And just for some humor....

My cat, Joy, wouldn't stay out of the box. I had to shoo her out of it two or three times while I was unpacking it. She was happy when I finally turned it over to her!

After Joy left, Solstice had her turn. Two out of three cats approve! I think your cat trap (or guard-beast trap as Arkani called them) was a hit, Kuja!

I'm really glad you like the Ghostbusters sampler! It was a challenge to design but also really fun. The friends who helped gave me a broad hint that they want one too. But since I want you to have something unique theirs will be different. The frame makes it really epic - I realized AFTER I framed it I didn't center the pattern that well vertically... d'oh! You can fix it if you want.

I drew it out beforehand on paper then drew the most basic outlines in chalk on the felt. This is the first time I've done something like this without an iron-on outline of everything/drawing the complete design on the fabric.

Such a failed dragon, but he had such a stupid face I decided to send him anyway, now I'm glad I did!

I've been wanting to use that fabric for something special for a long time!
looking at all of this laid out I realize I may have gone a bit over board... but I kept wanting to make things and heck, that's why it's MEGA! And because there was this amount I was able to provid the perrrfect cat-bait lol

It is amazing! I love it! Thank you so much! I am in awe of your talent :shock:

I have the perfect place for it :)

awesome swap gift.jpg

(It totally was me, but I left for school and forgot to fill out a card, so I'm really sorry about that :good: ) I'm really glad you like it! And I might be even happier that you actually have a place to put it XD Also, because I worried that the painting wasn't enough for a mega swap gift, you may be getting a few other little things around Christmas. I had some smaller things that I had been working on as extras, but I didn't get a chance to finish before I left, but when I get home for Christmas, I'll have the chance to get them out! Think of it as a, uh, spaced out gift set!

I did a little detective work to figure it out :) I will try to take a picture of the painting in its new home. It is definitely enough for a swap gift :grin: No need to send anything else, but if you do I am sure they will be fabulous too.

I love the painting and am in awe of your talent as a painter. I was not blessed with that talent and am always a little envious (in a good way) of those who can do so :nod (I have a sister who can paint and I remember loving to sit and watch her)
I think so, Brain, but can the gummi worms really live in peace with the marshmallow chicks?
I think so, Brain, but if they called them "sad meals" nobody would buy them.

I felt the same. I love participating both to send people things and to receive. It's always a pleasure to be a part of this!
