Shabby Jules

"Swap-bot's Attic Treasures Matchbox Swap"

note that she ingeniously created a treasure chest with a lid that opens to reveal goodies

"VE Spring Fling Swap"

Isn't it amazing how even vast miles apart you can befriend someone all because of the internet?

Well I am fortunate enough to have done so with an amazing artist Jullie Dodds from Australia. She is such a kindred spirit.

"Shabby Jules" is in many of my groups & I've been lucky enough to have landed her as a swap partner x2! Above are some of the amazing goods I've been lucky enough to have received.

I've had a bit of fortunate news this week on a personal note. I will have a local gift shop / boutique selling some of my art! It's still in the works but I hope to meet with the owner again this week.

I also met with the owner of the local scrapbook store & she would like to have me teach some classes of my choosing!

woo-hoo! I am thrilled with both bits of good news!

and to borrow Jules fav saying:

"An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle but it will never break." (chinese proverb)
