| Brynwood Needleworks - May Artist Trading Cards To Mail |
I completed my artist trading cards during the day yesterday for the Handmade Treasures swap group. The theme for this month is Flowers. I chose the Lilac Fairy image from Cicely Barker as my main image, adding "The earth laughs in flowers" beneath it. I used a complimentary floral background behind the image, and added the flower button as the final touch.

All the envelopes are addressed and stamped, so they'll all go in the mail today and be on their way.
Speaking of "on their way", this is my multiple last six hour day. Next week I'm back to my regular six hour Tuesday and three hour Friday evening. I can't wait. I really like the new gal I helped train on Wednesday, and next Tuesday, I have yet another woman to train. yippee!
We also have a former cook coming back to work for us. The job he left us to go to hasn't panned out, so he's back and wants more hours. double yippee! I think those of us who have been bustin' our butts to keep the operation going are finally getting relief...especially my boss. Prayers answered.
I'm leaving in a little while to clock in for my shift, but am looking forward to a relaxing weekend with Handsome. I'll tell you all about it next week, so have a great holiday weekend, and I'll see you tomorrow or after the holiday. Hi Ho...Hi Ho...You know the rest!
You sure put a lot of work into your beautiful Artist trading cards! Its good your going to get time to do the things like to do and we look forward to seeing them , From Sandra from BC
ReplyDeleteHi Sandra:
DeleteI haven't added any new ones lately, but if you go to Flickr and look at "Brynwood Needleworks" page, I have an album of the ATCs I made years ago for another swap group. Then, we only traded with one other person. I love making them, and put a bit more into them when it's a one-on-one swap. Thank you so much for your kind words. I can't wait to get back to normal around here, beginning next week!

Hi Marilyn:
DeleteIt was a great day at work! Got to have a long conversation with new Hispanic customers who kept telling me my Spanish was very good (all in Spanish, of course). I've been working on my online app Spanish for 107 days now, and today I realized just how much I've learned and improved. I was pretty chuffed! We're all glad to have the newest hires. They're the best!
Happy Weekend, dear.

I'm not a fan of pink but those are SO pretty!! The girls are going to love them. It has to be a relief to know there are good new hires at work - hopefully they work out in the long haul.
ReplyDeleteHi MA:
DeleteWanna know the best part? My sister, Jan, who hosts this swap, and I don't discuss our monthly cards beforehand. I sent mine out this morning, and received hers today. Her atc is pink, too! lol So far so good with the new hires, and we're keeping our fingers crossed. I'm going to enjoy the weekend and not think about it for a few days. Thanks, hon.

Sherryofcreateology: Donna Dear I absolutely love your Fairy Flower ATCs. Yours are always the Best of Show each month. Thank goodness you are getting some new hires that hopefully will stay put. Happy Weekend with Handsome and the girls.
ReplyDeleteHi Sherry, dear.
DeleteYours should arrive very soon. Thanks for your kind words. I just love making them, so once I get the theme, I'm off and running. I loved yours, too!!! Your paintings always make me feel good. Hope you have a great weekend, too. We're going to a concert tomorrow night. I'll tell you all about it next week (or on FB before then).
xoxo
