I did!! Beautiful!
After countless days of no mail I received a bounty today 
and in that bounty was this beautiful ATC!!! 
“Adventure in life is good; consistency in coffee even better.”
I added “watercolor practice” to my theme list because of the beautiful watercolors @Whistlefish shared in the Snapshot Thread and then I ended up getting this beauty 
I love love love it! Thank you @Whistlefish

I’m glad you love it!! I had made this even before those watercolor flowers. It was this, and another ATC, that inspired me to do more water coloring. And there shall be more to come! Muahahaha…

@Lynx @Reinikka You guys are so funny! The best part is you both already have an ATC on its way to you!! It should be there any day now. Although I hope they live up to the anticipation…

That Impractical Jokes card is silly and I love it! I can hear their voices in my head as I see it. Love the idea of adding a window to an ATC.

Somehow I stopped getting notifications from this thread! So much to catch up on, and so much beautiful work. <3
I received my first from @bluebird – a whimsical Moomin! Thank you, he is adorable!
Also, I had a question on how to mark our claims in the swap thread – I have now sent 4 cards, and just claimed a new one. Do I write that as 5 claims, 4 sent, or 1 claim, 4 sent? (As in, do the claims get moved to “sent” once they are out of my hands, or once they are received?) It has been so long since I did an ongoing swap I can’t remember.

I’m so glad you enjoyed him!
People do their tracking differently, but this is how I do it.
I think of any new claims as in progress claims. This is how I mark mine:
6 total claims —— 2 in progress claims, 1 in transit, 3 received
It’s easy to double check, just add them up and they should match the total number of claims.
So for you I would mark it:
5 total claims —— 1 in progress claims, 4 in transit, 0 received
and once any have been received I move them from ‘transit’ to ‘received’. So say 2 people have received from you then:
5 total claims —— 1 in progress claims, 2 in transit, 2 received

A) You can always check the first post of the claim thread for the official write-up!
b) I do it as number claimed/number sent/number received. (If you claim a lot, the first number may go over 10, but as long as the first minus the second isn’t over ten, you’re fine.) Whether you want to track claimed but not sent as a separate number is up to you.
