Trish Busby - prayer flag swap!

From Trish in MO we have 4 prayer flags that were delivered inside mail art! Thank you so much for the extra flag you enclosed for me.

Trish has written about making her flags HERE and also here! Thanks for joining in again Trish. I love your "Toadily Handmade" stamp and thanks a lot for the mail art too. This is Trish's 3rd creative swap! 

Trish Busby: Bead Swap

The second entry for the bead swap has arrived and this one is from Trish Busby. I will share a few photos I took below, but please visit her blog Art Anomaly to read more about how she created these wonderful beads! Trish has more photos and notes on how she made her different beads . . . which means her name will get added to the drawing for an extra package of handmade beads from me!

Here's one bead - Trish made her own individual plastic bags

by cutting larger bags & sewing them up - ingenious!

Trish made great tags and packaged her beads individually with a flair!

She made an extra bead for me!

This is the one I chose, Trish. Thank you.

The beautiful mail art was also truly appreciated! 

Go visit Trish!  I so look forward to receiving the rest of the beads. Due in my hands 3/24.

Trish Busby: Vintage note card swap!

Trish Busby from Missouri sent in 4 note card sets for the swap (1 extra as a gift). Thanks so much Trish! I will be happy to use the extra one. Trish combines fabric, lace and paper and did some watercoloring for some of the card interiors too, wow! Click on any card for more detail.

Trish has a brand new blog called Art Anomaly -go there to read more about here cards! Trish says this is her first online swap, having only participated in local ones before.
