Hi there! I'd like to remind you all once again that the deadline is the 15th. Message me ASAP if you can't make this happen and we'll make a plan.  21 days until the workshop! I'm so excited!!!

Yay, I received two packages today, from Bakeneko and Robinpich! The cards are all fantastic, as were the descriptions and info that went along!

Here are Bakeneko's cards:

"Pointturtle"

"Amorphic Turtle"

"Seeds ready to leave the soil"

"Spooks in the contour map"

"The ocean's getting my camera wet"

"Gradiated Squid"


Your titles are all fantastic and great examples of how titles can really open up new meanings to the cards. Thank you!

And Robinpich's cards:

"Under the Sea"

"Zentangle"

"Smile"

"Love Birds"

"Butterflies & Flowers"

"Zentangle letter cut out"


Thanks for the great variety of techniques and materials! The bubble wrap one is really cool--- I never would have thought of that!

Sorry this update is coming so late, but I'm sad to report that even with Linda giving me an extended signup period (an extra four days; today was the new deadline) , we had no 4-Hers sign up for our workshop  . I'm sorry that you went through all the trouble to help even though it's not going to happen, but rest assured that I won't be leaving you hanging.

Dreadlady, I haven't received your cards as of yet, I'm sure they just got delayed in the holiday rush, but I will be sending you, Bakeneko, and Robinpich each six cards and supplies to compensate for the ones you sent me, as well as the grab bags that were to go to the kids. If you guys are all still interested, we could also still do the personal swap if you'd like.

I can't tell you if it was lack of interest or what, but most likely it was the age limit I had to put on the workshop. If younger kids could've signed up, I think we would've had something. Again, I'm really sorry this didn't work out, and I hope you aren't too disappointed that all your cards will be made by me (Maybe I'll get my mom to try some. Does that count?)

[Robinpich]

AWWW, Leather, that is too bad.  The kids just don't realize what they are missing since ATCs are soooo fun.  I know you're disappointed, but maybe try again some other time. 

I appreciate you sending all of us 6 cards in return, but you don't have to do that (unless you just want to) 
I always love getting ATCs in the mail, but please (at least I feel this way, don't know about everyone else), don't "kill" yourself trying to make 18 cards (whew!), I'd be worn out and have NO ideas for that many cards. hahahaaa...
But I will be excited to get them :-)
Thanks for letting us know. 

(and the bubble wrap was TOTally not my idea, I saw it on another ATC board and just loved it, so gave it a try).

Thanks again,
Robin

Leather and lace you don't have to send me six cards. It is 4-H thing I know how hard it is to get them organized and get kids to attend. Don't feel bad that's just how organizing volunteer groups work. Try doing it again at a camp or a workshop or like a regular monthly meeting so that you have a captive audience.
