Photo Swap LOs

I left you plenty of room for journaling...

Julie, I'm working on yours!! I hope to get them done this weekend and sent off next week.

Yay! I'm working on Pam C's this weekend too. Hopefully it comes out decent. I went to see the doctor yesterday since my back isn't getting better as quickly as I'd like, and now I'm on some mix of drugs that advises not operating heavy machinery. One of them is valium. I swear there is no noticable effect, but I'll be sure to review the layout without being under any influence before I put it in the mail. LOL!

Pam...I love what you did! That is a gorgeous LO!

[jfugina]

Pam C's is done!!!! Yay! I really had a good time putting it together, so I really hope Pam likes it too. I took a pic, so I'll post it with Pam's permission. But if Pam wants it to be a surprise, then y'all will just have to wait.

Thank you Jenni!

Yes Julie! Post it!

[jfugina]

Here is the layout I did for Pam C. I left a spot for Pam to do some journaling.

It's beautiful Julie!! Thank you so very much! I love the colors and how playful it feels. I really appreciate how you worked on the layout during a very busy time when you aren't feeling well.
I love it!

All of you have done a great job on these layouts

[jfugina]

I'm so glad you like it Pam! Next challenge - getting it to the post office! This part might take about as long as the layout did.

I just sat down to write a rant about how inconvenient the post office is. I have your (Julie's) stamp/die set and a text book to mail and forgot to go yesterday morning. Now I have to wait until Tuesday and hope that I can get there before the post office closes at 5.

Trust me, Julie, when I say I understand about post office issues.

Hey Julie.... you want spoilers or to be surprised when they arrive?

[jfugina]

Spoilers please!

Pam - my post office issues aren't entirely the fault of the post office. The first issue is remembering to take the item out of the house. That's usually the biggest delay. Then it's a matter of getting out of the house early enough in the morning to go to the PO before work (which is almost never), or remembering to go there after work before hitting the highway (impossible M-W because I've got limited travel time to get to music lessons/girl scouts/after-school care as it is). Of course, Saturday morning is a possibility, but the Cottleville post office (near home) is a small town post office with a very slim chance of having the right shipping material. The post office near work really is better suited for that.

So it's entirely my fault rather than the PO's. It's also why Rachelle will be getting her birthday card a month late. I didn't realize that I used the last of my stamps in July, and again, getting to the PO is a colossal challenge for me for some reason.

Okay-dokey... spoilers it is! I didn't do any journaling on these, but I left space for you to do so. I kinda went a little crazy, but on the plus side I was actually scrapping. Oh, and I left your sticky notes on just in case.

Wonderful!
Good job Monica!
