They are now having ATC swaps at the local Archivers here in town-yay! Before this, I’ve only participated in online and personal swaps, so this should be fun! I was told to make 10, which means I’ll get 9 new cards for my collection. (one is for the store) The theme: “Endless […]

“She Holds On To Time”
A Box of New Year Thoughts
I gathered some pretty things and collected some New Year thoughts. I’m not celebrating the coming of 2011 as much as I’m REJOICING that I made it THROUGH 2010. Some of you know what I mean. You probably have many hopes and dreams for this year, too. I’m going […]
“Secret Prayer” Bookmarkers

Valentine’s Day Tags
This tag came on an ornament I received. I always notice the tags on retail items since I love to collect all different sorts of shapes to use as templates. I loved the shape of this tag and I’ve never seen a paper punch this shape, so I tucked it away in my […]
Altered Drink Coaster Ornament (#3)
Altering these drink coasters is fun! They give them to you at restaurants no matter what you order so they are easy to obtain. Fortunately for me, my friend gave me some to play with. I love taking something that has no spiritual meaning to it whatsoever and turning it […]
