I absolutely love making ATC's (Artist Trading Cards). These are the ones I made today. :o)





   

 I drew this ATC as part of another swap. March 2nd is Dr Seuss' birthday. I never knew I could draw so well. Makes me almost wanna keep this ATC for myself. lol.





   
This I made for a Marie Antoinette atc swap. Her dress is made from a swatch of fabric, then strands of yarn as her collar and belt. The jewel on her crown is a mini red brad. The rest was hand drawn by me with pens and markers. The reason for the red is because it looks like blood and we all know what her fate was.

I love Zentangles and ATC's!


I drew this for a swap called Zentangle 5 ATC. There had to be only 5 different zentangle designs. My five were 1) these shapes ^ 2) rectangles (piano keys) 3) circles 4) wavy lines and 5) the music notes. :o)
I drew this for my sweet pen pal Mayu. She loves music so I did music and other designs.

My gorgeous closet


 I bought a closet organizer at Walmart, sawed the shelves with a hacksaw, so they would fit.

 Then I painted a fresh coat of paint in the closet, on the trim and bedroom door.


I then hung the organizer in the closet and finally organized all of my clothes, shoes, sheets, blankets, etc. I adore looking at it cause it looks amazing! (Oh the paint on floor has been there for years, I didn't make that mess. lol.)
