Thanks Jen! Actually it is an old one from a few years ago, and I never got around to creating a different one. Just realized that since I'm a newbie here, that I never posted an avatar, so I added it this past week. I think parts of the avatar actually look like me, long blonde (ahem) hair in waves & ringlets, blue eyes. Maybe one of these days I'll be brave and post the real me.

:scaredMarilyn
 
okay, mine is set to be mailed tomorrow. Crazy schedule this past week and I couldn't get to get it printed until today!!!

Can't wait to see all the goodies.
 
:giggle

I totally had mine done before the sign-up deadline (because I mis-read). And then promptly had some blonde moments and forgot about them. So I just uploaded to Staples. :D

Can't wait to see everyone's!!!
 
Holy Cow... doesn't the month just fly... especially when Jen is saying May's is nearly ready to put up... what the.. :dizzy

Can't wait for May... very special month for the sisters!
 
I dropped mine in the mailbox last night. :) Hopefully I won't have anymore mailing incidences for the rest of forever. Lol. Can't wait for the next batch. I have to say that getting mine (finally) in the mail and then putting them in my album sleeves just super inspired me and got me excited all over again!

Did anyone else have trouble getting started with having a theme? (please tell me I'm not the only one) I was so worried about breaking the rules I didn't know where to start. Lol. Usually it's the opposite for me. I like to be told what to do. :giggle

LOL re: "the rest of forever".

Re: the Theme... what do you all think? I certainly don't want it to be more difficult. Should I make it even more general? Honestly, it's just an inspiration thing, not a stressful thing. The Sisters gave me some great theme ideas... I need to revisit those.
 
I'm fine with or without a theme. Although I do have to admit that I had to ponder over this one for a day or so before I came up with something. It wasn't until I figured out what I was going to do, that I signed myself up. As a plus for themes, a theme directs me, rather than dealing with my normal disorganized self of floundering around.

I actually really like the idea of theme... because I'm new to this ATC thing, I think I do need a place to start otherwise I'd just be wandering my house aimlessly trying to be inspired. Lol! I just got stuck on "Dancing in the Rain" but... don't use that! :giggle Really I just want to use that pink flamingo in Sissy Sparrows kit and I couldn't think how to make that guy sing or dance. Oh dear. I'm a lost cause. tee hee... I'm just going to forewarn you now. My next card will have that dude on there whether he fits the theme or not! Lol.

Ah... you may or may not have just inspired the May Theme. And no, it will not be "Floridian Yard Ornaments" :giggle

Is there a birthday theme coming for this month???? :giggle

And Karen... yeah. I'm with you and a little in love with that flamingo. ;)

My card is a little on the strange side. It was word association that popped into my head and would not leave. It may or may not be tied to a 70s disco song. :p

I like having a theme. It was so much to think about and decide without one. April's was good, I just didn't have anything jump out and grab me right away and soon life took over. Maybe a little more general? There were a couple quotes I wanted to use, but then I thought someone else might do that. I just think I over thought the process this month and had too much on my plate. But a theme helps.
 
I much prefer to have a theme :) It gives my imagination a kick start. Can't wait for May's theme now:wooot
 
Hey, Ladies... Don't forget to get me (or Staples) your cards as soon as you can. THANKS! Loving the ones I have so far :)
 
I can't wait to see what the next challenge will be! :)

KAREN... yours came yesterday! (Making a Staples run today).
 
Did you get mine? It was weird because I sent you the order processing thing, and then it seemed like it was two days later that I got the email that it was done. :/

Oh, and yeah, I'm excited to find out about the next one too!
