wow-has it been that long since my last post?

Been really busy doing stuff, I guess not anything I wanted to post... so here we are.

Above is a handmade journal I did for a swap. Love my bind-it-all!

"Rose" was done for a swap. Its 4"x4".

And finally, bird ATCs also done for a swap. I am hosting another swap for the birds. I hope you will sign up and swap! Other swaps I am hosting are zentangle atcs, autumn tree color photograph atcs and 100 inchies in 100 days. Of coarse - all on Swap-bot!

Cover!

Tickets Tickets 2

These are what I did for a swap on Swap-bot. I had three partners and each one is pretty much the same. I hope they enjoy. They will go out in the post tomorrow. Just love that Swap-bot!

Trigger Happy - Circle

Ok so this was fun. Swap-bot swap - Trigger Happy - Circle wanted us to go and photograph the first five round items we saw. I went to our local art alliance and looked for those rounds!

Pumpkins, bicycle wheel, white berries, light on the wall and finally the street light looking up!

Enjoy the swap Lunaria, HappyCactus and Hyperoma!

Anything look familiar?

See anything familiar in the cloud formation?

Love those clouds~

It always seems that I get in a run of doing a particular type of photos. So it seems clouds is my new fascination. Never had so much fun looking up!

Meet Jake - My favorite subject! Kelli - enjoy!

As you all know I swap on Swap-bot and this posting is to fulfill my swap duties with Kelli. You see we are to share pictures of pets, so here he be. I've had Jake 8 years and he's my best bud. He loves to accompany me on Saturdays when we hit the yardsales and look for photo opportunities. I really think he loves to model for me. One day I just shot loads of pictures and each one was a little different (the altered shot to the right is one of them) .















One of my favorite pictures is the one where he is wearing his "doogles". It was very easy to take his picture as he would not move until I removed them. Looks already for a ride in the convertible huh?


The one here is a shot of Sundance on the beach around 1975. I superimposed a shot of Jake next to him. Sundance died in 1989, and Jake wasn't born until 1999. But I think the shot looks they were both there at the same time.

The portrait of Jake is superimposed and kinda makes him look like a southern gentleman (which he is - born in Florida!). Well this has been fun! I hope you enjoy Kelli.

Look - up in the sky!

These photos just looked too good not to shoot them.

2 Fun Sites!

One of the groups I belong to mentioned these sites - what fun! You must try it. Big Huge Labs and Dumpr.

Another Saturday out and about

The spider web was in my backyard, the others were taken at Sickles in Little Silver.

Magic Stamp fun!

Got the magic stamp and have had lots of fun! I have a push pin that I incorporated into the stamp. The detail is amazing!

Several I cut out and backed with pop dots, the others just trimmed to ATC size. FUN!

Inchie Crazy!

Been doing the inchie thing. Really liking this!

Altered American Flag

This flag was on the building next to where I work. I started altering the photo... like the way it turned out.

Cobble Close Farm

Came accross this farm that once was a castle that was taken apart and rebuilt here in NJ. It is gorgeous!

Photo Inchies

Love Swap-bot! Joined another swap for photo inchies. Here are my selections. I hope the recipients like them!

got your tickets?

Joined an Inchie Art Swap on Swap-bot, and this is what I came up with. Just bought vintage tickets and decided I would use them. I think they came out pretty cool. I always make a card to send my swaps - so "got your tickets?" was appropriate. Not sure who I'm swapping with but I hope they enjoy!

Out and About... again!

I decided when I leave the house on Saturdays I will always take my camera. The Fireman's Fair has added more stuff, found another cemetery with neat tombstones, and a dilapidated building was just screaming to have its picture taken... and of coarse they had to be altered.

Farmer's Market

Took the camera to the local farmer's market and of coarse altered a few photos. Just started a new swap on Swap-bot. If your interested in swapping photos - Swap-bot is the place to go!

Fireman's Fair

Not sure if I was too late or too early, but the Fireman's Fair was set up in Fair Haven but not a soul was around. So I took some photos and some just had to be altered. This was fun!
