PM, I hope you can post pics of your framed return cards, when that happens, and also tell us your sister’s reaction on receiving it. This was a great idea and lots of fun!

[mrubyjean]

Mine are done - will post pics and mail tomorrow.

[mrubyjean]

Here they are, hope they are not too irreverent.
Since it was the dog set, I included a dog in every card.
Mailing today.

I LOVE this idea!! So hate that I missed the swap but it sounds like fun. I played with paper dolls a lot as a little girl and I think this is a tremendous way to use the ones you (and your sister) have hung on to.

Great cards Martha! Can't wait to see them! I've been so focused on cleaning up threads i missed that you posted way back on the 8th.

[pancake machine]

Thanks topshelf43. I've loved all the creativity of this swap and can't wait to share with my sister.

Cici- I will try and leave the swap open so I can post the final picture.

I have to take my daughter back to school on Saturday, so my hope will be to get cards in the mail by Monday. Thats the goal at least.

mrubyjean - your cards arrived lightening fast! And what a great set.

Really, everyone just rocked this. What a lovely little swap! My spouse even commented that we should look for more paper dolls given the quality of the art coming in.

Well given the speed, this may just change my calculus on when I get them out. Hopefully I can carve out either Tuesday or Thursday night to sort. Will keep the thread updated as to when they go out.

Cards are in the mail! Reminder to leave itrader for me, and leave a "you rock" for artists you get cards from. Thanks so much for participating!

I will leave the swap active and will post the image of the collected cards framed for my sister.

[RaineyDay]

Awesome swap and returns! I can't wait to see the project you put together for your sister!

I just took it to the frame shop. They said they'll have it done on the 12th. I think it will be really cool. Thanks to all the great work that folks put in!

[JavaZarf]

Itrader and you rocks have been given.
