International Mice, if you sent me an address, your cards were mailed today.
The postmistress stamped them all and wouldn't give them back...I hadn't done a return address...and I was going to an appointment...so the two of us hastily scribbled a sparse return address. I will pm my address to you when you are ready to return your cards. Sorry!
Domestic Mice, I'll mail yours Wednesday.
Everyone else who hasn't sent an address.....well, I'm waiting. *tap, tap, tap..* (that's a little booted mouse foot)

I'm so excited about this cute deck. I hope we can get pictures posted of all the cards so those of us who don't get it can at least see how it all turned out. So far it's going along great.
Pix will definitely be posted- I also hope to produce a printable deck. Still looking for technical assistance. But not actively...too much to keep up with getting this off the ground.

Ok, I have just been going over the whole thread, to make sure I understood the assignment. And oh bummer, I realize I can't actually make a picture and paste it on the card. I had such a great idea for a mouse sculpture and then making a photograph and... well... lol! Guess not...
Take a photo, print it. Put a thin piece of paper over the image and draw pencil lines around the picture. Then follow gregory's directions below.
But I also have an idea which does involve drawing. I guess I just have to hope that I can draw it the way I see it in my head .
Or do this
And also, do we have to use markers? Or can we also use just pencils? I am not sure if I have or can find any waterproof markers that will stick.
Try out your markers first and see if you have something. Or you can use pencil. I will seal the image with an acrylic spray (or something else to seal it) Or I can ink your drawing if you like. Or I can find out postage to send you a water resistant marker. We'll figure out something!
And then one last question, the cards we get send, are those the same as US Games used to sell to make your own deck, with the RWS plaid backs? Because I could start scribbling on some of my own then that I still have (somewhere... I hope...*looks around frantically*).
I believe they are the same.

Oy, gerroff. I might like your card too much and abandon mine. And mine will be so beautiful if/when I get it right
Remember, Little Mice, you can collect 'n trade 'em! If you want to try your hand at someone else's card choice, ask them if they'll let you do the "second" of theirs.

Let's not forget, we have three months, and Feretian instructed us specifically to take our tyme and make hundreds of revisions.
Right-o, or your lovely creations will languish in the stinky ferret room for months while everyone else gets to keep creating!
She really is SO helpful. :~)
Do I detect a note of flippancy? Hmmmm?

And by the way, shouldn't I focus on my own cards anyway? I still don't have a good idea for the Eight of Pentacles...
Think of what mice have to do for work. There's stuff they have to do every day, day in and day out, just like any blue collar worker. Put yourself in a mouse's shoes. Or boots.
