texaslady-59
I am so very excited .. I now have 4 more cats to post ..

Dolphin-Paradise,Roxy... Oliver and CompanyJust precious ,and am so thrilled that it finally got to Texas.. I just love the watercolor with ink .. The Ink makes the colors more vibrant..


Claudio... Sylvester ..My favorite Cartoon Cat .. I have one that I keep in my Clip File and he is animated and holding a Red Rose.. Blinks his eyes and looks a little shy.. We all know he's a Raschal.. Thanks Claudio Big Bunches..!!


Donna.... Your card didn't have a title.. Love it so much that I named it "Learning to walk In Pink Tennis Shoes".. another soft watercolor and ink ..

Marilyn.. Golly I hope I read the title right .. Thumbics? or was it Thumbies..?? Eyes are getting old when it comes to fine lettering.. ..Beautiful Calico in watercolor and ink.. Love the way you frame the subject out and leave just enough of the cat to finish out the frame..
enjoy everyone .. I know I am going to..

Wow the kitties are really arriving now!!

Such great work - so many different styles and methods of creating them! That is why I love trades so much.........lots to learn from every card that lands here!!

Oh and Mindy - happy belated birthday!!! Its all down hill after 30 you know ohmy.gif laugh.gif tongue.gif (sorry - just couldn't resist) oh to be in my twenties again! But I'd want to know what I know now!!
paulette4
I hope you had a great birthday Mindy!

I think this is the fastest my cards have ever started arriving.
I have 11 cards in my possession, I am going to post them all together, but it probably won't be until after our March break next week.

All the cards are looking amazing!!!! So much creativity!

Hi Carol, Sorry about my handwriting! The name of the cat is "Thumbies," named for her extra thumbs. She was an actual cat, our amusing companion for 17 years. Marilyn

I should have known ..Thumbies makes perfect sense now.. I mean what would Thumbics have to do with a cat.. How amusing to have a cat with extra thumbs .. Great Story Marilyn..
P.S. your handwriting was not bad at all ... these old eyes I think have a lot to do with it.. Oh to be 28 like Mindy and write as small as she does..

You guys are too funny. laugh.gif Thanks for the b-day wishes, Sue & Paula. My husband gave me a handful of money (guess he felt guilty for not being here) to get a nice belated present of my choosing, and guess what I bought. Some 2B refill leads for my .5mm pencil and a book "Drawing the Head & Figure" by Jack Hamm. wink.gif

I think my cat collection is almost complete, just waiting on one more from Sveta (don't worry, Sveta, I'm sure it will find its way here soon!) Thanks again to everyone for adding a few more colorful pages to my ATC album.

YAY it arrived, my final card, all the way from Bulgaria... "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" Thank you dear Sveta, I love this cute roller-skating cat.

I have got new cats - very nice all of them!

Thanks to Paulette and Jim Kovalsky for the brilliantly designed and preformed(very stylish) card and all the extra cats on and in the envelope!
Thanks to Roxanne for drawing such a nice Marie(Aristocrats)
A Gorgeous Tiger 'Face OFF' by Coach(Kenneth)
A beuatiful technique and drawing in "Grey Kitty" by Marilyn
(I am afraid in the address list I hadn't her real name but her nickname, so you shouldn't be surprised to receive a card for Marison Cello)
Great Cat Character by Gilbert! Great expression!
And a very skillfully drawn Cruel Cat playing with a mouse by Donna Wesley.
THANK YOU ALL!
Looking forward for the next bunch
Yours,
Sveta

I still have a couple to receive and then I will post them as they are in my journal. Once I get them, and post them, I want to encourage all that have participated here to join in on my next class/thread called SCULPTURAL BOOKMAKING II. This bookmaking class/thread will cover a LAYERED BOOK and is tons of fun to make. I will refer to the first SCULPTURAL BOOKMAKING thread for a couple of items, so if you are planning on joining in, you might want to preview that thread.

I just love all my new kitties and thank you so much everyone!

It's such a pleasure looking to all these funny, mysterious, beautiful, crazy cats! You've got a great collection, Bigs! I was planning to finish my Music cards so that they can reach you earlier...But I am lagging behind, I am afraid. Too much work and a small cold ruined my plans. Still, it's nice to keep the 'cards' excitement' longer. I have four cats more to arrive and when passing by my mailbox, I am like a child.
oliverandjazz
WOW..those are all just great..there are still kitties yet to be rec'd?
Sveta still awaits 4
Kim, my lost one never did show up? i put another one to replace it in the mail today for you..i wanted to do it sooner but i fell so ill.
Who else is still awaiting kitties?
kim1963

foutfolk
I got one in the mail today and am awaiting one more to complete my set. I am also starting the thread on BOOKMAKING this next week. Hope you all can join.

On a side note, I sold another item at my online etsy store. The second item since I started the site! If any of you know friends who like to purchase handmade items, put in a word for my online account.

Thanks, garth

Hey gang,
Just got back in town. I did receive all my trades.
Thank You to Everyone for the great artwork you shared with me.
The variety in this set is wonderful.
I look forward to future trades.
With Spring arriving, that means baseball is here and my days are filled with coaching.
Just completed training in Florida. Upcoming trips to Ohio, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Canada.
I should be around once in awhile to share my artwork and to spy on your galleries.

Thanks Again
Ken "CoachKWL"
