I got my first card today from **ScareyFaerie**. It is so cute!! I love the giraffe. And I do love that it can sever a lion’s head. I never knew! ---

I keep forgetting to mention I got mine from **floatygimpy** like two days ago. It’s very amusing; it’s a picture of a Royal Canadian Mounted Policeman, actually mounted on his horse with a full uniform and all and a banner, looking pompous as all get-out. 🙂 Thanks! I saw two of mine have been received. Not fair that Silenus wins; maybe mine were going farther! ---

And I think post 95 establishes that **Elendil’s Heir** was the first to get all three of his set (for which we can all be thankful, given the whining we had to endure last year… 😉 ) I think **labtrash** wins the prize for fastest delivery: two days for his card to reach **ShelliBean**! ---

Doesn’t seem fair, do it - you being so terrifically prompt out the gate and all! And I’ve got a “Cobbler’s children have no shoes” thing going on myself.
