I sent out 13 hand-stitched cards to the following lovely, lovely people:

1. altariel

3. badly_knitted
4. elmey
5. ideealisme
6. disthrainsdotte
7. sammydragoncat
8. solanpolarn
9. songfire3
10.red_day_dawning
11.lhun_dweller
12.lindahoyland
13.rcfinch

The cards of the following lovely people have already arrived:
1. solanpolarn
2. red_day_dawning
3. badly_knitted
4. lindahoyland
5. songfire3

I also got an interesting SGA novel from red_day_dawning, titled "Blood Ties". An intelligently written story, with respect for canon, which is not always the case with officially published novels.

This entry will be updated whenever new cards arrive. :)

Yay! That's the third card I've sent that's arrived safely! That's pretty fast, I only posted them on Friday!

I'll let you know when the one from you arrives! *hugs*

My pupils were very impressed by the silver reindeer on your card. :)

It's all a cheat because they're peel-off stickers for cardmaking, lol! The hard part is making sure they don't get tangled as you stick them where you want them! I've got things stuck to my hands so many times.

Oh, I know! My Merry Christmas stickers always end up rather... wavy, or in a bizarre arch. ;)

can you get scotch tape where you are? It's like sellotape but looks cloudy until you stick it to something. It's great for transferring stickers to cards. Stick it over the sticker you want to use, peel it off with the sticker attached, stick it down where you want the sticker, rub over the sticker to make sure it stays put, then peel the tape away. You have to be a bit careful with some types of card because the tape sometimes damages the surface of textured card, but it's usually fine on smooth card. I usually stick the tape to a bit of fabric before using it, so it's not quite as sticky. It keeps stickers straight, al;though obviously it's not so easy to use with big stickers it's great for the greetings ones. Don't try with ordinary sellotape.

Let me know if you can't get scotch tape I'll send you some. You can re-use each bit several times before it's not sticky enough to lift the stickers so one roll lasts forever.

Oh that is so kind of you, thank you! When I saw my handle in your entry I fretted because I didn't see the card post, so have sent nothing in return, Christmas has kinda gone out the window this year :/

I look forward now to my delicate cargo from Hungary. What a lovely thought. Thank you.

You don't have to send me anything in return. I just remembered that last year you wanted one and I thought you'd like one this year, too.

I'm afraid I'll be doing only online cards this year. Watch your inbox!

Thanks for the warning! I'd hate to miss it.
