Keep those good vibes strong Helen!! I'm thinking they will too!!
Glad Allegrae's made it. I'm still thinking positive thoughts that mine will squeak in.
Me too, Mollie!
Boohoo! There were no envelopes in today's mail. 
Unfortunately I have too many commitments next week to wait another mail day, so I'll be swapping out and will have the returns in Monday's mail.

I just kind of had a feeling they were lost somewhere in the universe. Oh well. Maybe my ancestors will show up some day. It was a fun swap to do!
My friends, your returns are in the mail. Here's hoping the postal faeries behave and get them to you quickly!
When you receive your returns, please leave feedback for your host - which is me.
Also please let the artists whose cards you receive know where their art now lives. That can be done by posting a thank you in the thread, and/or giving a reputation comment, or posting on their profile or sending a conversation / private message.
Note that I've included links to each swap participant in the first post to make it easy to leave a reputation comment.
It has been such fun seeing your "ancestors" and hearing the stories. Thanks for playing everyone!

I guess it is not too amazing that I got my returns first. Your state is just above mine. I recd cards from Picklepot, jessiblack and CynthiaSillitoe. I will have to look up the word "sardonic". I love using old photos for swaps. thanks for hosting this HHC.
I received my altered ancestors today from Laffqueen, Littleredshoedesigns and Cynthiasillitoe..I love them all!
Thank you Helen for such a fun swap. Leaving kudos right now.

Love my Altered Best Friend card!
Awesome Altered Ancestors are in the house! Outstanding art is here from:
Miss - I'm having a Bubblegum Shootout with Malcolm, and I am loving it!
LCArtist - I got a couple in party hats here. Very cool to include the original piece of art with the ATC.
Kerensa - I will take good care of your Grammie. Lovely details included with the card.
Extra hugs and high-fives for Helen! This swap was an instant favorite for me. I truly loved playing along. Thank you!

I thought I posted a comment, but my fat thumbs might had posted it in the wrong place.
THANK YOU triptychofthevoid, siouxcitysue and Nancy L for playing. Great cards.
Much appreciation to Helen HHC for hosting. It's a lot of work, but we couldn't do this without people stepping up to make it happen.
