A Canadian Swap Eh?!

On this blog, there is a handmade swap going on, just for resident's of Australia. I will admit I was bummed, because this sounded like so much fun. You send two bags in the mail, one filled with goodies, and one empty. The "owner" of the blog collected all the bags, divided up the treats, and sent a bag back to you filled with goodies from all sorts of different people. This got me thinking that this would be a great idea for a card swap!

So, here are the details:

1. Let me know if you would like to participate by May 4th, 5 pm MST, by leaving a comment on this post.
2. Once I have a tally of how many people will participate, I will let you know the number of handmade cards that need to be made.
3. I will collect the handmade cards (either sent to me by mail, or given to me in person) by May 31st.
4. I will divide them all up, and send you back (either by mail, or in person) by mid June.
5. How about a theme? Let's make all these cards birthday cards!
6. Participants from Canada only please :)

Hope you'll play along!

What? It's true!

No fear, I hadn't fallen off the face of the earth these past two months, I have been hanging out here. My other blog space. Filling my time with knitting, baking, doll making, quilt making... a multitude of crafts. There have been cards in there too, they just haven't lurked back over here yet.

I've been feeling guilty about this space though, knowing it has been blank for so long. So, if any of you out there still have this space on your reading list, hopefully this post will find you pleasantly shocked today!

Last month a new group of Stampers started up with me, in a club called "Stampaholics Anonymous". Our second "meeting" is tonight, with a twist. I had heard through the grapevine that some would like to see how I put a card together, from scratch. How do I take that 8.5 by 11" sheet and turn it into a card? Tonight, I am hoping to show them - lol. It feels strange preparing for a class when really, nothing is prepared. Other than a technique I have layed out. Should be interesting.

I promised the group I would use this space to post up techniques and tidbits for them. Leave me little notes to keep me spurred on - I love little messages, and it might encourage me to lurk over here more often!
