now I can move on to Sarah's album. I really am hoping to get caught up with her stuff now. I have all of her 7th grade year cropped and the paper picked out. Will see what happens next.

Journal Your Christmas Again

I keep plugging away at this album. I am really looking forward to getting it finished. Hoping to finish next weekend while I am at an overnight crop.

More Journal Your Christmas

I am finally getting a chance to work some more on my Journal Your Christmas Album. Here are another 6 pages. I have really enjoyed doing this and can't wait to get the entire album finished.

Valentine's Day

This was a joint effort between Kristen and myself. She tells me earlier in the week that she needs Valentines Day at school. Wouldn't have been a big deal, except this is conference week so I have to stay at school late two nights and have meeting the other nights. Anyway, I woke up at normal time this morning (even thought I didn't have school) so that I could get a box for made for her. She then had fun using up some of my embellishments and stamps to decorate her box. I think that this box is going to have to last for another 2 years. I can't be doing this daily. Of course this was done with no pattern. If I would have been smart I would have searched for a pattern online and printed it out while at school. Wait I couldn't do that because even though we had conferences and needed access to grades the computer search engines for the district were turned all blocked. At least she had fun and doesn't have a plain box or bag. Kristen has to be a little different from the norm.

Disney Swaps done

Okay, I belong to this totally awesome online group ScrappiestDisneySwapping. They are an awesome bunch of ladies. I have learned a lot about scrapping from this group. I used to just use stickers or diecuts to create a title, now I design my title to match the pictures. Before joining this group I had never heard of journal boxes, deco squares, paper piecing, side mounts, bazzill paper and many other things. Now I am branching out to learn how to do many other things. The pictures I posted are from an ABC swap. Can't wait to get them back (and of course head to Disney so that I can add new pictures to this album). I also posted two titles that I am submitting for a couple of swaps. If you are big into Disney and Swapping and would like info, let me know and I will send you the link to join.
