TICKLE A TEAPOTTER

MMTPT544 / December 2018

PARTICIPATING STAMPERS!

We love and appreciate it when you upload your cards so that everyone can see them, it really contributes to the community feeling of this challenge.

1. If you are participating in sending your card this month to a fellow teapotter please post a comment in this thread.

2. Just post your Splitcoast Screen-name and a number next to it. The number will indicate in which order you happened to the thread.

Like this using *Cook22* as an example for the screen name.......
Cook22 #1

Then the next person will be
HappyStamping #2 and so forth.

3. I will then match up the number in this thread with a card belonging to another participating teapotter and pm everyone with their Tickle Assignment!!

Tickle A Teapotter Card Exchange Guidelines!

Since everyone is excited to get tickled by a Teapotter, here are a few guidelines. Make sure to read them all.

1. You will be receiving a short pm from me on Sunday the week after the challenge - so that will be Sunday 30th
December. It will be short and will simply say in the subject line: You tickle........

Inside the pm it will give you the SCSer's name that you are to send your card to.

If you do not receive a pm from me by the evening of Monday 31st December, please do contact me in case I messed up.

2. Please mail your card shortly after you have received word from me regarding who you are tickling! Everyone is excited and looking forward to getting their card!

If you cannot get your card off in the mail for some reason please let me know or let the person to whom you've been assigned know.

3. When you receive your card from a Fellow Teapotter, please send a pm to that person so they know their card has been received or post a comment in the Tell a Teapotter About Your Tickle thread located HERE. You can even do both!!

4: I do a random draw to assign each participant for another Teapotter to send to, just in case you're wondering. I do track who sends to whom each month, and if you get the same person twice in a row I'll toss their number back in and draw again, but otherwise it's totally random.


Jacqueline, the Teapotter TEAm and I thank you all for your participation in the challenges throughout the year, for sending cards each week to brighten, cheer and encourage others.

The "helping hand" came about because someone said that she so enjoys participating in the Tickle and loves sending some little extras but sometimes struggles to know what the recipient would really like and use. I know some of us are happy with anything - but I have to say I really appreciate a little input as to what the recipient would especially like, in case it's something I happen to have, so while you will be happy with anything, it sure does help some of us to have an idea what to send!!

In this post is a short list of items.
When you sign up, you can choose to mention up to three things on that list as being things that are "you", and which you will enjoy using.

This isn't to say that you will get them - but if the person tickling you needs a little help, it will give them a helping hand!

And if you don't want to pick anything from the list, the person tickling you will do their Teapotter best as they always do :mrgreen:.

Embossed backgrounds
Die-cuts
Animal images...cute or more "real"
Vintage style images
Sentiments
Humorous images
People images
Nature Images
Ribbon/bling
* a wild card. Would you love a few llamas of flamingoes, or some AI images? Or...? Again, it's no guarantee, but if the person tickling you has something that you have added as a wild card, chances are you'll get even luckier than usual .

And if you are happy just to receive a card (many of us have so many wonderful extras that we're busy trying to use them up), mention that when you sign up. Any indications of just a card or helping hand tips are included when I PM the assignments.

[ArtzadoniStudio]

Lori here, clocking in at #20. Thanks for all the connection and creativity. A card is fine but I like weird people, and oddball anythings.

[stampingwriter]

stampingwriter#21 -- just a card is all I need.

[heartsong47]

Guess im too late...didn't realize the 25 th was the last Tuesday...:(

[Covington Crafter]

You're not too late, Jan! Since Sandy is 21, you must be 22.

That makes me 23! The pleasure of your card is all I need

[JanetJ]

Am I too late? If not, could I please be 23?

[Cook22]

Not too late...the challenge post says sign-up by bedtime on Saturday....and while it's nearly bedtime for me, I'm counting that as West Coast bedtime in SCS-land ;-).

[heartsong47]

Ok...I am in at 24? I love flower images...or any images is fine!!

[Cook22]

All the assignment PMs have been sent. Please contact me if there are any problems!

We really were building bridges this week - my random draw threw up not one but two direct swaps...now, which teapotters will be building bridges between each other!!

My closing photo is from our trip to Paris in April this year. There was a heatwave, and everyone was out enjoying the heat and sunshine - and sunset.

[Cook22]

Okay, checking my blog for bridges and can't resist adding this one - which I guess was some unofficial art installation. Sandy's bridge photo in the challenge thread reminds me a little of this bridge, which I often cross on the way to work.

[Covington Crafter]

I can't resist adding a picture of our local bridge troll. Frequently popping up in movies and television shows set in Seattle, the Fremont Troll is a public sculpture by four local artists set beneath a bridge in the Fremont neighborhood. The piece won a neighborhood competition in 1990 as an idea to revitalize what was, at the time, a dumping ground. The troll sculpture is clutching an actual Volkswagen Beetle.

[Cook22]

Consider the like button clicked. It must be huge if that's a real Beetle. I know they're small, but ...

[donnajeanne]

So interesting these are and pretty---hmmmm not sure the troll is but I like trolls----thanks all for sending all the bridges to see

[susie australia]

I've been mentally thumping the LIKE button for all the bridge pictures, both here and on our challenge chat thread. Love the clothes line hehehe
