I had my birthday celebration last night and not one single photo was taken. But I still think I'm game to try this next month.

[boobearsmama1]

Happy birthday! Thanks for signing up. I am sure you can find some birthday pictures around somewhere to scrap. :) They don't have to be current.

[sammdc]

yes count me I love it and happy bday to sandersmr

[DSanchez]

How does the swap go? I mean what does it entale?

[boobearsmama1]

all you do is sign up and once you get your partner, you each pm each other to get emails. you then send the photos and journaling to that person and they scrap a layout for you. you do the same for that person. its a fun way to scrap and make friends. :)

[debra8898]

You can add me to the list.. I'd love to do a swap! Thanks!

[JoJo1]

I'll do it! Sounds fun! I've got an old birthday photo from my mom's childhood that would be fun for someone to scrap!

[DSanchez]

[Carma]

Hi I just got the message that onyxelle and I are matched up for the swap. This is going to be fun. I was just on her gallery looking at her pictures and LOs and what a fun person she seems to be. I have got company until Friday so I will be contacting you onyxelle about the swap and get some pictures to you.

[DSanchez]

For the April Swap I was paired up with Biffylady.

She sent me the most adorable pics of her daughter's birthday party. The looked so adorable all dressed up for their fashion show.

Here are the layouts I did. I already sent them to Biffylady for her approval first.

[Carma]

I think you did a great job...very nice indeed...Your layouts are really unique and different from each other. Nice of you to do that many layouts. Cute little girl and You did a terrific job on them.

[Carma]

For the April Swap I was paired up with Onyxelle and she sent me two darling pictures of her daughter Noelle at her Birthday Celebration. I designed the layout as a 12 X 12. It was a lot of fun and hope she will enjoy it. You can view it here.

[Carma]

Hi Oxyelle, I sent the pictures to you the same day I did your LO that I did for you...don't have any idea what happened, I will resend them. Thanks

[Nzingha]

Finally finished my LO for Debra here (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=92591&cat=501)

Hope she likes it

[onyxelle]

I had Keeplearning - Debb - to swap with. Do you know how intimidating it is to swap with a DET member that makes beautiful layouts as a matter of course. I had to be really on my game for this one. Fortunately, Debb is such a sweet person that she would have something nice to say even if it's total trash. But with those wonderful photos of her son Austin, it was easy to make a good layout.

[boobearsmama1]

Maggie, I really thought you would enjoy working with her, so I thought you two would make a great team! You are very talented. I think you can hold your own. :) Debb is awesome and I am sure she will love it!

maggie, i know how you feel. I swapped with Sandra (as well as carma) this time, and her layouts are wow-ee and amazing too (you know, kinda like ALL the DET lol) but it was fun..even if I had a few thoughts about wanting to do justice to her her photos.

[Sandersmr]

Boo - I really was excited to be paired with Debb because I know I will get an awesome layout. And she really is such a sweet person.

Now if I had been paired with Sharia, I really would have been skeered - she might have sent me snake pictures!!!

[onyxelle]

oh pooh maggie lol live a little! lol

[Sandersmr]

That's the problem Sharia - I would probably have a heart attack and die!!! LOL!

[debra8898]

Well, aside from the stressfulness of trying to live up to the great work done by my "swapee"... I really had a good time doing this for Ann!

[paperthreads]

Ok, this sounds like a neat idea, i'm going to have to sign up for it for May!

[smileycreations]

I was hoping I hadn't missed the call for May's swap. I really enjoy doing these.

Hugs,
