Birdsong Tag Swap...

-

So hopefully Karla should have my tags by now and is putting the tag books together. Here are pictures of what I created....


Because I used bird feathers and they stick out from the edge of the tag, I quickly spritzed a manila folder with two colors of Glimmer Mist and tied the tags onto it to help protect them while they are being shipped.


I took the cardboard outside to dry and when I came back to bring it in. It was gone. I searched all over the yard and then went into complain to my  hubby how the wind had blown my folder who knows where.

"Oh," says he, "I thought it blew in from somebody else's yard and so I threw it into the recycling."

*sigh*

There are three unique tags (like the one above), and four the same (below).



The images come from The Graphics Fairy or The Feathered Nest.

I can't wait to see the tags I receive! (Although, of course, I'll have to.)

    Hi Leanne

    Your tags are so beautiful - and I just love those sweet little nests too!

    I'm in the swap too and I'll post a pic next week - I did 7 exactly the same (my first swap) next time I'll be more adventurous.

    I'm hoping to be part of your Wednesday Where's God, but I have things piling up on me, I'll be in touch.

    hugs
    Shane

    Love your tags. I am so sorry I didn't receive one in my book. After seeing all the tags on Karla's blog I wanted one of them all... sigh...

My Desert Cottage Not much has changed in my art room since last year . I had a substantial to-do list this year and I didn't quite get to all of them. Here's what was on my "to-do" that got t'done: 1) I made pretty labels for my binders: 2) I cleaned out my closet. (There is no before picture: just imagine stacks of boxes, giant plastic containers and the like.) The closet now holds some stamp storage (off to the side behind the purple velvet dress that's hanging; a chest of drawers packed with fabric (now consolidated into one space except for another drawer in last year's pink chest of drawers); and a sacred space. The wall has book pages taped onto it. I got the idea and the technique from Aunt Peaches . Eventually, the small stained glass cross will move and be above the ombry that I have on permanent loan (currently holding my prayer books and a bible), which is a bit of a long story, but basically when I no longer have a use f

Where Bloggers Create Party II: My Room 2010 (with lots of pictures)

I'm excited to be joining the Where Bloggers Create Party for the first time. I discovered it last year, ages after it happened and I literally spent the day looking through them all! I hope you enjoy my space. The sign on my door. I made it as a make-and-take a couple of years ago. Here's an overall view of my room. You can't tell because of the lighting but the walls are not pink. They're pale lavender. The bookcase I bought from Target a year or two ago. It's "Shabby Chic". The bottom drawer holds my German scrap and the "transparent" stuff. The bookcase from Target that used to be under the window is now vertical. The addition to the top of pink chest of drawers is a library card file that was gonna be tossed from church until I rescued it. It holds rolls of seam binding and millinery. I might paint it next year.... Next to it is a tiered holder of mostly lace, but some feathers and flowers. The chest of drawers holds glue, large photos, fa

I am going to start out by saying, I could do with a serious purge of stuff. That said, I have so much because I've flitted from scrapbooking to 3D creations (birdhouses) to fabric creations to painting on canvas to art journaling. It shows. On the other hand, I've gone from working part-time to not working to working full-time, so I know there are projects I really want to get to. (Like the Madonna art display quilt from a swap I was in several years ago.) I've taken a break from this blog party for the last couple of years, but if you want to see how my creative space has changed and developed (just in case you haven't seen enough creative spaces for one day!), you can see: in 2009 in its barest of bones (I didn't participate in the blog party, but wanted to show in 2010 how my room, which is a small third bedroom, had looked before.) in 2010 which is like a complete reveal with an additional post on my homemade hanky curtains in 2011 after an overha
