The Last Two

You aren't going to believe this.

I woke up to snow falling. That's right, I said SNOW! Here! It was really pretty... the rooftops were all white.

Of course it's all melted now, but it was nice while it was here.

I have my last two Silver Bella swaps to share with you today.

First up is the A to Z swap. I showed you mine in this post, well, here they are all together.

Pretty cool, huh? Amanda, the hostess, put all of hers on a painted canvas and then had us all sign our names under our cards. I had originally planned on putting all of mine on a canvas too, but now I'm not sure that I have any room to hang it. So, they may all just go into my ATC binder.
Here is a list of all of the artists:
A - Amy Powers
B - Suzanne Duda
C - Cari Kraft
D - Denise Nelson
E & K - Amanda Willey
F & T - Vicki Flinchum
G - Mendy Mitrani
H - Heather Ales
I - Ida Mae Couch
J - Wanda Clark
L - Bianca Gaspard
M & U - Susie Vergenz
N - Me
O - Lori Oles
P - Wendy Robrecht
Q - Julie Baxley
R - Barbara Mooney
S - Lisa Thompson
V - Valita Baxley
W - Peggy Lucas
X - Christine Hutcherson
Y - Stephanie Oyler
Z - Princess Lasertron

The last swap I have to show you, is the finished Rebecca Sower Inspired Apron.


Here are some close ups... sorry for the blur.

Elizabeth Shea, Shannon Johnson, Julie Baxley and mine.

Carol Ryan, Heather Ales, Sheila Rumney, Mollie MaCabe, Melissa Danner, Sharon Giordano.

Stacy McGinnis, Cynthia Flores, Sandra Marotti.

Whew, there's a lot of linkage happenin' here today.

So that's it for the swaps. Next up the class projects.

Have a beautiful day!

Those aprons are absolutely beautiful. Surely too pretty to wear while cooking. Nice work!

Those aprons ARE trully lovely. I enjoyed looking at all the little details added in. I had heard thru another blog about the snow in TX. Unbelievable. I wonder if it means we are all in for a crazy-weather winter this year. Have a good weekend, Alisa, hugs, Debby

Both the swaps are great! I love the apron!
No snow here (we hardly have snow here), but a lot of rain. Lovely weather to stay at home, and make things cosy!

Wow!!! I'm speechless at the crafts-womanship here! It's gorgeous, Alisa.

My brother in EL PASO got snow & we still haven't here in Albuquerque! How crazy is that?!

Those cards are awesome and the apron...Wow! I love it! Beautiful!Did you capture your snow on film? We sometimes get it too..the kids love it. I grew up north in probably the city which accumulates the most snow in the US..I don't really miss it.A light dusting is pretty though!

Oh, Alisa, the apron is like a sampler! Much too pretty to wipe one's hands on, but lovely to wear at a special get-together just to show it off! Beautiful!!!

If you make the angels' wings that I was inspired to create from the cieldorage blog, please let me know so I can see yours!! I had so much fun creating mine! Everyone's will take a different twist!

I will definitely be making more candle 'bracelets' for gifts this year! So special but little cost!

Thank you for your comments and it's always lovely to see you posting!

I could hardly even look at those dang aprons at Silver Bella, they were too beautiful. Yes, that is such a thing to me.

That's really nice for you to do all those links.

I heart Silver Bella.

Cindy said...

Both are wicked cool. But I really like the alpha cards. Each persons personality comes through. What a fun swap!

Oh How I wish I could go to Silber Bella. All of these after Bella posts are really making me long for it. I love the Rebecca Sower inspired aprons. She makes the best stuff. I have just received Somerset Studio with her featured in it.
