Dec. KIAE Swap/Challenge--Signup Closed--Swappers in OP

[lovepug2]

My kit went postal today to Kathy.

Lol, Daniel looking forward to seeing what you concocted. Should I be scared?!

LeighAnn, I am always quite nervous about opening anything Daniel sends me 

My kit is packed and ready to go. I didn't make it to post office today, but I will tomorrow

LeighAnn, I am always quite nervous about opening anything Daniel sends me...

Yeah, April! Like you never send me evidence of your 'weird'?!

Relax, Pug! Would I cause you a moment's concern?  'Course not!

Finishing up my kits. Should be ready to mail tomorrow.

[Looser]

My kit is in the mail as of yesterday.

Might work on some pieces from my kept, today.

[CaribbeanGirl]

I have started on a piece from my kept kit. Haven't made too much progress yet though. I keep changing my mind on which way I want it to go. Hoping Daniel receives his kit soon.. That envelope is quite full  It will be interesting to see what he does with it all 

[Looser]

Cool! I'll watch for it, pal!

I finished my kept 'required' & used other kept elements for Heidi's challenge.

Very unlikely I'll use 'all' this month, but you never know. I might just be inspired to do a 'mega sink' masterpiece. Afterall, I am a master crafter...

Daniel, I got your kit yesterday! Was surprised the mail ran on Sunday but even more surprised by the envelope. Some interesting stuff to play with. I immediately got lots of ideas just by looking at it! Should be lots of fun!

[SWLady]

Mine went into the mail on Saturday. Nothing like waiting til the last minute. hehehe

I mailed my kit last week so it should be arriving in Carribbeangirl's mailbox soon if it hasn't already....

LOL, Pug! I strive to keep my kits 'interesting'--aka 'strange'. And this month's contents qualifies, eh?

My kit arrived from CG. Really neat stuff & very heavy with stamped images. Hooray!!!

BTW? April & I have begun to discuss where we want to go with 2015's KIAE. So far... We both agree that we want to host an on-going swap/challenge. It's a start.

Hope to begin working on my received kit's project (a bookmark, of course).

[Looser]

I got a start on working from my r'cvd kit. Thot I'd totally screwed-up one of the stamp image's coloring, but (once it dried) it ain't too awful. Glad I didn't send it to the 'circular file'.

Now I have to decide what form of bookmark it wants to be a part of. Which leads me to a topic...

When making bookmarks, do you ever gear them to a particular type of book--fiction, non-fiction, reference, cook, etc.? Not just the images used, but also the type/shape of the bookmark--single page-holder, multiple page marker, etc.

[Looser]

HEADS UP KIAEs!

This month will be the gentle kindly one you've grown used to for a while. Why? 'Cause April (CG) is gonna be 'lead hoster' in Jan. 2015! And (as we all know), she's much meaner than me.

[SWLady]

Yay! I received my kit from LeighAnn yesterday. Our mail is coming really late in the day. And they are delivering here on Sundays also, but only packages.

LeighAnn's envelope was torn to shreds, but I think everything is still in it. A couple little die cuts snowflakes were sticking out one side but still in there, hehehe.

[CaribbeanGirl]

Yay I received Sadie's envelope. Have not had a chance to play with it yet, but I will!
