i'm sorry. i've never heard of emphera so i'm asking.

Yes, that's what I mean. This should be a lesson in proofing before posting, especially when posting fatigued. I'm embarrassed...I've corrected everything.

I just received my package from Dorothy and i think what i sent was totally wrong.My understanding of ephemera was vintage paper. Dorothy sent me ribbons and feathers and fabric as well as the paper goods. Its amazing and I want to say thanks and to apologize to my swap partner Mary- i guess i goofed.

Imthenana, This is Dortha here. Ephemera could be a very large range of left over or any items that you can scrap with or do art with including new stuff. At least that's how I've done and received ephemera items before. I also received lots of vintage things from my partner as well and I was very pleased with what I received. I just added lots of extras for you that I thought you'd like too. I'm glad you liked what I sent, and I sent in a box since it all couldn't fit in a 6 x 9 envelope. I started picking out things and just couldn't decide so I just sent it all. Did I go overboard? Thanks, Dortha

Dortha, No no no it was great, just not what i expected. Thanks so much. I was just feeling that what I sent wasn't up to standards. I have had some very bad experiences with this swapping in the few months Ive been participating. Some very welcomed ones too. Oh well live and learn. Take care Lin
