TICKLE A TEAPOTTER
MMTPT666/ APRIL 2021 PARTICIPATING STAMPERS!
We love and appreciate it when you upload your cards so that everyone can see them, it really contributes to the community feeling of this challenge.
1. If you are participating in sending your card this month to a fellow teapotter please post a comment in this thread.
2. Just post your Splitcoast Screen-name and a number next to it. The number will indicate in which order you happened to the thread.
Like this using *Cook22* as an example for the screen name....... Cook22 #1 Then the next person will be HappyStamping #2 and so forth.
3. I will then match up the number in this thread with a card belonging to another participating teapotter and pm everyone with their Tickle Assignment!!
Tickle A Teapotter Card Exchange Guidelines! .Since everyone is excited to get tickled by a Teapotter, here are a few guidelines. Make sure to read them all.
1. You will be receiving a short pm from me on Sunday the week after the challenge - so that will be Sunday 2nd May. It's a holiday weekend here; I should get the messages sent, but allow me grace till Monday just in case.
It will be short and will simply say in the subject line: You tickle........
Inside the pm it will give you the SCSer's name that you are to send your card to.
If you do not receive a pm from me by the evening of Monday 3rd May, please do contact me in case I messed up.
2. Please mail your card shortly after you have received word from me regarding who you are tickling! Everyone is excited and looking forward to getting their card! If you cannot get your card off in the mail for some reason please let me know.
3. When you receive your card from a Fellow Teapotter, please send a pm to that person so they know their card has been received or post a comment in the Tell a Teapotter About Your Tickle thread located HERE.You can even do both!! If links are broken again - the Tell a Teapotter thread is sticky, always at the top, in this section of the forum: Teapot Tuesday Extras.
4: I do a random draw to assign each participant for another Teapotter to send to, just in case you're wondering. I do track who sends to whom each month, and if you get the same person twice in a row I'll toss their number back in and draw again, but otherwise it's totally random.
~~~~~~~~~~Mailing International Tickles~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For those of you who get an international tickle, please don't feel that you have to send anything extra, or even your actual tickle card if it's bulky enough to incur extra postage. It's also getting more complicated as customs forms may be required, so keep it easy. Try to keep your mailing to a regular envelope! I know any of us will be thrilled just to receive one of your lovely cards and a happy hello with no extras. I think most of us say "just a card" in our sign-ups, anyway. I can tell you that since ALL mine are international, I try to keep within what I know classes as a large envelope at the most.
The "helping hand" came about because someone said that she so enjoys participating in the Tickle and loves sending some little extras but sometimes struggles to know what the recipient would really like and use. I know some of us are happy with anything - but I have to say I really appreciate a little input as to what the recipient would especially like, in case it's something I happen to have. So while I am sure you will be happy with anything, it does help some of us to have an idea what to send!! In this post is a short list of items.
When you sign up, you can choose to mention up to three things on that list as being things that are "you", and which you will enjoy using. This isn't to say that you will get them - but if the person tickling you needs a little help, it will give them a helping hand! And if you don't want to pick anything from the list, the person tickling you will do their Teapotter best as they always do.
And if you are happy just to receive a card (many of us have received so many wonderful extras that we're still busy trying to use them up!), mention that when you sign up. Any indications of just a card or helping hand tips are included when I PM the assignments.
Please remember to respect angel policies.

I will be #17 if someone has a birthday coming up....otherwise I will sit this one out OR I would be happy to send a Clean and Simple card from my stash (in keeping with the Jane Austen Theme) .
I am 21 I am not big ocean cards.... so you can do beach one. Special Note I like Vintage style images but, please send images Dr Sonja house because she is my craft partner and buddy! Thanks Linda
I'll jump in at #22 - and just a card will do . . . . . though a surprise is always appreciated. Tickles often come in handy when a challenge calls for things not in my stamp / die cut collection.

Linda, people make their cards BEFORE they know who they are sending to. They make it based on the challenge theme, so if you would not be happy to receive a card based on the theme, I would suggest that you don't take part that month. It's also not really realistic to expect that someone sending to you will spend extra postage to send extras (which are a voluntary bonus) to a different address.
What a great challenge - thank you Susan. I'm sure all of us enjoyed our reading time in the gallery too.
All PMs sent. I think I included addresses for anybody who needed them, please contact me if you have any problems.
Remember that post is still a bit erratic, so make sure to let the person who sent to you know when their card arrives.
Thanks for all you do Sabrina! The TEApotter reboot and Tickle a Teapotter has been a great success with many more taking part each month. You keep it all together with your behind the scenes activities. We appreciate you!
