    I've finished my gifts but need to get screenshots of them - always the worst part for me as I rarely manage a screenshot that expresses the build the way I wish to show it. However I'm happy with my gifts and am looking forward to sharing them.

    Hiya Rose! I'm so excited for gifting to start next week! I don't know if it's just me but it seems to have come quickly. And we have such a wonderful group and with my awesome co-hostess this has been the smoothest exchange yet! I'm so happy you've shared it with us! :D

    I know what you mean with the screenshots. I struggle a lot with them especially of toddlers and pets. The camera just won't go the way I want it to or as close as I want it to. And the same with builds. But I'm sure yours will be awesome so no worries. :D

    I managed to complete one gift in its entirety last night. I am really pleased with it, especially considering as it is something that I generally find difficult to do. I am already half way through the second, and I have another two planned. :) Out of interest how many gifts are we suppose to do? I can do more than the ones I have planned if I am suppose to. :)

    As I said before, May is a very busy month for me, and things are already starting to get a little hectic. I should make the next check-in, but it is the day before my birthday, which is the beginning of the 5 family events within that week. If I don't turn up for the check-in take this as that. My husband is working on our anniversary, which means that I will be able to come on the first day of gifting and deliver my gifts.

    Lots of love and hugs. :)

    All that is required of anyone is one homemade gift. If you've made more that is wonderful too! :D But only one is necessary.

    I will count this as your check in. :D My brother shares a birthday with you. :)

    I'm checking in early! Between internet availability and traveling to my parent's this weekend for Mother's Day, I thought it best to check in early. I am finished with my gifts. Pics are taken, multiple versions are in launcher to give my giftee downloadable choices, I even found my notebook with all my little notes about each gift (after having a mini panic attack when I couldn't find it last night only to discover it in a bag I left it in a week or so ago). I should be ready to go for delivery!
