Didn't realise you had Lorraine's last Maria. You'll be fine. I really enjoyed
doing it and was pleased with what I did. I chose to do a lesser known
artist that we had learnt about at school and found it bought back a few
memories.

Well I must say I will be ok if there is anybody left who has not been covered.... Patty said the book was of an extremely high standard so Im quaking in my boots before I start!!! especially as its Lorraines... Oh well, I have done my best in all of them. I enjoyed yours and Cynthias the best Steph.

Ha, you'll change your mind when you get stuck into mine.
Stop worrying, you've not done a bad job on one of them, so I doubt mine will be any different.

I can't wait to see it, I really can't. I'm wondering who you've done, Steph but I'm real glad to hear that there's lesser known artists in there too. The only ones I know for sure will be in there is Michelangelo, Da Vinci and Botticelli.

Hahahaha reminds me of the old young ones sketch with gelli botti.

Thanks for those words Maria, grinny grin grin.

Finished my effort in Patty's tonight, s'alright. The book is lovely.
I think more animals are on their way to me next, thinking cap again, although got BIL's wedding album to put to bed first.

I had the chance to get out of the house this afternoon, so have posted the CJ on to Steph as I may well not be able to get out on Monday. Could this be moved to the right thread when it is up please?

I've just received Maria's 'Nursery Rhymes' CJ. It's looking fabulous!!

Patty - your posting is in the new thread now, hun.

aww Im so excited... thanks for posting that Bobs - I cant wait to see it. This has been my first CJ and I have so enjoyed it - its like getting a present each monht.

I know! Can hardly believe that the CJ's are all going home on the next posting!
Can't wait to see mine!

So true - it was huge when I got it and that was ages ago.

Can't wait for my CJ to come home. Like Maria, this was my first CJ and I have
thoroughly enjoyed it. Are we having another one ? Hope so - I'm hooked.

Yes, this is my first one too and I can't believe I was so reluctant to join as I have so so so enjoyed it all. Will defo be in the doing another one!

Did hear on the radio that they are reinforcing the streets of Memsie, ready for the pantechnicon delivering your CJ Bobs!!!!

and I heard they are drafting in a couple of shnook (sp) helicopters to deliver it...

LOL @ Patty and Maria.
Anyone would think it was large

Oh dear - I really had no idea it would end up as large as you're all describing it!

It was bl**dy huge when I got it and that was 9 months ago.

Mind you, I'm pretty sure that there's another that's pretty big too, but can't remember whose it is.

You know, as much as I've enjoyed this, I really can't wait for it to end. I'm sooooooooooooooo not in the mood for doing any crafting at the mo. I just want to get into my garden.

I tried to drag myself into my craft room today as the weather was so awful, but I just ended up sowing some herb seeds and wandering round the house like a lost soul.

Maria, I think you may mean Chinook helecopters, hun.

Oh, that doesn't sound as if you will be keen to get another one off the ground
I am just the opposite at the moment. I haven't been able to craft for 5-6 weeks
and desperately want to get going.

Patty's is pretty big, I just got it into the box and all packed up when I realised that there was a piece of the packing foam still left of the table. I'm sure it's pretty secure in there though, so i didn't undo it all again.

I have said to myself several times, I'm not doing another CJ, as it's one of the things that get in the way of my own scrapping, so how come I already have the title of my next one in mind LOL. I'll just have to stop my family getting married and wanting albums of their do's. I'm even thinking of starting to buy a few birthday cards for the unappreciative (not crafters).

Glad to say I have now put the finishing touches to KTs CJ.
Have just taken photos and will post in the morning.

Ha, ha. Don't worry, Steph. I'm never 'out of it' for long.

Karelyn, I've made a start on this one and am hoping to finish it tonight. If I don't, I'm afraid it's gonna be a day or two late, hun. Tomorrow we're out most of the day, then visitors, then I'm babysitting, so may not get it finished until Tuesday. Promise I'll get it to you asap though.

Don't rush it Lorraine, I won't have time to do anything on it until after Easter.

I've got Lorraine's finished! Oh boy - such a tough subject. I hope I've done it justice (not really convinced that I have though).

It's been photographed and packaged up - and I'll get it in the post tomorrow.

Bob's, everything you do does it justice, hun. Am I gonna love it? Am I? Am I? eh? eh?......

Karelyn, I thought I'd finish tonight and nearly did. But...I've got myself stuck with a fastener so I've put it away. Anyway, I'm so glad you're in no rush. Thanks.

Bobs, I must apologise for not sticking to your date though.

well Bobs... I cant say I am longing to do it myeslf!!!

Maria! All I can say is, that Google is a godsend!

Oh and yes, Lorraine - you're going to LOVE it - it's gorgeous!

Thanks Bobs!!!

Have not started Sandys CJ yet and probably wont get a chance to as we're moving in the next week.

Will arrange with Cynthia closer to the time when to drop it off.

Also if Cath reads this, we'll arrange something in the next couple of weeks for us to meet up and do CJ's as your not well at the moment xxx

Pm'd Kate as Children's Stories (Cynthia's) is finished, ready and waiting for her.
