I agree. I don't care how long it takes to receive a trade. It doesn't stop me trading

. Of course it limits a lot of people joining swaps but because I don't do swaps now, it's OK.

I look upon any mail as 'Happy mail' and a lovely surprise.

**Linda4atc** · 10-16-2021, 02:00 PM

Yes I try to be timely in mailing but I don't worry about incoming mail. I don't stress out if I want trading to be Happy mail.

Sounds good...thank you all for the info! Yep, I found my supplies and will try to get some things prepped and ready! I wanted to attempt some mixed media cards but will probably only be able to make hand drawn... hope that's ok with you all? I, personally, love mixed media and hand drawn!!

**sniisk** · 10-18-2021, 08:03 AM

We can start in 48 hours

. Well, I will be working most of time before that...

**CynthiaSillitoe** · 10-18-2021, 11:01 AM

Hip hip hooray!

Sometimes when mail is slow I forget about things. Then it is such a nice surprise when it arrives.

Another song for inspiration:

Purple People Eater
Well I saw the thing comin' out of the sky
It had the one long horn, and one big eye
I commenced to shakin' and I said "Ooh-eee"
It looks like a purple people eater to me
It was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater
(One-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater)
A one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me (one eye?)
Well he came down to earth and he laid in the tree
I said Mr. Purple People Eater, don't eat me
I heard him say in a voice so gruff
"I wouldn't eat you 'cause you're so tough"
It was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater
One-eyed, one-horned flyin' purple people eater
One-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater
Sure looks strange to me (one horn?)
I said Mr. Purple People Eater, what's your line?
And he said, "Eatin' purple people and it sure is fine"
But that's not the reason that I came to land
"I wanna get a job in a rock and roll band"
Well bless my soul, rock and roll, flyin' purple people eater
Pigeon-toed, undergrowed, flyin' purple people eater
(We wear short shorts)
Friendly little people eater
What a sight to see
And then he swung from the tree and he laid on the ground
And he started to rock, really rockin' around
It was a crazy ditty with a swingin' tune
"Sing a bop-bop aboopa-lopa, loom bam-boom"
Well bless my soul, rock and roll, flyin' purple people eater
Pigeon-toed, undergrowed, flyin' purple people eater
"I like short shorts"
Flyin' purple people eater
Quite a sight to see (purple people?)
Well he went on his way, and then what do ya know
I saw him last night on a TV show
He was blowing it out, a-really knockin' em dead
Playin' rock and roll music through the horn in his head

I remember that song! Could be I’m giving away my age!

**Ancient Planter** · 10-18-2021, 08:19 PM

I remember that song, too! And now it's stuck in my head... At least my last song worm has stopped

I'm flying down to my mom's in L.A. the day this ATART begins, but I'm taking my painting stuff with me in my carry-on so I hope to be joining in on this one.

**sniisk** · 10-20-2021, 03:19 AM

I'm still working but I hope to leave in 2.5 hours. Then I need to pick up my daughter and we will drive to our summer house. Yay! I will have free time rest of the week.

Ready to start in 5-6 hours?

**Kimmie** · 10-20-2021, 05:10 AM

Yes, I am ready!

**CynthiaSillitoe** · 10-20-2021, 06:03 AM

Me, too! Well, I probably won't start until a little later, but, yeah, once I get done the "I have to do this before I start athonning" stuff, I'm all in!

**sniisk** · 10-20-2021, 08:52 AM

We have started here in a bit cold summer house. But it's warming up soon.

**Donnacr** · 10-20-2021, 09:58 AM

And, now that it is after midnight here, I bid you all goodnight and happy creating. I look forward to seeing what you make while I am asleep.

Good night Donna!

**chaosatlanta** · 10-20-2021, 11:30 AM

Hello Friends!

Thank you Sanna and Linda for inviting me to play along. It means a lot to me to still be asked, even though I haven't participated in a long time.
I love Halloween! So, I will definitely pop by and enjoy the eye candy. I may try to play a bit - but I'm not sure if I will be able to do any trading.

**KESagers** · 10-20-2021, 11:55 AM

Hi Cheryl! I'm glad you can join us!

Fun cards Donna to get us started!

**sniisk** · 10-20-2021, 12:23 PM

My first cards.

I need to wait to have a bit more sun light tomorrow to take more pics.

**sniisk** · 10-20-2021, 12:24 PM

And my daughter has made some cards too.

**KESagers** · 10-20-2021, 01:22 PM

Wonderful cards Sanna and Hilla! Has your house warmed up?
