Re: Fall/Thanksgiving Card Swap - SIGN-UP IS NOW CLOSED
I received Monica's lovely card yesterday. I now have all of them. Does everybody have them all? If so, I'll post a picture so everyone can see these beautiful fall cards.

Yes, I have them all too. Thank you so much everyone, I'm getting ready for a craft show in 2 weeks and time is definitely getting away from me. But I'm getting lots off inspiration from all the beautiful cards.

Glad they are all arriving! I was going to go pitch a fit at the PO... Mine are at work taped up on the filing cabinet in my office, but I forgot to take a picture before leaving work. Will try to remember Monday.

Monica's arrived today!
Mine for Pam P. was returned but I'll send it back to her so theoretically we must all have them. I'll post a photo tomorrow.

Mine for Debi got returned! It’s back on it’s way again Debi...you should hopefully get it just before Thanksgiving. Rats. And I had them all checked by the PO for postage and size. Doh!
I got Monica’s gorgeous card today.

Re: Fall/Thanksgiving Card Swap - SIGN-UP IS NOW CLOSED
So, now that you've hopefully all received my cards, I have a story to tell. Once upon a time... about 20 years ago... Ranger made the Adirondack line of inks, which included 9 different rainbow pads. And I had them all. Somewhere in the last decade, probably during another reorganization of my space, the rainbow ones vanished. And I had the perfect card idea for this swap!
So I went online to hunt down the empty felt pads Ranger sells that you can use to create your own rainbow pads. Yes, I have reinkers for all mine too. That's something I was very obsessive about when I was using them daily. Joann had them in stock, but I had to wait on their SLOW shipping to get them.
And by the way, I should mention that Ranger's customer service people are fabulous. Because I emailed and asked for the inks to one of the 9 pads, and they sent me the list for all nine! Yes, I'm recreating all of them...
The TH stamp positioner got a workout making those cards, and that's another tool I am so very glad I bought. I have a couple of the other ones... not the MISTI... but the TH one is hands down the easiest and nicest to use.
So there's my story... and that's why they were later than everyone else!

Re: Fall/Thanksgiving Card Swap - SIGN-UP IS NOW CLOSED
Wow, Monica, that is quite a story of determination. Good luck with your rainbow pads and keep using them! The rainbow pads I had were the ones that you pulled the little pads apart so they wouldn't all blend together. I don't know how they did it but they still all blended together.
