I got my second card today, this one from **TheTerribleTako**. I think it’s my favourite card yet. I’ve been feeling a bit blue lately and the doodle of the octopus (complete with suckers!) looking into the aquarium made me grin from ear to ear! Many thanks! I wonder if any that I sent have been received? ---

i got a card from Future Londonite yesterday - it was nice to find it in my mailbox. That’s my third card - yay! Don’t forget, we are taking a summer hiatus on the cards - but will be back in late August. ---

Octopuses can be pretty silly when it comes to aquariums.

Couldn’t have done it without y’all! 😃 I would like to do it again, but in August or after. I’ll probably have this thread closed after another week or so (to allow for stragglers) and then open a new thread. And don’t worry - if you come back for Part II, I will try my best not to give you repeaters. ---
