What Happened to August?

Oh Man! There may be another whole
week left, but this month has blown through
so fast!!!

As you know, I've taken the Month of August
off from the Wonderful ATC Swaps
here on Birdnuts Mixed Media...
although it doesn't mean I haven't been busy...


well, not all the time....(grin)..
(Thanks Oliver Howard for holding 
down the fort!) 


I did manage to get another Project Piece
done in my 
'Oh Deer' Collection:)




And a few ATC's just for the heck of it
out of some of the lovely papers and goodies
you Wonderful ATC Artists have been
tucking into your envelopes to me:)
( Thank you!!)


It was nice to take a little time just to make some
ATC's for the fun of it, and even a journal page or
two...



But one thing I have made time for

and 
I'm so happy to 
Announce 
is that
I've Opened my 
Very First 
Etsy Shop!!!!


Woo Hoo!!!!

I've listed all sorts of my Projects in my 


And Big Thank You's to all of the 
Fabulous Well Wishes at it's Opening!!!


I'm having a Fabulous Time
making all sorts of Diverse Projects
for my New Shop:)


So Please Come by my New Shop 
and check out all the Goodies Listed:)

Just Winging It in my New Venture!!
HA!!!


And It's almost that Time of Year Again!!!
Can it be!!!
Halloween 
is coming!!!
Oh Man!

Make sure you go by 
and
see Kristin's Latest 
There's still time to Enter!!!



And on a Personal Note
This has also during my 
Time Off this month
been a sad one for my Husband and I 
and our little Zoo Family, 
as this month we lost a 
Dear Member of our Family
Mr. Ted 

He was Oliver Howard's Partner in Crime
and 
although he came to us late in his life
and under sad circumstances,
he's been a Brilliant and Loving
and Loyal little Friend to me personally.
He was my Art Room Buddy during the
nights of Art Frenzy Insomnia
and I so miss his company:)
Loved ya Mr. Ted! 
And Miss You my Buddy:)
xoxo

Congratulations on the Etsy shop! Since your work is fabulous, you are sure to do well.

July was my first ATC swap and I would love to keep going. I really appreciate all the time you put into the swap and making your ATCs.

I thought you were supposed to be realxing in August, instead you seem to have been busier than ever. :) Love what you've been creating - lots of gorgeousness - and yes, I would love to take part in an ATC swap again. Good luck with the Etsy shop.

Michele Oliver said...

I have only done one of your swaps and would love to do more....

Well, you bring up a great point about the holidays right around the corner, how'd I forget that? But if you are in, I'm in again. I'm learning how to art a bit faster; I don't usually have a mental block, it's more a where-do-i-stop block, it can take me days to complete a simple ACEO........I'm working on this affliction.
