Who doesn't love a picture frame?! Well I know we all have plenty of pictures to fill them, so why not have a picture frame swap?

THE DEADLINE TO SIGN UP IS JUNE 8TH!!!!

Please PM me your information. You can either send one you have that you don't use, or you can go buy one. Please make sure you wrap the picture frame a little before shipping it. I am not putting a limit on the price as some might want to send a smaller one to save on shipping, but that is up to you.

If you need to buy one and you want to go cheap, always try Ross, Marshalls, or something like that. They always have cute ones!

If anyone thinks we should add any specifics to this let me know, it is up to everyone. I figured for those not doing the White Elephant swap, this one you would know what to send, and if you are doing it, this will give you even more goodies to get in the mail!!!:D

So as of right now we have 7 of us on the list. We need to recruit a few more, so we have a nice variety of drawlings and also so we have an even number. If we don't it will be fine, but the more the better!

ALawicki
05-23-2008, 11:55 AM
So Carol and I were talking, and we decided that when you get your frame, if you can, you have to take a picture of it and post it so we all can see the drawling you got! It would bring smiles to our days!:D

The deadline is coming closer, and I just wanted to make sure everyone didn't have anything they wanted to add. Remember there is no spending limit, and you can use on that you already have if you want. Don't forget to color your pretty picture for your person either. Once you receive your picture frame, if you can, take a picture and post it on here so we can all see! Also don't forget to wrap the frame, we don't want pieces when we open our package! Besides that everything else is up to you!

I will be out for doctor appointments and surgery starting tomorrow sometime, so if you need anything just email me, and I will get back as soon as I can. I don't really know how much I will be on, but if I am not asleep I will probably be on since I am on strict bed rest.

I will send out the names of whom you have on the 9th. Do we want to know who has our names that day or wait and see when we get our frame with our lovely pictures? Please try to have your frames out no later than a week after, but if there is something going on and you are late, please let me know so I can tell your person it will be a little late.

Has to be something you made I think. You can even use crayons if you want to! Or maybe you could do a collage, you think? Or put a mirror and a lipstick kiss under the glass or something. LOL Just something that's a tiny bit more of a personal gift. We could just go buy our own picture frames, you know? :)

Ya it has to be something you made. You don't have to draw it, I like the idea of a collage. Just make is something more than just a picture in a frame. We are showing our extra love for each other! Like Lynne said, we can always just buy a picture frame. So if you can't draw you can do stick people like some of us, or you can do a collage. Just clip out different words and stuff and tape or glue them on a piece of paper that fits in the frame. Make it words or a picture that reminds you of the person you get or of the love you have for all of us on here! No matter how good or bad, everyone will love it! I can't wait to see what everyone does! Just a few more days til we get our people! Here is who I have as of now:
Cpogie-Carol
Mrs. Danger- Kara
Mrscar- Janie
Mkrebecca- Becky
ilove2sample- Michelle
mood4amelody- Lynne
alawicki- Ashley

If we don't have anyone else join, then I can send out who you have the night of the 6th.

IF YOU WANT TO JOIN LET ME KNOW!!:D

When I match them up, I just write everyone down on a list and each name again on a scrap of paper, then a draw a scrap and that is the sender for the first person on the list, 2nd scrap, etc. so there's no worry about uneven. :)

No you get to pick the frame completely on your own. You just have to make sure that whatever is in the frame is completely original and made by you! It can be a drawling or a collage if you want. I am so excited about all the swaps! We're all gonna feel like kids on Christmas soon!

No you cut out different words from magazines and either glue or tape them on the paper. They are all words that describe a certain thing. Alot of girls do them and get words and pictures that remind them of themselves and put them in their room. Magen did them all the time. We had to do alot in high school too.

She did tell me that in a note with the picture, what you cannot see in the picture is the names on the band at the bottom, it says from left to right, Lynne, Carol, Dawn, Chris, and Mae.........
On the boat it says, SS Sisters.

I will treasure this picture, and it will be on the wall here in my computer room!

I just don't have the words to say how happy I am about Carol liking the picture!! If you look "Carol" up in the dictionary, it says: (noun) 1. Woman most awesome 2. Wonderful lady 3. Incredibly precious spirit 4. Exceedingly special; rare; priceless friend.

