What I've been working on this week

I've been working on ATCs and 4 x 4 inch square art cards (this size kind of remind me of drink coasters! )

The first pic shows the ATCs I made for the 4 Seasons Swap-bot Swap (2 sets).

The rest of the pics are 10 of the 16 4x4s I'm making for upcoming swaps at Yahoo ArtSquares_ATCs_AlteredArt group. The themes are Autumn Leaves (I've featured my favourite Autumn themed poems), Angels , Vintage Christmas (the one I've finished is called "The Christmas Stockings"), and Travel Journal. I'm very pleased with what I've done so far! I wish I had a scanner to post photos, but for now I will have to manage with the digital camera (Dad's but it lives at my house!), though I don't always takes great pics!

Between the injured ankle and finances, my recent swaps were quite behind (fini8shed, packaged but not posted). I think I alerted everyone and I do believe all my swaps have finally gotten mailed. I keep having that stomache dropping feeling that someone has been forgotten, but I think it's OK. I will stick to ATCs and 4x4s for swapping on Swap-bot, some other kinds can get expensive (postage more than supplies!)

School is coming up soon for Emma. She isn't too thrilled about back to school (grade 7!). I think she will find that most of her classmates have had a leap in development over the summer as she has. Gosh, once they head into the tween years, it all just flies by and I swear she is changing daily (God knows her moods turn on a dime!). I hope this is a fun year for her, as well a good one academically. : )
