MMTPT783 - Tickle a Teapotter - Well That's Just Ducky
TICKLE A TEAPOTTER MMTPT783 / Jully 2023
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 beHappyStamping #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 July 2023. 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 July 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! IMPORTANT: If you cannot get your card off in the mail in a timely fashion 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: Tell A Teapotter About Your Tickle. by Cook22 at Splitcoaststampers. 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 I am sure you will be happy with anything, it 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. And if you are happy just to receive a card (many of us have received so many wonderful extras that we're still 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. Please remember to respect angel policies.

Please read the important note about international mailing. Please understand that if someone is mailing internationally, they may not include extras.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ INTERNATIONAL TICKLES ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For those of you who get an international tickle, please don't feel that you have to send anything extra, or even your actual tickle card if it's bulky enough to incur extra postage. It's also getting more complicated as customs forms may be required, so keep it easy. Try to keep your mailing to a regular envelope! I know any of us will be thrilled just to receive one of your lovely cards and a happy hello with no extras. I think most of us say "just a card" in our sign-ups, anyway. I can tell you that since ALL mine are international, I try to keep within what I know classes as a large envelope at the most.
Late to the party at #26 DancesWithHooves. Just a card is more than I could ask for!

All assignments have been PM-ed. I'm just waiting for CreepsMom's address which I'll pass on ASAP to her sender; any other questions please feel free to ask.
Do remember to thank your sender - either by PM and/or on the Tell a Teapotter thread here: Tell A Teapotter About Your Tickle. by Cook22 at Splitcoaststampers
We do all get a bit anxious if we haven't heard, in case post has got lost.
I'm adding two bird photos - I think the stilt is one of my favourite sea birds, and cormorants (when seen in the right light) are amazingly beautiful. At other times, I just think they look somewhat prehistoric! We have a lot of them here in Ireland. No stilts, alas, I only see them in Europe.
Thank you Sandy for a wonderful challenge. I wish I could have brought along some of my pelicans, flamingos, sandpipers etc. My very first SU stamp set was Shore Thing, bought for the bird stamp.
WOW that looks like a huge bird!
beautiful picture
The photo might be deceptive - they're not enormous. Bigger than most ducks, but not huge. Length: 80-100cm. Wingspan: 130-160cm. Because they are divers, you often see them with their wings spread out wide to dry. They look black, but in the sunlight there are wonderful shades of browns. I'd like to be able to knit a sweater that looked like that!
Lovely birds, Sabrina!!! Thank you for sharing them! 💖
