April Fool Photos

I thought I'd post pics of the April Fool ATCs which I received for last month's swap.  It was only a small swap but there were still plenty of different ideas of interpreting the theme.  Hope everyone enjoyed the cards they received back.

This month's swap "A Little Birdie Told Me" has attracted more interest - birds are proving a very popular subject this year - the closing date for this swap is 31st May, but there's still time to join in for anyone who's interested; I've already received some great-looking cards so you don't want to miss out on the chance to own one of them!

Since last weekend's residential (is it a week ago already?), I've been thinking about getting down to do some bead designing again and have been browsing the internet, books and magazines for some inspirational ideas ...... one or two things have caught my eye and now I'm letting the ideas "percolate" in my brain for a few days to see what bubbles up to the surface.  I'm thinking of new ways to combine my beads with the altered artwork, but it's too early to say any more just yet, have to see what I can come up with first!
