Update

The Camp Nerd Games Trading Post is closed! Packages will be shipped in about two weeks. I’ll PM tracking numbers when they go out, as usual. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns in the meantime.

Huge apologies to everyone for being MiA this month! Our big bird festival is on Saturday, and I’ve also been doodling for our local version of ink/birdtober, so I have LOTS of things to post, but between all of that and my tendonitis acting up (and my eyeballs hating screens lately) I haven’t had a chance, but will hopefully be able to read the thread and dump a bunch of things very soon!

Take it easy. Looking forward to seeing what you’ve got!

Hey, y’all! Revel in creativity and get to know our fellow Nerds a bit better by joining the Nerd Games Swap! It is for one medium or two small items, and anything you make can be submitted to the Nerd Games this season! There is one week left to sign up.

If you’re curious about shipping costs: Shipping for most of the packages I send within the USA for the Nerd Games (including all the Camp packages), and recent swap packages, have been averaging about $8-9. I purchase the postage online from USPS, which has slightly lower rates than the retail counter. Plan to keep your packages under a pound and in a small or medium box and shipping will likely be around that $10 mark.

If you want to join but have a legitimate financial barrier for shipping, please PM me!

Hope to see you there! :grin:

I really want to, but November is my busiest month and I’m trying to make good decisions for myself this year, HAHA

edit to add: ā€œgood decisionsā€ regarding my bad habit to always dig myself into holes and bite off more than I can chew!

I feel like I have become some evil craft whisperer this season, because after trying to tempt @Smeddley to buy more pipe cleaners, I feel inclined to say…

Psst! @Mountains_and_Clouds you should join the swap anyway. You’ll have lots of fun, and you’ll be crafting anyway. What’s one more? :zany_face:

(But seriously, if you’re not able or inclined to join this round, it’s cool. I just feel a bit mischievous I suppose :grin:)

I just got my Trading Post package!

I don’t know that it’s spoilable since they’re quite individual, but for now I’ll just say I can’t decide whether to wear my new socks immediately or save them for when I’m visiting family tomorrow so other people can see them :laughing:.

Thanks again (perpetually), @LovelyMiss!

I’m in this same boat! I already feel overwhelmed with stuff I need to do. But it sure would be fun to swap with fellow nerds…

I’m sorry you’re drowning. Here’s Walter to give you some support. He’ll loan you his floaty. :heart:

Awww, thank you, Walter. It’s a very, very nice floaty. I sent in my questionnaire last night.

I don’t know if there’s one of those bank teller chutes directly from Ashley’s house to mine, but my Trading Post delivery also arrived yesterday (even though I think it was saying something like November 6 estimate)!

I got a lovely package from @LovelyMiss as well! Is it weird that I’m equally excited by the tiny padded envelope the pins came in because I can use that to ship small items? And I definitely squirreled away that shipping box for future use because I’m crazy. But the items in the box were awesome as well and very, very timely because my last tape measure broke recently.

I got my box today! Thanks @LovelyMiss :butterfly::heart::butterfly:
