Dictionary Words, D, E and F ~ Hand-drawn/Hand-Painted/Mixed Media ~ Due Jun 14

Mail call! I have fun cards from Vegan4animals! She posted a photo, but her words are Disagree, Dirigible, Extinct (pleeeease...not the elephant! Or anything else, for that matter!) and Friend (so sweet!)



Sorry to all for not being overly active right now - one of my cats is sick with some mystery condition, so I've been spending more time watching and monitoring him. I am still here, though!

Sounds like fun, can you add me to this swap? :)
I'll be doing HD/HP.
(Just posting this on here so it adds to my swap lists, I'll let you know when they're mailed! :) )
 
Welcome, Onaki and Mrs Alderman! The more the merrier!

Onaki - at this moment I think I only have one other person who also did HD/HP. If I end up not getting more HD/HP players will you be okay with collaged returns? I am going to try and so some HD/HP cards too, but I am not sure if I will have enough time.
 
I need to use your host brain!

When to you anticipate the next letters due to you. GHI? I am going away to see my mom for part of the summer. Part??!?! I am going to be gone more than a month. I won't be taking any paper craft supplies. Just a crochet hook.
 
Good question, CQ. I was thinking of starting it 15 May. It's taking so long to do these swaps that at this rate it'll take YEARS to complete, so I was thinking of opening a new one each month. The closeout date (so far) is the standard 3-months. So...roughly, they'll be due sometime in August. Will that work for you?

Just wanted to clarify that my "extinct" card features a woolly mammoth rather than an elephant. It might be hard to tell in such a small image! Although elephants may not be far behind on the extinct list, sadly...

I will get the next set done early, since I will be gone end of July to SEpt 1st.

OK, here are my three (four) cards.

After some browsing through the dictionary, I've gone with

*dickens (slag for the devil - as in "What the dickens is she thinking of with this card?") - and of course I've added Dickens :)

*dormer - this one will probably have to be the host card because I shaped it like a house and the rules ask for rectangular cards. I couldn't resist, though, with that word

*eye - fairly self-explanatory

*fire/fireman (both are on the page)

I'll get them in the mail early next week.
 
Awesome cards, Katelnorth! Thank for the host card - I actually don't have any house-shaped cards, so I love it!

Your D card made me wonder where we got the term 'dickens' from, so I looked it up. Apparently it's from the Shakespeare play Merry Wives of Windsor. And we still use it the way he did. Pretty cool, I think!
 
so Charles Dickens was a devil? interesting. Ok so I really didnt "know" that dickens means that. I guess I thought it meant something close. Beats the dickens out of me! kind of thing. So interesting.

I like your house card.
 
Mail Call! I am a bit late in updating, but I received wonderful cards from:
--Laydab (HD/HP and collaged): Duckbill, Emu and Formidable.
--Katelnorth: Dickens, Eye and Fireman.

Great cards, everyone!
 
Sorry for the delays - we had an unexpectedly busy weekend. Whew!
Awesome cards, Mrs.Aldarman! I will get you added to the list. Do you need my address?
