♪♪Say say oh playmates.. come out and play with me♪♪ Its SWAP time

heres a little shadow box I made last year for a sweet friends birthday!
Come on all you creative wonderful ladies, dying to get started on your halloween art! Its time to annouce a new swap! I hope everyone is up for a little halloween challange. This one is something a little different.

This one will be a halloween shadow box swap . You will have one partner that you will swap with, YOur swap piece must consist of hand made items , but you may incorporate it into a store bought shadow box if you want to and you can use some bought items if desired as well.

Sign ups will be from now through August 12th. Partners will be assigned the weekend of the August 15th and you will have until October 7th to mail them out.

You need to have an active blog so that your partner can see who you are and what you like and what kind of art you do!

Please email me with your name, mailing address and blog address at vivianneroni@yahoo.com

As usual, before mailing, everyone should take pictures of their pieces and forward them to me so I can post them all at one time the week of halloween!

YOu can use what ever mediums you choose to use for this project. But it has to be special, like something you dont want to give away! I suggest you make two! one for yourself to keep as well!

Now call me crazy! Cause I'm going to run 2 swaps simultaneously! The second one is a Halloween pinkeep! Same rules as above apply! When you email me besure to let me know which one youre doing or if youre crazy like me and you want to do both!
heres a pinkeep I made last year also, I think for the same friend who got the shadow box!

OK.. Sign ups start now! I'll be excietedly checking my emails to see whose coming out to play with me!!
oh please do!
oh! and please spread the word!
I posted a swap badge on the side bar here for you to use if you want to!
hugs!!

Viv!!! Love the shadowbox swap! You hooked me in with the little playmates song. I'll be singing that one all day now. My grandmother used to sing it to me!

Hi Viv,

Yes, it has been so very hectic.

Ok-sign me up for both- I know when the time comes that I will be going crazy, but I've been trying to get into the Halloween mode now to get ready for a few shows, so this should get me thinking and started!

Thanx for commenting lovely words about my niece and her hubby.

Kip feels as if he's even lost another pound or two, in just 3 days! But he's doing a little of everything except the eating. If it weren't for all his fluff, he'd look anorexic. It's when he's on your lap and light as a feather that it's scary.

He's hiding out under Lara's bed. Poor baby- hate to force him to eat liquified food with syringe. But he's still growling-which is a good sign. He's a toughee.

I pray that he makes it through.xo la

Stay Cozy, Carrie

Hi Viv, what a wonderful idea for your swaps. I love the idea of both of them...what oh what will I do. I guess sign me up for the shadowbox, and if you don't have enough people for the pinkeep, let me know, maybe I can do both. xxoo Valarie
