TICKLE A TEAPOTTER

MMTPT605/ February 2020

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 username 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 1st March. 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 2nd March 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.

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.

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 .

Embossed backgrounds
Word die-cuts
Animal images...cute or more "real"
Vintage style images
Sentiments
Humorous images
People images
Nature Images
Ribbon/bling
* a wild card: Spring flowers, rainbows, cute kitties...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.

[Cook22]

Jean, thank you for a great and inspiring challenge.

All the PMs have been sent. Remember that mail to and from Australia can take three weeks or more. We've been lucky and the spate of missing cards within the US seems to have stopped - phew. So discouraging.
PM me if you have any questions...

I was telling Jean about a website where I buy a moldable glue (Sugru), which I use regularly for repairs. And I was telling her how they had recently started offering a third-party repair kit for sweaters and textiles - which is essentially a little mini needle-felting kit. And that inspired me to try needle-felting the two patched elbows on an old sweater which DH is not yet prepared to consign to history. Success...

Anway, their latest third-party offering is iron-on gold patches - so because it is so much in keeping with this challenge, that is what I am using as the sign-off picture in this thread:

Quote:

Golden iron-on patches to celebrate imperfections

Do you have a treasured garment with a mark, stain or imperfection that you just can’t remove? No worries, now you can give the garment a new life with remarkable. This amazing solution is a kit containing quirky, delicate, golden iron-on patches. Each patch will turn any imperfection into something remarkable, as if you’ve been hit by some flying golden paint.

Designed by Humade in the Netherlands, remarkable is part of a new mindset against waste. Each kit comes with a sheet of golden iron-on marks, a piece of felt, some baking foil and an easy step-by-step manual.

[susie australia]

Wow Sabrina, I can't wait to wreck something, so I can repair it!!!!

[jkanack]

That is soooooo neat. Thanks, Sabrina!

[One4Joy]

Count me in...can we patch up wrinkles???
Brilliant idea.
