~*~ January Craft Circle ~*~

[saganaga]

I'd love to set up a craft circle for January.
I'll be participant #1...if you're interested in making a craft, post here.
Deadline for sign-up is Monday January 7. Posting of who you send a craft to will be Tuesday January 8.

Have fun being creative!

:)

[leafylady]

Sure, I'll do it again. I make leafy iron stuff.
I enjoyed the December craft swap.

[madison]

Sure, I'm game and have some more time on my hands now that the holidays are over! Count me in.


I'm making:

soaps, salt baths & milk baths

mosaics - mirrors, votive candle holders

beeswax pillar candles


Take your pick or allow me to choose!

[stClaire]

I'm in,

I'm doing assorted doll type crafts and other *surprises*

Thanks for organizing another one (so fun :) )

[Bekka]

I want to join this time! I was too busy in Dec.

I make (non-Waldorf) cloth dolls in various sizes. I could make a boy or girl doll, hair, eyes, etc. to request. I also make lots of other things, but this is my "thing" right now.

[LaLa]

i'm in! I have already traded with StClaire, so you may want to match us up with other people :)

I feel inspired! ;)

Do you want our e-mail?

[LukesMum]

I'm not very "crafty" but I'm trying!!! I can make some yummy bath salts and would like to participate
...i'll come up with something else as well!!

[onehipmomma]

So let's do this for January:

Missgrl sends to onehipmomma
onehipmomma sends to LukesMum
LukesMum sends to LaLa
LaLa sends to Roses
Roses sends to leafylady
leafylady sends to Madison
Madison sends to stClaire
stClaire sends to Bekka
Bekka sends to saganaga
saganaga sends to Missgrl

Voila!
Have fun crafting!

[Missgrl]

Saganaga----ok.....can't wait!

[leafylady]

Madison,
My 2 year old has been sick since Friday night, but he seems to be doing a lot better today. I should be able to mail out your mystery item on Wednesday. I've just got to put on the finishing touches and pack it up tonight.
-leafylady
Missgrl- Thanks for replying on the Miracle Scrub!

[Missgrl]

Anyone heard from Onehipmomma?????

I've PM her twice and she doesn't allow e-mail!

AHHH~I'm ready to mail out and I haven't even spoken to her!

[onehipmomma]

Mssgrl:

Here I am! I didn't receive your messages. I don't know why it won't allow you to e-mail from here me as I have rec'd e-mail from other members. Sorry about that!

my e-mail is onehipmomma@hotmail.com

I look forward to hearing from you!

Christina

[madison]

Yoo hoo, StClaire! PM or email me, mama - madisonlinfield@hotmail.com :)

[Missgrl]

Very odd indeed!!!!!
Maybe we have bad chemistry.....I hope you like my craft though...LOL

I'll e-mail you!

[Bekka]

got your email--working on it--it will take me another week to finish, maybe a bit more. Just b/c we suddenly got busy . . .

[LaLa]

roses, you should be getting your craft in today or tomorrow's mail!
:)

[saganaga]

glad you got my email...I know exactly what you mean about things getting busy. I haven't started making my craft yet...

[abismommie]

It's too late for January but I'd love to participate for February. How does it work?

Hugs,

J

[leafylady]

I shipped out to Madison last Thursday by priority mail. Let me know when you get it by using the PM or here on this message. My current email is down and I'm switching, so I won't be accessing email until this weekend.

[saganaga]

Those who are interested in making a craft sign up, a list is made & you send your craft to the next one on the list.
This is my 3rd time participating & I love it!

[abismommie]

Well that's sounds like so much fun! I'll definetely sign up for the next one.

Hugs,

J

[parisfrance]

I would like to get in on the next one too, if you don't mind shipping to France! I do machine embroidery.

[stClaire]

Madison,

Did you get my message?? I can't remember whether i PMd or emailed it.

[LaLa]

Luksmum sent me the best homemade crunchy granola in an adorable jar with rustic closures and several amazing vegan recipes beautifully written and enclosed in individual recipe holders!

That is an awesome swap for me! I am always trying to think of something new to make around here, and I LOVE granola!

I can't wait to try the muffins, casserole, and gronla!
WooHoo!

THANKS!
:D

[abismommie]

Wow - homemade granola!!!!! Yummy! I can't wait to do the next one!!!!!

Hugs,

J

[Missgrl]

Onehipmama.......

I tried to mail yours out today but had some difficulty shipping out of the states.
The main problem is not having your last name. when you e-mailed me you only gave your first name and the U.S. mail wants the last name too.

so if you could............

PM me with it if you want! It's all ready to go!:p

[stClaire]

Madison, You're da bomb ;) I got the soaps and salts today and i am about to head up for an early bath and bedtime. DS is intrigued with the chocolate soap (so am i) i think he plans to sneak into it like he does with other things, won't he be surprised. Thank you.

