Re: Cards for charity. Round 3. (TOF's).
Busy_B, I'll let you know as soon as it all arrives.
Wendy, would it be ok to take a picture of your cards to show, seeing as you weren't able to?
Mabel, the 'seaweed' is part of a pack that Agi sent me of different materials to embellish projects with. I just felt that with the twisting nature of it and the way the fluff made it look all floaty, that it might hopefully give the impression of seaweed. I wonder if I should have put more on though, of different sizes. I always step back at projects and find changes I could have made to improve things.

It's a great use of different materials
I know what you mean about standing back and seeing things you would like to have done differently, but I think we can sometimes be too critical of our work, and this card just looks wonderful!

Re: Cards for charity. Round 3. (TOF's).
Another 5 cards arrived today. Cockneystitchers selection, and they're all fab!
Thanks so much Julie! and a really big thank you for the chocolate in with them as well!
I know we still have some cards on the way as well, so I think we're going to have an amazing final total!

Re: Cards for charity. Round 3. (TOF's).
More cards arrived today from Busy_B.
They're gorgeous. Thank you Barb.
I was so excited to get the present with them for my 10,000th post as well. I really love it loads, wonderful colours and great fabric as well. Thanks so much Barb!
Still some cards to arrive yet! Aren't we doing great? I'm absolutely blown away by how successful and well supported this round has been.

The response has certainly set a high bar for any to follow, that's for sure.

Once they all arrive safely I'll take a big group picture of them all together ... I'll be getting the wide angle lense out of course!Serinde wrote: Can't wait for a PHOTO...

Re: Cards for charity. Round 3. (TOF's).
Yes we had a deadline of the beginning of July Rose. So there are just a few more on their way. Oh, and I must get a decent picture of Wendy's lovely cards as well.
Once everyones cards have arrived I'll get the group photo sorted out.

Re: Cards for charity. Round 3. (TOF's).
The offer still stands if you need any more because I have a few cards made up and my right hand (good old OH) can pop them in the post to you.

Re: Cards for charity. Round 3. (TOF's).
Oh Rosemary, thank you ! I'll let you know for sure once I have the final total, as to be honest, I lost count!
I just got Jilly's cards yesterday ~ which are gorgeous! Blackwork ducks and silly cows!
I think there is still one more person sending, which I'll check on, but then I think we have them all and I can count up and give you final totals!!!
I think we have a BIG one!

Re: Cards for charity. Round 3. (TOF's).
Ok, so the final batch of cards have arrived today. A wonderful selection.
We're busy painting the house at the moment, so I haven't had chance to get the pictures yet, but hopefully I'll get them up tomorrow for you all!
It's a MASSIVE amount!
I've counted once, but am so stunned by the total I think I'd better count again to clarify! So I THINK but I am going to recount this evening to be 100% sure that we have a wopping
89
cards here! Isn't that WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
