In a scramble for ZNE Convenzione

The ZNE Convenzione art retreat is starting this Friday and there's so much to do! I have no excuse; it's been on my to-do for weeks, but it wasn't until Sunday morning (!) that it hit me that I had no more time and I started to pull things together. Here's the photo diary of my to-do list.

1. Get art supplies together and get last-minute items (e.g., wash apron, buy plastic stencils and baby wipes, and look for white lace, buttons, and clip art) - finished tonight!



2. Make charms in case anyone wants to swap charms - done! (except I might make a few more ... if there's time)


3. Make goody bags in case anyone wants to swap goodies - done!


4. Make ATCs in case anyone wants to swap ATCs - just getting started (gulp!)


5. Collect maps, instructions, sign-ups, lists, anything I can think of, so I don't forget or get lost - done!



That's all for now; I'm a slave to the ATCs for the rest of the evening!

What happened to July?

And the first half of August? Wow, I've really fallen behind! I got a little burned out on taking pictures (two weeks of snapping shots of stationery every night will do that to you), so everytime I meant to post, I'd think, "Oh, but I don't have any pictures of [xyz] yet." But now it's time to catch up! I want to tell you about the black and white charm swap and The Little Black Box and the stuff I've been designing and the charms I'm working on now and some zines I found on Etsy and... Where's my camera? I need to get busy...
