I AM SUCH A LUCKY LADY

As part of the Marie Antoinette Mail Art Group, we just had two wonderful swaps, one was a soldered pendant and the other was a rose bib necklace. I received mine and feel like a queen. I was lucky enough to receive mine from two of my favorite artists. I thought I would share with you what I received. The first one is from Deborah, she is such a talented artist, check out her blog http://www.bearhavenbears.blogspot.com/ and she has an Etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/landofnodstudios. Her work is just amazing. The second necklace that I received is from Robin, I have always loved her art and this was the first time I received her art in a swap. I love the colors and all the details she used. Her work is always beautiful. She has just started a blog http://onceuponapinkmoon.blogspot.com/ and she also has an Etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/ltlblonde. I love both of my necklaces so much and will treasure them. Thank you Deborah and Robin, you both have made me so happy.

VALENTINE TRINKET BOXES I MADE FOR MY ETSY SHOP

I had so much fun making the match boxes, that I decided to make a couple of Valentine Trinket Boxes, these were really fun to make. They are covered in pink ledger paper, have shells, mother of pearl heart, dresden wings, vintage velvet leaves, ribbons and flowers with rhinestones. I will be listing these in my Etsy shop.

SOLDERED PENDANT NECKLACE I MADE FOR DEBORAH

This was for a Marie Antoinette Mail Art Group Swap. We had to do a soldered pendant. You should see the pendant that Deborah made for me, so I had to come up with with lots of bling. I will post pictures when I get her beautiful necklace. I hope Deborah likes it. It was a fun swap.

NECKLACE I MADE FOR HEIDI

I made this necklace for a swap in the group Marie Antoinette Mail Art. It is for Heidi, I hope she likes it. It was my first and I really enjoyed making this for her.

Petite Inspiration Box Swap Valentine's Edition Swap

I finished my three boxes for the Petite Inspiration Box Swap Valentine's Edition. This is my first swap outside of the Marie Antoinette Mail Art Group. I saw this swap on the Speckled Egg's blog and signed up with Heather. I really enjoyed making these boxes for the three ladies of my group and gathering beautiful items for the inside. I have sent them off to the ladies and I hope they like them. I love Valentines Day, but then again what holiday don't I like.

MY VALENTINE ATC'S

I am hosting my first ever swap in the Marie Antoinette Mail Art Group. I am so excited. Here are some of the cards I made.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

I want to wish everyone a very Joyous and Healthy New Year. I am so thankful for so many things. I hope 2010 is a great year for everyone.
