where are all of my September swappers?

for great ideas on postcards, go to bing, put in quilted post cards, and hit image at top, some are truly outrageous,
lets get creative, use those cute buttons, and trims, agreat way to get rid of them when you've only got one or two
of course, i'm in on this one too.

lets get signed up...................the more the merrier. Fast, easy & quick turn around. Dotty has October, November & December done already................

So are there swaps for November & December listed somewhere already?

I'll sign up for those, but don't know where to look.

Thanks,
Debs & Hemi

i'm done andready to mail. i like dotty's idea, do them all at once and you're done. Way to go Dotty!!!

don't have them listed , look for the first week of each month to post. :D

here's november's postcard. spent two hrs maging it, it was fun, used new techniques on yo-yos.
now...who's gonna get it????

How come we get to see Nov, but not October's?

Just curious. Have my idea but haven't executed it yet!

Debs & Hemi

ok i'll give this a try. put me down for the swap

coz... it's done and ready to go, i got a great idea for christmas, wish i knew the theme now, canwe get a hint, or should i go with my gut feeling?????
did you like nov?????

Lynnie, great card. I've been wondering what everyone's up to lets see some October cards posted.

Here are my two "October is time to Party" mask postcards, made using the Broderie Perse technique. Added feathers, batik fabric and stitching.

great card Cassie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

all names have been assigned, let the mailing begin.

Well I don't mind telling you the October holiday scares me. I'm a big frady cat, thus the black cats. I love the autumn air and the color change, but the foliage dying isn't what I like to see. "To everything there is a season", so hold on until spring. I included a magnet for my swap person. I like making them, wish we had more magnet swaps going on the side. Maybe we can incorp them into the Postcard, tradingcard swap. Its just a thought. Back to my card, the back side looks like Bee instead of Boo so I think i will add "nice" in ink. Enjoy the process everyone.

Really l+o+v+e your card and magnets. I've never done magnets before, but think its a great idea. Why not have two things going each month, one for postcards and one for magnets.

OOOH!
Mine is just about ready to be mailed, have some finishing touches to add tonight will post a photo tomorrow!

I didn't have time to work on it until last night!

Debs & Hemi

Love those posted so far! :thumbup:
Happy Halloween everyone!

Mine went in todays mail! Will post pics later!
Debs & Hemi

love your scary post card, i posted mine for nov to encourage others to join, made a springy version for a friend for her bd. mailed mine out on Monday, i'm really getting into this postcard thing, next month will be better thanthis month, and so on... getting new ideas every day. it's fun to add things.
we haven't had a magnet swap in awhile. i really enjoy doing those too.
