UPDATE: Swap and Give Away

Thanks everyone for you lovely comments! Congratulations to Danielle over at Blessed Serendipity. The Fabric Frogster as Jo so eloquently named him will be hopping over to you shortly LOL.  

 What was I thinking! Kimberly over at ArtJoyStuff is hosting an ATC swap called the Fabric of Nature. Her rules were to pick any kind of nature theme you wanted, try and make it vintage looking AND it had to all be done in fabric (no paper). Any embellishments allowed.
Well with Spring FINALLY here at Maple Hill the peeper frogs have been going strong in the ponds around my woodlot. It is a sound I really enjoy - and a true sign of Spring. So I popped over to Graphic Fairy and found a perfect graphic to print on fabric.
Here is my ATC - the background is an old curtain I thrifted. I embellished with lace, jute ribbon, buttons and beading. Did a little inking on the fabric too....thing is...
It's a 12 for 12 swap! LOL. That's a lot of little frogs. AND I actually made a baker's dozen so having a Give Away if you are interested.

 Just leave a comment and I will pull a name on May 1st (OMG that is here already!!!) for Frog 13. Enjoy. Jewels

    Oh wow, just look at all those little froggy ATCs - they're FAB! What a noisy chorus they'd make.

    Please put my name in the hat for the chance to win the remaining one, which I'll re-name 'The Fabric Frogster' (try saying that after a couple of glasses of wine!!). Frog 13 sounds rather futuristic and genetically modified!

    This is totally frogtastic Jewels!! What a grand job you've done, making so many little croakers!
    #I saw a little frog, He was cuter than can be, He was sitting on a log, And I'm sure he croaked at me!#
    What did the frog order at the fast food restaurant?
    French flies and a diet croak!
    LOL - Frogs Rule!
    Enjoy the rest of your weekend Jewels and thanks for the chance to win one of these beauties :0) Mo x

    I hope that the bizarre did just as good as usual this year, and how wonderful were all of the quilts. What talent. I hope a Spring Frog hops into my yard. I love it when the baker cant count. lol
