OH MY GOODNESS

look what the postman brought me

this morning !!!

Made by the very talented & lovely Penny

at

Creative Overflow

Penny featured this stunning piece of art

on her Blog

and mentioned that her daughter

has been encouraging her to sell some of her amazing work.

I emailed Penny to ask if she was selling

her Altered Printer's Tray

please please please could I buy it.

Penny & I have become friends through our Blogs

and hope to meet in person one day

Two Penny's together

watch out world !

Penny had wrapped the box so carefully

& thoughtfully stick little pieces or eraser rubber

on the very sharp cogs !

Here are some close ups of some of my favourite bits

but it is all so lovely

& I can't stop looking at it.

The colour scheme is perfect for my kitchen

where it will be much admired.

Do pop over To Penny's Blog.

Her poems are beautiful too. 

See how at home it will be in my kitchen...

with my clock !!!

Monthly ATC challenge

What a lovely response

to my idea to host a monthly

ATC

challenge !

We will all make one  ATC

based on the calendar month

and I will organise a link

for you to add yours

at the end of each month.

By December we will have a lovely collection of cards

to keep, swap or give away.

I thought we could make a little box or folder to keep them in too.

See my previous post and join us.

I'm away until the New Year

but looking forward to doing this with you all

and seeing your "January"  ACTs !

Hello Lovely crafters & makers.

I'm thinking of hosting a monthly

ATC challenge from January.

I think weekly would be too demanding.

Are you interested ?

We could just stick to

the calendar months as the theme

unless you have any ideas or suggestions.

It might be nice by next December to have a set of twelve

ATC's representing the year.

If you are not familiar with the term,

ATC's

 are

ARTIST TRADING CARDS

 how you design them & what media you use is up to you !

This is not a swap

but you can swap or

 keep your own cards !

it's up to you

I will organise a link so you can add your ATC

for everyone to see !

Let me know what you think.

I'm going to be away for a month but

if I get a good response,

I'll let you know before I go

so spread the word...
