September!

Midway rides and prize stuffed animals
bigger than your kids!

As you can guess, our theme is Carnivals and Fairs for this challenge.

You don't have to be a member of Paper_Traders Yahoo Art group to participate
but if you would like to join us and be privy to even more great paper crafting swaps &

    Your call for Carnival and Fair art couldn't have come at a better time as my family and I just went to the New York State Fair. I sent you all a postcard... it's at the top of my blog at www.thevivere.blogspot.com. Please stop by...

    Enjoy the rest of your summer (or winter, as the case may be!) :o)

    Hugs,

    Well, I didn't find enough time to finish this by today. Mine is started but won't be finished for a couple days. Just wanted you to know that I did mean to participate. Can I post mine when I finish it, even if it is after the deadline, just to include it? Everyone's pieces are wonderful. xoxo, Aimeslee
