Hi All - I changed the Swap Start Date (the date your items must be sent by) to November 29th as there were over 10 NOT SENTS.

MaltaGirl - Still waiting on an ornament from you... : (

Coffeelatte 12/13/2006 #

Very belated thank you to those who sent me such beautiful gifts of art. Sacredsnatch, Bekka and Caroline -- I am showing these off to everyone who comes by. Thank you, so much!

Vidriosa - Isn't that strange how you got that part of the map where your husband's faily is from? I just sent an ATC in a trade and used the name "Rudy" on it -- she sent me back a message that her dad AND brother are both named Rudy...you think I am getting subtle vibrations when I work on these creative pieces?

Cindy - You must be phsychic ! Wow - you actually had a part of Chihuhua on the map and the cities close by to where the original family ranch is - we still visit there in the summers ! I love the ornament and it's front and center on my tree - thanks so much !

vidriosa 12/14/2006 #

Everyone !! Lets do our best to post pictures of what we received so that everyone can enjoy, get ideas and more. Thanks so much for participating in this great swap.
