Delivery Time! Trade with Chris from Stale Gum

I've said it before, but I'm woefully behind in sorting the yellow envelopes full of cards that I've received. I manage to keep up (mostly) with sending out cards, but once the cards come in I usually rip open the envelope, check out the cards, then put them aside so that I am able to write a blog post about it.

However, since time is of the essence right now for any college professor, the larger trade envelopes (which result in more typing and/or scanning), often sit to the side while I cherry pick the easier trade envelopes to write about.

This particular package suffered that fate until today. Behold, from early March (!), a trade from Chris at the Stale Gum blog.
