I think I just hit a new record of swaps sent in one day. It took me about 2 hours to get them all together but I sent out 23 swaps. Every time I do it I think that I am sending out a little piece of happiness with each envelope. I love to receive snail mail that is not a bill or junk mail so I can only hope that others feel the same way.
This particular entry is an ATC that I just did for one of the swaps and as you can tell my new style is to use my digi stamps and copic markers to create something great. It takes me a few minutes to color each one but I think they really make my ATC's pop. This one was for "what's in a name?" and these have become my favorite swaps. This one required you have a "spring" type theme, so here she is. The image is from The Paper Shelter. I mixed some small letters to create the name to match the background theme colors.
I am sitting here listening to a replay of Candace Glover and "Lovesong". To date that is my favorite performance she did on American Idol. I am so happy she won. As Randy Jackson said so frequently, she could sing ANYTHING!! That is how great her voice is.

Hello
Happy Sunday
As you can see I am still enthralled with ATC's. I have been having so much fun creating these cute little works of art. I am definitely an instant gratification person. So these are right up my alley. And I love to trade them as well. I do most of my trading on Swapbot and ATC's for all. If you are not familiar with either of these sites and into ATC's I suggest that you take a look.
I made stuffed bell peppers last night. As any of my friends know it is very difficult for me to cook for one, or even 2. I have been single forever and Daniel has been in college for over 3 years. So, I should have gotten the hang of it by now. Unfortunately I have not. So I ended up making 8 bell peppers. It is so easy to make them and they are quick, except for the baking time. But I can craft during that time.
The ATC I made has an image from Mayzy Art. She use to have a shop on Etsy but now she has her own website. I love her little images. She was colored with my Copic markers and I added some silver metallic accents to the headband and umbrella. I originally did this image because I had a circus themed swap to do but decided on another as this one was a little too much to fussy cut for 10 partners. The background is actually embossed with powders from "Sparkle and Sprinkle". I went to the Scrapbook convention in Grapevine last weekend and spent too much money, again. (A real surprise, Right???) They have some great stuff and I love their glitter. It is actually pretty reasonably priced considering the quality. And what girl doesn't like glitter.
In any case, I hope you like this little creation. I need to get back to crafting. I am in the process of coloring at least 20 images today. On number 11 now. I hope I make it.
Until Later,
