M.I.A. Apology!!

WOW! First off, I am completely sorrrrrry that i haven't kept in touch with you all. it's completely all my fault...and my madre's for being stuck in a time capsule that predates sliced bread. a family emergency came up in cali so i had to fly out to another area instead of taking my vacay like i was supposed to. i was in a rush and forgot my carry on that had my moly in it...along with my electronic lifelines! long story short, i'll be home wednesday nite and ill mail it out on thursday morn. agh! sooo sorry a million times over!

on another note, i can't wait to see whats in my mailbox when i get home! promise to be fast, lol. 

The Book of Firsts

Well, Kelley's book arrived today. Not only is it Kelley's first trip to Australia but its also Leanne's first moly exchange book eva! When I opened my post box I squealed with delight. Kelleys book is even better in person than the photos, and must say... your business cards are too cute.

Hello Ladies!

Just wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing with their molies. I currently have Jen's book and have mailed mine off to Australia for Leanne...how's everyone else doing? Remember, you should have mailed your books on earlier this week for the first mailing :)

I was looking through some of the other moly exchanges and noticed that a couple of groups have set it up so that they all mail on the same day. For instance, everyone is supposed to mail on the 5th of each new month...that way they are keeping to the month guideline and the books are constantly moving along with no one bombarded with more than one at a time. What do you all think of doing that here? Should we designate a certain day of the month so everyone can mail them off at the same time? Let's hear your thoughts.

Kelley wishes she were traveling to Australia...

...unfortunately money is too tight right now so her molie will have to go without her :(

Leanne this will be going out in the mail tomorrow...we'll see how long it takes to get to you in Australia from me in California.

How's everyone else doing? Are molies moving?? I've got Jen's book here and have been working like a crazy woman. Jen...out of curiosity....what kind of gesso did you use on this thing??? I know I'm messy, but my pencil marks are sticking to this stuff like you would not believe. I had a bit of an oops with some paint to the right of the picture below...so that's made me a bit of a grump...but I've painted over it and hopefully it's none the worse for wear. Oy vey, I'm such a klutz sometimes. *sighs**


(Also, in my best OZ voice PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE MESS ON MY DESK!)

Jen's Moly

I came home yesterday to find Jen's book in my mailbox. And can I just tell you...it is BEAUTY-FULL!! The cover is adorable...the sign in pages are so creative...her ideas for her book are just amazing I can't wait to get this one in round two so I can see what you've all added to it after me, LOL.

Okay...that's all. Just wanted to let you all know I'd received a book. I have a couple details yet to finish with mine and it will be on it's way out the door, just a few weeks early of the February deadline, woot woot!

Okay girls, best luck drawing.

Jen this is by far the coolest moly I've had pass my hands while doing these exchanges...love the collage-y feel and all your added little bits. So great!!

this wild thing is almost done...

I'm still doing touch ups on this guy...once I got started I just couldn't help myself, I totally immersed myself in creating a new scene for Max :) Here's what I have so far...still working out the little details but you'll get a good idea of what i've been up to. Sorry for the crappy picture by the way, I didn't realize it was so blurry till I got in on the computer :( Anyway, as you can see below I have the text blocked out and then the night sky painted over it...that part is obviously not done....plus there's still a little bit of coloring left to do...but like I said, a work in progress :)

Oh geez, and I almost forgot...my sign in pages. I did a little wardrobe, the secret hiding place of Max's wolf suit. Anyway, my thought is to put a few pre-made picture frames up on the wall of his bedroom and let you all sign in there :) Okay, I've typed long enough back to the drawing board.

Mailing Order

Hello Ladies...I just wanted to make sure you were all clear on how the mailing order works :)

I know we have a couple of newbies in this group and just wanted to make things as easy-peasy for everyone as possible. I added a new topic to the upper right of our blog that lists the order of who you mail to. Remember no matter who's book you have through out the exchange you will always mail to the same person and receive from the person. Makes it nice, you don't have to worry about messing up some complicated order or mailing to the wrong person (both of which I've had happen in other groups, hee hee hee).

Anyway, if you haven't emailed the person you are supposed to mail to, you might want to shoot them an email...you know get their real name and mailing address.

type at you all soon :)
