T Stands for Rolodex Cards

 

If your T Tuesday post and your Second on the 2nd post are the same, PLEASE share it both places. We are using Inlinkz for our second look this month and Mr. Linky for today's T Tuesday post.  Second on the 2nd goes live at midnight on the 2nd.

Before we head for my craft room, I wanted to share a photo of my youngest.  Not the face of our blog, but loved just the same.  I put Squiggles on a restrictive diet this summer and he is now slim and trim.  Even his collar fits loose for a change.  When he got sick, I worried he got too slim and I was starving him.  Thankfully he's feeling better, so when he actually allowed me to take a photo of him, I was thrilled.  Now let's head to my craft room.

I use my grungy mug when I work in the craft room or outside.  It has a lid, so there is no chance I will mistake it for dirty paint water and it keeps the elements out of my coffee, too.  Yes, that is coffee in my mug.  I use my red metal straw for everything at home because my neck doesn't go very far backward due to my birth defect which is similar to arthritis.

Today I want to talk about altered Rolodex cards.  I was in or hosted several swaps in which we traded these cards.  I have them sorted by swap name.  The first one is autumn, but I loaded them backward.  My fault, not blogger's.

This was part of a color swap.  I have smudged the names and blogs or e-mail addresses, so the names of the players are not shown.

This and the previous card were "green."

This is either purple or violet.  I didn't check, just took the photos.

Although I smudged the name of the person who made the lower card, I loved the stamp she used.  It reads "This better not go in the trash."

This and the next four are from an Autumn swap.

Why am I showing these, you ask.  First, because my Rolodex holder is small and second, because these were part of the things my shopaholic friend Kathy left for me.  In return, I am willing to send any and everyone who wants them, 10 of these cards for you to play with and alter.  All you have to do is let me know in comments and I will get them off to you in a few days.  If there is enough interest, we will have a swap.  Please don't hesitate to ask.  I am sure once you start altering them, you will have fun with them, too.

The ones Kathy left me have lines on one side (see photo above this one) and this information on the other side.

Their size is about 2 inches X 4 inches (5,08 centimeters X 10,16 centimeters).  Believe me, I have enough for everyone to receive 10 each, whether you participate in T Tuesday, or not.

It's now time to share your own drink inspired post this week.  It can be gifts you received, photos, a place you visited, movies, postcards, mail art, junk mail, catalogs, books, sketches, mixed media, drawings, paintings, handmade cards, tags, scrapbooking, or other art that is digital, hybrid, or traditional, as long as it in some way relates back to a drink, any drink.  Regardless, please share below and Bleubeard and I, along with the rest of the T gang will be by to visit.   Please link only your T post and not your blog in general.  Bleubeard would like to remind you that old photos are acceptable because they may be taken any time, not just on Tuesday and not just this year.  

Today is also Day 1 of AEDM, and I hosted my weekly drink related link up party.   This will be my 13th year creating art each day.  Even though I blog daily, I take pride in November, where I get to renew old friendships and meet new players.
