How does the Sticks Game work?

I can’t wait to get that sweet postcard :heart:

The bag is sensational :tada:

The Sticks game instructions are posted here:

I didn’t include the cards coz they are so heavy, but the sticks are certainly there.

Thanks for the kind words!

@Ezrib – ah, cute fireflies! I tried a tutorial from Andrea Nelson that had fireflies, but I like they way yours turned out so much better! I had to resort to covering up a bunch with acrylic… And those trophies! Brilliant and I wish I had a group of friend that would Taskmaster with me…

@Trillian – Love the wallet design!

@LovelyMiss – aaaah, such pretty flowers, I admire people who can make arrangements look so put together! And I agree, the cookie cutter was a tough one and I did almost go the stencil route, because it does look so cool.

@Tanath – Adorable mushrooms, I love mushrooms (both in artwork and food!).

@Tapestry – Those skull flowers are so cute! And amazing tracking page, as always! The batsicle hoop is adorable.

@Gozer – I’ve always wanted to make wildflower seed paper, did you follow any sort of tutorial? Did it sprout? The books read this year plaques are amazing, I am slightly more partial to the owl one…

@Mountains_and_Clouds – Wow. I tried to make fortune cookies once and it was hard. Those look awesome!

@Audiobooklover – Brilliant use of the cookie cutter, I love that embroidered moth!

@Craftaddchick – That whale art is fantastic… or should I say fintastic? :smiley: (I know, I know, it’s a fluke, not a fin…)

@Storerboughtcreation – Sewing amigurumi together after crocheting it is my least favorite part, I look for patterns with fewer pieces so I feel your pain. Looks great, though!

@Bunny1kenobi – I really like that purse design, and the Queen of Hearts crossbody bag is gorgeous. The bird postcard is so cute!

@Stirlingarts – cute doll, and all those outfits are amazing. Reminds me of my childhood when my mom crocheted dresses for my Barbies. And the mouse! Eeek! Wow, that swing is amazing, and great use of the plank… that photo op was adorable and popular! That postcard is gorgeous, I love that style.

@MistressJennie – great tote bag! Looks very sturdy and good for hauling all sorts of stuff.

@HeroicHatchling – those watercolors are magnificent! So many of the best subjects all together… books, plants, and tea, what more do you need?

@Nightlight – beautiful landscape ATCs!

@Saintcady – that parasol!!! The geodes! So much amazing!
