ATC Addicted

 ..this is what i have been arting since we were all huddled up in the house and could not go anywhere.  It was a struggle! Yes the house is messy my kids are not the only ones to blame...hehehe(shh i did not just admit that)  But as anyone who has ever had kids knows the feeling of just turning a blind eye..  I do find when i have been a little artistic that helps me open up more to keeping on task at home..isn't that weird?   hehe well that is my excuse and i'll run with it.  I have been arting while the kids have been sleeping which is no easy task when i want to curl up and do the same, but when i have the quiet time i have that urge to pick up pencil and paper.  I finished 2 more atc's that are on their way to the owner and i can show y'all since my friend is not a blogger but she is an awesome artist..  i am rather happy with them.    hope you like them as mush as i do.  and please your comments will be most welcome.  oh and i do reply! p.s.  click to view larger oh and visit artists in blogland image!

I am getting there i have been working on my art journal too but have not had the chance to take pics may in the next day or 2.  Well now i have to wrangle up the kiddos and brush teeths because mom will be arting soon...I hope...hehe
