And finally for a big update day - some more ATCs

Here is some ATC's I've done over the last 12 months or so and some I have received.

The first photo are all mine. The 2nd photo top row are mine and the bottom row are ones I have received. If you see one you have sent me and would rather not have it up here, just let me know

Beautiful Chipboard.

I have a great new supplier of beautiful high quality chipboard.

Here are just a few of the items available. There is a stack. These are some of the more arty sets of chipboard shapes and a few of the scrapbooking titles. I love them. I've painted them, inked them, alcohol inked them, distressed them!

Contact me if you wish to order some! The shapes are $3 packet and titles $2 each. Cheap as chips I reckon. I also have quite a few different ones listed on ebay at the moment as well as brand new stamps! The link is:

Goth ATC

Here is the ATC I did for the Gothic ATC swap on Arty-oz. I really love the gothic style and can see myself getting more into the style. The darkness and swirls etc appeal to me. It would be more what I call "pretty goth" rather than ugly and extreme goth that people expect though.

Tag Books

Here are some scans of recently done tag books pages in the Arty-Oz swap. The first 2 are in Ness' book. I always wanted to have a go at beeswax and Ness gave us permission to try something new in her book. I had only has the beeswax for 2 or 3 years!

The 2nd lot of pictures are for Kylie's book on women. Sorry for the blurred scans towards the middle of the books

Art Club

Well for the last 3 Fridays I have been going to the local Art Club and trying my hand at painting canvasses. With the mixed media sort of stuff I have been doing through Arty-oz and other groups I am finding it not to bad. My first painting is of a Lion from a photo I took in Sth Africa 4 years ago. I will try and show you when I am finished - but only if it is good enough to be hung up somewhere in the house other than the toilet!

Emerald Floods

Would you like to see some of the photos I took at the Emerald floods here in January. It stopped the town for a week. No-one was working, except for essentials and flood related services. It was scary as they knocked on our door the first night at 11pm to tell us to be ready to evacuate by 6am the next morning. So we spent the next few hours moving our furniture up a level in our split level. Anyway, as it turns out the water didn't even get into our streets at the height of the flood 4 days later.

Ebay & Paypal

So what do you all think about Ebay forcing everyone onto Paypal? I have no problem with Paypal being an option, but the fees are making selling small stamping & scrapping items uneconomical. I'm thinking about heading over to Oztion. Where are you heading or are you going to stay with Ebay? Would love to hear your comments
