@JoyfulClover and I decided to swap pocket letters. She went with a Farscape theme. I love that moya the ship stretches across the whole thing with other characters layered on top. And she added quotes for each character on the back. It looks great and it was her first pocket letter!
AND. AND. AND ( can you tell I’m excited about this?)
We discovered that we both read the Trixie Belden series as kids and loved them. And she shared that she had a trixie belden notebook made from an old Trixie Belden book. Neither of us had ever met anyone else who read Trixie so to share the love she made me my own TB notebook!!!
I received my notecards from @Bunny1kenobi from our personal swap.
I love them all. I’m not sure I could pick a favorite pair. The coloring pages one are so bright and cheery. And I love the vintage-y ones - I have a thing for tape measures in my art work. And the mermaids are so fancy looking. And then there are the cute little crows with balloons.
I’m glad you like your notecards, geekgirl! I was so excited to use master boards for the first time!
Those are gorgeous necklaces, Anna!

Such a cool pocket letter! I love how the ship goes across the entire pocket letter. The notecards are really nice. I bet that red strand necklace would look pretty with the red shawl I made you.
So many wonderful things being swapped! I love it!
I love you love it! I know the PL isn’t as …flourished? as many are, but I was happy to fit in every character you mentioned, and not make it uber cluttered. In retro, I probably could have typed out the quotes, and attached them to the front (as most others do), but I really wanted to make sure Moya was featured well, and I was also able to work on lettering styles. Overall, I am satisfied with the final output.
I still cannot believe you are a Trixie fan! I mean, honestly!! I kept every page there was some type of image or graphic and made sure they were included in order. Bob Whites of the Glen FOREVER!!!

@magpie and I are thrilled these great atcs (from Dec swap and a Discord trade, as well as her wonderful surprise Little Thing card) after taking a scenic stroll through who knows where finally made their way to my house yesterday!
She sure does! Notecards are difficult to make too. I had no idea!

They are easy to overthink thus making them difficult.

Those are wonderful…
I love receiving notecards in swaps but, like you, I am torn between using them and keeping them…and please, anyone who makes these gorgeous cards, please sign them on the back because when I send them, I want to give credit!!!

If I remember who made the card, I try to give credit, but signing is a great idea.
Oh wow, I have missed so much! I’ll backtrack a bit…
J-clove, that lettuce stamp is excellent.
What is it with that terrible show? I made my man watch every single episode and then I was sad when it ended.
Deep space too. Nice Laura, I like the cutout.
Bunny, your cards are marvelous! So many different styles too, super cool.
Anne, I know just how much time, effort & skill goes into those barrel necklaces. When you showed me how to make them and it took over an hour to complete a wonky inch, lol. You are a bead master!

swapped napkins with GMPNQ[/quote]
Both of you sent such great napkins! Where do I find those chickens (both kinds!) and birds?
Some are from Tuesday Morning (there’s not one near me, so it’s once or twice a year in SoCal), some are from Whole Foods, and some are from Joggles. I try to remember to look when I’m in any store with party supplies or kitchen/entertaining.
None of those shops are in Canada, except wholefoods but the nearest one is far. Oh well, I will just have to live without napkin chickens until somebody sends me a fun birdie ATC
Thank you for the wonderful swap, bunny!
