eclectic post today

Okay, it is going to be an eclectic post kind of day! Remember the pull-out scrapbook I made HERE? Well, I got the photo's that I ordered from the trip and placed them in the album. I'm actually quite thrilled with how it turned out. I'm not sure how the pictures will show up on the actual post but the side with Kyler on the horse is the right side. There is also a picture of my grandpa, his wife Fern, and Marvin and Jean. Then I left one of the squares blank so that I could write them a thank you note. The other picture then is the left side and shows the horse with the wagon. Marvin allowed Kyler to take the reigns and showed him how to lead the horse. He tried with me too but we almost crashed so I gave it up. I'm a dork I know! I just wasn't sure what to do with the pictures because they needed to be the size they are so I hope cutting them in half like that looks okay. I love the little frames with the die cuts that I made though. It really makes each picture look like its own little masterpiece! Marvin and Jean should have received the album by now so I really hope they are enjoying it!

***Susanna picked this little scrapbook as one of her favorites for this week! You can see it HERE!***

The final picture is a picture of the 6x6 scrapbook that I just got from SU! the other day. I decided I needed an album to put all the recipes in that I've been getting from Courtney's recipe swap. I've been able to participate three times and in those three times I've gotten 40 (yes 40!) recipes! I'm signed up for the one I linked you too as well. The recipes look great and overall...the scrapbooking is good! If you want to join her swap Courtney is accepting sign ups until July 5th!

I'm still taking sign ups for my Summer Sister Swap so if you'd like to participate check out the details HERE, make sure I have your e-mail and sign up!

We are supposed to get some t-storms today but they've said that for several days now. But, if we do...I'm so stamping! I have signed up for lots of things that I need to get started on! Oh, and the wind is already howling...fun...not!

Have a great Thursday!

image swap is closed...

Please scroll down if you are here to read my daily update OR better yet sign up to be part of my image swap and then read the newest update!

Sounds like there are several people interested in an image swap so I'm going to go ahead and put this out there for sign ups. Here are the guidelines...

1. Vendor: Any Would you please let me know what you plan on sending. Everyone will be so excited to know what they are going to be receiving. Please be sure to use images that you'd like to get back...no little 1x1 images or that type. Good examples are Bella, Magnolia, Sara's Great Impressions stamp is soooo cute. You get the idea I'm sure. Please just use excellent judgement. And as always...please be sure to ask if you are at all not sure if what you want to use is appropriate. Thanks.

2. Card Stock: Quality White Card Stock (SU!, PTI, etc.) Not sure if your paper is acceptable? Please leave a comment here or e-mail me.

3. Waterproof Black: Staz-on, Adirondack, Pallette. If you are sensitive to the needs of COPIC marker users and have something other than Staz-on please use it. SU!'s classic black in is not acceptable for this swap as it smears with water, COPIC, and other coloring mediums.

4. Sign up by May 10th.

We will do it in groups of 10 people. You will send me 22 clearly stamped images with at least 1/4" border around the image by May27th. You will receive 20 back to be mailed by May 30th. Please make sure that you put the images in a Ziploc type baggie. Please be certain to provide me with postage and an envelope to return your images to you and make sure your envelope is at least 5x7 as you may be getting images back that are larger than you think. I will list the people that have already responded positively to my past inquiry. Please comment on this post if you'd like to join us! Oh, and please make sure I have your e-mail address so I can get a hold of you if necessary. Please e-mail me when you are done with your swaps so I can give you my address. Thanks!
