Over at the Yahoo Group, Gingersnap Creations, we are having a bookmark art exchange, titled, Travel the World. Bookmarks are rather easy to do but unfortunately you can't really add too many embellies because of their sole purpose. So for every bookmark I looked up some info about each of the countries or city and put a little blurp about the landmark or the area. A piece of trivia you may call it. This was actually fun finding out things you didn't know.
I have posted my bookmarks but there is a possible Canada Post strike looming and we won't know til tonight if an agreement has been made, if not they go on strike. Delay and delays and more delays.
So I have opted not to sign up for any swaps from here on til I know for sure and time to take a bit of a break from things. I am still waiting for results on my car. The garage was very busy the day we dropped it off but tomorrow is Friday and I would really like to have my wheels back. Driving the big truck isn't really my thing but at least we have another vehicle to drive. I don't seem to be in much of a creating mood of late so just sitting back and maybe once I sit again it will all come back to me.
Thanks for dropping by and I always love to read your comments.
These are great, maybe the postal people will settle on a agreement to benefit all. Since in in USA I won't get one, but whoever does is very lucky.
ReplyDeleteOh Les, these are just gorgeous!! You always do such a great job with whatever you are working on. I hope you all don't have a postal strike so you don't stop crafting...I need my dose of Harmony Road creativity every few days! :D
