I actually got stuck working today, which is part of the reason I'm giving some more time. I'm not sure if yours is one of those packages, I know I'm still waiting on about 4 entries. I'll let you know when I get home.
Apparently USPS can adjust the delivery dates of things on the fly. My receipt shows "Expected delivery: 12/12/2014"... and USPS site says "On Time - Expected Delivery Day: Monday, December 15, 2014". How the hell is that "On Time"? Stupid postal service and their LIIIIES!!! anywho, mine should be to you sometime today.
[edit] maybe some adverse weather conditions screwed with the mail delivery? stupid earth and its weather patterns.
Okay, everyone. I got the last two packages I was waiting on today. Everything should ship out on Wednesday, although Saturday morning would be the latest. Most of you should get it by Christmas.

Jay 13x-Thank you very much for keeping this tradition alive! I have enjoyed this tremendously each year. I enjoy slapping paint on cards to destroy them as much as anybody and love any opportunity to do so without punishment. The real artists who alter cards amaze me and someday I will retire and have the time to learn how to do this well enough that I can trade/sell to people who want my alters. This gives me a chance to have fun until that day.

I had amnesia once, or maybe twice. I don't remember.
Okay, the envelopes hit the mail today. There are several goodies for all of you in addition to the main exchange. Some people left me cards to distribute to everyone, so I did my best to do that, although I sealed some envelopes before I realized that was the case. Full disclosure: these went in the local post office drop-off slot, which has a 13-ounce rule. Most of these were pretty light, and I've never had a problem mailing an envelope full of cards before (I used to sell a lot of cards on Ebay and never had problems), but I just wanted to give you a heads up that there is an off chance that might be an issue. If it is, they'll be returned to me and I'll mail them again, but I don't think it will be an issue. I don't know if I made any other mistakes, but at the very least I know I didn't accidently mail back any of you your own cards
Also, You're each getting TWO very special presents from a mysterious benefactor. You can thank the benefactor here to show your appreciation, but they asked to remain nameless. To be clear, I am NOT the benefactor, just an intermediary to distribute the gifts.
Please post your goodies here when you get them! My 'Secret Santa' this year was Elemental, you can see the cards he sent me below
I have to admit, the idea of Tromokratis celebrating Hanukkah just makes me giggle.
Holy Card Exchange, Batman. I really like the idea for the Dragon Token. May have to keep that one in my pocket for next year. Make a crap ton of tokens like that.

Suh-weeet! Early thank you to Senior(ita) Mystery Benefactor...and of course Jay for wrangling this craziness.
That Tromo is hysterical!

[edit: i even may get started now, lol]
100% agreed! Who needs dumpy stock tokens when you can have something fun and interesting to actually use ha!
Thank you to mysterious benefactor for the great presents and to those who gave out alters for all. And thank you Slavan K Guiser for the alters! Slavan! Come back to the Crafter's thread! We miss you!
I hope whoever receives my alters isn't full of disappoint. I spent a good couple hours cooking up those alters even if it may not look like it... I have to head to work soon, so I can't take a pic of what I received now. Perhaps Monday when I get a chance to dust off my camera.
PG....I'm glad you like them! Makes me happy that they went to a fellow Clansperson! I can post them up now that they've been received! Which is/are your favorite?
For explanation, I did the first and third sets, my wife did the second set. My son, who usually joins in, declined this year 'cause he didn't feel up to it. However, I hope the cards are useful for you! If nothing else, those tri-lands should be good for some EDH.
Also, thank you, Jay, for being willing to organize this. I'm sure it's a ton of work, but it's awesomely worthwhile for those of us who love it.
Thank you to the mysterious benefactor! Mine haven't come quite yet, but I'm excited for them this week. I LURV getting these in the mail!

My favorite from yours is the Frontier Bivouac. My favorite of the ones from your wife is the Sigiled Paladin. They're very well done. Thanks again Slavan!
Woo Gift Exchange! Hopefully whoever was subjected to my alters receives them shortly & a MAJOR thanks to the mystery benefactor!!
My alters came from JstarfireT and Grant1. That Wayfinder wins all kinds of awards in my book and I love the French Counterspell. Now, I would be a total jerk if I didn't crack those packs and show the goodies that they held...let's just say it's raining gifts for me this year!
Got mine last night, and they are amazing!
Stoogeslap provided Char, Gush, Fact or Fiction, and Cartel Aristocrat. Grant1 provided Counterspell.
Many thanks to the mysterious benefactor who provided the packs! That was a pleasant surprise!
Scans to follow when I get to a scanner... y'all should wait on them, because Stoogeslap did an amazing job!

Glad you like them! I had a Santa Helper (my cat, Chewie), keeping me company while I worked on them, with National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation in the background. Hope you have an awesome Christmas!!!
Oh, & I scanned them already, so here they are (just wanted to wait until they came so I wouldn't kill the surprise).
Got mah lewtz yesterday. I haven't had a chance to really check out everything in the package. Hope I don't miss anyone here (I'm also writing this in the car off of memory). I'll also get pics when I get back.
@Jay13x: Thanks for running this shindig this year. That 'large' bonus hit the nail on the head. I was already packed for our outings so I won't be rocking them until Monday.
@KaiShafroth: I'm pretty sure I got yours. I saw Clan Defiance.... and some others, but I only tried to remember the names to thank y'all.
@grant1: I got a pair of counterspells from you with candy canes. They are hilariously great.
@AH (?): got a Spanish Goblin token from you. Didn't get a chance to really look at it as I was trying to find a name.
@Mysterious Benefactor: I wasn't able to appreciate them fully as my wife immediately cracked them open the moment she saw them. I didn't explore the contents yet, but I can't wait to get back home to look at my haul.
@Aquila Noctis: I'm glad you like it. Those damn things are fun to make.
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Festivus, Happy Winter Solstice, or Happy "Whatever you celebrate" day.

I got my cards few hours ago, perfect timing! I was cooking for Christmas and I got this wonderful surprise!
Special thanks to:
- Jay13x to make this happen,
- serrot_29 for this mind blowing 3D alter, Hey man, I really appreciate it, I heard of 3D cards, but I have never had one!
- The misterious guy who sent the 2 booster packs!
