I'd been thinking of several things I wanted to share on my blog and now they have flown right out of my head.I suppose I should just post the couple of things I have made for swaps via swapbot.com until I can remember the other stuff.There is a reason why I say my life is peacefully chaotic or is it actually chaotically peaceful??? Anyhow...I joined two snail mail swaps this month.The first a turkey "skinny"...titled Gobble ,Gobble , of course! And the other an artist trading card with "pin -up girls' as the theme.I chose Bettie Page as my  pin -up.She was a gutsy lady,very risque for her times. I enjoyed making these with the very limited materials I have so far unpacked. I need to get moving with arranging that little room so I can have my materials handy. But for now I make do.=)

Showing gratitude, a thank you card,a skinny ,my kitties and....

When I was a child I was taught to show gratitude when someone did something nice for me or I was given a gift, no matter how small tthe gift or gesture.The important thing is to show your appreciation. That lesson has stuck with me.I like showing my appreciation,whether it's with a simple call,a big hug or when possible a hand made card. Last month my very dear friend,Carolina,who is my mother's best friend and is like a second mother to me ,bought me a cell phone. I was very much in need of one and I am so grateful to her for adding me to the family plan she has my mother and my daughter on. Now I can be reached at any time if my kids need something or if Caro, my husband or my mother are looking for me....hmmmm pehaps I am too easily reachable ???=) I am enjoying that phone! I like that I can  look at my facebook (lol) or update my twitter (I still forget to do that!) while I ride the bus to and from  work.  The point of this post howev...

Witch ATC's and more....

These are ATC'S I made in celebration of Samhain or more commonly known as Halloween.The little girl witch was sent as a swap on swap-bot.com The other two i'm keeping unless someone is interested in trading for them. Of course whenever I make ATC's,Kylie joins me and makes some of her very own. These are Kylie's creations: Aren't they lovely ,sparkley and colorful?! This is Halloween week and I am so excited! it is my favorite holiday! What are you cooking up this Halloween?

PEACE ATC'S

P E A C E I maded this Peace themed ATC for a swap on swap-bot.com. I wanted to keep it real simple with the word peace standing out,thus no other embellishments.Usually I embellish the heck out everything. I love the look of water colors so that is what I used for the background. The person I sent the card to seemed to like it. L I V E P E A C E B U T T E R F L Y I LOVE THE BOLD ORANGE COLORS ON THIS CARD!
