@Sharon gosh you poor thing, it sounds like it has been a hard time. Your Dad sounds like a hero - I bet he drives you all mad cleaning gutters and all sorts! I hope all is well now.
@Empty_of_Clouds goodness please don't feel that way, everyone loves to receive everyone else's unique work - it is a learning curve, and we will always compare ourselves, I know it is easy to say not to and less easy to do - I bet your exchange was great. And if you keep a record of it - I find Instagram so handy in this respect, it is really encouraging to see your own improvement as the time passes. It is such a lovely way of building friendships across the globe too :-)
@fridzleah , I hope you are feeling better now - don't worry at all about lateness, it doesn't matter a jot... looking forward to receiving your beautiful work :-)
@Mabel, aw thanks so much, so glad you have received!
Looking forward to the next one now! :-)

Best, Claire
