ATC Craziness

I cranked these puppies out the other day and decided that I like them so much, I'm gonna keep the top 4 to myself. Well, for now anyways :)

Swaptree

Woo swaptree! Seriously LOVE this site. If you've been following my blog for awhile you will know that I'm an avid reader. Ok, maybe that's an understatement. Anywho, I had a bunch of books sitting around that I didn't really plan on reading again so I decided to find a site to swap them on. Introducing, swaptree. And it's not just books. You can swap for movies, music and video games as well. Here's how it works:

You list the books, CDs, DVDs, and video games that you want to trade and the books, CDs, DVDs, and video games that you want to receive and swaptree does the rest.

Swaptree will show you all of the items that you can receive for your items. Clicking on a "Get Now" link next to an item will show more information about both the item and the trader you will be receiving from.

Once the other traders accept, the trade is complete and you will then be provided the shipping addresses where you need to ship your item.

And yes, I totally stole that from their website. So far I've traded some books and a few old DVDs. What did I get in return you ask?

DVDs

The Ghost & The Darkness (I don't know why I like this movie so much. I guess I like saying Tsavo - where the movie takes place - or maybe it's the lions. Oh my!)

Little Fish - Can't wait to watch this. It's got Cate Blanchett in it so it's bound to be good.

Signs - I'm collecting all of M. Night Shyamalan's movies. Too bad Mel has gotten all crazy.

Notes on a Scandal - My all time favorite movie. And the one I have is scratched. Boo.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone - Somehow I never purchased the first two movies and it's been ages since I've seen them. Can't wait for this to show up in my mailbox!

Books

Marked by P C Cast & Kristen Cast - Guess who is starting the House of Night series?

Quidditch Through the Ages - Stocking up on all things HP

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them - See above

Wow this has been pretty long winded. My point, is you've got books/movies/music/video games to swap, head over to swaptree!

Starfish Treasury

AngelasAlchemy was kinda enough to include my Life's a Beach fridge flair trio in her Starfish treasury on Etsy. Thanks a bunch Angela! I love all of the colors. Reminds me of summer :)

Be sure to swing by and check out all of the other great featured artists!

Coming Soon!

Something pretty big and awesome is coming this way soon. I don't want to give away too many details, but it involves these:

... these...

... and some of these.

Stay tuned!

Well?

What's In Your Bag? Part Two

I gotta say, not much has changed since April when I did my first 'What's In Your Bag' post. Except maybe some Wheat Thins and Tat Wax.

And I actually remembered to take a photo of my purse this time!

It was hand made by the wonderful Angie over at Stitch and Swash. You might recognize it as the bag Bella uses in the Twilight Saga movies. It's the one and only.

So we have:

* Mark pressed powder

* Dental floss x 2

* Tat Wax

* Cosmetic bag

* Eye glass case

* Massachusetts Lottery key chain

* Checkbook cover

*Wallet

* Hair ties

* Keys

* Letter from Ria (Woo!)

* Gluestick

* USB stick

*Sunglasses

* USB cord for my camera

* Bag of essential oils (see below)

* Motorola Droid

* Motrin

* Various pens and markers

* Mark tinted lip gloss

* Post-It Notes

* Wheat Thins

Most of the time I carry my oils around with me as well. You never know when someone wants an impromptu massage. All of these are from Young Living and they are the best essential oils out there on the market. (Left to right): Aroma Siez, Thyme, Oregano, Peppermint, Wintergreen, Thieves, Peace & Calming, Abundance, Basil, Cypress, Valor, Marjoram and Tangerine. They all smell oh so good.

So, what's in your bag?
