Now I thought I'd do something a wee different today, but first I'd like to show you my ATC that I sent to the lovely Rita last Wednesday for our 3rd Anniversary swap.
The front and the back.
I really enjoyed making this my first ATC and I used stamps by Marion Emberson together with Spellbinder die Labels 8 and Distress stains.
Moving on....yesterday my wee man had a day off school so rather than showing you my work desk as I can't get near it, I thought I'd share our work space.
We got up to a wee bit of crafting together.
A little decoupaging together.
My son is covering a C with camouflage napkins and I am covering a pig with orange tissue paper ready to turn it in to a Harley biker pig or HOG for Father's day. These are great little projects to do with kids and hopefully I will get to show you the finished articles next week.
Pop along to the lovely Julia's blog to see what other like minded crafters are up to this week.
Finally I have been asked if I can post this as the Sugar Nellie team are looking for new Design members, if you are interested the details are below....
It only remains for me to wish you all a very happy Wednesday and thanks for popping on over. x

Oh, your ATC is GORGEOUS!! Absolutely beautiful, Rita is one lucky girl! I really enjoyed the whole ATC experience and I didn't even make any! Am swapping other things instead though with the people who sent me stuff! Crafting with kids is such fun they don't worry about perfection, just enjoy the making. I love the idea of a Hog for Father's Day :)
Hugs, LLJ #70 xx

Your son is talented, sure that he will make a superb creation !

Hi Erika what great fun to be covering piggies with your son. Do you have to resist the temptation to over supervise? I was terrible with my eldest and am trying very hard not to do the same to my youngest! :-) WOYWW Hugs from Helen 105

Hello!
Love your post of your shared workspace - I shared my love of crafts and art with all 3 of my sons growing up and many good memories. They all still create as adults. Wishing you a happy one!

I always loved spending time creating with my kids. It is so rewarding to see it grow as they do. Thanks for sharing. Sorry I am so late getting around again this week but with the growing numbers and 'life' it just takes longer to get it done. Have a great week. Vickie #51
