6 (5 to mail and 1 for yourself)

Bumping this up to remind myself.
I found some inspiration - now mulling it over in my head. I hope the prototype is as pretty as I imagine it to be...

I'm still waiting for inspiration to strike.

Pam - honestly? Your work is always stunning. I mean it. Trust me, I've struggled with coming up with an idea for this one - so many distractions in my life right now.
I'm fully confident you'll come up with a brilliant idea.

I can't wait to see everyone's. Mine is titled "Winter Wonderland". That's all I have for now. LOL!

I'm glad you have so much confidence in me! And thank you for the compliment - I really appreciate the kind words right now. I think I'm just in a rut of some sort and need to get my head back into creating.

Mine are done and will be going postal tomorrow.

Creating keeps me sane.
It's been a rough couple of months for me. Nothing earth-shattering. Something akin to "chinese water torture" (anyone else old enough to remember this concept from our childhood?).
So, I'm actively avoiding negative people. I thought I was doing this before but when I started paying attention, I realized how so many people I surround myself with were consitantly critical of everyone and everything - ugh.

The time I can isolate myself and play with my paper, inks, paints, and such is a wonderful escape.

So looking forward to working on these ATCs!

Eureka! Inspiration has finally hit and it's only taken 5 ink pads, 1 stencil, 2 Distress Markers, a white paint pen, Frosty Film, rhinestones, labels and 3 hours of trial and effort. My room looks like a bomb went off.

What can I say? It takes me a while.

I was just looking for some ideas for the ATCs and came across this cute re-usable frame idea.... maybe I can get Mike to build one

Oh, I like that. Wonder if he'd make 2 of them???

Isn't that the 7 Gypsies tray? Those came out several years ago but I see they are still about $20. I've seen them on sale at JoAnn though.

I'll have to see how much work it'd be.... but I'd think once the pieces were cut, it wouldn't be hard to assemble...

And..... I got a start on my ATCs already... yay!!! have to let some wet stuff dry and then finish them tomorrow night, maybe

Done! Now to package and mail!

Oh how I love it when you get past the "WHAT was I thinking?!?!" part.
Last one is drying!
