ALPHA-2b...ATC swap

Black hole occurred to me during the night as I was drifting off to sleep, obsessed, no, not at all LOL
That's that little mystery solved then, clever one that.

awww something to look forward to ! what a cheerful shot Nona!

Oooohhh - pinky post

Alphas in my pinky - Stephs Bedtime, Rachaels Battery Hen and Joys Butterflies. Lovely lot!

I received swaps from - helen, kim and sue
Lovely work

mine arrived today lovely atc's from rachel,barbara and kim
thank you

Mine came too. I have a beautiful; bedtime, bicycle and beach one. Thanks Maria, Nona and Steph, lots of lovely details on these, sandpaper, shrink plastic binoculars and fimo, terrific.

Nona, I think we have got the last use out of that pinky LOL but the stamp wasn't franked, so I can use that again instead, hehehe. If we only get 2 uses out of each one that saves half the number of pinky's used; a tiny bit less landfill too.

Love it thriftycrafter we crafters are much more efficiant than the P.O. as some one else had a freebee too, I seem to remember it was Joy.
I think PINKYs confuse the franking machines. What a shame.

You sent me my pinky back wih no postmark. I get an entry form pack for my competitions and that
is often unfranked.

Meant to say, I got a Nona bicycle, Maria's beach and Karelyn's
Bag and beads. All three are fabulous so thank you all.

I rather like the idea of it beign called 'marias beach' glad you liked it steph.

Mine have arrived I got Helen's Black hole, Joy's Flutterbys and Cynthia's Bunting. All brilliant thank you

It seems that all of you have received your PINKYs now.
So, I am going to ask if those of you who were lucky enough to get one of Stephs beautiful Fimos received them intact.
The reason being is that when I received them from Steph, her No. 1 was broken. The Teddy had lost its foot so I superglued it back on.
I think they were slightly too thick for ATCs but would make super toppers.

However I have just had a nice long natter with Steph, and this morning at 'Fuller' I have also Spoken to Susan who made the Fimo Shamrock (in the W.I.S.E. Ireland swap ) as that was also was almost too thick for an ATC.

I also met a new young person at ‘Fuller’ this morning and I think we will have a new ATCer for Novembers themes. Her name is Jamie, and I said young because most of us there are retired.

It was lovely to have a chat Nona.
I knew my bedtime ATCs were a little big, so I will try and keep them
on the slimmer side in future.
Will be nice to have another 'swapper' if Jamie joins.

still waiting for my pinky.....

I got mine today. I had a basque, BBQ and balloon. Thank you all very much.

I got a bedtime ATC and one teddy leg had popped off, but was undamaged so I just glued it back on, looks fine.
I've just made some fimo bits for my next letter, they're a bit slimmer though and not at all delicate!

got mine today too , i got
a basque
a beach one and
a bunting one , that one looks soo different in real life , looks much nicer than in the photo

My teddy lost one of his paws, but easily stuck back.

Got my lovley pinky today. very lucky as I got one of Stephs (so my alphabet is looking great so far) and one of Nonas, which i coveted. Also one of dawns, also lovely -

all very nice thankyou.

yes the paws had come off mine too but will superglue them back easily.

Thankyou so much Steph for making them and Nona for sending them
