@endymion it’s a peony 
I followed a YouTube video to learn to draw one.

Clearly, I do not know flowers! My guilty confession: I so HATE gardening. Don’t get me wrong, I love flowers … but not so good at identifying them (obviously.)

I added some new themes to my list in the March claiming thread.

Oh yay, the bumblebee arrived! It is so well done; I’m glad it didn’t fly away from its intended destination.

Gorgeous! The depth and saturation of the colors is amazing. @gozer was this done with Copic markers?

Yeah, Copics, white gel pen and some Spicas for shimmer. This pic shows the color better, since you mentioned it. That color pink was a bear to get to come out right in a photograph, and of course i gravitate towards it. LOL!

Hi, swappers! Claims have been trailing off after the January rush, so just wanted to check in & get a sense of how people’s enthusiasm levels are holding up!
- Yay!!! More ATCs forever!!
- I’ll probably sign up for next month.
- Sounds great, but…
- Everything is stupid & I need a break!

I was occupied with two other swap, but those are wrapping up now. I planned on joining next month, but to be honest, I will probably only make about 3 or 4 claims.

3-4 claims is totally normal, and worth having the swap around for! It’s just when only 2 or 3 people sign up and maybe 5 cards get sent all month that I start to worry it’s not worth taking up a swap slot, so I’m just trying to make sure I check in periodically & get a sense for what everyone’s up right now.

I received a beautiful birdie card from @cindy! This is a “bird dressed for winter” and it is so sparkly!! 
It doesn’t show well in my photo, but there is glittery goodness on every part of this except the blue feathers. Each little detail (colors, glitter, ear muffs) represents someone important to @cindy, so sweet! 
AND IT GLOWS IN THE DARK!! 
Thank you, I love it!
