Here are the ones I got in the trade:


We are planning an ATC show of our collections for Sept 29 through Nov.14 at Art from Scrap in Santa Barbara. We are all excited about it. "Swap not Sold" is the name of the show. We will also have some ATC's available to trade with people that stop by.

But before our ATC gathering today I went to Penny's, a.k.a. Penny's Playhouse, for a birthday lunch. It is Penny's birthday and she threw a great party for herself and us. She made us all our own paper house. We had to guess which one was ours.


That was really fun. Beautiful and delicious lunch with of course cupcakes for dessert, made by Barbara. They were great!

We also had a "reveal" due. Susan had given us all small pieces of an unknown picture that we were to make bigger and reproduce in any medium we wanted. It is really cool. Some artist did their square in fabric, some painted, one was hooked and one was done with cut up foam core. My photo does not do it justice.

Here are some pic of Penny's collections
