Why? No special reason. I entered my first post back in Jan of 2007 thanks to my dear daughter in law Mica, and since then have posted 925 posts and I have 114 followers and numerous followers on my Patricia Creations Blog which is my gallery of art.
I look back on the art I did when I first started and I am amazed at what I have learned. Mixed media was what I started with and then became interested in digital art. I still do both. I love both but digital is my favorite now.
I started with ATC's and then created bigger pieces and then turned some of them into note cards. I have created on Masonite and moved to canvas. Last year in December I decided to altered altoid tins and cigar boxes by adding my art to them. I opened a shop on Etsy and since then have been doing pretty good.
So I guess in celebration of all I have learned since Jan of 2007, I am giving away one of my first mixed media collages (A Victorian Bride) done on Masonite and a matching set of 4 note cards and envelopes.
A hard back "Altered Art for the first time" book .
I got lots of ideas from this book.

So pretty Patti! You certainly have learned alot! I'm thankful to have met you. I also wanted to thank you for your swap. It's gorgeous. I plan to post it as soon as I get things in order. My computer died and now I'm trying to figure out a new set up. I'm also having problems with blogger and had to convert to the new format. Lots of learning going on, sigh. Have a wonderful day!!
