Challenge Hunt ATART on April 22-25

[Spirit Soul]

Thanks for hosting again, Sanna, and thanks to all our participants! Evalila and Karr311, WOW! It never dawned on me that anyone would complete all the tasks. Now we can all take the next week or two to clean our art spaces! It will be fun checking the mailbox...

Thank you for an amazing challenge! I made so many great trades. I love getting and sending mail, so this part really makes me happy.

Thank you for all the nice comments on my cards! The challenge really pushed me out of my comfort zone, although I did put in 2 doodle-y cats :-)

Sniisk - thank you for hosting!!!

Most of my trades are already on their way, except for 3 envelopes.

Now on to the next challenge - cleaning my craft room. It looks as if a bomb has exploded in there (as we say in Germany).

I was able to get Chemo Monday. My blood levels went up high enough for it to be safe. So I am fine, much better since they 1/2 my dose of chemo to prevent the damage to my bone marrow and blood production.

I will mail my cards when I fell better. It might not be this week, we will see how I feel when the steroids and anti-nausea meds wear off on Wednesday. I can get confused mentally about addresses and words when I am in a bad place. I don't want to make a error.

IF you are doing a trade with me and want to add another card there is still time.

CQ - so impressed by how strong you are. I always like it when I see your art posted and I think it's just amazing that you can be so expressive artistically even though you have days when you may not feel very well. You got this - rock on!!!!!

[sniisk]

I will seal my envelopes now. They will be in the mail tomorrow morning.

CQ - so glad you were able to have your chemo again. Hope you are not feeling too bad when the steroids and anti-nausea meds wear off. I agree with KEsagers - you are AMAZING!!

Mailing my trades today.

This challenge did help me get back into my craft room. I was so tired most days and sat on the couch and read books. Maybe did a load of laundry, cause that is easy. drop in add soap. the machine does the work.

It is day two of round2 and I feel way better than Day 2 of round 1. I think lowering the dose was a good idea. They could see it in the blood work that it was too harsh.

One of the things I had written was that I missed my friend's craft room. She is headed here to pick me up and take me to her new house and NEW Craft room. I am sure it is still pink with unicorns, but it will be interesting to see.

To my surprise I have been organized and got my trades in the mail today. This is not normal for me!

My cards all went in the mail today.

[Donnacr]

All my trades, except mrubyjean's, went in the mail today.

CastleQueen5 - so glad to hear that they have listened to your body and reduced the dose to something that you can cope with. No good killing you to cure you. . . You made some really beautiful cards and I am so glad to have traded for some of them. There is no problem with you waiting until you can think clearly before you send them - I have no idea what Australia Post will be doing by then. Today I received cards from VickiZ that took 3 weeks to reach me but only a week ago I received cards from suzi that took 6 MONTHS

Ok, my last trades are going in the mail today. I know I always say this (it's a tradition) but I really want an assistant to do the non-creative stuff.

Thanks again, Sanna!

[Lorna]

Thank you sniisk for all your hard work and to all who participated. What a fun time!!!!!!!!!

My trades finally went to the Post Office yesterday. I was afraid to make an extra trip out since the check engine light came on. So I had to get to my mechanic friend before anyplace else...it is fine...I did the same thing in the fall...I will probably do it again...

[CastleQueen5]

I mailed today. I have two envelopes that needs special attention, but look in you mailboxes soon.

[Alessandra]

Hi friends! I wish I could have been part of this ATART, but things did not work out like I planned. Please be safe, we will be trading soon!

[Lorna]

Just so everyone knows...my life went a little sideways...but I am getting back on track. In the process, I put all my trades in a box for safekeeping and thought I gave iTraders as they came in...I found I did not when I went to add my trade from a far away land. Anyway, I'll get caught up momentarily.
