Valentine/Spring ATC Swaps -- Flowering trees shipping out 3/15!

wahhhh isn't she awesome! I immediately thought a little hockey-stick-wielding pony was in order when I saw Teddy had this rearing tiny tin available to customize. She did such a fantastic job with her. I'm elated!

Oh and I thought it was pretty cool to get your "literary" Valentine cards because lp9 sent me both a Romeo AND a Juliet so I have the set! Yay! lol
 
Yay! lol I was wondering if she would send them as "sets" or not. If I remember right, there was a Romeo & Juliet from (obviously) "Romeo & Juliet", a Hades & Persephone from Greek Myth, a Scarlette O'Hara & Rhett Butler from "Gone With the Wind", an Odysseus & Penelope from "The Odyssey and a Phantom & Christine from "The Phantom of the Opera". :) I'm glad you liked them!

woah! Hades/Persephone and Odysseus and Penelope! That's awesome! I love Greek myth!
 
I ended up with Scarlet and Rhett from Gone with the Wind. I had a chuckle since that's my grandmother's absolute favorite movie ever.

I enjoyed the book more, I thought there was more depth and detail to the other characters.
 
Oh I would love to read the book. Maybe I'll add it to my reading list for the summer. *looks at the two-foot long list* Maybe.... But I did actually pull their quotes from the book! I hope.....

I got my Cherry Month cards today!! They're all so cute! Since I didn't do this for the Victorian Valentine's, I thought I'd make up for it here. ^_^

Lily (?) - I love the tassel! It reminds me of a bookmark and Posey looks so cute!

The one from Snuzzle - Wow that's a lot of work! I love all the cut-outs and Snuzzle's one of my favorite ponies since she's the only gray one. :)

LP9 - I love what looks like lacework on your's. The green pony is adorable. Is she modeled after someone? If she had green eyes, she'd remind me of Fizzy.

BBD - Yay for Rainbow Dash! I love the lacework and how you put the rainbow colors in it.

Tsuki - I love both of the ones I got! I got the pencil drawing of the pegasusi and Fizzy's special delivery. The shading on the pegasus is just gorgous and I love Fizzy and the little bow!

Heart Throb (?) - I don't know who's this one was, but the detail is beautiful! I love how coy she looks.

Beth - I love Steamer's heart-shaped smoke! And "Love Train" just made me giggle. And the pop-up Lullabye Nursery is adorable!

Ok, on to my Cherry Month ones. :)

Hindsight - Gusty! Oh how I love Gusty. :) She's beautifully colored!

Beth - That little pony is so cute! Is it Cherries Jubilee? Either way, how cute!

Tsuki - Ohhh chocolate covered cherries.... My mom would love those! And yay for flutters and baby seaponies!

Lev21 - Cherry Tart is lovely! I love the coloration. I'm gonna have to keep these for when I'm ready to start customizing. ^_^

LP9 - More lovelies! Both are such a lovely shade of blue and I love the flowering tree on the one pony.

All of them are so lovely and I can't *wait* to see the Flowering Tree cards from these lovely artists! :artist::1942:

Yep, I made sure I sent Ravenflyer's as sets. I picked them for everyone randomly, then rooted around in the pile to find the matching one. *g*

I didn't have any particular ponies in mind when I was doing my cards. Well, I sorta did on the pink/purple Valentines, but not really. (Way to be vague, there!)
 
I got my cherry cards today! They're all so cute :) Now I'm kinda thinking I went a little overboard trying to think of snacks that are made out of cherries *oops* If anyone needs any clarification on what's on my cards, let me know :)
 
Raven, I'm the one that did the tassels for the Victorian valentines. I just forgot to sign the cards. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

phantom of the opera. so smart. i would have loved to have gotten those. i got odysseus and penelope.

cant wait to get my cards. probably saturday afternoon.
 
Yeah! That's was CJ alright! Hmm... I hope I get my cards soon!
 
Surfstar - Oh your's was so gorgous! I'm really tempted to use it as a bookmark, but I don't want to ruin it! lol

Ahh I'm sorry BBD. I'm hopefully gonna scan the original art for my Victorian cards next week sometime. Juliet and Penelope are especially so much more detailed than I was able to fit on those cards. I don't have a scanner at home, so I had to sketch them out in my notebook and then transfer them by hand with free tracing, so a lot of the detail was lost. :(

And Cherries Jubilee! One of my favorites! lol I have a *lot* of favorite childhood ponies. :) *is bouncing around * I can't wait to see the next set! Btw LP9, did you get my e-mail about the address change?

~Raven
 
Raven - If it makes you feel better I also do custom bookmarks. The cards themselves are pretty sturdy I'd only be worried about the embellishments coming apart since they didn't want to stick super well.
 
Tsuki, I wish I'd been able to do more detail on my cherry cards, but I actually wasn't planning to do any for that swap. I would have liked to do much more -- but I did mine as some last minute filler to make sure everybody got enough cards back. I'm rather disappointed with my offerings.

Raven, I got your email. =)

I'm puttering away on my last research paper of the semester and I've got finals through next Thursday, so don't be alarmed if I'm not around too much this week. Can't think too much about ponies or my legal terms will fall out of my head...:catdevious:
 
Yeah Raven, glad you like Gusty!

I'm dying here. I've had off work on Friday & I'm sure my cards are waiting for me. I dont want to wait til Monday, at least it will be a nice start to my week. :)

Edit for picture:
Here is the Gusty card. Simple but cute.

Sorry for the glare, taken by picture not scanned.

ladyphoenix, did my cards ever reach you? I'm so disappointed that they didn't make it on time and that I was stupid and forgot to scan them. If they ever reach you, could you please send them back and then I will mail them to everyone in the cherry swap?
 
No, Goddess Daine, they never have shown up. I'm afraid if they don't come back to you soon, they've been eaten somewhere in the DC postal system. :-(

And it's partially my fault for not reminding the cherry swappers to take some digital backups. I should have reminded everyone, as that was "new" for the swaps. (I'll remember next time!)
 
Yeah, my cards were waiting for me on my desk when I came into work today. :)

Lev_21n01, I love the card I got! "Cherry CheeseCake" Yum I love cherry Cheesecake!

TheBeth, I love how the pony is holding cherries in her teeth.

Raven, what a cute idea to use the pony symbol

LadyPhoenix, They are so cute. I love unicorns & the Sakara tree on the ones rump.

Tsuki, how cute ponies & cherry popsicles. The cherry ones are my fav as well.

Thank you everyone very much!
After seeing the ones I got I feel good about mine. I was afraid they wouldnt be decorated enough. I think they will all be fine.
 
I am so sad/mad... I'm wondering if I didn't put the correct address on it or something... It's my own stupid fault for not taking digital pics of them. I feel like such a loser....
