My Cards are finished and will be in the post this week. I'm not good at getting cards into threads so I have posted in the card gallery if anyone wants to take a peep. thanks for including me in a great swap and I learned about a young man I hadn't heard of before.

[messmaker]

I am so seriously thrilled with the cards coming in for this swap. They all look amazing! I'm going to take a photo of them all together so you can see how glorious they all are.

[catpratt]

Here are my cards. They hit the mail tomorrow morning. I hope they are there waiting for you Sal when you return!
This was really fun, his style is so free and loose, at least that's how it felt to me. None of this teeny perfect detail stuff, love that! Cats, I went with a cat theme, hope you all like them.

[mlydon]

catpratt, those are WAY cool!! I loved working in his style for the very same reasons - so freeing!

[catpratt]

I know, seems like everyone is having fun with them. I'd love to go big, use the same media he did, do it up!

[mlydon]

you should! You could always list them in your Etsy store..

[DADAology]

Mine went postal yesterday for both swaps.

[Amerasu]

All cards are in except for catpratt's Basquiat beauties. They're taking the long route but that's ok since we're ahead of schedule on this one :)

[Amerasu]

catpratt's cards came in yeaterday's mail so all are in! I will swap out this weekend :)

[Amerasu]

So sorry everyone. I've been under the weather and beat this past week. Give me another day or two and I'll get them out before the grace period is over. :)

[catpratt]

No worries, at least not from me. Sorry you're not feeling well. Get better soon:)

[Amerasu]

Thanks Cat :)

Bugs start as soon as school does. It's going around the house LOL.

[catpratt]

The bugs are going around our entire state...yep, the minute school starts again everyone gets something.

[Janet]

Aww Sal, hope you feel better soon. We have bugs in our house too, no kids, just hubby :)

[Amerasu]

Cards are sorted and now out in today's mail. Thanks everyone! :) :)

[Janet]

Got mine!!! I really enjoyed this swap. I have since made two small canvases for my son as he liked them too.
Thanks again Sal for letting me play.
