Selise, So sorry for your loss. What a good idea to host a swap in your father's honor! I said prayers for him as I made the ATCs for the swap. They are all ready, in envelopes, just waiting for the addresses. We lost my husband's uncle (he was really like a father to him) on May 1st. He died here in our home, with all of us with him. He was 80. We miss him terribly. Linda

Selise, My father was also a boater[mainely sailing]on the west coast. But after he retired, he sold the sail boat, and bought a C-Dory for fishing[salmon] I also grew up around and on the water. My hubby and I still fish a lot, but I truly miss sailing, and fishing with my dad. SO I am very pleased to join your swap. Gin

Thank you both so much for joining in. I hope in a way this is as theraputic for you as it is for me. :-)

I can't wait for partners either, I'm itching to get these out there and share my love for the water with everone.

DON'T YOU ALSO HAVE A PUZZLE WITH JACKIE? I WOULD LIKE TO JOIIN THIS SWAP BUT THERE IS NO LINK TO JOIN. THANKS, JUDE

because i did not have a birth year on it, yahoo would not let me join any swaps. fixed it, so this is just to let you know why they wouldn't allow me to join any swaps. another of yahoo's glitches........jude

Selise, I just noticed, this is the 4th swap of yours that I have joined.I was also in your butterflys, dragonflys,and horses atcs. Gin

wow gin! I'm glad you like the themes I've been coming up with :)

partners have now been assigned!!

I just had a family emergency come up, I haven't finished all my cards yet, but I'll aim for them all to be done by tonight. I'm leaving the country tomorrow for 10 days to be with my husband and his family in England as his grandmother is dying :( so I'll get these out ASAP!

my cards are done, but they're at home (didn't have the postage to mail them) I'm sending all mine out on the 10th of July.

okies, my cards are in the mail :)

Sue Fitz, have not received your atc's as of today.

I did mail them out before the due date, but I never was notified if they were received or not, so I sent again.

:( I'm sorry for any inconvenience to you. I posted them around the 30th of June (I think I mailed one or two of them) because I had a family emergency that took me away to England for 2 weeks, with limited internet access.
