Mary Jane's Farmgirl Swaps #1 Group ATCs

I have been participating in the swaps on MaryJane's Farmgirl Chatroom for some months now. What an absolutely lovely and talented group of ladies!

Of course, it has just recently occured to me to start taking pictures of my swap items before I send them out. It didn't even dawn on me to do this until AFTER I had packed up my item for the quilted dish drainer swap. But I did remember for these three.

The first swap was really interesting. I love making these ATC cards. Usually we do it in bulk (20). But for this swap we were in groups of three. The first person had three blank ATCs they put something on it. Then they mailed it to the second person in the group who added another item. Then that person forwarded it to the third person who finished the ATC and then mailed the other two cards, completed, to the first two artists. All of the artists' names are on the back of the ATCs.

It was really a fun swap. I was the last person in our swap. I added the flower and the picture of the woman.


Swap#2 Fall Matchbox Swap

Here are some pictures from the matchbox swap. Inside each one I put a tiny yo-yo heart.






Swap#3 Altered Spoons

I didn't even know what an altered spoon was until I googled it. Wow! So many different things to do. Here are some of the pictures of my altered spoon:
