Happy Tears

Wow! I'm overwhelmed at the sweetness that comes from total strangers. I really feel like I know many of you even more so than some of my own family members. You're awesome! You got me to thinking too... is anyone interested in doing a Rolodex swap of sorts for birthday information (name, address, email, website, and birthday)? I just want to make sure to send birthday cards to all of you, but there's no way I can remember them all without a little help. I won't open this up as a traditional swap, but if you'd like to send me your information as an altered index card, Rolodex card, ATC or by whatever means you keep track of birthdays I'll be sure to return the favor as well. I've already started crackin' on some cute little Rolodex cards and ATCs for you. I hope you'll come play with me! (P.S. 12 more days 'til I'm 24!)

Just a Reminder:

There are only two more days to sign up for the card swap and to get your entries in for Sketch 2.

Card Swap Anyone?

Well, it's about time for all of us to start thinking up our Christmas cards, so I thought it'd also be a great time for a small holiday card swap. If you're interested in participating just send me a comment with your email address. I'll contact everyone for addresses and get a list together to send out for our little card party. It's a great way to get new pen pals from all over the world and ideas for the upcoming holidays! Here's who's in so far:

• Ylita from California
• Mary from Kentucky
• Mary from Florida
• Lisa from Texas
• Debra from Australia
• Jayne from Michigan
• Penny from Michigan
• Melissa from New Jersey
• Maura from Ireland
• Julie from Illinois
• Flo from Florida
• Corie from Maryland
• Sandy from Washington
• Debbie from Tennessee
• Melissa from Washington
• Me (duh!)
