We can all proceed to cringe about the rate increase..and they have now unveiled the new postage stamp for international mailing. It is not bad but it is not great Russia, Finland, Sweden their stamps put ours to shame.

this one was just sent to me from someone who saw me on a mail art blog and followed to get my address. Love it.
and here is what i got back from my Orchid ATC swaps I love these my partner out did herself.
Another swapbot ATC swap I posted what I sent for it and here is what I got back for it :)
I busted out the mod podge on these one's I am hosting a snow flake swap on swapbot, a private one and a open to everyone swap and here is the results that are heading out on their way to their new owners.
so I joined another christmas atc swap I am feeling a bit of the yuletide spirit and all. We had to make an ATC for two partners and I decided to make mine match I did presents. What do you think?
I am not sure if I posted this one or not, I could not see where I did so maybe I did not but it was in my scanned items, so here it is a very nice PC that someone sent me in a swap.
I was asked to start hosting my new to atc's swaps again so in the third part of the series i took some of my don't sweat the small stuff pullings from my one a day calendar and created this ATC for the swap.
I host an ATC swap on Swapbot called the 1 theme 1 week 1 ATC, and for this one it was Orchid's I ended up making two because I was not sure about the all glitter one. I think as a pair they turned out well.
More ATC love and here are some more that I made. I joined the A Catty ATC swap on good old Swap Bot. The Challenge was to make 3 cat themed ATC's so I thought I would make a collection of different Persians since I am a lovely Persian lover. So what do you think?
This is another Postcrossing this one is from Ukraine and I think it is different and love it fits in perfectly with what I like.
We all know the post office can be a pain and they lost another one DOH but I think I like this ATC better than the first one I made. Another swap bot one for a quick atc swap. I am very happy with this one. I hope my partner likes it!
This ATC is one I made for Quick Swap #48 and it had a Christmas theme. So I went a little bit crazy with glitter and WALA! What do you think?
I have been taking part in a swap on swap-bot that has been doing the seven deadly sins in ATC, sadly because i got behind on my scans I have not had a chance to scan all of the ones I have made. But I managed to do this one, number 6 Envy. I hope my partner likes it.
I have gotten some really nice fall theme postcards since autumn hit and I thought I would share a selection of my favorites in the next set of posts.
