CJ Chat - 1

OMG, OMG, OMG!

My CJ has returned home and it's HUGE!!!!!! I've only had a quick glance through it so far and it is crammed full of information and photographs - just the way I wanted it to be. I never thought it would end up quite so thick though!
Honestly - it looks sooooo exciting.

A huge 'Thank You' to all of you lovely 11 ladies.

Right - I'm off to have a read now!


Oooooooh!!!!!

Told you yours was huge, Bobs.

So glad they've started to arrive. My fingers are itching to get to the postie.

Oooohh how exciting. Patty's and Bob's has arrived. No sing of mine yet,
but postie hasn't been.
I think yours is the biggest of the lot Bobs - isn't it fabulous.
Can't wait to see the different pages.

ok I am so behind I could cry...

I still need to do Sandys "Around the World" which with the move and everything I've not started & not even picked up Cynthias from Cath yet.

I wont be able to do either this week as I'm in bl**dy Sheffield & on Saturday will be going to Wales.

All i can do is get them done ASAP once I get back from holiday.

More stuff has been going just havent had the internet to let you all know, will start another thread.

Mine hasn't come.

patience girl.... it will arrive tomorrow mum says.

oops, forgot I was still logged in as Patty, this is maria

Mine is absoutely gorgeous. Only had time to have a quick glance through but will look through carefully later.

Thanks everyone, I love it.

Also, have a confession to make. I have not been the best at taking photos of the pages I have done for other people, usually because I tend to finish them the Sunday evening before they had to be sent off. So for me, photographing my own album would be easier.

Note to self *Must do better next time*

Can't wait for the next one.......

Thank you everyone for mine, I had a quick 'once through' before cooking tea and now I'm ready for a cuppa and good go. The family were looking over my shoulder very interested and impressed.

I was thinking I had scans of all mine, but that was on the old sick pc, not sure how much I managed to save on cd, will check, I have the last 2 anyway; Helen's and Patty's.

I love it

Lorraine you just know that it will be worth the wait, I'm thinking there's a lot of blood sweat and tears gone into yours.

Mine neither

I've been looking and looking again at mine. It's just wonderful, girls!
Although, I have to say that some of you have been very norty and haven't included a photo of yourself on your pages. That's the one thing I actually stipulated! Never mind, I'll let you off ...... this time!

Mine's arived too and Malcolm didn't tell me until after tea so I could sit and open it. So much to read about everyone so I'll spend more time again but thankyou to you all.

Awww, Lorraine. {{{{{hugs}}}}}
It will be all the more sweet when it does arrive.

Noooo, what's appened to that then?

Mine turned up with the parcel man this afternoon.

I am so thrilled girls. It is so brilliant. I have been going through
it on and off since it arrived. You did a fabulous job - thanks
very much.

OMG!!!!! I've never seen anything so gorgeous, girls. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

I know this wasn't an easy subject and I know you all had to do some research, but you have excelled yourselves. Blood, sweat and tears as Karelyn said, lol. Joy of joy, no repeats and some surprises too. I absolutely love it.

I've not had time to devour it properly yet, as Mia is here, but this evening I shall have a proper look.

I think I'll scan it all and put the pics up but if any of you have better pics I can use yours if you'd prefer.

Thank you again, so much.



I hope you all manage to get all your pics up, but I think there'll be one or two we don't see although I hope not.

So good yours has arrived Lorraine. It's always a worry when they don't
arrive as quick as we think they should.
Yours was fabulous from what I saw, but there wasn't that much done of
it.

Phew, can't wait to see yours in particular, I've forgotten about lots of them so it'll be great when all the pics are up.

Really looking forward to seeing piccies of them all.

Welcome any time Goaty - you know that.
I too would love to see the finished books. Are we going to start putting the photos on ?
Do I put my own CJ on or does everyone do their individual pages they did for the CJs.

The gallery is already there for the pics, Steph.
That's the question I asked further up but I don't think everybody scanned or took a pic of every page they did. I did, but Helen I know has said she will do the complete album. So, each to their own I reckon, but one way of another, we'll get all the pics of all the pages....I hope.

I think I took pics of all the pages I made although I don't what I've done with
one lot - perhaps I did forget some pages. I'm quite happy to take photos of
my amazing CJ, so I really don't mind which way we do it. Can't remember how
you did it last time.

Last time, once the owner had put up her cover and pages we all, if we had them, added our own to their threads. Any that weren't up was put up by CJ owner.

I'm going to put up my whole album, but as I said before, if anybody wants to use their own photo's instead of mine, they can. No prob'.
