Oooooo, these are really neat!  Great job!

Amazing work!  I love the color scheme.

Wow!  That is amazing, great work!

These are awesome!!!!!  Great work!!!!!

Ooooo, I just got a new tablet and have been complaining that I don't have a case for it!  I will decide on this later this week after I am done with all my final projects for class.    I can't really think coherently right now, lol. 

This is really cool!  I love the way you connected everything!  Great job!!!

Great package fiddlegirl8!!!  All of the baskets are super cute!

I received an AMAZING package from my partner Eclectic Dreamer on Monday.  I'm sorry it took me so long to post pictures, this week has been much more of a train wreck than I expected. 

She made a really beautiful basket.  I love black with vibrant colors and she found some amazing fabric.  I really love it!  She also did an amazing job centering the fabric!  I always try to work with fabrics where it doesn't matter if you center something...lol. 



She also sent me four coasters straight off my pinterest!  I love them - so cute and nautical. 



I had asked for Christmas ornaments in my questionnaire and she sent me really cute bear ornaments and M&M ornaments.  She also included a tiny notebook made from a paint chip. 





Thank you so much for the awesome package!!!  I love everything!

I feel bad that I still haven't posted zkatoms ATC... I wanted to post it together with the other card when it arrives.

No problem!  I'm behind posting pictures myself.  Speaking of that, a big thank you to Witchhippie and kuraikatara for amazing ATCs!!!!

Witchhippie sent me two adorable crayon ATCs.  I especially love the cat -





kuraikatara sent me an amazing drawing of the Enterprise NCC-1701-D.  The picture doesn't do it justice -



Big thanks to both of you!!!!! 

This is also the first time I've been able to catch up with the gallery in awhile.  Man, all of the cards are awesome!  I always love looking through the ATC swap galleries.  There is so much creativity everywhere! 

I received an awesome key themed card from gala_apples!  I love the colors - it is much brighter in person.  Thanks!

Thanks for all the compliments on the journal everyone!  I'm so glad you guys like it.  They are really fun to make - kind of addicting.....    You are welcome to come over Leslie, though the trip might be a bit long.   

There are some really great tutorials online - http://www.tortagialla.com/2010/08/16/chain-or-coptic-stitch-bookbinding-tutorial/  I don't use a hole punch to punch through the cover; the awl works fine.  You don't need to use a curved needle.  Some people find it confusing while it really helps others.  It is definitely just personal preference.  I also finish off a bit differently, but I don't think it matters at all.
