The red one does have a map background…it’s just really hard to see in the photo.

I spent a very pleasant afternoon in the craft room with my daughter. Daddy had come home sick so we figured we’d spend some time on a quiet activity while he rested.
I don’t really understand art dolls or why people make them but am always willing to experiment. Moonflower child was actually kind of fun to create.
I also made these 2 Map 4×4’s…I still have 2 more to make.
What I really should have been doing today was working on my 12 days of Christmas swap that is due in a couple weeks. I just can’t seem to get into making these gifts this year!
For some reason I had a hard time with a child theme ATC.
I think it was because I wanted to use this image but it was so long and narrow that it was hard to work with in ATC size. Anyway, I am happy with my end result.
DO NOT ADJUST YOUR MONITOR!
He is actually greenish.
My friend Elizabeth twisted my arm to join a couple of her swaps this month. They are both ATC swaps. I’ve completed the Men ATC’s. It’s funny though, this is not what I had intended at all for these but my printer decided to run out of ink part way through the printout. Since the guy had this funky green color to him I figured he had to be either from Mars, nauseated or radioactive. Obviously, I went for radioactive.
Now I need to come up with something fun for the Children theme ATC’s. I have a couple good vintage child photos.
I finally bound some old tip-in and smaller size pages into one book this week.
I’m on a mission to finish all these UFO’s (unfinished objects) I’ve started somewhere along the line.
I was chatting with a neighbor just this evening over the bonfire about memory and lack thereof. Is it Adult-ADD or short-term memory loss but whatever you want to call it…I’ve got it!!! Geez… I can’t walk down the 2 sets of stairs to the basement and remember what the heck it was I went down there for!
OK…I think I’m on a tangent now….
My original point was…I have a ton of projects started or even nearly complete but never seem to tie up all my loose ends. THAT is my new mission.
With that said….haha…I have started a new project or more of a challenge. It’s a call for art from Somerset Memories magazine. It can be either a group or an individual using ONE IMAGE to create a multitude of art. Of course since it will be up for submission I won’t be showing what I’ve created until I’ve heard the news either way… I hope to get my projects in the mail next week for consideration.
Quite a while back I showed my circle for the anniversary swap on ABC. 
Here’s my completed book.
I used CD’s that had been sitting in my UFO (unfinished object) bin forever.
They were colored on both side by pouring blue and green metallic inks on then swirling a bit.
The black swirls are two different rubber stamps and plain old dye-based ink.
These are my map and napkin theme 4×4’s for a swap on ABC.
Here’s a little sneak peek at another item I’m working on.
More to come at a later time.
