An ATC Blog Hop Party...
Twyla and her daughter, Lindsey of Two Crazy Crafters are hosting an artist trading card (ATC) blog hop on July 1st. If you've followed my blog for a while, you know that I adore ATCs. I just jumped at the chance to participate when Twyla gave me a heads-up!The theme is "patriotic", and you don't even have to send your card off to anyone. All you have to do is create a card (3 1/2" x 2 1/2" - the same size as a playing card) and post it on your blog on July 1st. Then link your post to Two Crazy Crafters' blog site. I don't think it could get any easier than that. Do you?
So click on the little button above and it will take you to Twyla and Lindsey's blog to see some of their inspiration. If you click here you can read more about the Blog Hop, and let her know that you'll join in the fun. If you're not into making ATCs, please be sure to come back and visit all the bloggers who've decided to participate. I think it's going to be a lot of fun!

Mocha Chocolata, Ya Ya...
I only have two so far, but I adore these Keiller & Sons marmalade jars.
They're just the right size to hold crochet hooks (without the lid on), paint brushes, or pencils, and the graphics are so wonderful.
Something about the smell of citrus - especially lemons and oranges - that makes me happy. They just smell like sunshine and summer to me.
The marmalade doesn't have a lot of "extra" ingredients. Just all the good stuff that people can actually pronounce.
Heck, even the lid has beautiful artwork on it. Can you see why I adore them? Does having only two of them constitute a collection, or do I need to own about ten more for that distinction? Tell me that I need more and I'll get right after it! What do you like to collect?PS. In case you don't know, my title is part of the lyrics to a 1970's Patty LaBelle song called "Lady Marmalade". If you do know it, you'll be singing it all day now, won't you?
