I'm sorry I'm so late posting a theme for this month.
For June the theme is.................. Floral delights!

Our numbers are slowly increasing - anyone else want to try their hand at making ATCs? There's no commitment to join in every month, just as and when you can. You could even give it a try for one month and if you don't enjoy it you don't have to join in again. Just shout out if you have any questions, either post in this thread or PM me.
The most important thing is to have fun!

It may be a challenge to find the plastic pocket to send them in mind!

Great news Victoria! You really have been missed in the swap - I look forward to receiving your envelope!

Not sure if I'll have time to make any this month and I don't have any floral ones already made. Presumably we've got until the end of next week to get them to you, so if you haven't heard from me by then, do the swap without me.

Two weeks today is the 27th - as long as I know that they're on the way I'll hold the swap open.

It's the wedding next weekend so I wanted to make sure I had them done before the last minute race to get organised.

Was hoping to be a last pip at the post joiner
But with hubby off I am all behind with my card making
I have had to do moonpig cards as I have not been able to get my stash out and also as hubby can't drive he can't post my mail for me and its a mile and a half round trip to post a letter
Not that I am lazy but it is down a lane with nowhere to go but down a four foot ditch if a tractor goes by

Apologies my ATC 's won't make it into the post box until tomorrow. I was hoping to finish them yesterday but I had my facet joint injections in my neck on Saturday morning and they haven't settled down yet so didn't get to finish them as planned. Will get them sorted this afternoon and in the post tomorrow x

Ouch - that sounds horrible Glingle! I've lost a week somewhere LOL! I thought the 27th was Tuesday of next week! I'm happy to wait for ATCs as long as I know they're on the way (as with yours). Friday is hubby's chemo day and for the first few days afterwards he needs me to help him. So I need to get the swap done on Thursday or it will have to wait until next week.

My ATC's hit the postbox this morning. Had intended to get them in the post yesterday but my nuvo drops had sunk in the middle so I had to top them up and let them set again. Ruddy things! Sorry they're late and I forgot to take a photo of them... I swear if I had a brain cell I'd be dangerous!

Cardiac problems and now on medication.

I'll hold the swap for you Anne. I hope Mum is improving continually and that you have managed to catch up on lost sleep - hugs.

Thanks. At 90 docs are not sure which way it will go. As long as these " episodes" are controlled Mum says she'll be happy whatever happens. Still a bit tired as I'm" listening" for the phone.

Sorry to read of the bad time some of you have been having - hope things get better. We were fortunate enough to have a great time at the wedding of 2nd born this weekend. My new daughter in law is very crafty and had made lots of things for the big day. She had bought some cheap ornate mirrors and used white chalk pen to write up table places etc - very effective.

EA I hope your mum is on the mend and you can relax a bit.

PJP I hope your hubby's chemo goes well.

PP the wedding sounds lovely and I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Two more envelopes arrived today - Julie's and Glingle's, thank you both. Just waiting for Anne's to arrive.

Anne's ATCs arrived today. I had hoped to do the swap tonight when hubby had gone to bed - he needs an early night after chemo. Unfortunately we've had a nightmare day, transport not turning up until 30 minutes after his appointment time and it takes 45 minutes to get there. Then the unit was very busy and running behind so we had to wait to be seen. And then after the chemo hubby stood up to go to the toilet and felt nauseous and dry heaved. So they wouldn't let him leave until he felt better. By then the transport office had closed and 2 separate taxis had been ordered but they both had to leave as they couldn't wait any longer. So we ended up having to wait for a third to be called. We only arrived home about 7:15 and I'm too tired now to take photos of all the swaps so will do it tomorrow.

EssexAnne

Oh no, I feel for you both - its awful having to rely on other people, even when they mean well. Hope you can both rest and chill this weekend PJP, turn the phone off too!

Sending you a big hug Pam ,well as big as little me can manage
Hope you both got a good nights sleep
And hubby is feeling better today

What an ordeal for you both. Things like swaps can always wait, we'd all far rather you looked after hubby and yourself than worry about some bits of card. Rest up as much as you both can over the weekend and sort the swap when you are able. Sending hugs to you both xxx

Susan W

We've had a really long lie in - I got up about 2 pm! Hubby is much better just the usual issues that follow every chemo and he's much more upbeat mentally this morning. Thanks for all the well wishes and concern - you really are a great group of people.

PJP: Only just seen your update, sorry. Don't even THINK about doing the swap in these circumstances, although thank you for letting us know that you can't. You put a lot of time and effort into keeping the swap going and we all appreciate that, and understand that you have far more important things on your plate at the moment.
