Somethin' Nice

No, I haven't fallen off the face of the earth... just busy days... setting up a new inventory storage system, working at converting the smART Cookie galleries to a friendlier format, prepping and teaching classes, giving my parents some extra help, attending end of the school year activities with Eli, and a post-wedding shower for one of our middle boys & wife, etc.  You know a lot of little things that don't really bear much by way of notation on the ol' blog, yet are still time consuming.

Anywho, here's a happy, little "gotta share":

This beautiful Artist Trading Card was created by Karen Cheetham... It's hand-stitched and beaded, and has lots of intricate clockwork pieces attached!  Not only pleases the eye, but the fingers as well.  Very, very nice!!!

You may remember, Karen's "Friends" card won 2nd Prize in last quarters smART Card Stamping Contest, but even though Karen lives in Maine, and frequents the same LSS where I teach, we had never met until Saturday, when she attended one of my classes...

Now, I always know how many participants will be in class, but I don't always know who they'll be, and such was the case this time.  Meeting Karen in person was unexpected, and most delightful -- a real treat!

Then came the "cherry on top" -- Karen reached into her tote, pulled out the cutest little file folder you've ever seen (it co-ordinates perfectly with the ATC), and gifted me.  She had read about my fascination with Pam Rogers' ATC, and brought me this one to add to my "collection."  How nice was that!?! 

Again, I am fascinated... I just know sooner or later, I'm going to have to break down and give this size canvas a whirl...

Sharing one of my weekend blessings,

Susan T.

You are one busy lady! This is a lovely ATC, too - love that bright pink with the metallic elements.
