Music! From Allegro to ZZ Top ~ Due October 27, 2026

[Sunny]

Yes, it's a great idea to place the sheet music transparently over it—it creates a fantastic effect and really lets Freddy shine.

That ended up being my favorite card for this swap, one of those that, even though I enjoy making and swapping ATCs, it was hard to let go of.

It's such a fabulous card! When they're hard to let go, you really know you have something there.

Today's mail included the beautiful cards from @CiCiCreates
I think the idea and the designs are really beautiful, and I like the vibrant colors very much
Thank you very much also for the hostie!

Hello to all music swappers!
I’m so happy to post a mail call before my trip to London tomorrow…
Thanks a lot to @Joanna1224 and @mrubyjean for beautiful cards and the lovely hosties!

I began to worry a bit as Joanna has sent early in September, but here it is now
These fluctuations in delivery times are really strange, aren't they?

All cards are so creative and wonderful!
And now only two letters are missing, and we still have plenty of time.

Good times to everybody!
I’m back on Monday night. We will be at two concerts, Big Big Train and Lazuli. Great songs and musicians and quite special instruments

 

[Joanna1224]

Phew!! I was getting concerned they hadn’t arrived in almost 6 weeks!!!

Enjoy the concerts in London Sunny!

Just watching Adam and the Ants in an old Top of the Pops on BBC, Dog eat Dog - great song and wonderful surprisingly performance

Forgot to post, i send the cards out on the weekend. Great to have such a short delivery for once
Bad news is tho that I completely forgot to take pictures, so it's gonna be a bit of a surprise now haha

It won't be a surprise that they are 1000% amazing!

Today the letter from @little.sea.clam arrived, and yes - really amazing cards! As she agreed I may post a picture here

As for the last card, from @mybrokenart , I'm not giving up hope just yet, since I also received a traded card from @nanner today , postmarked September 8. And that letter was rather small and flat, so that's probably not the reason

Stay happy everyone

 

[little.sea.clam]

Thanks @Sunny for posting some pics!

As a quick explanation:
The trumpet is a bit raised with a scratch of background I made with some wax crayons
The lyre as some actual string
The violin bow moves a little bit
And the rattles have a bit of sand in the card, so when shaken it makes some sound

 

[nanner]

They are all so pretty!

 

[Sunny]

The bow is really fascinating and the rattles very funny! A percussion card
Very fine and detailed artwork, love them a lot!

Hello and good morning everybody
Tomorrow is the due date, and unfortunately, there’s still one letter missing—from @mybrokenart ...
Could someone at the post office have taken it for their own collection? Or is this just making things extra exciting for us? Or did the cards get lost somewhere on their way to a music festival?
I’m hoping for delivery tomorrow—please keep your fingers crossed.
Otherwise, would it be okay to wait a few more days?
Or what to do in such a case?

 

[Sunny]

In any case I have created enough cards for an extra 3:3 trade if the letter arrives later

 

[Joanna1224]

Good morning The mail times are so inconsistent lately! I don’t know what the rules are, but have no problem at all waiting a few days to see if their cards arrive.

It is unfortunate, but I understand for you to swap on time. These things happen.
Please do what you feel best should my cards arrive later. Keep them, trade them, send them back-whatever you want, im ok with anything.

[Sunny]

Thank you
And maybe we are lucky

There aren't any hard/fast rules when it comes to waiting on the mail, so that is left up to each host to decide. Since you know the art is on its way, it would be just fine to give it a little more time. I don't mind waiting longer for the show to start.
