You're welcome. My family was super understanding about getting sandwiches for dinner.

You're welcome. My family was super understanding about getting sandwiches for dinner.

at least they got fed


have all the ABC's sorted out and bagged up, just waiting on the last two swappers!



have a couple questions:

how do I set up the slide show for the photos on photobucket???

shipping to UK - do I ship them just airmail? in a regular package? do they need custom's forms? anyway to track them?

TIA

They do need customs forms - make sure you mark as "gift" and don't put a huge value on or we get charged for HM Customs clearance We know they are priceless but for customs purposes $20-$25 is fine

Any packaging you'd use to send internally is fine for airmail, just make sure you seal it tightly with strong tape and that everything is sealed in the ziplock baggies - if you're running tight for space/weight I'm fine with everything bundled into one bag. There is a max weight for airmail but I doubt this swap will exceed it. If their are $ left over please just tuck them into the bags - don't mention it on the forms. Any coins please donate to your favourite charity!

Hostesses who send to UK regularly will be able to give more specific local advice. I know its a bit if you've not done it before

ETA - there is a track option but I think it costs twice as much so we generally don't bother

thanks Mazda...I will make sure to wrap it good and tight! I've sent to Canada before so figured it was about the same!

A surprise was waiting for me when I got home from work! Thanks to all of the ladies who made pieces for me, even after I had to step away. It's been a bumpy couple of months, but I really appreciate the sunshine sent my way. You all are a great group of scrappin sisters and I really appreciate it. I will be sure to pass along the happiness to someone else when needed.
Now......to plan for the books that I didn't even know I was making. Will surely help put my upcoming trip pictures to really good use, and really easily. The pieces are wonderful and I can't wait to scrap-away.
to each of you,
Danielle
