Count me in! I'll give you my new address since I moved last Sunday but don't worry I'll still get the cat cards because my sister still lives where I used to live and brings me my mail.

You Know this Addict is in.. I think you still have my Address.. Let me know if you don't and I'll re~send

Done Guys

Me too!!

I just can't help myself!

Well, I must be a glutton for punishment, but I'm in on this one too! I started on a my own mini-theme for it last night.

done ladies

Me too please - with a screen name like mine, I'd better sign up for this one,

you are all set

Please add me, though I think some instruments might be easier to play than to draw. :-)

Marilyn

great marilyn, i am all set with your address too..

Please add me in. I was in the Cat Trade and would like to be part of the
Musical Instruments as well. Thank You, Donna Wesley

great donna, you are all set..have fun

I'd love to join in! The Cats' trade has been a lot of fun! Still, I sent my cats two weeks and no cat of mine swam across the oceans, neither to the USA and Canada, nor to Australia!
Hopefully, my music will be faster.

thank you Sveta, I am sure your lovely cards will arrive to us shortly. I agree the cat trade has been much fun. and i still have your address so you are all set

I'm sure your card will get to me soon I keep going to the mail to see if I received any new ones.

Your atention please: I can officially anounce you all that the first card from Tsvetomira (Sveta) has arrived in Canada today!!! I have received a "Cat reading the newspaper" an incredible, laborious work in ink, that must have taken days to be finished. Sveta it is absolutely fabulous!! Lots of detail and hard work. I will try to scan it at the office before the week end. Thank you very much.

I have also received the sweetest kitty from Roxane (Dolphin paradise) drawn during a "Nap time". Beautifully drawn and really tender. Thank you very much.

And also I have received Ken's superbly drawn "Tiger" with an incredibly fierce expression in its eyes. Really an incredible work. Thank you Ken.

Wow, what a day!!

Claudio

Oooopps, what an idiot! I have re-read the post and I have realized that I have posted in the wrong forum.
Sorry
Claudio

Kay please add me to the musical trade. Thanks.

I can't play any instruments and I don't know if I can draw them, but can I have a go?

Claudio..
Laughing with you not at you .. Simply because not long ago I started a whole new thread accidentally and couldn't even delete it.. Was a Dumb thing too.. All I can say that came from it is.. Several of us had a Long lasting Giggle over the whole deal.. I haven't looked lately .. it may still be there .. Ha !!
Never apologize for making someone Smile !!

No Prob Claudio.. we are all here in this thread too, from the cat trade..

Jeanne I am glad to see you sign up, I know that you are a very busy lady with many other projects going. I still have your address

Norma of course you may join us I am glad to see you here.. I will need your address again..

Sveta, don't worry - I'm a bit out of the way here and some cards take forever to arrive - I know that my cards to Gretchen will take forever and vice versa and I don't know why because Canada and Australia are both Commonwealth countries - a bit bizarre - but there you are. Anyway I am hoping that as I haven't gotten a card for a day or two there will be several in the letterbox tomorrow! But glad to see you in this trade too!

Would someone be interested in hosting the April trade? The theme would be your choice..I am going to be going to the oral surgeon for a consult on the 27 of this month and i guess it would be the beginning of april for them to do their thing and while I will participate it would probably be better if someone else had the responsibility of hosting.
I have no idea what i am going to feel like after, so just throw your hat in the ring to host for april for me if you would, first come, first host

I wouldnt know what to choose lol but I would if I had a good idea

I believe a couple people expressed interest in a bird trade, including myself. What do you think about that?

Kay I was officially not busy for the first time in a long time. I had finished all my projects and finally felt free. That's why I hesitated to join. Plus hubby's work has been slow and he will be having carpal tunnel surgery. He will be home and will see just how much I spend in stamps. He might insist I get a job. OUCH!!! lol

i am glad to see you decide to join, i mean what the heck, it is a great social thing, and i love everyones taking part.

Sveta, here is a lil card i made just for you the picture color is off..the water is not quite that color but i think you get the idea..
perhaps with the fuel prices and cutbacks the postal service had to downgrade from ships to motorboats..i can picture a lil motorboat making its way across a big ocean piled high with mailbags and the top teetering bag containing your card..

Sveta have you gotten our cards to you? You probably said earlier on but just wondering. Can't remember. It's an age thing. lol

I'm already working on my cards. 3 finished and 3 drawn on the cards.

I have one question...
i Live in holland , but i can't draw really good... i'm learning.
it's getting better, but i've seen cards that are really amazing!!!

can i join with the card trades?!?!

of course you can join in the trade..we all start somewhere, and so long as you try you cant go wrong.. so i shall add you to our list..you will need to send me your address

Can I join in to please

you of course most certainly may and we love having you

I thought of an idea but I don't know if its everyone would like it :S its maybe too complex

no thanks ... i wanna wait one challenge...
i'm gonna try if i can make them on time...

Hey animallovertje! Just jump right in when you feel comfortable - we all start somewhere and no-one expects someone who is just starting out to be a Michelangelo! As long as you put your heart in it the cards will be appreciated.

If you look back through some of our trades you will see that people who have joined as newbies to art improve with every trade they join. We all start somewhere and every single one of us felt intimidated when we first joined a trade. So just throw yourself in the deep end and you will find that you really can swim!

ya like i'm no pro either but I still like to participate. It's alot of fun

Roxanne, what is your idea hun, just toss it out there in the ring..

Well i'm at college for tourism and travel and I thought about an idea of travel. More like country and like each card would represent a country. Like say England you'd draw tourism things from England like the big ben and double decker bus like things that represent that country. And for France or something you can draw the eiffel tower, baguette, croissants, cafés. Things like that. I thought it was a good idea but I don't know if anyone would participate to it.

i think it would be a great idea..and you would be surprised at how many others will also think it is a great idea.. what do you think guys?

I think that sounds great, ideas are already beginning to brew in my mind...

thanks all!!

does anybody know how many money it is, to sent a card to the other side of the world?!

i took you off the list but if you change your mind let me know..

it varies, but it doesnt add up to very much.

I think this is a great idea for a trade as well.
I'd be up for this trade.

I'm glad you guys like my idea

Thank you! Thank you so much! It's a beautiful and charming card! I am really touched!

With the bunch that I got on the day before yesterday, I've got 7 lovely cards by Sue(Bigs), Kay(Oliverandjazz), Len,
Cathy, Mindy, Kim and Gretchen(Frithy).
I have what to look forward to!

It will be very easy for me to participate. I would just send you plain white cards representing the most important touristic attraction in Quebec : snow!

Sorry, just joking. I couldn't avoid it. May be the winter is getting longer and I miss the sun .....

Claudio

I know what you mean Claudio. I'm tired of all this snow. I'm from Ontario and we have alot of snow too and it's still cold!
