Some neat things I've received in the mail!

Tracy at Seaside Enchantment had a contest several months ago and I won! I wanted to post the prize I received and thank her for it again! Thanks Tracy.


Tracy knows I love paper crafts and scrapbooking and the prize she picked for me was just right. I've been using the the paper and other items in my ATC and scrapbook pages. Here are three ATC I made using the paper from the packet as the background.




I did a swap of ephemera with Mel a friend from Flickr. She does great ATC. She commented on my 40's style ATC and I sent her some of the magazines where I get my images and she sent me all of this:



Among the things she sent were two booklets. One was a vacation book from 1941. I told her I loved 40's vintage items and I would include it with my collection. Here it is on the shelf in my kitchen. . I like to put up different displays through out the year. This summer I had my collection of vintage items on display. Now it's time for a fall display.



The other booklet was about cheese. I thought it went nicely with this little dairy box.



Thanks to you both! Now to get around to some more ATC using these neat things!

Swaps, Swaps, & Swaps

I thought I would like swapping and I was right. Over the last month I've done two ATC swaps and a 1" square swap. Here they are:

Here is the 1" square swap. Isn't it lovely? Thanks to Grace & Becky for organizing the swap.



I also did an ATC swap with Beth. It was her first swap and my first ATC swap.

Here is her ATC. I love it. It is so charming. Thanks Beth. Let's do it again. I'm ready to start working on some new ones for you!


And here is mine. I hope you liked it Beth.



My friend Maggie Ann and I also decided to do an ATC swap. Here are her ATC. Aren't they lovely. Thank you Maggie Ann. Each has a bible verse on the back.












Here are the ATC I swapped with Maggie Ann. I hope she liked them.

Charmed Inchies Swap



This past April, Linda at Grace Filled Moments hosted an inchie swap. The theme was "Charmed". I was so excited when I received my charmed inches in the mail in June. They are all so lovely. THANKS to Linda for hosting the swap and for the ladies who participated THANKS to you TOO! Linda is having a new swap this month. The theme is A to Z. What fun! I have letters A, O, & T. Oh the fun to come up with some new ideas for the swap.
