ok, guys.
so i guess there's a lot of confusion going around (sorry, i can't help with that as i am confused to.) and i think the conference call never pushed through. but, don't get discouraged, ok? i haven't seen a post as of yet for the first person to send out their required journal, but it's the last day of the month and the prize is awaiting! :)
so...who's it gon' be?

I'm CONFUSED!!!!?!?!?!?**** ?!?!#?@?$?^?&*?(?
So do I not send Dee's journal out to Cristina anymore? Am I to send it to Frannybaloo?
so I guess this isn't a circle anymore.. it seems more like a hop-skip-jumping around journal journey----- (I think I've lost it. I gotta stop doing homework on the computer for a bit. My brain is mooosh)

waaahhh.

waaahhh.
be honest. did anyone understand francia's post? because i sure didn't. i think i'm just going to wait for my journal and the new copy of the "rules & regulations." it's not that you didn't explain it correctly, francia, it's just that my brain can't handle that much information, haha!
what i do know is that i am one of the designated "prizegivers" and you all better get those journals in the mail asap. i have tons of stuff to give away -- unopened and ready to be USED.
so....who's gonna be the first one? heck, let's even throw in a 2nd place winner just for the kick-off month. is that ok, francia? i'll wait for your approval...
**EDIT** oh wait, i get it now. i just had to read the post over again. chalk one up for the teacher... :)

is it?
i know i said i'd post a recap of the rules here by monday night and it is now friday morning. yikes. quite the lagger am i. i'm sorry for being negligent! here goes--finally:
first, here's a quick recap of circle journal passing order:
ANGIE mails to CHELLEBEE mails to MARITES mails to DEE mails to KATHEE mails to EM mails to CRISSY mails to FRANNY mails to KEERZ mails to REGI mails to MEECHY mails to WING mails to ANGIE.
i know there's much confusion about girls having one, two, or zero journals in their possession. in an effort to clear all of this up, we need to figure out who has whose journals. this is what i think i know--correct me if i'm wrong:
ANGIE has 1 journal. (her own--angie's journal)
CHELLEBEE has 2 journals. (wing's & meechy's)
MARITES has 0 journals.
DEE has 0 journals.
KATHEE has 2 journals. (chellebee's & marites')
EMELY has 0 journals.
CRISSY has 1 journal. (dee's)
FRANNY has 1 journal. (em's)
KEERZ has 2 journals. (crissy's & kathee's)
REGI has 0 journals.
MEECHY has 1 journal. (keerz')
WING has 2 journals. (regi's & franny's)
anyhow, we should technically be in month 5 of the exchange by the first of march. therefore, i propose that regardless of whose journal you have or don't have this month (february)--the people who have so&so's journal should mail it out to the next recipient on the list...in this case, it may not be your regular recipient. this may create a gap in that journal's cycle, but most of the journals have placeholders or allot a specific number of pages per person, so just skip the necessary number of paginas to your spot in the journal. get it? got it? good!
so by the end of february, regardless of whether or not you've finished with the journal or the people after you have had a chance to make their entry for that journal, please mail ________'s journal to ____________.
ANGIE's journal needs to be mailed to KATHEE.
CHELLEBEE's journal needs to be mailed to EMELY.
MARITES' journal needs to be mailed to CRISSY.
DEE's journal needs to be mailed to FRANNY.
KATHEE's journal needs to be mailed to KEERZ.
EMELY's journal needs to be mailed to REGI.
CRISSY's journal needs to be mailed to MEECHY.
FRANNY's journal needs to be mailed to WING.
KEERZ' journal needs to be mailed to ANGIE.
REGI's journal needs to be mailed to CHELLEBEE.
MEECHY's journal needs to be mailed to MARITES.
WING's journal needs to be mailed to DEE.
this will put us back on track and hopefully limit the confusion for the following months. because of this, we will start the "i sent it first!" contests for the end of march so that everyone will have a chance since everyone should have a journal in march.
in december, when the journals return to their owners, we can plan a crop weekend for after the holidays (like early january) where we can allow those who haven't finished their journal entries to finish. we can have it at someone's house/aparto in orange/l.a. county or if you all don't mind coming to san diego i can host it at my house (and i'll share my scrapbooking supplies with you all).
--
okay. so now that we sort of cleared everything up...call me if you are still confused!--here's the lowdown on our reward system.
1. journals need to be mailed out by the end of the month. so the journals you receive in early march need to be mailed out by march 31st.
2. the person who is the first to send out their journal for the month will receive an envelope of good stuff from the "prizegiver" for that month.
3. how do we know if you were the first to send out your journal? write a post on the blog with the time & date you sent your stuff out. it would show up on your receipt at the post office.
4. i know we sometimes don't have immediate internet access after running errands, so you don't need to be the first to post that you sent your stuff out first. but you have until midnight on the last day of the month to post the date & time that you sent your journal out.
5. the prizegiver will then announce a contest winner on the blog. winner is the person who sent out their journal first. in case of a tie, the names of those involved in tie will be placed in a hat and a winner will be drawn.
6. GOD knows when and if you are lying! so be honest. we're playing on the honor system...it's all in good fun anyhow.
i'm sorry if i'm making all of this more difficult than it needs to be. i'm open to suggestions on making it simpler if this doesn't fly with you all.

i have one journal in possession that i have finished, but have not yet sent out. i just received one in the mail last week. am i supposed to be sending out one by the end of the month? or two?
help!
help!

Kathee- I don't think you should use my Fullerton address to mail the journals. Nothing bad happened... It's just that I didn't receive them yet, and I'm worried that if the mail man leaves it on my doorstep instead of the leasing office, the journals might randomly walk away. If you didn't send them out yet, just use my Chino Hills address. But if you did when you said you would.. then once again, "uh-oh"... b/c I didn't receive them yet. Hopefully it's just b/c they are still with you... hopefully that's the case.

word on the streets is that angie is still down to press on with our new goal to complete the circle in 2008.
and i didn't finish my journal this weekend as i had predicted. nor did the patriots win the superbowl. and because that was so, kirsten is getting an envelope of goodies in the mail.
kirs, it's more likely that you'll first be getting the journal (i finished it yesterday, but i still need to get it in an envelope and send it off) and the goodies later because my scraproom is a hot mess right now.
how goes everyone else's circle journal journey? is everyone pretty much set to have a journal for february? please leave a post here if you've sent/received a journal. if we're going to try to achieve our goal for '08, we've got to have accountability, folks!
alright, have a happy fat tuesday (what's left of it anyway)...talk to you soon!
yay for bscottj!
