The way the swap works is we'll make and swap a mini sampler stitched piece each month so that at the end of the year we'll have several pieces to make into a beautiful hand stitched garland. Isn't that a great idea? I think so too. My January mini sampler was stitched by <a href="http://sistermarybeckyi.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Becky</a> and I just love it! Look at all the wonderful details. She sent along a fun tag and nestled the sampler in its own stamped bag. Thank you so much Becky!<br />

My February sampler came from <a href="http://sallyanniemagundy.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Sally </a>and it's so pretty. I love the vintage images and the sweet spring colors. Sally slipped the sampler in a decorated envelope and also included a lovely handmade card. Thank you Sally!<br />

This is our big old table that sits between the kitchen and the living room. I love that Sal and Peppy look like they're peeking out of the tray. If you look at the window ledge between the chair back you can see a few of Q's collection of old Santas....they stay out all year long. This past year I gave the table top a coating of chalkboard paint. When everyone's together we have a great time drawing all over it!</div>

I won't go into all of the reasons but lets just chalk it all up to changes. Some good and some less so. But, the other day I realized I was missing something and maybe this is it. So, here I am. I've decided to play along in <a href="http://www.susannahconway.com/the-august-break-2014/" target="_blank">Susannah Conway's August Break</a>. I'll let you read her description: <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">This is a community project that has no real rules – <strong>the idea is to simply take a photograph every day for the whole of August.</strong> <em>That’s it.</em>
Pause, look around you and shoot what you see. Live inside each moment.
Pay attention to what’s there. If it’s the summer where you are it’s a
lovely way to be present to the moments that will be gone before you
know it. If it’s the winter, what better way to liven up your day than
with a creative project to play with? :)<br /><br />You can use any camera.
You could shoot every day or every other day or just on weekends. You
can share your photos or just enjoy taking them without sharing. You can
start and not finish. You can join in at the end.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="color: black;">Susannah has also provided a list of daily prompts to inspire the photographs here:</span></span></span><br />

I was sitting at my desk yesterday looking at a <a href="http://www.realsimple.com/" target="_blank">Real Simple</a> magazine when I turned the page to find a brochure for Nest smoke detectors attached to the page. As I usually do when I come up on one of those annoying attachments in a magazine I tore it out and dropped it in my waste basket. But then it looked at me and I took it out of the trash and looked at it again. It was a handy size...about 5 inches square and there was only a single image on each white page. At first I thought I might cut out some of the images (see that cute red suitcase?) to use in my journals. Then, I thought I would just turn the whole brochure into a journal...you know, because I always need ANOTHER journal! I painted the cover and added a few images. I happened to have an envelope full of old paper ephemera (thank you <a href="http://dreamingofcastles.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Lyneen</a>) in my desk drawer. I pulled it out and started covering the pages of the brochure. Before I knew it...a journal was born! Now, all my pages are started and just waiting for more collage and journaling. I love serendipitous projects like this! And since everything I used was something I already had sitting in my desk drawers and the magazine was given to me I didn't have to spend a penny. Love it!<br />

Linda has designed it so each swapper sends to one person but receives from a different one. I think this keeps it interesting and fun...I love mixing it up. This month I received my swap from Bev of <a href="http://countryfrogcreations.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Country Frog Creations</a>. After checking in with each other at the beginning of the month I realized I'd actually received some lovely things from Bev a few years back when we were both swapping regularly with the Red Lead group. This is one of the best parts of getting back into paper crafting...all the wonderful people I've "met" through the years who love to do this too! Take a look at the fun package Bev sent to me. She wrapped it in old dress pattern paper. I love to do that too!<br />

I love the card and tag she made for me and look at all the swell red stash things she treated me to. I know I'll have fun using the buttons, cards and game pieces. The vintage Valentine is hilarious. You can move the girl's head and the boys eyes. Depending on the mood he can be looking at her, looking shyly away or looking scared to death! So funny!<br />
