What I have done recently...

It's not much, but I have managed to fit in making some ATCs for our Paperarts monthly swaps.
This time of the year, altho' supposed to be peaceful and joyous,  has it's down moments for me....seems if anything's gunna go wrong, it will now!
Added to which, during the hotter months, my mostly calm nature tends to explode into fiery mode! (no snickering allowed here by my friends!)

To top off all health issues around me, I have been waiting for parts for my NEW stove-top (gas burners) since OCTOBER!!!....yes...I did say NEW stove-top!
Seems we have VERY BAD POSTAL SERVICE between HERE and SYDNEY as I have been told THREE times that the parts were posted out. apparently they have FINALLY arrived and am now waiting on the appliance man to come but still not sure if they will fix the problem.


Oh, why couldn't they have just replaced the stove-top in the first place!!??


However, I HAVE managed to make some beetroot relish, chili jam and mango relish on the ONE jet that DOES work!


Anyhoo....here are the two different ATCs I made at least five of each of...hope you like them.
I have a spare of each if anyone would like to trade. Just email  me if you are interested.
The left one's theme was "Mother's Sage Advice" and the other's
 theme was "Anatomical with a Twist".

Playing with my Sister!

My sister is here with us at present recovering from an operation on her feet, so to keep her mind off the associated pain, I introduced her to ATCs. She was not sure how she'd go at first, but by golly...she has been bitten by the bug and sometimes doesn't even wait for me to sit with her but gets into my stash of images and produces little works of art on her own!

                 I shall display some of them here and hope that you will be kind      
                     enough to cawment on them. I know it will make her day!

                                   
                The last image shown is an articulated paper doll...her very first!
