Altered Paintbrush Swap – Due May 14

[catladybj]

WooHoo!!!
I finally actually got some pictures uploaded to my gallery.!!! The pictures, after being cropped and compressed are a bit blurry, and they don't look that great, but I promise they are looking better in person than they are in my pictures. Tried to upload to the thread but I couldn't manage that. You'd never believe I used to work with computers, would you?! Use it or lose it!

Hello artsy queens! All returns are boxed, shipping/tracking labels printed and ready to go! They will be sent out Thursday afternoon, 5/19.

I'm going to privately inbox each of you with tracking info. Please make sure to post out here when they arrive. Thank you!

[Miss Fame]

UPDATE

All packages have been mailed. I have sent everyone's tracking info through messenger. I hope you all love the returns!

[Miss Fame]

Hope everyone received their returns.

Just received my returns - so fun and exciting! Much deserved reps will be going out to Nanner, Arc2dreams, and catladybj. Miss Fame, what wonderful packaging, and little extras, thanks for all the special effort!

[Miss Fame]

Thank you queen CiCi! Appreciate the feedback and update. Hugs!

[Laffqueen]

What a treat to get that glittery box of goodness today. Miss Fame you outdid yourself. Fantastic SWAP and amazing host. Leaving reps for nanner, theweavershand and CiCICreates. Ladies I love them!

[nanner]

Huge shout-out to our hostess! The package is so pretty, I had to check the calendar to see if it was my birthday!

Thanks to all, and extra to our fabulous Hostess! I'm off to leave rep's for fab art received from Miss Fame, weavergirl and chimerex!

[catladybj]

My wonderful paint brushes are in! Thank you for a wonderful swap!
I can't name names right now because I'm laying in bed and my paint brushes are in the other room! But I will get my I-traders done ASAP.

[Miss Fame]

Thank you ladies!!! I'm enjoying the feedback and PM's! It was an honor hosting this fantastic swap! Each of you created amazing work!!

[nanner]

I rec'd rep from 1 of 3 of the folks that received my brushes...which is sadly the usual, but even more "meh" because our dear hostess mentioned who received the art in her fab note. Regardless, I have left all of my rep's, and definitely the iTrader. Swap well done, dear Fame.

How can folks NOT send a “you rock” when you went to the trouble of making something for them? They don’t even have to fill it out, just push the dang button.

[CiCiCreates]

Same here, Nan. One rep posted, leaving you to wonder, didn’t they like it? Mail Art is usually dimensional, and a lot more work than a regular ATC.

[nanner]

Agreed. Thanks for letting me have a vent. To me, rep points are a sign of respect, and a kind way to honor our art creation and trading. Even if the returns aren't someone's cup of tea, it's polite to say thank you. It only takes a few moments, and it has such a big impact. I'm sure missing rep's are sometimes honest oversights...but it's so rare to get feedback from everyone who receives your art. Ah, well. I'm off to leave extra rep's just because!

[Miss Fame]

Thank you, ladies, for the feedback. I too have not received feedback from all of the participants. That is why I try to include a special note for each artist, letting everyone know whose art went where.

Tracking was included on every package, and I verified they were delivered. I am going to send pm's to verify there were no issues.

[Laffqueen]

I have not received any feedback..not one! My paintbrushes were created with creativity and attention to detail. But sadly,y it seems to be a trend with many SWAPs that “you rocks” are frequently not acknowledged. I loved this swap and I hope the recipients were pleased too

[Miss Fame]

Miss LaffQueen, your brushes are very pretty indeed! You put a lot of love into creating them, it was obvious. I feel horrible that you have not received feedback.


Some players have been busy moving and traveling. Hopefully all will return and give some positive feedback very soon.

I'm sorry for the delay in my leaving rep points. End of the school year blahs.....
