Well I just finished my cards. I'm sending 13 this year. Unfortunatly, nothing really pricy like I have done in years past and 5 of them arn't playable in any format to be honest (though they do set the theme, where fun to do, and look really cool). For that mater, I'm not certain any of them are really all that viable. That said, I did like how they all ended up and this is my best looking batch that I have ever done.
I'm planning on sending them out on Monday. Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to get someone to take really good photos of them and send them to my email so that I will be able to post pictures of them when that time comes.
Okay, I sent my out today. Went with UPS so they should get there on Friday. Sorry about the tardiness.
I asked someone else who has a better phone camera than me to photo them and then email me the pictures, but I havn't gotten that email yet. Either something went wrong with that email or it just hasn't been recieved yet or I hope whoever gets mine can photo them and post them in this thread later.
The card exchange was delayed by a few days for a couple reasons (more on that below) but I packaged everything up tonight and put everything domestic out in my (currently very, very stuffed) mailbox! I'll take a trip to the post office to send international mail tomorrow.
If you're in the US you should hopefully have your package before Sunday! Hurray! And that's a good thing too, because there are a lot of cool things to go around...
First up, MTGKaioshin - or perhaps we should begin calling him MTGSalvation Santa - graciously sent in a whole stack of altered cards to be distributed throughout envelopes, expecting nothing in return. That means everybody got a little something extra!
This was one of the highlights of last year for many people, so if you see a few cards in your package signed by "MTGK," they're bonus cards just for you. Awesome!
And that's not where the bonus fun stops either. Inspired by MTGKaioshin's kindness last year, Rianalnn got in on the fun and drew some absolutely gorgeous acryllic land artwork over several Forests and Mountains. Not everybody has one of these beauties waiting in their package because I was "only" sent a dozen to distribute, but I was given some distribution instructions and some of you lucky fellas will have one staring back from you in your package.
I was waiting for Rianalnn's package to get here though, and it finally arrived today. I'm sure you can all excuse the delay considering how awesome this bonus is.
So now that you know about the gobs of bonus extras you can receive, how about we actually look over which cards are going where, shall we?
Excuses for minor typos/uncapitalizations in everyone's usernames. I copied off what you all wrote on your paper. (A system which worked quite well, by the way.)
I know there are still a couple of you who sent packages but they aren't here yet. I'm sure there will be a couple stragglers I can pair you up with as they arrive.
There are some great cards out there - good job everybody! These alters look great.
Let me know if you guys have any questions! May the compulsive checking of mail begin.

Just interested, not trying to pressure.

I don't think they've been sent out yet. Lesurgo will probably make a post saying he sent, along with a list of who is getting what cards.
