I think the part of sending to as many Peas as you can threw me a little. I wondered a little if some of that "request other types of cards" could be about people requesting NO Easter or ONLY Easter or what have you.
I am clearly continuing to overextend myself craftily, but I've got one of Connie's quick sheetload type sketches I'm excited to try.

Honestly, if someone is requesting only easter and you’re not inclined to make easter, then don’t send them a card, or just send them a spring card anyways. It’s all good. I think you’ll find most participants are NOT picky and happy to receive anything. Don’t overthink it. |

Overthinking R me, but I'll try When this card exchange was started several years ago, it was specifically set up so that it felt inclusive to anyone who wants to join in. Thus how loosey-goosey it is, and the lack of rules. Roll with it 😉 it’s a good thing! |

Overthinking R me, but I'll try I agree with the other Peas!! These card swaps are so relaxed and stress-free. Don't worry about a thing. Just have fun!! |

Okay, Peas. I've closed sign ups. Looks like we landed at 23 participants. 2 from Canada and the rest USA participants. I'll get the list out soon, so be checking your in boxes. Sometimes it goes to SPAM so be on the lookout there too. I'll post in this thread when I send out the list. Have fun creating and thanks for participating!

Got the list! Your message says 24 signed up, but the list you sent has 23 names! My mistake. I didn't account for the column headings. 23 it is. |

List sent! Check your SPAM. Checked both my inboxes & both my spam (I have two email addresses & I confess I don't remember which one I used) and don't have the list.  |

I just wanna say I love how perfect the number of participants ended up being (if you're in the US that is) where you only need to buy one book of forever stamps!  |

I received my first card last week, mine are mailing out today. I’ve challenged myself to only use my stash for the card exchange. Since tc and I live in the same city, her card is always the last one I make. It’s either a creative one off (February) or a simple “I’m done” (Spring). 😂 The lack of mojo is real. |

I'm getting a late start on my cards. I was waylaid by covid for 3+ weeks. I'm starting to feel good enough to not spend all day on the couch being a sick potato. I made my first 5 cards for the swap on Saturday. I will have everyone's mailed by the deadline, so not as early as I usually am.
My first card arrived yesterday (but I haven't opened yet)!

Sent out my cards two days ago. I challenged myself to use up some of my stash I haven't used in ages. Anyone remember brads?  And those bottles of flowers? Well I had too many..  |

I skipped the V Day exchange, so I'm especially loving the spring cards that have made their way to the PNW. They are so bright and cheery and just plain make me smile, thank you all so much! lisae, I always note that you watercolor your cards (and I look forward to them), such talent! |

lisae I also live your watercolors. Tulip turned out beautiful and the high contrast only makes it pop even more.

I was thinking my post person was stealing my cards. Then I got 7 all at once. So finally got some! Such pretty cards. You are all so talented! |

And those bottles of flowers? Well I had too many..
