Connie....hahaha....it's actually a rabbit! Part of a sheet of vintage scrap art rabbits. He had to wear a bonnet so his ears were hidden. Let me see what I can do for making you a cat ATC...you know I've always got ideas spinning in the old hamster wheel!
Can't wait for more pictures!

Connie, it will be my pleasure to make you a cat....I love sending farmgirl mail...you know I do! I can't see without my old lady glasses either. I'm constantly taking them off and putting them on...I have like 85 pairs all over the house. Then I'll forget I have them on and start walking around and tripping over my own feet! It sucks to get old!
Oh, and I can't wait for Halloween ATC's!
Hugs!

You Gals are too funny & I can relate to the 85 pairs of cheaters (glasses) lurking about :) I have so many pairs. I buy them every time I go to the Dollar Store LOL . I forget they are on & have actually come accustomed to wearing them without falling & tripping, as long as they aren't like a 200 Mag. I have to smile because I liked the cat AKA bunny ATC the best. I figured it had to be a bunny :) Well, off to Hobby Lobby tomorrow :) I know I will not be able to sleep, just like the night before Santa or the Easter Bunny would come LOL. My mind has been reeling with all the goodness that awaits me :) I made a promise to myself not to go over board :) Now, mind you I do not get out much ( My choice ), this area is packed with all sorts of stores & we may even venture to the huge Jo Ann Fabrics store :) I might even get to throw in a stop at the Goodwill too ;) Feels like HEAVEN to me :)

Hi Connie,
I can't believe your package arrived so quickly! It just went out Saturday afternoon. I'm so glad you enjoyed the ATC's and little basket full of goodies. I, too, love scrabble, love, love it!! Well, I received a large box in the mail today, and a fun basket full of all kinds of goodies, thank you!! You really packed it full. Your bonnet ATC's are beautiful. It's so fun to see how creative everyone is in both their art and definition. I also love the chocolate, already ate some, and my husband offered to help me with the big bunny. The towel is sweet and fun for spring. I'm sure my one year old will love looking at the bunny rabbit. The seeds are great, and thank you for the card, too. I am sending one in the mail since I forgot to include it in your package! Thanks again, Connie, so much fun! And from another post I saw you were recently in Ireland? We went last May, so beautiful, I loved it, and fit right in! We took our then 6 month old with, he loved it, too! :)
Basket full of goodies!
Bonnet ATC's Connie made for me!

Look how beautiful !!! I would love to visit Ireland. My son had a lay over there & said it is truly green, at least what he seen of it :) I have going there on my bucket list, also Scotland. I watch The Quiet Man all the time for the scenery & quaint ways that Ireland has to offer :) I love that movie.

Maddie the movie Far and Away, with Tom Cruise was filmed there too in Killarney park! The Jaunty Driver told us that many famous films were shot there. I want to see far and away again cause we visited many of the spots that are in the movie. I want to put it back on my Bucket list and knock something else off! LOL! I just stood there unable to say any words, to describe what my eyes were seeing. and the colors of the flowers are so brilliant there, because it stays cool all year long,warmest Temps are in July, 75 for the highs no snakes and no mosquitos!!

Hi All :) Well, I made it to & back from Hobby Lobby. WOW! we got there at 9 am when it opened & left 3 hours later & we still did not see everything. We chose to for go the decorating isles until I get my craft room painted & my flooring put down. We are going back for sure ;) I did the driving & my poor friend never drove with me in defensive mode. My DH told me to be on my guard as it is congested & the other drivers act like nuts, leaving their house late for work. He was right, shhh, don't tell him :) I think my poor friend almost had a heart attack. When it was all said in done, we laughed about it LOL We had a gorgeous day weather wise & wonderful day, we even stopped for lunch, we needed nourishment & then a we stopped at a thrift store :) The thrift gods were with me as I found something I was looking for this very time last year & got it for a mere 2 dollars. I guess you could say it was a HEAVENLY day ;)

Oh Dear Maddie!!! You overdid it. I feel so spoiled by you but it is really too much! A big old cookie, lots o' candy, covered brads, a mini butterfly punch, a glitter notebook, flower seeds, a cookie cutter, pen and embroidered towel. And, of course, your version of a basket . . . a bright and sunny yellow handbag . . . WOW. All that on top of the sweet Easter ATCs that you made. I love it all. Thank you soooo much.

Oh! Sharon I am so glad the package made it :) Thank You for posting pictures, you take nice ones ;) I am also very glad you liked what I put together. When I seen those purses, well, I lost all control. I am such a Bag Lady LOL. Wanted to put more in but ran out of room. The candy bar ( Sarris ), is a local favorite. I had a lot of fun making the ATC's, coming up with ideas & then seeing them come to be ;) Thank You for being a great swap partner & making my first time as a hostess, nice :)
