Christmas Clue Game 2010



That is the name of the new swap I joined for Christmas. Only 1. I learned my lesson of joining too many due at the same time.

So this clue game is like the one I made Poe and The Raven for. Only Christmas theme. I wanted to have/get some Christmas cards and figured this would be an easy way to get alot of them at once. I dont think im going to play the game this time though like I did with the Literary Theme Clue Game from before.

Im also going to make a Holiday LTC card to give away in a few things im mailing out, including an AQ secret santa swap I am in. And if time im going to carve an image to make Christmas cards, to put in those same mailings. If you want one let me know and I will make you one. :)

Oh, my card for this swap is called Christmas Clue Game 2020: Location: Whoville. Im not really happy with the coloring of the card, my thumbprint on the back, etc.. Haha! But its done and mailed. Not all my work is going to be that great. Im trying to find more detailed images to carve to try and get better at it but I dont believe im getting much bettter than where im at now. But im starting to release some of the pressure I put on myself to be great cause a few cards I put out were exceptionaly good. And I just keep reminding myself of some of the cards I do get and how not as good they are ( that is being nice Haha ).

I havent done a private trade in awhile and if my Christmas turns out good im going to try one again. Or end up waiting until I have a cool card again. :)

Second card for Swap






In an attempt to make sure we all get the complete alphabet I signed up to make another card for the alphabet animal swap. Of course that is still no guarentee. And im not the only one. I can only hope that now we will get a complete set.

It is still in the lines of the H card but my mind was on a roll of collages I guess. Hahaha.

So here is the D card. For Blue Duck.

It's been awhile...Wow.

I guess ive been busy. But I have been working on crafts and stuff. I have Mary's advent done and in a box ready to be mailed. I will be mailing that to Janie and hoping she can deliver.

I also made another card and am almost done with another and have joined a couple more swaps for the next few months AND started my own tracker. I tried once before but only got 3 people so I decided to cancel it and try again at a later date. Which I have not for that them, Sideshow Banners, but I did start another, World of Warcraft. So we will see what happends. If this one doesnt take im giving up hosting my own. If it takes off I will retry the sideshow banner one later 2011 summer.

Im also working on a new contest. I have my fabric, my patterns, and all my supplies to start work on it. I will keep you informed of when that one comes ready.

Winter is here people. UGH!!
