Ladies n Fans Collection

Hello :
Here are few ATCs I have been working on for exchange. Nostalgic and called Ladies n Fans Collection. Enjoy!

FABRIC & LACE ATCs

Today just seem to be the perfect day.... to re-create my duffle bag I haven't used in a year. I need to make a few repairs..but thought I would share with you the Fabric & Lace ATCs that I created and will put in clear pouches. I have seen quite a few ATC handbags...I just want to customize my own.

Love is........

Here's my latest ATC creation. I made this one while watching Big Brother's 9 on the telly(smile)

Sew Happy!

I just have to share with you..the most wonderful surprise I received the other day.

My Hubby , David, came home with a Brother Digital Sewing Machine. I am quite thrilled as I have been wanting one to make some vintage styled blouses, cloth dolls, and sewing borders and designs on my ATC Cards. My world for my cloth dolls is beginnning to open up now...there are so many online cloth doll courses I am anxious to participate in.

I have been browsing over vintage patterns... for blouses ......as I want to create from old patterns and add with new style patterns to achieve an Altered Art Couture look.

I must say I have been busy keeping my mind busy . It helps me become a brave soul to fight against depression from suffering with chronic pain in my lower back and legs fromDegenerative Arthritis.... of the lower lumbar region.

My Dr.'s encourage me to keep active with my crafting..it's therapeutic and brings a smile to my face when I'm down .

It's wonderful to share with others ....the goings-on in my life. I have so many nice crafters for friends since I became a member with Art chix Studio and Leonie Pujol's ATC club. The emails from my new friends are so inspiring/encouraging .....and the wonderful comments of my work are appreciated.

I love exchanging giftees with ATCs and craft swaps.

Well I must get back to practicing drawing faces and make some more ATC's to send to craft traders . I have a few crafty ladies I trade with every month.

So I Must get busy.

By for now,

I am creating these ATC's for trading with Janice Stocker and Pam North with Leonie Pujol's ATC Club. Every month I trade with Janice and Pam. It's sooo wonderful to get their gorgeous ATC cards in the mail. Brings sheer Joy. We write each letters giving updates on our lives and trade embellishments. FUN! FUN!
