ATC SWAP

My dear friend Kimberly at ArtJOYstuff  has been having weekly fun with ATC's. If you'd like to participate hop on over to her blog and read the details. You'll enjoy the visit. She is a wonderful designer, so much variety and unusual Mixed Media.  I'd love to see her studio!~!~!
                                                                   
                                                                         A great idea.

I was able to get to be  the exchange of #25. I'm behind on creating as "Life" as some things I needed to do.
So will mail off Kim's ATC, no doubt Monday, the weekend is here and our P.O. is only open AM hrs.now   I'll post my ATC photo after she receives it.

But this is what she has created for me and I received it yesterday
I love it.  The image reminds me of a book I loved to read as a child, The Adventures of  Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn.  I think it was the Tomboy in me, but I secretly wished I was with them on every adventure. Pretending to be independent, getting wet from fishing and dirty from the adventures of seeking out new spots.

This was some of the packaging I was so happy to open. The ATC has so much detail, a cloth Alpha seam tape with a tiny little feather attached with an old metal tab. Some little sparkly on the stamped fun circles. Mr. Sun placed in a tin frame, fun old gold decals on the top and right side. An this adorable male image of a young adventures boy, wearing some great colored clothing. And  Isn't it the cutest of caps! (I gave one to my dad and hubby a few years back)  DETAIL, DETAIL, it all makes for a "Little Treasured" ATC.

 THANKS SO MUCH KIMBERLY. I love your blog and all the fun you have provided with the Swaps.

I agree that Kim does create some wonderful lil ATC's and what a fantastic idea to do the swapping for them as she does. I follow her blog regularly.
