*Kathy just sent me this picture of her Mom and Dad together and I LOVE IT!! *This is the only picture I have of them and will treasure it!*

~Interesting Vintage Photographs!~

I always seem to find a few really interesting photographs in my search for collage pieces to use on ATC's....


*This one is really cool...Notice the pet parrot sitting on top of it's cage!!*


*I found this photo on a "Vintage 1950's" site!! Definitely ALOT of 'comedic possibilities' for this one!! Hehe!!*

*My First Attempt At Making A "Matchbox Shrine"!!

*This is the "ELVIS" themed Matchbox Shrine I made for a trade with someone!
Not too bad for a first attempt, if I don't say so myself!!*

*Some New ATC's*

*"Mixed Media" ATC Swap* (Collage work with acrylic paint overlay)

*For a one-on-one trade I did with someone! (Yes, that's Abby's head! Haha!!)


*"All Bottled Up!!" ATC Swap*


*Another one for the "All Bottled Up!" Swap! I thought this bottle really looked like a "Bong" and wouldn't it have been funny to put a tiny picture of Michael Phelps
swimming around in there?!! Haha!!*

~These were such FUN to make I almost hated to part with them!~

~"Jellybeans For Breakfast"~

~I was searching around on the internet for pictures to copy and use in a swap themed "Childhood Memories" and came across this book I used to read to Misty when she was little!

~I've such fond memories of hauling her in the wagon down to where the Bookmobile was parked, filling it full of books, then hurrying home to begin reading them! We both were excited to open each book and explore it's pages!! No wonder the kid STILL loves to read books till this day!

****~"We'll ride our bikes to the moon, go barefoot all the time, live in a treehouse in the woods, AND eat jellybeans for breakfast!"~****
