Just finished my potion shop card for @bluebird and hope to get it in the mail tomorrow. I’ve been pretty busy and exhausted lately so I’m going to try to finish my outstanding claims in both this swap and the ongoing ornament one before claiming again, but I’m looking forward to doing more! These are so fun!
I’ve got all 4 of my claims in progress… two of them are finished and drying. 
Working on my four claims this weekend. Im excited to try a couple new techniques.
I received this hilarious Count card from @roler.
I don’t know whether the photo makes it clear, but the head, speech bubble, and hand/scissors are all separate pieces from the base. Thanks, roler!
Yay, I’m glad you like it! I haven’t drawn much in years, so it was fun having a reason to get out the colored pencils!
lol, that’s great! 
I love this!
Ahahaha!! I love him!!
Okay…I gave in. I have to play at least a little. I sent in my info.
I had a very happy mailbox yesterday
Its still a bit grey and rainy here so I hope these photos will not be too murky - both cards are just lovely!
@thanate sent me a fantastic robot stitched on paper! It’s so precise and delicate! And bonus, she also some wonderful vintage postage stamps (space stamps zomg!!) as an extra!
@bluebird sent me this exquisite British robin! Look at the detail in this, wow!
I love them both, thank you so much!!
Oh wow, these are both gorgeous!!
Cool robot!
And what a fabulous variety of stamps! 
@jemimah — You’re so very welcome! I’m so happy you loved it! 
@roler — Thank you!
And with that the August swap is (finally!) closed-- also a warning for those claiming, mail to NZ appears to take about a month at the moment.
I received two happy cards in the mail today! They are both wonderful!!
First, from my Animal Crossing theme, here’s Blathers from @bluebird!
Isn’t he adorable?? It looks like he dozed off in the daytime in his museum. What a cute little sweetie!
And then, from @megwell, here’s a card with my “words that are fun to say” theme:
Isn’t that perfect?! Absquatulate is indeed super fun to say! (And omg, spellcheck isn’t flagging it; it sure knows its obscure words!) I didn’t know this word before, and now I plan to use it whenever possible.
Thank you both sooooo much! As I am still super new to ATC swapping, you are helping me to build up my tiny but beloved little collection. See? Here’s the first page:
Anyway, hate to absquatulate, but I promised my brother I’d play Terraria with him tonight, so… later! XD
Blathers is cute and I officially want to say absquatulate every day!
I sent my first claim today!
Blathers! There are so many cute AC crafts going around lately
.
I’m always glad to be a wordy influence; it was nice to have a crafty outlet for it
.
Yay! You’re welcome! 
Ooo… nice word and nice ATC!
@roler sent me this really cool potions shop themed card! It’s so neat with all various styles of potions bottles, thank you so much! 
Yay, glad you like it! I had a ton of fun making it 
Ooh, that’s fun! I like the bottles made with fancy paper cut-outs.
