The sign up period is officially closed. I'm gathering addresses and as soon as I get shadow's I'll pm everyone with the list. Counting me there are 10 people in the trade, a good managable number, so everyone gets to draw 9 monsters.
You will all be hearing from me shortly!

I will get onto the last card - have 8 done now so just have to think of one more creepy thing........hmmmmmmmmm.........perhaps a spider ...........I have done a redback before perhaps I will have to do the most feared funnel-web (if I can that is).
so here are the cards so far - I have had a ball doing these. The Mummy was supposed to be reaching out to grab you, but I think he looks like he's waving (must be friendlier than I thought!

Outstanding job Sue! I think the mummy is plenty scary! You have done such wonderfully creepy and spooky cards! I guess I had better get on the stick, I have 5 more to go. I'll probably be sending out the addresses tomorrow - you guys don't give up on me!

Anyone but the clown please omg it's too scary lol I do like bats though or the one with the scarecrow and the bat.
bigs
Oct 26 2009, 07:57 AM
The bats are yours then Roxy!
I did think that there might be folk who don't like clowns so I thought if I ask then I wouldn't send him to the wrong house. I agree he turnes out creepier than even I thought and all I really did was exagerate the mouth pop in some pointy teeth and fiddle with the eyes - amazing how quick they go from a happy figure to something icky!

I've heard that lots of people are scared of Clowns - I wonder why? Maybe it's like you said Sue - they can go from funny to creepy very quickly. I don't have a preference on your cards - however my husband said to ask for the witch - since he doesn't have a good picture of me. Ha ha ha he is so funny.

I'm not usually scared of clowns but that one is just really scary. The clown in the movie Zombieland was pretty scary too actually lol

Oct 27 2009, 12:22 AM
I am terribly sorry Mindy - I posted from work and things were Just A Little Weird there today and I didn't get enough coffee

. I also managed to leave dolphin-paradise off the lists (Roxy I apologize for that too), and then I send Frithy her own address (after I left mine off). Really - I'm getting better at this....
I'll get those to you first thing in the morning (since I left my address list at work too).
Did I goof on anyone else? I'm sorry!

I'll get it worked out in the morning.

That's quite all right! Sounds like you've got a lot on your plate, with work and all. Don't stress, it'll all be ok...
bigs

Deep breath Sandra............that's much better!
I always find it easier to send the same list to everyone - let them cross themselves off - much less fiddling about for you, you have enough to do with only being able to send one PM at a time on Drawspace.
Oh and I think I may have to send you the clown as Jeanne suggests ha ha ha!
ncgirl
Oct 27 2009, 12:38 PM
Ha! The clown could go out as his picture on Facebook!
Ok, as soon as I put my purse down and get some coffee, I'll get the addresses out to those I forgot. If you saw everybody else's address on your list, but not yours, it's because I left off the address of the person I was sending the list to. Otherwise, pm me if I forgot you!
Sue thanks for the support - next time I'll do as you suggested and just send out the same list. It would be easier if we could send pm's out to a group of people.
Did I forget anyone else??

Oct 27 2009, 01:03 PM
oh that's what you did I thought you had send a list with everyone's name on it. Then i'm all good then because my name was missing on it

lol that is too cute! Just letting you know I got the PM this time, thanks. I've got three ATC's done, more on the lines of Stephen King and old movie monsters...
ncgirl
Oct 28 2009, 08:29 PM
Thanks! I went with the cutesy monsters - could use all my favorite colors that way.
I loved Stephen King when I was younger - my friend and I would wait eagerly for his latest book and then take turns reading it (she would read one day, I would read the next).
One more card to post and then I'm going home to wash the dog!

Cheri, great imagination !!! You have some crazy monsters there - just what kids would dream up late at night!
Cathy I love your monster under the bed - I used to love playing monsters or sharks (we were either on islands surrounded by shark infested waters or a floor full of monsters) and you had to walk on the furniture or you'd be eaten by the sharks or monsters!
And Sandra I love your cutsey monsters - they would make great side-show alley stuffed animal prizes! (Oh and your monster has great taste - I love the Australian Dancing with the Stars!)

Yes I feel so much better today, didn't get a chance to do any today though because it was my one year anniversary with my boyfriend so we went out to eat. Unfortunuately his mom kinda ruined our night because we asked her for the car like last week and she decided today she was going to her karate so we had to bus to the restaurant again... it happened on my birthday too.
And to answer your question yes I do get migraines alot it really sucks. I had this headache for 3 days this morning I went to by tylenols for migraine and it left when I was at work so i'm pretty happy about that. I can't really concentrate on much when I have migraines. I sometimes end up being sick because of them
ncgirl
Oct 31 2009, 01:39 AM
Well Roxy I'm glad you are feeling better - sorry things didn't go well with your anniversary, but sometimes a little problem like you had can be something you two can look back on later with fondness and laughter. My husband and I spent one Thanksgiving snowed in at a tiny hotel in the middle of Iowa eating turkey sandwiches and watching a very fuzzy tv. We still laugh about it as our "elegant" Thanksgiving.
Sue - I have to confess I'm getting hooked on Dancing With The Stars. Donny Osmond is one of the celebs and I was so in love with him when I was 10 years old.

I am just blown away by everyone's talent here - this is really a lively and fun trade!
My first monster from Cheri arrived today! He is cute!! (in a monster sort of way
