Altered Art Swaps Keep Coming

This week I received two parcels, one from Ana for The Altered Papers Alphabet ATC swap, Letter D and the other from Diane for the Once a Month Tag Swap 'Christmas'.

Diane's tag has the cutest snowman on it, he looks vintage, love him! Thank-you Diane

I love Ana's packaging

And the ATC 'D for doll' is very clever

Plus Ana sent me some fantastic papers and a feather for future projects!

Thank-you Ana!

Xmas Tag

Christmas Tag for Denise @ .Denise's Delights in her Coffeeberry Cottage. I loved playing with glitter on this one!

I'm thankful for getting my ME time back!

I haven't heard from my swap partner to say whether she has received this tag yet but I'm sure she would have received it by now.

I paper pieced the little turkey, don't you think he's cute!

So talking about thanksgiving, I am thankful that UNI has finished, yippee! So far I've received all High Distinctions but I think my over achiever status ended with the last subject, it's somewhere between a credit and a distinction.

So you know what that means? Watch out craft room here I come!!

I look forward to catching up with some serious stitching, there's lots to do!

Thank-you to all my readers that have hung in with me while my blog posts were few and far between, 2013 will definitely be a more blogolicious year!

Altering Things

These past few weeks I've enjoyed a wee bit of papercrafting, I love to do these little projects everynow and again and there's been some fun swaps to be involved in.

Tee from The Altered Paper holds lots of great swaps, the most recent swap was for an altered tag and the theme was Sun Bathing Beauties, so here's my creation made for Mercedes @ All Things Pretty...

I've even sent a message in a wee bottle!
Mercedes creates the most gorgeous things, I'd love to visit her studio and you can too if you check out her blog.

Tomorrow I'll show you the ATC I made for Amy for the Alphabet ATC Swap, it's very cute!
