Splitcoaststampers.com - the world's #1 papercrafting community
You're currently viewing Splitcoaststampers as a GUEST. We pride ourselves on being great hosts, but guests have limited access to some of our incredible artwork, our lively forums and other super cool features of the site! You can join our incredible papercrafting community at NO COST. So what are you waiting for?
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 29th November. 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 30th November 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!!
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.
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. 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. Please remember to respect angel policies.
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.

Thank you to everyone who took part - there were some beautiful cards.
Thank you to Sonja for hostessing.
Since nobody took up the option of being inspired by a Japanese zen garden, here is one for you (click to enlarge - hopefully next month we can insert images again).
I think I have sent addresses to everyone who needs one. Contact me if you have any problems. With the holiday season approaching mail may be slower than normal, but let me know if you are concerned your card hasn't arrived and I'll follow it up. Do make sure to acknowledge receipt of your tickle card, either by PM and/or on the Tell a Teapotter about Your Tickle thread.
****2021 Tickle a Teapotter***
We still have vacancies for guest hostesses next year. All you need to do is provide the challenge write-up and a photo of your chosen teapot.
If you are interested, the thread with all the info is HERE
Sabrina, I think I need to create a Zen garden. I'll bet a lot of people could use one for 2020 because of the Corona Virus quarantine. Thanks for the photo!
It was such fun hosting the Teapot Challenge! This past year was my first time to do so and it was easy...Sabrina sends you reminders, too. I'd encourage you to try it!
