I just know you sit up for hours at night thinking of these challenges. Well, this one is going to be fun. Now all I have to decide is whether I want you to see the compulsive side of me where every thing is spotlessly tidy, or the other side that could not care less, where I must conduct an archealogical exploration every time I need something!!!!

:eek:

Another brilliant idea ..Fiona :) .

[Oceania]

Fiona this is a goodie your mind is amazing to come up with these wicked ideas, I LOVE THEM they make me think! Well I was only going to do one but thought since I had two different sets of messy eating that I may as well scrap them both lol

The first is my little man when he was a baby eating chocolate yoghurt the results are evident of where he enjoyed having this yoghurt placed. He was finger painting with it and boy it was every where :)

Lily I love your page the colour from the layout match well the one from your kitchen, great work. I have to agree with MommaBird on the before and after.Your "after" is so not messy in comparison to my place.LOL. Keep them coming!

[O2BNGdHope]

Ha Ha! Oceania, I have a few pics like those! Only mine is usually spaghetti. They just can't seem to conquer getting those skinny noodles from the plate to their mouths. Lily, where's the dirty dishes piled high by the sink? And the garbage overflowing onto the floor? At least we can see the cleaners on the counter where you started cleaning before getting another idea for a scrapbook page. LOL! Great job, ladies! Love these funny challenges. Brightens up the day and brings a smile to everyone faces.

I posted the magnet and the word shape in the embies section.

My husband found the sign in some little odd shop around here. I love it! I keep waiting for somebody to ask if things ever do walk out of there. My answer is going to be "Yes, but we don't worry about the ones that are only walking..." :D

[LindaPete]

I've never done a Swap & Crop before. I hope you'll bear with me and my questions.

Do the pictures we send need to be of a certain theme, or do we just pick a couple we like? Do we need to send any info with them, like what they are pictures of or any stories to go with them?

And when we scrap them, do we need to scrap them together in the same layout, or can we do a separate layout for each?

Thanks!

[angelwithin]

you can send any theme of pic, just pick a few, last time many people asked for more than one photo so if you want to send a few more than 2 do so, then it will be down to who ever gets you pics to whether they scrap one or all the pics

a story behind the pics always helps those doing the layout

you can scrap them together or separate in different layouts

[omajo]

I defenitely will email you pictures for next week challenge "swap and crop" . Looks like fun .....!!

[angelwithin]
