Sharing with each other...

This is a little digital collage of a really cool "scrap" of Seth art, that I made after receiving a gorgeous, generous goodie package from Seth at The Altered Page. We did an impromptu swap of scraps and neat little stuff we wanted to share, and it was ALL the fun... although it's kind of hard to guess what someone else will like, especially when you've never met the person face to face, or seen their home or environment. It's a real crap shoot, but Seth did a great job of choosing things for me... the things he chose were layered and earthy and totally different from anything I have that I've made, or found on my own; and I love that. It was such a treat opening all the tied packages Seth put together, and the envelopes closed with cool little bamboo clips... I really appreciate all the effort he went to in putting it all together!

This swap reminds me of Calligraphy workshops I've attended, where I've met some of THE most generous people... people more than happy to share their supplies, to share their knowledge, to give of themselves. We've got a really great little community growing here and it's so cool to be a part of it!

HEY! Speaking of sharing with each other...

Check this out! Julie Prichard, over at The Land of Lost Luggage is hosting a terrific tutorial on how she makes her gorgeous journal pages. Please be sure to swing by "her place" and take a look... this sort of post takes an enormous amount of time to prepare, and she's done a great job with it.

I've picked up SO many tricks I'd never thought of, and probably never WOULD have thought of, if left to my own defenses! So please support Julie's efforts and go check out her tutorial, and be sure to leave her a comment... I KNOW she'd appreciate hearing from you! Thanks, and have a great day! Now, GO MAKE SOMETHING!

Thanks Kathy for all your kind words! I am so glad that you liked what I sent. And I love what you created with the scrap too -- you worked your magic with letters once again!!
