These are the last two of the May envelopes and it's been a while since I loaded them. I load all the photos at once with the idea that I won't miss any - even though I may miss a few. I do feel like these were more pleasing to my eyes than some of the others. They are both newer exchangers - and with new names - sometimes it takes a while to get into a groove. Sometimes I wonder if I've *burned out* on the names that I've been doing for many years.
How many years has it been, you might ask? The exchange started in Nov of 2013. It took a couple years for it to settle into a routine where sign up is on the first of each month - for four days. I just spent a couple hours flipping through the 2014-2015 blog posts and found all kinds of things that I had forgotten. The thing that was most surprising was that I did not start sending to everyone who signed up during the first year. It was my friend Jan who suggested I send to everyone.
I've had quite a few people whose names start with C and C has been a hard letter for me. I also have trouble with double letters - like gg, nn, tt (Maggie and Patty). Cliff was brand new in April and I was thinking I might have a hard time with the c and the ff - but - I was pleasantly surprised that this one was splashy and fun. Cliff must have liked it because he signed up again. I'm still in Chicago so I have not seen what Cliff sent from Mississippi. Having an exchanger in Mississippi will give me an opportunity to re-run some of my ideas for turning that state into a design element.
I wish I had put some red hearts on this one.....
