M.I.A. Once Again

It's been a little while since I posted last.  I've had a lot on my plate so to speak.  The biggest thing is work.  My job that I've had for nearly 3 months now takes up a lot of my time.  Plus, I've discovered a new web site, a new obsession, and a new (to me anyway) art form.

The web site is called Swap-Bot and it is my newest obsession.  The gist of it is, you sign up for swaps that interest you.  Swap-bot then randomly assigns you a partner.  Based on the parameters of the swap, you will be sending a package of some sort to your partner.  In return, you will receive a package from whomever was assigned to send to you.  It's quite addicting, but you get to collect things from different parts of the world.

Because of Swap-bot, I have become enamored with Artist Trading Cards.  I have not made very many, but the idea appeals to me - working with such a small space.  It's less intimidating when trying something new.  I'm trying to take pics and post them on Flickr, but so far I only have 2 uploaded.

Finally, I've joined the EtsyBloggers Team on Etsy.  I hope that this will goad me in to posting more often.
