to be sketchy at best for me in the bloggy department: another weekend away
is coming up, school is starting soon, and we're moving our shop all within the
next few weeks.
This is the only little something I've had time to make this week:

Arts Magazine--it's not textured paper, it's actually a textured plastic from a
company called Wee Scapes, and is typically used for building tiny houses for
model train displays! It's colored with Staz-On, just patted on the top of the bricks.
Here's the work table--all part of the massive sorting out:

And look at this AWESOME postcard I received in the mail from Eliza, also known
as Queenartoypia:

| all the way from Australia |
Eliza, I was thrilled--even the envelope is beautiful! THANK YOU!!!! Plus, you
probably know Eliza is one of our WOYWW sisters, so that made it even more
exciting. (Okay, yes, you're right, I cried a little bit!)
Thank you, Julia, for the WOYWW party--it's always fun to see what everyone is up
to. Have a great week, everyone. I hope to "see" you soon! For those of you who
had to hunt around a little to find me this week, I apologize for linking up incorrectly,
and thank you for taking the time to click around a bit to find the right post.

A clean out/straighten up, huh?! I see the pompons are all wrapped on spools. So pretty. Looks like you need another bottle of glue....let's see...don't mind me I'll just nose around for a bit. :) Love Eliza postcard! Cool background on the ATC. Hugs Nan #8
Oh good, at least you can tell I've actually done something! Had to wrap the poms, they were getting all tangled . . .
:)
Thank you for the early morning visit already
Looks like your having a good old sort out
The mail art envelope was nice a nice surprise I'm sure!

That brick background on your fabulous ATC is awesome!! I have seen that stuff at Hobby Lobby and would have snapped some up if I had known it could look this great!
How fun to receive such delightful mail art!!
Happy WOYWW!

Oh Yippee you received it, thought you should have it by now. Thanks for the praise too. I was going to post the card on it's own then the weather got bad and I thought oh no, wet, prefer envelope to get damaged before postcard. Anyway you inspired me so thank you too.
Hugs Eliza & Yoda 24
Happy WOYWW
Wow you have been busy and it's all mon stop too. Looks like you have squeezed the like out of your tacky glue .... It looks how I feel hehe

Great works, and also love that postcard and envelope.

What is it about ATCs? They are just the perfect thing when you want to make something arty but don't want to devote the entire day to it. The small size means they don't take up a ton of room, and the dimensions mean there is such easy storage and display options. Really, they are the near perfect thing to dabble in!
Love these. And I have a fondness for mail art too!
Happy WOYWW!

Wow Trisha, I am loving your brick background on your ATC and all those beautiful trims you brought. Great Postcard too! Happy WOYWW! Danie #14
Hi Trisha,
Cleaning, sorting, moving and school......what are you doing in your spare time?? I'm doing none of the above but still have a very busy month with 2 more birthdays and company coming. Adorable ATC!
Thanks for the visit.
Krisha #19
Lol, you don't have to justify the messy desk with the "clean out angle", we just like a messy desk to look at! Sounds like you're really busy right now too, glad to see you're still making time for crafting though. Gotta love that happy mail! Old cars are always fun, you never quite know just what they're going to do!
Hugs

LOl, Oh Brenda, I've never been one to justify the messy desk--my desk is NEVER "clean," but sometimes it has fewer layers on it!
:)
Aw, you soppy thing...but I also adore getting international post too...I do a happy dance :-) everything is looking great on your post this week!
Hugs, LLJ 57 xx
Love that bricked background as it really makes the couple stand out! Love the happy mail and very busy looking desk! Enjoy!
Thanks for swinging by my blog. Looks like you are having a good tidy up, I love doing that, feels very satisfying when you are done. Love Eliza's postcard, how gorgeous is that! Cx #31
It sounds like you've a lot of work ahead of you but Im sure you'll get there. How sweet that Eliza sent such an arty treasure. Neet also received one which she showed it to me when we met on Saturday at the Vicky Stampers workshop.Cool!
Thanks for all your lovely comments and I hope you DO get out that stamp board. It's so great to play with.

Lovely ATC. I know that little plastic well - I used to help my dad build his model train displays. I always got the "extra" pieces to use in my own little projects. Happy WOYWW -Mari K. #13
You certainly are going to be busy with everything going on and a clean out as well. Love your ATC and the one you received is gorgeous. The envelope is really fab.
Have a great week.

i love your sweet ATC -- that background plastic (really?) is cool. amazing postcard you got from australia. have a great remainder of the week and best success with all the transitions and challenges and kid stuff et al! xo.
Hi Trisha - I usually cry when I get nice things in the mail too as it is so rare nowadays - usually just bills and junk mail LOL... have a great week Mxx WOYWW #97
I've really enjoyed my snoop today. You have lots of fab stash. Love the ATC.
Hugs,

Thanks Trish for visiting my blog :-). Love your ATC and isn't it funny where we get our inspiration and materials from! I used corrugated cardboard and grunged it up with coffee and tea stains on my last canvas! Hope you have a great week and happy WOYWW.
Janene #22
It sounds like you are a very busy lady. Once you get your stash straightened, you're more than welcome to come sort out mine. ;-)

Love your atc and the brickwork has coloured up really well.
Great pc from Eliza and cool envelope too.
Hugs, Neet xx 50
Very Sweet ATC you made and is that a whole selection of may arts pom pom ribbons ohh drool!!!
hugs Nikki 7
I collect postcard, love the ones you received. I had been participating in www.postcrossing. I have sent 300 postcards and received 300 postcard all around the world. Kim 56
I'm playing catch up after having been offline for nearly three days due to internet woes associated with our recent rain. I adore that ATC. I haven't seen an Altered Arts mag for years. They sort of got less appealing to me than Somerset, although their prices were a bit better. Glad to see their boxes are doing well, though. And don't we all love mail art? Yah!
Happy quite belated WOYWW from #2.
Ooh I love the idea of colouring the wall with Stayz-On it looks really effective.
Kyla #87
Ps I have also bogged about your postcard I received, many thanks x
