It started with joining the Cactus Monday group. What a hoot! That's been a lot of fun! Then I joined an ABC ATC (artist trading cards) group where we create an ATC using letters of the alphabet and send them on to the next person on our group list. That means I get a fun ATC in the mail every week and soon will have 26 of them, from A to Z. Around that time I also joined the Drawing in Church blog where we all sneak our pens/pencils into church and draw pictures. After that I joined a Global Greetings group where we each send a creative postcard to other members in the group. The cards can be sewn, collaged, painted, drawn, whatever strikes our fancy. That has been fun too as I get all these cards in the mail.
One of my new friends, Peg, just sent this in the mail for no other reason than she was thinking of me! She made this bookmark for me because it reminded her of my new book coming out and she sent along with it a print of her ATC "Art in My Heart" design. I love them both! Thank you for thinking of me!
Here is the collection of postcards from my Global Greetings group that I've received so far - aren't they a lot of fun?! Some are sewn, some are stamped, collaged, painted, etc.
Thank you all! It has been so much fun to be included in this group. I promise to send some more postcards out this weekend. (I wonder what the postal carriers think of us?)

Patty, it has been great getting to know you too. You are such a talented artist. I am glad you posted your postcards again. I don't think I saw the first one there. Or else I have slept since I saw it. Ha... I would be all for a house cleaning group. Nawww... I don't think it would matter. Cheers.

It is cool that you can have fun along with other artsy people in blog land.

It is a good thing to connect with those with similar interests,being inspired and sharing. I enjoy seeing your art work, and those of your artsy friends, because it is so beyond me!
That's really neat collection!!
This is truly great!
I love doing a lot of things as well and hate house work mainly because its not appreciated.
I wish to have my own room to work in but I don't so Things get started and then they are put on hold.
So far I did a lot of knitting of shawls and hats and scarves and sweaters and this makes me happy because the projects don't take long to do. The christmas throw I showed on my blog.I should do one for Easter and thanks giving etc...
Well I still have time.:)
