BTW, I have just KarenM's bird page to make, and mine will be going postal on Monday (I hope).

My pages are really bizzy this time around, but I like them. I made stormarela an "Old Maid" page . . . so there's that to toss in with the tic-tac-toes! (OY, yours are all awesome!) I can't wait to see more of everyone's!

[OriginalYouth]

Amy, your entire finished birdy is on my flickr, I find him close to my heart. :)

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2263/2332690835_2c47e09c92.jpg

Carol, the bottom left is the 'aborginal' one, I did a loose interpretation, but kept it with swirls and dots. Hope it's suitable.

[KarenM]

Giving a "yell out" here :)

Wonderful examples of Aboriginal Art can be seen @

www.aboriginalartstore.com.au/

LOTS to look at, in case you need inspiration ...I did :D

[monarch]

[Lisaswings]

Hi Carol,
I would love to join your swap!! I'm Lisa Dawson. I know I know your name from somewhere. I think I was one of your secret sisters from PC?, or from somewhere else. Please help me try and remember. I just joined and was taking a look around the site and checking out swaps. I was like, Wow, hey, I know her!!! I would like my theme to be bluebirds with a nest. If I need to narrow it down, just put bird if you think I should change it. Nice to see a familiar name! Lisa

[monarch]

lisaawings - My mind has been thinking tooooooo.......Your name is so familiar........If I remember, I'll let you know...................Anyway thanks a bunch for signing up!!!!! Your theme should be just fine.......Have fun making your pages!!!!!

[poshscot]

AFternoon ladies, I'm having trouble getting the black and white stripe fabric for my zetti pages, does anyone have any spare bits they'd be happy to send, I'll happy send you some haberdashery goodies?

Lou x

[monarch]

poshscot - I'm going to check right now........

[monarch]

I have a few things that will work for you....I'll mail them out tomorrow.......

[poshscot]

I have a few things that will work for you....I'll mail them out tomorrow.......

Thats fabulous, thanks, anything in particular you'd like in return? Silks, Ribbon, beads, banana fibres etc?

Lou x

[monarch]

amyfaerie - You package is here.......Thanks so much for taking part in this swap!!!!!

[spunkygal]

HI, I am assuming that Lisawings is going to be the 7th person in group 2? So many birds in this group..... this will be fun. My next book is going to be birds and birdhouses also. Such a great subject!

[poshscot]

Heres my Games page : Pin the tail on the donkey, and my Raven page, I think it needs a bit more work, but will have a think as I quite like its simplicity

Lou x

[poshscot]

And the finished Raven, off to the gym now!!

[amyfaerie]

interesting raven page, poshscot! i'm glad to hear my pages arrived, monarch! :D

[poshscot]

Ok, page no 3, Under the Sea. I'd planned to do seahorses but the orange felt kept jumping out at me!!! I'm really enjoying myself now I've got going!! And colourful zetti, not what I planned but think its effective. Thinking ROBOTESS is next, can I pull it off?

[monarch]

poshscot - Fantastic pages!!!!!! I love my starfish!!!! Thanks a bunch!!!!

[poshscot]

Heres my last 2 pages, really enjoyed making all the pages girls, hope you enjoy them.

Lou x

[OriginalYouth]

[poshscot]

Carol, my pages were posted yesterday, I included some $'s to cover postage.

Lou x

[jetleg]

Monarch...I am thinking Lisawings is the 7th person in Group 2 with birds? Do you mind adding her in...so i don't have a brain freeze or something. thanks...Bluebirs with nest, right Lisa?
lisaawings - My mind has been thinking tooooooo.......Your name is so familiar........If I remember, I'll let you know...................Anyway thanks a bunch for signing up!!!!! Your theme should be just fine.......Have fun making your pages!!!!!