I just wanted to try to get something that had even a little bit of that kind of special and give it back to her. :o

If you look "Carol" up in the dictionary, it says: (noun) 1. Woman most awesome 2. Wonderful lady 3. Incredibly precious spirit 4. Exceedingly special; rare; priceless friend.

It should have a pic of OUR Carol next to that!!!

Here are my cute pictures and frames from DaRyl and her daughter! :D -

The Glue

True love is much more than emotion or the beautiful things we say.
It's togethernes, sharing the good with the bad as we struggle through life every day.

Surely it's more than the starlight or a quickening pace of the heart.
It's accepting each other, just as we are, and a feeling of loss when apart.

True love is patient with odd traits, encouraging the best to grow.
Planting and weeding, in time there is a rose. For we truly reap what we sow.

True love is a deepening friendship, accepting the past with the new.
It's far more easy to believe we're in love than to honestly say "I like you".

Herein lies love's deepest secret protected from a worldly point of view.
If we can't "like" each other, we can't be in love.

The "liking" in love is the glue.



Thanks again, DaRyl! Those were just awesome! :D Tell your little girl thank you, too, for me!!

That is so cute!!! I can't wait for mine to get here so I can see it! When I got my other stuff (flip flops, socks, and white elephant, plus my coffee maker) all in the same day the ladies at the front office thought it was my birthday. I was like no I just have some amazing friends!

Don't worry, Janie, it just prolongs the fun for all of us!

I just don't have the words to say how happy I am about Carol liking the picture!! If you look "Carol" up in the dictionary, it says: (noun) 1. Woman most awesome 2. Wonderful lady 3. Incredibly precious spirit 4. Exceedingly special; rare; priceless friend.

I just wanted to try to get something that had even a little bit of that kind of special and give it back to her. :o

I didn't get a chance to scan my pictures today, so if no one sees them on here tomorrow yell at me, please?

Yep... you're so right!!! :p
Quit blushing Carol!!!

You girls are too too much, love ya all!!

It's true, we do all the fun stuff! Haha! That would be a very good idea I think because whom ever you get will get something that is very special! I just sat down and started doodling! I can't draw well, but it was still funny, I know it will bring a smile to everyones face when they see the picture get posted. One of my pictures was side ways though! haha, I didn't notice until I put them in the frame!!:eek:

Ya I asked for them to do that, and have not gotten any PM's. If you have not received your frame by Saturday evening PLEASE PM me and I will send out PM's to those that had your name. If you have not send out your frame, PLEASE PM me so I can atleast know you have not forgotten.

Your person has posted on the thread that they had yours ready, so hopefully it is already in the mail. My person has not posted that they even put it in the mail:( We are the only two that have not received anything, as I just checked back on the thread and everyone else has posted that they received their frames, but not all have posted the pictures they got.

Please get it out asap. Everyone has received their frames and there are two of us that have not. It has been almost a month since names went out. I understand that things come up, but please let me know when that happens so I can let your person know.

I also have not received mine, and I will be pm'ing the person tomorrow. I am not trying to be rude, but there has been more than enough time for the frames to get out and to the person. The other person and I that are waiting on our frames, if we have not received them in the next week or so, then I will be letting everyone that has swaps know whom you are so that they can decide if they want to let you participate. It is not fair for some of us to spend time and money on the swaps to not get ours in return. If you have any problems then you can pm me, but I will be keeping in contact with the 2 people that have the names of us who have not received our frames, along with the other person who has not gotten their frame.

Here is the Picture Lynne sent me, I just love it.

2105

She did tell me that in a note with the picture, what you cannot see in the picture is the names on the band at the bottom, it says from left to right, Lynne, Carol, Dawn, Chris, and Mae.........
On the boat it says, SS Sisters.

I will treasure this picture, and it will be on the wall here in my computer room!

I didn't participate in this swap... too many things going on here!!

WOW Lynne!!! GORGEOUS drawing!!! I feel so honored to be named on the drawing!

Carol, I can't think of anyone who deserves it more than you!!!!

Now I wished I'd joined in.... waaaahhhhhh!!! LOL!

Big Hugs!!
