Easter Monday SHOWCASE
Still more fab Zettie ATC's they are never ending... lol....and still more to come.
Thank you to everyone who took part.







Thank you to everyone who took part.








Why do they put pictures of criminals up in the Post Office?
What are we supposed to do, write to them?
Why don't they just put their pictures on the postage stamps so the postmen can look for them while they deliver the mail ?
Hope that you have all had a lovely Easter break and lots of chocolate.

If anyone is still wandering who won my OWOH please see post below.
If you are looking for this months Vintage ATC challenge check out 2 posts below some of you have been so quick to get yours finished leaving a link ...please go check them out.
Nearly forgot,
Sadly we had 2 sets of Zetti ATC's go astray in the post one from Canada and the other from just 30 mins by car from where I live...possibly someone decided they would start collecting ATC's but didn't put in any swaps for them.
I do not know if it helps but could you please write these big in ya face words on ya envie... 'NO VALUE'
Some of our girls helped me to replace Jaqi's set THANK YOU and I am now writing to some of you to help with Stacy's.... I have just heard she never got her swaps and that was because sadly I didn't receive hers.
bye for now.

APRIL SWAP 'TIL YOU DROP AND BLOG GIVE-AWAY
April is with us Spring is in the air, enjoy.
What's the theme and who is our talented guest designer for April, well if you cannot guess by this photo below
I am a self taught mixed media artist living in Virginia just outside of Washington DC. Playing with paper, fibers, photography and more is my idea of fun.
If it holds still, it might get altered.
Giving items like cutlery, old tins and rusty bits a new life is exciting to me.
Nothing goes to waste.
I have enjoyed making a variety of things since I was a girl.
Creating daily …“playing” as I like to call it … is a kind of therapy for me and helps me keep my balance and feel fulfilled.
When I started blogging back in October 2007 I had no idea the lovely connections I would make all around the globe.
It is a delightful honor to be invited as April’s “Vintage” Guest Designer.
Thank you so much!

I am so happy that Patty agreed to be our GD she is not only talented but is also a very warm and giving person and I am thrilled to have met her in blog land.
