I received from @megwell for my sun & beach themes.
I love the layers. And the sentiments are very relatable 
Thank you!

From @bluebird for Little Good Things:
(and Iāve been staring at this because my brain is all, āah yes, many people find Wordle to be an excellent little good thingā and also ābut just at the moment itās part of the NYT tech guild strikeā¦ā So hereās the link for the tech guildās games site with āStrikleā for those who might rather play that for now: Guild Builds)

I didnāt know there was a strike, this is the first I have heard of it. 
Yes, I only meant that wordle is a little good thing as a puzzle I enjoy solving.

And apparently the strike is now over, so carry onā¦ (I would not have known about it either, except for several people on my various social medias who keep track of these things.

Speaking of strikesā¦
Canada Post is on strike, which means no letter mail going in or going out. So Iām not sure what to do, as I have claimed 2 ATCs that will now more than likely not reach their destinations on time. @thanate, is it possible for me to get an extension on the ATCs I have claimed, until the strike is over? Perhaps I can still make them and send a photo while the strike is still on?
We do not have an alternative for letter mail in Canada, so I really have no way to send theseā¦ I suppose thereās the option to use UPS to send a package, but for an ATC that will be exceedingly expensive.
If any fellow Canadians have any suggestions, Iām all earsā¦ @Cindy

Go ahead and make them and hold on to them until the strike is over. If it goes over two weeks we will call for an Angel and you can send them when its over. There wonāt be any marks against you. Fingers Crossed it clears up quickly and you are back swapping again.

Ok, I said this in the pm thread, but repeating here: I assume this also applies to cards sent into Canada, so while from this side we can put things in the mail, we shouldnāt expect them to arrive in a timely manner. If you are sending to @LindyBlues, make sure to take a photo of your card before sending! If the strike goes on long enough to mess with deadlines, I may ask you to post a spoilered photo of anything languishing in the mail as interim proof of sending.
(ETA, since I already have a card in strike limbo from last month, Iāve claimed LindyBlues so that hers is no longer the last list, & US swappers are free to jump in w/o worrying about all this)

I wish I had an idea, with Canada Post being the only letter carrier thereās nothing to do but wait. Whenever they strike, itās always just before Christmas

Maybe thatās intentional. Which is, Iām sure, even more frustrating.

Gorgeous turtle @gozer ! You work magic with those markers.
Speaking of, check out this evil bunny she made me!
Maybe thatās just strawberry jam on the knife?! He looks way too sweet to be suspicious.lol.
Thank you!

Thanks for sharing your collection! It was great to see, especially as I wasnāt entirely sure what altered playing cards meant, e.g. how much of the original card should be showing. This gives me a great overview of how to make one. Which is great, because somehow Iāve ended up with about 5 decks of playing cards in my house, and weāre not card players, really 
Oooh; I love the neon frog, and the watercolour flower is beautiful as well! I especially like the background on both of these. They complement the subjects so nicely and really makes them pop!
@jellybean, such a cute little ghost!
@gozer, @thanate, @bluebird, and @curiousfae, thank you all so much for your understanding and patience as Canada Post continues their strike. As frustrating as it is, Iāve looked a bit more deeply into it, and I do hope the workers get what theyāre asking for, especially the rural workers up North. 
@gozer, what a beautiful turtle!

And in administrative notes, we have reached the End of November, and what with everyoneās recent claim levels & holiday mail volumes & the ongoing Canada Post strike Iām thinking maybe we take a break for December & see where we are in the new year. Any objections?

Good point @thanate ! Thanks for organizing. You deserve a break! See you next year.
Iām glad your daughter liked the card. It was fun researching the character.
