Trivial Pursuits ATC swap




This is another ATC swap I participated in recently. They are 3 1/2 by 2 1/2 in size. We were suppose to represent each category in the Trivial Pursuits game. I choose to do mine for things that I feel will represent the future in each of the categories like
Obama- History
Twilight- Arts and Literature
Favre- Sports
Sandra Bullock- Entertainment
Global warming- Science
Chili- Geography
I was hoping my whole collection would go to one person as you can see the idea was to complete the pie like plaing the game.

MARY ENGELBREIT TEAPOT SWAP






















































I wasn't quite sure about this chunky chipboard swap "without pictures" but I had such a fun time putting it together I worked on it for nearly a week. We were suppose to mimick Mary Engelbreit style. I hope I am so what on and everyone likes it.

Louise Brooks ATC Swap

Spent the weekend scrapbooking with friends in Ocala, thank god for Kelly unloading and loading all my stuff I couldn't do it without her she is the greatest. Took me 4 days to get over a stomach virus "I Guess" feeling much better today. I have finished my Louise Brooks ATC swap that Don will mail out to the UK today. This was an interesting swap as I knew nothing about this silent film actress. She had quite an interesting life and it was neat researching her careers and history. My mom would be proud! LOL

Inchies

I joined a new yahoo group a few weeks ago called "thesumofallatcs." This is a pretty neat group in that they do alot of swaps nationwide. This is the first one that I participated in called "inchies." These are 1 inch x 1 inch squares with a specific theme. This months swap theme was months of the year whether it be about the seasons or holidays. I found it very hard to work with a 1 inch square but after I got started it was kind of fun. I feel that most of the artist in this group are more abstract so we will see what I get back in a month or so. I feel mine are too realistic but it was a challenge. My favorite is the Easter Egg! What do you think!
