welcome to creative swaps!

Welcome! I've created this separate blog to keep track of and share the artwork from the swaps I will be hosting this year. I got the idea for a separate blog from Dawn Sellers, who hosted the Oh So Charming swap that I participated in. Her blog about this swap experience was a wonderful addition to the swap! I hope you will use this "Creative Swaps" Blog to follow the progress along, to make comments or ask questions. If you have any suggestions let me know.
The Circle book swap filled rather quickly, so I'm sorry if you did not get in. I had 24 blank circle books from 7-Gypsies (see below) and when I sent out a call to former swap participants they grabbed them all up within 24 hrs!! If you click on the photos below you will have a better view of the pages that you will be working with if you are in the swap.









If you are in the Fabric ATC swap with a garden theme, hooray! I am so excited to be hosting an ATC swap again. Even if you don't sew you can make a fabric ATC. I think fabric simply makes ATCs even more interesting! I have created a list for the sidebar of all the participating artists in this swap . . . . if you have a website or Blog you would like me to link to please let me know. Eventually I can link your name to the post on this blog where we can see your art! If you have questions please contact me: lenna (at) creativelenna.com.

  3. Thank you Frieda! I had the address for your blog and added it in : ) I agree - it will be great to have a place on the web to see pictures of the swap pieces as they come in, and using a blog to do this makes it much easier for me!
