Jo-Ann Reichert: Haiku ATCs

From Pennsylvania, Jo-Ann sends 3 hand painted ATCs that she added beeswax to.

her haiku reads:

Moon sheds light on us

Shimmering beauty ocean

Summer's days to end

she also so sweetly, made a card for me on the same idea . . .

Thank you Jo-Ann.

Visit her PictureTrail here.

All ATCs are due Saturday, October 8th.

I am expecting a few more.

The round one she sent is so interesting . . . 

it is made from coasters, with hand-crochet edges.

This tiny book is made from dryer sheets, paint & gesso!

The butterfly book she made is a tiny coffee filter book

with dyed fabric, stamped and painted.

wonderful little quotes inside each coffee filter pocket!

Jo Ann Reichert: vintage note card swap!

I received 2 envelopes full of vintage note cards the past few days and I am finally here to share them with you. I have been extra busy working on a collaborative online teaching project that will be announced next week! I'm very excited about it . . .  but now, let's look at our fantastic swap entries.

From Jo Ann Reichert in Pennsylvania we have 4 cards as Jo Ann made an extra one for me. This is not a requirement ~ 3 note cards are all you need to send. I will be playing in the swap myself with the sample cards I made and trading those for some in the exchange. But that being said, of course extra cards for me are welcomed and appreciated!! Take a look at what Jo Ann created, beautiful! Click for details.

Thanks so much, Jo Ann - always glad to have you in a creative swap!

Jo Ann Reichert: mail Art swap!

Jo Ann has been very patient! It took her envelopes some time to reach me from Pennsylvania . . . one envelope traveled for 10 days before arriving in Florida even though another sent on the same day arrived in just 3 days! It was worth the wait. Jo Ann has created some incredible mail art.

Thank you Jo Ann!
