Things should be going out tomorrow. Ive got about 11 of 15 expected packages, although I haven't updated my count to include people who've pm'd me to drop out.
Packages NOT received by today:
Figurative
Cythare (Bowing out)
pikachugundam
Glimflicker
DrWorm
Some of you may have messaged me, but I honestly don't have time to go back and double check every message with everyone. Late exchange is possible, but not reliable, and I can't guarantee mysterious benefactor gifts for those people.
For everyone else, good luck. It's a crapshoot what the post office will take sometimes. I had to add a decent amount of postage, but I'm not quite sure it'll be enough for every package as I had to guesstimate the overall weight. I'll make sure to add to the rules for next year to send enough postage to cover a 6 oz package, and to send envelopes of business size or larger.
With that out of the way, here's my gift, courtesy of Ashnak! There were a lot of great gifts this year, people. I'm not going to spoil the gifts that everyone is getting yet, but you can look forward to some fun stuff!
The art we create, the waiting time, the teasing of seeing what other users sent or receive... All those things make this idea so cool!
Proud to be in 8/9 times ^^
It has been another great card alter's gift exchange. I'll be the first to post scans (maybe mine came quicker than others :shrug:)
I received from Bobthefunny. As you can see, he did a lot of different things.
I have:
- 3 Bird Tokens (1 of them coming from the Carnivorous Death Parrot [I will still recite "Better save a kill spell for me." during my upkeeps, lol]).
- Command Sphere made into a red tree ornament
- 3D Power Sink (way cool)
AAANNDDD, from Jay13x, a great mystery gift - Thank you! (Was tempting to put up pics, but figured that would ruin the surprise, so I am not).
Merry Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanza/Chrismukkah/Festivus-for-the-Rest-of-Us and a blurry drunken/clear-headed sober New Year too!!!
You may scan them. My scanner has been acting goofy for over a year now and I gave up on it before finishing my alters. I contacted Disney and they didn't want it so I'm stuck with a dysfunctional scanner!

I had amnesia once, or maybe twice. I don't remember.

This is actually not entirely me!
I donated a number of Commander spheres to make it across to everyone in the exchange (While supplies last!), which is probably where the confusion is from, but sadly the 3D and Bird tokens are not mine!
Maybe whoever it is will step up and claim their handiwork?

I received a holiday altered Battlewand Oak, which gives me some ideas for future years, a friendly note, and a Bring to Light, Flamewake Phoenix, and Llanowar Wastes. There's no name on the note though, so I have no idea who you are! I also received 2 Negates, from grant1, one of my own Commander Spheres, and the mystery benefactor gift! (to be spoiled later!)
Thanks to all who sent in (and let me know who you were!).
Hey - There may be some confusion as I did have to open some of the packages and send the cards out differently than how they were originally packaged. I think for the most part people signed their cards, though.
I totally got some scans....These are awesome, Grant1. Is there a specific reason there are 5 of the Islands, Swamps, and Mountains and only four of the Forest and Plains? I mean, it's totally cool either way! I'm hoping that I almost have enough cards to prepare
Also, Roon is just awesome!
Thank you for the Command Sphere, Bob the Funny!

Yesterday in Edmonton, the postman rang three times !!! First time it was Canadian post, then UPS came and last but not least Canada post came again for the Christmas package!!!
Thanks again to Jay13x for making this possible even when you had a big new entry in your family!
Thanks to Bob the Funny, grant1 and Serrot_29! Thanks to the mysterious guy who sent ********************
Now comes the picture, spoiler warning !
And now cards I sent (they were received by Elemental)
Slavan- You can blame the Christmas cups from Starbucks for there only being 4 each of the Forests/Plains. As I was packing the cards to send some coffee jumped out of the cup and attacked a forest and a plains. After a valiant fight I subdued the coffee, but not before it badly warped the cards. A better Holiday cup would have better controlled the coffee! (or maybe I spilled some and didn't notice until it was too late) Glad you liked Roon. He was my favorite after I did them.
I received my cards from Jay13X himself, as well as bonus packs(Ob Nixilis!), a Commander Sphere from bobtheusedtobefunnybutnowseriouslycoolguyformakingthespherewhichwentintomyCromatEDHdeck, and a couple of attempts to Negate my joy. I will try to intimidate my feeble/notworkingwell scanner into working when I have a chance to run out to school where it is hidden, but Jay13X can post pics if he has them. He sent Archon of Justice (Rudolph), Anticipate, Silkwrapped Giftwrap, Smothering (with affection) Abomination, and an Elf Warrior token! Thanx!Archon is going into an EDH deck and the Abomination into my cube. The other two into Standard decks.

I'd like to thank Jay, again, for doing this. Thanks also go out to Elemental, bobthefunny, grant1, and the mysterious gifter (will we ever know their identity?).
The Tower is an artist proof with a message from Elemental on the back
I'm actually tempted on putting a small hole in this and hanging it on my tree.
These are actually going into my personal collection with my other Grant1 alters (cards that I use when deck building)
*Prays they made it there in time*

This first picture in this one, with the altered Battlewand Oak, is the one I received. Got a name to go with it Jay?
Attached a pic of what I sent out. Curious who received...
