Some of My ATC's

An ATC is an artist trading card. They're fun little pieces of art that anyone can do. After my friend Joy from Joy To The Blog introduced me to Swap-bot, I got addicted. I've had a couple of people ask, so I will post a few of my ATC's here for public consumption.

I've scanned in a copy of every ATC I've made (except for the one I sent to Joy!). Some of them I'm proud of, some I'm embarassed by, but it's fun to see how I've progressed.

My very first was about me & my bi-polar/depression/anxiety disorders.



This I made for my friend Lynnette while she was going thru a tough divorce.



My first Swap-bot trade was muppet themed.



Here's a few others.















The last one I think is the prettiest one so far. My ATC's are still very simplistic, but it's fun to learn as I go. Hopefully I'll be able to get together with Joy & Diane once soon starts so they can teach me some of their mad skillz!

BTW, you should check out Diane & Joy's blogs, they both have awesome Etsy shops, tell 'em Mimi sent ya!

Where I Spend My Days

I thought I'd give everyone a look at where I spend time blogging, going to school & surfing the web.



1. Frankenstein magnet from my friend Diane from Good Mourning, Glory.

2. Cute Overload Calender

3. The beeper for Oskar's collar. We do NOT use it to shock him.

4. Easter bunny duck.



The bigger things on my windowsill, a Willow Tree "Free Spirit" figure that Chris bought to cheer me up one day, Bert the hippo (unfortunately he does't fart liked Abbey's on NCIS), a love note from Chris, Pookey bear from Garfield, and a pic of Chris on Lake Superior when we were dating.



Chococat & a necklace from my friend Jenn at Delightfully Cliche.



These are the little guys that live on the windowsill. A Fisher Price doll head. I like her cause her head's messed up like mine! Also Ted, who was my grandmother's before she died & Iris the timid monster.

There you have it. Why don't you show & tell where you do your blogging from??
