Alphabets Q, R, S & T

I was very bad and behind this week with my alphabet ATCs. I had to email our poor host Wendy and ask for a cheeky extension to the deadline. (I did have a very important assignment due in last weekend, although I did have a month to make them so it isn't really that great an excuse). Still, to make up for it, I have also sent her next month's cards so I don't have to worry about it over Christmas.

I have also signed up for zillions of new swaps due in in January and February, with an inchie swap that I am hosting, a rainbow accordion book, postcards and ATCs. So next year is going to be really exciting!!

The Last of the Inchies

So today I received the last of the inchies needed before swapping them out. Totally worth waiting for as they were all really cute.

Luckily we had a good amount of people in this swap so every body got one of everyone else's which was nice as there was a good variety. Here are the ones that I kept, although it was really hard to choose and I wanted to keep all of them!

Some of you may notice that there are seven instead of six- don't panic, I got an RAK from SueM so was able to take two of her lovely ones!
I have been really excited by this swap and really hope that I can host another one in the New Year- any ideas for themes??

October Pears

Happy Bonfire Night!!! Hope you are all out enjoying the fireworks!
Yesterday I got my alphabet returns so I would like to share those with you!

Mind your O's and P's

I've just realised that I haven't posted up the photos of my latest Alphabet ATCs- very remiss of me! Anyway, here they are now!

I was asked by one of my friends if I had used leatherette for the lettering. I was quite surprised as they are simply made from cardboard!! -- Handy tip, use cereal box card and paint it with watercolour!!

Inchie Overload

So my inchie swap is drawing to a close now with only a few people left to send them in- I am getting increasingly worried about having to choose the ones I want to keep as I want to keep them all (may have to get my flatmates to choose for me!!)

I have finally made my own ones as well, and got a little carried away so made lots and lots!!!

 Some of the inchies double up in the photos so I haven't quite made this many.

Anyway, they aren't as good as the ones I've been getting. Take a look at these and maybe you'll understand my dilemma!!

Annie also very kindly sent me some little fabric leftovers which were big enough to turn into ATCs (not sure if she meant them as ATCs as she didn't put a backing on them, but they look gorgeous so I have backed them and put them with all the others).

Buildings & Dragonflies

Ahh, I love post- especially when it involves ATCs. Today I was in for a real treat with both my building and dragonfly returns.

First up are the Dragonflies:
