Ooops, I broke my self-imposed rule; I now have three outstanding claims at once instead of just two… But I have such fun ideas I want to try! I hope they all work! These ones might take longer than previous ones because I have more complicated plans…

I’ve been getting 5 at a time. But, only 3 right now. Snow day tomorrow! Yay!

And today I received my adult merit badge from @roler! (Please excuse the glare; for some reason I didn’t take the card out of the sleeve before photographing.)

Why, thank you, I did indeed put on pants today!

Yay, glad my ATCs are finding happy homes!

Meanwhile, today I received ATCs myself, and from members of the same family!

First, here’s my “medieval manuscript” themed card from @Lynx:


It’s my first initial, illuminated manuscript style! It’s so pretty! Thanks, fellow Laura!!

Next, here are not one but TWO adorable Pokémon cards from @GeekyBookworm:



It’s Dugtrio and Flabébé! They are both darling and already slipped into my Pokémon collection in proper Pokédex order. Thanks for spoiling me! <3

One from @Lynx here— from the liminal space between maps & landscapes, “Over the river & thru the woods to Grandmother’s house:”

Love the colors!

I got one from @Lynx also! It is for my theme “windows and doors”.

She said she was already carving a stamp of a beach window when she saw my list and had to claim me!

You can see the whole image in the photo below, which shows everything she sent:

Now I’m really going to reveal my ignorance… is there a special craft-related definition of “envies”?

No, sorry, just short for envelopes.

Doh! Can’t believe I didn’t get that!

Quick organizer note-- please make sure you’re messaging me both when you send and when you receive! There’s a lot going on in this swap, and consistent communication will help me not have to print out spreadsheets & tear our my hair in a couple weeks trying to figure out what has actually gotten where it needs to go! :green_heart:

I had made 4 of my 5 claims… but then I decided I had to re-do 2 of them. So my progress seems to be a few steps forward and a few steps back. Cha cha cha!

I received two lovely watercolor egg cards from @Lynx! They both have beautiful shimmery metallic watercolor on them that doesn’t show that well in the photo. She sent them in this cute little birdie envie too! Thank you! :blush: :egg: :egg: :bird:
