An Etsy buyer from The Destiny of Things left me this little note:
These are super fun and exactly what I was looking for! (I also enjoyed
the other random goodies they were packed with.) I plan on incorporating
them into a fortune teller's table collage on a furniture piece I am
refinishing.
A fortune teller's table collaged with these fortunes! I want to see that! I wonder if it's going to be like Ouija board style. So curious!
If you need a full set of these I've sorted them, so there are one of each fortune of 52 cards, like a deck of cards, available here

This is a new idea that an Etsy buyer has told me about, which gives me the idea of using them for bathroom wall paper! So fun, so inspirational!

Other ideas Etsy buyers have told me about and how I've used them:
1. table confetti for Twilight Zone parties
2. gift tags for fortune party gifts, they just slip right on to twine or ribbon.
3. to slip into napkins for a fortune birthday party.
4. slip into Christmas or birthday cards for a little fun or what I call card confetti!
5. filler for party favors for fortune themed parties or weddings.
6. great ice breaker when slipped into cocktail napkins for a little surprise fun!
7. pinata filler for fortune filled lucky pinata fun!
8. easy DIY mini garland for any fortune related party like lucky bon voyage or retirement.
9. Swami and Madame X replacement fillers for the vintage napkin dispenser machines!

Saying Goodbye: I have my own stash of these and I use them almost daily as party of my "thank you" package with most orders. I slip them into cards for all occasions and into napkins at parties.
My "thank you" package items vary from season to season, but I always try to include lucky fortune stuff! Above is an example, available here
There is a slightly different sample at each shop, try a shop search using "fortune" and you'll see each varying one at each shop.

What I Learned:
1. Some of my hoard is becoming very popular! It's very surprising and inspiring! I would have never thought that some of my hoard would become our shops "best sellers!"
2. As the years go by, my dehoarding journey has become less painful, confusing and stressful and more enjoyable and even fun!
3. So I must say that working through and practicing letting go of my hoard one item at a time is helping me break my hoarding habits.
4. I still have set backs, but they are becoming less and less as I find other ways to deal with my stress, disappointments and loss.
Just in case you need a stack of 500 of these to cover a large piece of furniture or use as wall paper or fill up your Swami or Madame X napkin dispenser machine, they are available here

How well do you think the quote below pertains to making art too?
"You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another
dimension - a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of
mind. You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things
and ideas. You've just crossed over into the Twilight Zone"---Opening narration of Seasons 4&5
