Beautiful!

I’ve received from the rest of my partners!

Here’s from @geekgirl. I love this butterfly like pattern on the hearts!

Next is from @AudiobookLover. That bee is beautiful!

Last but not least, from @wittychild. Such cute conversation hearts!

This was a fun swap and I will definitely be joining in next year.

@geekgirl - Thriving Out of Spite is my fave ATC in this series yet. I hope you’ll make a separate post for them so I can gush more there!

@AudiobookLover - your embroidered cards are always so imaginative and lovely. That bee :heart_eyes:. But also YOU MADE A STICKER FROM YOUR AMAZING LC ORNAMENTS!? :exploding_head: I definitely need all the details on how you made that. It looks as lovely as the original. Did you design the other sticker as well?

@wittychild - Lovely card! That glitter sticker had me giggling. I love it.

@MamaRhi the postal gods heard you! Look what just showed up in my mailbox (and so perfectly timed).

Galentine Gloriousness

Look at this lovely vintage style galentine! I love the hand coloring and lace. Such fun details.

Plus a gorgeous bookmark and HEDGEHOG STICKERS!!! (Cue high pitched noises) I love them. Thank you!

OMG Yay!!! I was seriously starting to think I could have walked it there by now… I am so glad you like it. Those stickers definitely had me thinking of you.

I also received from @wittychild today! Thank you for the sweet card and the sweet stickers, I love them! Thank you!

And also in my mailbox, the most amazing card from @AudiobookLover what amazing stitching on the bee! And the stickers are amazing! Thank you!

I have put both of your stickers on my sewing cabinet, so I can see them and smile every time I am crafting.

I received from @jeanneleigh!

I love the card and the ATC even more!

And it came in a magnet! Already on my fridge :slight_smile:

I’m trying to hide it but can’t find how on my phone… and Ivknow there’s a tutorial but I’m not finding that either… it’s one of those mornings…

Here are my galentines from @megwell and @Tapestry !

Megwell made an altered card - I like how the lady’s face peeks though and a distinguished cat ATC

And tapestry made a super cute otter card and a cute lettuce themed pop up display

(I’m on my phone and having trouble ordering the photos. Will have to fix when I’m home)

And these few days since I last popped in from the road have really been good ones! WOW! The addition of embroidered cards! So cool, @AudiobookLover .

I’m glad it finally showed its face!

Obviously, feel free to use the ATC a different way (cc: @AudiobookLover and @HeroicHatchling). I just tried to provide a storage option in case my eventual partners didn’t have a history with ATCs.

I had a few more galentines waiting for me when I returned from my trip! These beauties were in the mailbox and were such a delight!

From @Tapestry. I LOVE the little beavers! And the stickers! And the pop up Lettuce pod.


From @Reese52. The pop up card is so much fun! I already started using the chapstick holder!


From @irid3sc3nt. So much fun to incorporate old valentines! I love the creation and the fun little tealight holder!

I received two more Galentine cards today! :heart: :heart:

From @jeanneleigh, a fun collaged card with what may be my new motto:

The mesh crown is such a cool touch!

She included a beautiful ATC. Actually, this might be my new motto. We all need a little optimism!

I also received from @EclecticDreamer. First, this lovely card:

And an ATC plus some sweet extras. I squealed a little bit because pink is my power colour…and I love rainbows and bright colours of any stripe.

I know the post office wasn’t being super-conducive to a smooth swap, but I’m surprised (in the best way) at how quickly this arrived.

I’ve got a small but growing collection of LC art, and these ATC’s will be joining it. Thank you both!

That “dream” thing pops open and has other words inside

I don’t think anybody I send them to realize that.

Also: yay! I sent yours… 5 days later than my 2 USA based partners… neither ofv theirs have shown up yet :disappointed_face: update gozer got hers!

Oh, it does! I love the sentiment.

I have photos! I was on vacation last week.

From @jeanneleigh



The card is mixed-media with fabric. She may look demure, but she is fierce.
The craft is an ATC magnet! It immediately went on my fridge.

From @Kwality570



I think the card is a horny devil​:wink::laughing: Love it.
The craft are stickers! I have rotated through them in their baggie on the fridge. Currently I have the explorer in their pith helmet.

From @geekgirl



Oh! The card came with an extra heart as well! I like the details in the heart.
The craft is an ATC magnet! It went up on my fridge. I have been thinking this very same sentiment recently, especially because I’m the same age as my mom when I was thirteen. My son is turning thirteen in less than a week. I do not count myself as an adult. I only pretend to be one :zany_face:

Thank you all for my lovely Galentines! And thank you to @gozer for organizing! So glad I joined this year!

I received from @AudiobookLover today, and oh my goodness!

She sent a beautiful machine-embroidered bee card:

I can’t begin to fathom working with that shiny material!

Inside was a little envelope with two holographic stickers:

I was positively drooling when she originally posted her heart ornaments, and to have a sticker-fied rendition is chef’s kiss.

Thank you so much! :heart:
