First we started things off with some show and tell....I had brought some of my favorite recent DIY treats/purchases. The happy plush cheeseburger is made by Kungfu Cowgirl and my lil crocheted spacecritter mr.zuzu is from SweetiePiePress, the choc chip earrings from StitcherX and the paper beads are from jessprkle. All these fabulous folks are on Etsy, go check em out!

I realllly enjoyed this, the possibilities are endless and I Love the small format. we're going to have a round 2 in for the next craftyclubhouse...make enough so we can get to the actual trading!
back home mr.b gave me some card sleeve options....liking it! will buy a bunch to share. keeping everything in a nice cigarbox....looking forward to having a deck of mini artworks from many different friends/peers/artists to sift through and show.

Don't you think Everyone should have a beautiful lesbian cigar box to keep their ATCs in?;)
