If you give birth to a boy and a girl, you should name them LUKE and LEIA. You should also talk to your hubby into changing his nickname to ANAKIN, this way you will have yourself a complete Star Wars family.

Thank you to everyone for all your encouraging words. I have to say this pregnancy has been a trying one already, the morning sickness alone is enough to curl any girls toes, but I am fine and getting through it. It takes me a while to get going every morning, clutching my Saltine crackers and cold glass of 7up, but I am good. Still no word on whether or no we are having twins, the doctor said it was too soon to tell, so we have an appointment for next week and he should be able to tell me by then.

UPDATE ON THE BADGES:

So far...I have the badges printed and cut, I will be taking them to the laminators early next week. The parts are all in...however, we have a slight setback, nothing that is terrible...the circuit boards we ordered came in and when we attaching the LED's, we learned they did not drill the holes properly or add zinc in them. So, we had to send them back Triangle and they are fixing the problem. So, the badges will not be going as expected, instead we are looking at mid January, but rest assure, the company did say they are getting right on it and they should be back in my hands by December 26th. Also, when I start to send them out on a first come, first pay basis, I would appreciate any feedback on the badge. Hope to hear from ya soon!!!

Amidala, thank you for the update (both on the badges and on the new bundle of joy!).

Rest assured, I will post excellent feedback for my two badges the same day I receive them.

Thanks again and be well!

I've gotta question, if you're so busy making these badges, how the heck did you have time to conceive a child? Huh?? HAHA! I'm kidding. That's great news and congrats!!! Maybe I missed it in the post... when are you due?

Hi Everyone,

Sorry I have not posted in a very long time, but things are in full chaos here...lol.

The badges are being worked on as we speak. I had to send the circuit boards back a few weeks ago because they did not make the facets correct. We could have just ran wires instead of using a circuit board, but it looked terrible and the badge looked essy from behind, so we decided just to wait for the new boards to come back. We have all the supplies and are making the badges one at a time. We have them all printed out and cut out, the windows where the lights shine through all had to be cut out with an exacto knife, and this took alot of time. They badges are laminated and all we need to do now is wiring them for lights. LED's are very touchy wih heat, so it takes time to solder the wires and lights together. They should be going out very soon. I decided to make all of us fans ours first and them make the celeb ones last. This way we definently have ours way before C4.

I apologize for not posting, but between the badges, this trying pregnancy...and no sorry the baby is a single, no twins as was first thought to be...and making costumes...I have been a very busy woman. I think after C4 I will sit around for a week and do absolutely nothing. I hope everyone is well, this past holiday season has been a sesspool of germs and virus's around here.

If anyone needs any more badges please let me know soon. The extras that I have, I will be bringing with me to C4 and will be Ebay auctioning them. I do have to say that my galactic rewards on my Star Wars charge card piled up quite nicely. I just hope the balance lowers...lol.


Miss ya all and May the Force be with you!!!



applause grin hugs

WOW...Things are busy here...in full swing for C4.

The badges are comming out SWEET. I was surprised by the laminating and how nice they came out. We are busy making the badges and they should be shipping out very soon. I will be private messaging each person as we finish your badge(s) to let you know when they should be in your mailbox. I have been working on them on a first pay first ship service.

I am sorry it took so long to get them out, but we never knew how exact time we would need to complete the project. We thought it would only take a a month or so, but WOW...were we shocked. At least next time, if we make another badge for the group, we will know how long it would take. I think next time we will do something less involved, but just as nice. We have this lightsaber idea we have been throwing around for C5, if it happends.

Thank you all for being so understanding and please let me know what you think about your badge when they arrive. Love ya guys and take care!!!
