Susan Stewart - Inspiration Collage

Susan Stewart's 5x5 Collages landed in my mailbox today -hooray! She sent them off one full week ago and she lives in the same town as I do! So please mail early to ensure your swaps get here by the Jan 30th deadline. I really enjoyed what Susan created and recognized many of the items she used.

Thank you Susan! 

Lots to look at here and very nicely put together. 

Now you can sit back, enjoy the entries as they come in and anticipate your returns :) 

I will be away from my computer for 2 days -taking a little biking trip with Steve . . . 

I won't be back to upload or check off arrivals on the Participant List until Thursday or Friday.

See you at the end of the week! Lenna 

Susan Stewart: postcard mail art swap!

From Susan, right around the corner from me in Bradenton, Florida . . . I received 4 colorful postcards for our postcard mail art swap. Susan's postcards have the theme of a summer's day being a wonderful day for adventure and travel . . .

Below are all 4 of her designs -she so kindly made one for me!

On the back she composed a cute little poem . . . . click for details.

Wonderful job, Susan -I am glad you could join us even though you just moved and traveled overseas!! ; ^ )) Follow this link to go to Susan's blog!

The first swap entry has arrived for the first swap of 2011: Susan Stewart!

Oh how it made me smile to receive the first swap entry in the mail yesterday for the very first creative swap of the new year, Vintage note cards! The note cards and envelopes that came in are from my friend Susan Stewart, who lives in the same town as me! (We met at a local Zentangle ATC swap.) Susan's note cards are beautiful and oh, so delightful. Thank you so much for the gift of an extra one, Susan . . . . and I am so pleased to see you used some of the images I sent in the PDFs!

Happy creative new year to all of YOU!! 

Susan Stewart: Mail Art swap!

I only met Susan recently at a local ATC swap, but I am so glad I did! We got together recently and shared our fabric and other art and then to my delight, Susan joined our mail art swap! I don't know how much experience Susan has had with mail art, but she has created some fabulous envelopes -see for yourself below.
