Swaps Gifts and E-Courses!!!

We know summer has started here in Abaco when we start having multiple power outages everyday!!!

UGH!!!!

It has made me get VERY behind on work, blogging and swapping.

When I have had time to surf the internet, I have been taking an e-course by Kelly Rae Roberts, called "Flying Lessons"  It is about making your creative business soar.  It just started on Sunday and I am enjoying every moment so far.

Today she talked about doing other e-courses and blogging.  So I went searching for more e-courses I could take.

I found a photography course called "Picture Summer", by Tracey Clark, and thought this would be good for me since I have a very nice Canon Rebel, don't really know how to use it and I am never pleased with the pictures I take of my artwork or for my blog.  It is only a 30 day course and hopefully it will push me to play with my camera and try some new things.

While the power was out earlier I was playing with my muse, Sunshine, and the camera.....

Then I ran out after lunch to pick up my mail and more swap envelopes were awaiting me!!!!!

From Jennie at www.cloverandviolet.com I received my embroidery quilt.

This is so pretty and summery!!!! Thanks so much Jennie!  It is the perfect little embroidery quilt!

I also received my Anything Goes Mini Quilt from Sara of SaraSQuilts on Flickr.

I cannot believe how small she made those flying geese!!! And I love all the colorful fabrics with the solid gray!! Thank you Sara...I LOVE IT!!!

Also awaiting me was another African Flower crochet block from the Raverly Swap....from Val in the UK!

Along with two little coasters, some candy and a pair of stitch markers.  Thanks so much Val!!

So this was my whole bundle here.....

I'll be back soon to show you some new jewelry pieces.

Time to run off and do some agility with my dog and her doggie friends at class!
