I got my houses yesterday but didn't have time to open the package until today. Wow! They are awesome and I can't wait to hang them up. Thanks Beth for the twine, fabric scraps and clothes pins. Such a creative lady you are!
Cheers! ~ Marilyn

I received my package 2 days ago. Thank you everyone. This was my first swap ever. I wasn't exactly sure how to make my houses so they were a little plain. My next one (christmas), will be more festive.
Thank you Beth for putting it all together.

Debbie, My first ATC Swap (Artist Trading Cards) were kinda plain. I learned to make them more 3D byusing foam mounting tape.You can get at Wal-Mart or craft stores. Iuse a lot of magazine pics and glitter and decopage glue.I did a lot of decopage in the 1970's and I love it. I personally dont like stickers or too many store bought embellishments. I adore all the ones I get. Art is in the eye of the beholder! I am looking forward to doing better each time too! I like to take magazine pics and add to them, and recycle at the same time! Also on my halloween House Roofs, I used paint sample cards from Lowes and Wal-mart and they are Free!

I have done 4 of Beth's ATC swaps and This halloween House Swap and just saw that you can send 20 of the same thing! I put so much time and thought into each one, But I would be bored outta my Halloween Skull doing 20 of the same thing! That is what makes it fun to me, going in a totally differnet direction for each one. Well, if I get pressed for time ,nice to know I can do that, I know only one goes to each person, so it really doesn't matter.

Hey Connie :) I am just like you, I sat & did 20 different houses :) I drew mine though. I am just getting the hang of using mixed media in my work, I usually draw. I also take advantage of the paint cards from Lowes. Home Depot & Walmart's are GREAT Too ;) Debbie, I think we all start out alittle plain, until we get the hang of it. Your house I received is just fine by me ;) I loved everyone's work, I smile every time I look at them :)

Hi Connie :) that's so cool! My house is the skinny one with the ghost and spider on the front to the left in your pic :)
