Lettuce Show Off Our Personal Swap Goodies!

@Lynx I am so happy you like it, and it lifted your spirits today! You are an excellent swap partner! thank you for coming to my hoopla rescue!

thanks, @AIMR and @Nou! I like to do something with the hoops, and am trying to break out of my rut of just painting. BUT I did learn to paint first THEN burn. It stinks more, and I’m sure it’s bad (is this paint gonna ignite? WHO KNOWS?), but it was easier than having to go back and touch up.

{also…check you out @Nou! I see you posting! yeah!}

I received my pocket letter from @geekgirl, but first, she also included some gelli prints on newspaper!

I just love those colors and shapes. They feel more light and delicate than a newspaper does, though.

I already have plans for the blue and green one.

We agreed to make fandom PLs and gg made my DS9 dream come true!

Sisko, Jake, and Dax:


I think Sisko as a father has always been overlooked.

Bashir, DS9, and Worf:


She made DS9 as a wild, glittery space station. It’s probably the one time I have not tried to figure somwthinf out. I like not knowing.

Quark, Odo, and Kira:

GG found sarcasm even at the edge of the quadrant. Good stuff, right?

And then she went and stuffed all the backs:

Which I did not do! Gah! I should just know better, and do all the things! So generous!! She also sent a few supply items casually mentioned.

Thank you so much, GG! You are so kind, talented…and funny AF. For reals. :metal:

It’s this stuff. I got it for a project I never did. I’m not that crazy about it but I still have most of a pad left so I’m sure I’ll think of something to do with it.

Oh, I’ve seen that in the store before! (Or maybe just the brand). Thank you!

@Lynx made me this AMAZING lettuce merit badge. I love it! The subtle variegated greens on the fabric and lettuce are lovely and the black and white lettering is fantastic. She always puts so many personal touches in her packages. Even the card includes insects because she knows I love them. Thank you, Lynx2Lancer!

@GMPNQ and I agreed to a personal swap and she sent me such a wonderful envelop full of goodies, thank you ever so much my friend. I truly appreciate kind and lovely mail at all times but especially now.

So much fun stuff but of course the crowning jewel of the collection has to be this spectacular scrappy mushroom ATC! Way to pack so many of my faves into a tiny piece, it is simply awesome.

Thanks again, so very much. This really made my day :heart_eyes:

You are welcome :smiley::+1:

I added the details to the ATCs by writing on a tag and attaching with a brad, so that you can sew the ATC on to something, if you want to, and still keep the details.

I’m glad my little package was able to brighten life a little

Oh, it’s going onto my sewing machine cover for sure. I’ve been saving patches for that for years! Maybe this is the month I get it together, we’ll see :blush:

I was so impressed by @MightyMitochondria’s amazing embroidered magnets (and she knows I love magnets!) that we did a private swap. I sent her the Lettuce merit badge, and she spoiled me with these awesome magnets:


The card was from Edel, but she had to trim it to fit in her envelope.

Action shot!
