Do-Over! and LOTS of mail:))

oh boy... I did something today that I was thinking of doing
for the past few days...which was re-make new Daffodil
ATCs for the swap I was sending out this week!

off to Florida

off to Texas

I really fell hard for the two daffs that I painted so much so that

I couldn't bear to give them up!

I just couldn't get myself to put them in the envelope.

I like the new ones I created but it was easier to pack them up with

a card and send them off! LOL! I do get attached to my art.

And I 'm sure I'm not the first person this has happened to (?).

Now for zines from the ZINE SWAP -

I am so delighted. I have been getting so much mail these days

and wanted to share some images of things I have received!

how great are these stamps?

I make 5 and sent to five people. Five people

mailed me their zines.

 Here are first four of the five zines I received and everyone was so nice

and sent some little notes and goodies along with their zine. 

 Miss Lemon who created the one on the lower right corner

sells her zines on Etsy

The last zine came a few days later and I love how she decorated

the envelope with all the bar codes and "MAIL"s. She also send through

a little pouch of stamps, which I really enjoy!

THEN

...more mail came!

I'll write about it in my next blog entry.

I've got more photos to take:)

I'm so grateful for all the wonderful people who have

written and mailed to me.

My heart and my mailbox are happy!

Good night xo TGIF

Some New Cards and Sunday News

I made up some additional Valentine's Day cards (and one thank you). I have a nice LOVE stamp that I used a couple of different times. The flower I used in the green thank you card is from Stampin' Up that I bought from Barbara/Marji. This is a great way to wind down and get creative with quick results.

I am going to start painting again. I just joined the South Lake Art League (http://www.southlakeartleague.com/) so I'll need to start getting out the brushes again. There is going to be a photography show at the League this week and I'll be helping with hanging the show. The woman arranging that told me that there were quite a bit of entries. So, I am looking forward to seeing the photos that are entered.

After church today Joey and I went to the farmers market with Hope, Rick and the kids. We stopped in at Sugar Mama's Sweet Shop. Boy, they have such delicious cupcakes. I took home a Key Lime cupcake. Joey and the girls ate theirs right there. I hope they have great success, their treats are so good! Later, Joey and I went and picked up his friend Tony and I took the two of them to the lake. Joey and Tony have such a great time together and Tony is such a nice kid, I am so glad Joey has such a good friend in him.
