I'm sorry I didn't get right back here. I was drug from my bedrest into hosting four guests for a couple of days. They've just left and I need a nap LOL Pesky the garden art is FABBBBBB I may just have to ask...oh heck I will, please tell us how you did it? Glue? What? I need need need to scatter those in the yard next year. They're perfect for this big old box....it needs humor! We're going to do another tea party for younger gals that's entirely silly with hats etc as a fund raiser as well. This one we'll keep old fashioned elegant. Pesky if you want to ditch anything in your stash I am sure I will put it to good use! I'll pay shipping of course and anything else ya want if it makes sense :) Thats so sweet of you. I'm lucky I have several months to plan. I will start hitting all of the thrifts in the area for tea cups (Mom we're talking pre 70's LOL) and other tea goodies. Our local habitat for humanity always has a lot of that stuff donated. I scanned ebay but their prices seemed a bit silly. You know, the one thing I need is one of those silly stacked plate things for goodies...but I can't remember the freaking name!!! Help?????? LOL My brain is a bit high on hormones and the basic words just aren't flowing.... KD If I won the many millions referenced in another thread I'd purchase two of those sofa's and have them set up in the parlor when DH came home one day....just to see him literally explode with horror heh heh LOL I'm giggling right now thinking of it....I need a lottery ticket

A timed challenge to find as many photos in their group based on a certain theme. For example, 2 minutes to find as many photos of people at the beach. Or 2 mintues to find as many photos cropped as ovals. A challenge to find something based on a holiday that isn't a recent one. For example, the holiday is Halloween. So which ever team finds a Halloween sticker, die cut, back ground paper, etc. wins. I am thinking these ideas are kind of like lets make a deal. Maybe which ever team has a certain type of adhesive with them? Type of sticker(s)? Color of background paper? Anyone with dried flowers? certain die cuts or pictures in geometric shapes (like the puzzles they play on Survivor)? About prizes...maybe food...picnic papers, stickers and die cuts? Fishing themed items? Bug themed items? Camping themed? Wild or jungle animal themed? I'm not a scrapbooker, but I hope these ideas are helpful to you.

Hello, My name is Jenny, I am a junior at the University of Iowa and i have been scrapping for about 6 months. I started because i wanted to do an album for my brother as his gift from me for his high school graduation. That is my current project, but i plan to do many more when this one is finished. I had no idea it would become this addictive (instead of clothes, i spend my mall gift certificates on stickers and scrapping supplies). Don't worry though, i still buy my fair share of new clothes too. =) I love this message board and try to visit atleast once a day, everyone seems so helpful and encouraging. Have a Great Day! -Jenny Can you do a swap soon- I read many of the posts from the previous swap and it sounds like fun! I would love to participate.

I received Shannon's package today in the mail. The side flap had torn loose and been taped shut, but most of it arrived safe and sound. The seeds were intact, as was a book of American documents and speeches, and an American flag patch I can sew onto my denim jacket. The Betsy Ross flag pole had snapped in half, but I think I'll use the flag in a quilt I've designed and partly sewn, so that's cool. The card was nice, and a necklace was missing, but maybe it'll be found by someone and put a smile on their face. Thank you Shannon!
