TICKLE A TEAPOTTER

MMTPT610/ MARCH 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 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 5th April. 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 September 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. Please remember to respect angel policies.

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: summer beach fun, a nice Adironadack chair, a bit of humour and light relief for our current times...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.

[wendy2512]

#9 for me I have not been making cards lately as silly as it sounds I was not sure about sending them and spreading germs. could sorters or mailmen have them...? but I am still in...
I Love cute or sentiments anything is fun though....especially tickle mail..:0)

[Cook22]

Wanda, I think it's generally advised that the virus does not stay active very long on card or paper, a matter of 24 hours max (and that just means particles can be detected, not necessarily that they are sufficient to be infectious). If you are concerned about carriers or sorters, just leave it in your porch for a day after you receive it. I have been sending as normal... probably more than normal.

[Miss Boo]

Count me in at #10
Since we're doing a book cover theme, any image with a book would be fun.

[jacqueline]

Coming in at #11

[jkanack]

#12 for the Beanster. If you would like to send me something like a background, that would be lovely. If not, that's fine.

[jkanack]

...oh and a gift card to Amazon or Barnes and Noble....ha ha, just kidding. You knew that. Humor is what is getting me through. As my Dad would have said, very little humor.

Wow! I didn't know real bookstores still existed.
I had to Google it and found out there's one in the next county.

[One4Joy]

I’ll take the 13th spot! Maybe I’ll pick a book I loved when I was 13.

I can think of at least six in Dublin, a couple of chains and several independents. I found a really nice new-to-me one when I was getting my flute serviced recently. And that's not counting the exclusively antiquarian one.

Images are always appreciated. I've gotten some great ones--just need to use them and not hoard them for myself.

[Carolinakathy]

I am on at #27 as there are two 25 right now.

[shirlb19]

Shirl #28.......Just happy to receive a card! Never done this card at the end of the teapotter month thing, so I hope I have done everything needed!

Thanks Sabrina,

Shirl

No worries at all, Jayne. It's far from the first time the numbers have been wonky, going back to Cindy's time . It's funny more than anything else, and the spreadsheet sorts it all out.

[Covington Crafter]

I'm in at 29 (or so). Looking forward to a card and I'd love a surprise image or die cut!

[Cook22]

Wasn't that a brilliant challenge? I've already read one book someone featured, and have another one just waiting for my next Amazon voucher to top up my account. Thank you, Sue. Thank you all the postmen still working and delivering mail through this time.

Any problems, let me know. Post may be a little slower than usual in some places, but nobody has reported any problems and most of mine to the US last week seems to have flown over!

My image is from a list of the best book covers of 2018.

[Ozpom]

My card is 2/3 completed....i will post it tomorrow. Thank you for the challenge. I so enjoyed it. Hugs