Bekka, Yours is on the way, i hope you will like it.

This has been so fun :) Kelly

[Bekka]

Sorry about the delay--we are out of town for a few weeks. I am working on your craft, I just need a couple more days, then I can run it to the PO. Hope that's okay!

This is why I can only join a craft swap every _other_ month!

[saganaga]

No need to worry, I'm a very patient person...good things come to those who wait...
And you're not the only one who hasn't finished the January craft!
I still have to finish my project & get it off to Missgrl!

[leafylady]

Thank you Roses!!!:love
The tray, candles and rice pillow are wonderful. The yellow on the tray matches my kitchen and living areas perfectly. I can't wait to try out the rice pilllow as a heating pad for my achy lower back (pregnant).
I hope everything is going well for you.

[saganaga]

You had expressed an interest in participating in a craft circle, just wanted to let you know that the one for Feb is starting...look under **February Craft Circle** It's a lot of fun!

[Missgrl]

Onehipmamma~~~~
FINALLY got your gift off for real yesterday! I am blaming the
delay on my dh. It has been in his car for a week! Let me know
when you receive it!

Saganaga....I am patient too! I am excited though to get my crafft from
you!!!!!!! can't wait!

[onehipmomma]

Missgrl: no worries. I look forward to getting your package. I LOVE to get mail that isn't bills!:LOL I will let you know the minute it arrives!

Lukesmom: I am very sorry to announce that it was only yesterday that I mailed your package. I got really side tracked. I am so sorry, It is on the way!

[saganaga]

your wonderful homemade doll arrived safely in our home today---you gals would not believe how talented Bekka is, I couldn't believe the detail on this doll!
Thanks again!

[Missgrl]

Onehipmama~~ did you ever get my craft?? Just want to make
sure it arrived safe and sound!

Saganaga~~how's my craft coming? No rush.......i'm just excited!

[LukesMum]

LaLa so glad you liked the granola
OneHipMomma--LOVED my bean bags and cards!! You are awesome--thank you so much--I can tell tehy were made with a warm heart and care!!!!!!!!!

[onehipmomma]

Lukesmom: I am really glad to hear that you liked your stuff! I am sorry that it took so long to get to you!

Missgrl: no, I haven't rec'd your package yet. I will let you know as soon as I do. I can't wait to get it!:D

[saganaga]

I finally have your package ready to go, it should get out in the mail on Tues (Mon is President's day & post office is closed). Just wanted to let you know, let me know when it arrives if you remember. Thanks for being soooo patient!

[Bekka]

StClaire,
dh actually got to open your package b/c we were out of town, and he didn't tell me just how adorable this little Waldorf dolly is! Thanks so much!

[Missgrl]

Onehipmama~~
Well now i know what is taking your package so long to get
to you!!!!!!
I got a letter in the mail today saying my package was damaged
and they tried to "repair it and get the contents together!"
So i am really curious to hear what kind of mess you
receive!
I spent alot of time on my packaging too!

I hope you get everything i sent and nothing is lost or broken....some
things were in glass!:mad:

Please let me know when and what you receive!!!

Saganaga....no sweat! Onehipmama has been patient with
me as well!!!!!

[saganaga]

Your package got out in the mail today---you should get it in 5 days.
:)

[onehipmomma]

Missgrl: i will let you know for sure. I hope that the "mess" you mentioned isn't too bad, since you put so much time and effort into everything!! :(

I just found out that a friend of mine didn't receive a gift that I sent to her (she lives in Alabama) It is the first time that I didn't insure a package sent to the States :rolleyes: , figures! It is so frustrating when the postal system doesn't do what it is supposed to. I can totally relate to your frustration!

Thanks for the update!

Christina

[Missgrl]

Saganaga~~~
I got my package today!!!! It was actually weird when I saw the address label and it was MY handwriting!....then I figured out what you did!:p

Thank you so much for my wonderful stuff! You said the scrunchy can go to someone with long hair....THAT'S ME! :) It's been in my hair since I opened the box a few hours ago! And the hooded towel is wonderful! It will look adorable draped over my ds's cute little head! (if he's only let me wash his hair! LOL)

I loved the postcard idea too. I didn't do it on my shipment this time but my next ship out I'm going to do that!

Thanks so much....you're the best!:love

[saganaga]

So glad the package arrived safely. I used the same box you sent me...I'm a reduce, reuse, recycle kinda gal.

[Missgrl]

Onehipmama~~~~
Have you gotten my package YET????

I'm getting really ticked off here! I mailed it off 3 weeks ago.
What can you do when the mail people mess up?

AAHHHHHH

so sorry:crying

[onehipmomma]

Missgrl: I got it this morning :thumb

Baby just woke up, have to run, more to follow!!!

Just in case I don't get back today, THANK YOU!!!!!

I will write more about it later! You rock :love
