I participated in four organized swaps at #InspireCreateShare2014 convention this year. I also attended a pre-convention Unwind Retreat hosted by Splitcoast Stampers Community Manager, Lydia Fiedler. The Unwind Retreat was followed by a happy hour where SCS members could meet up with each other. I met a lovely woman named Patti McDermott. I recognized her name from, oh, somewhere, but I couldn’t place it.
I showed up at my first swap–the Very Vintage swap–and there was Patti! I said, “Oh now, I know why I recognize your name!” I showed up at my second swap–Lyssa’s Convention Quality swap–and there was Patti! We both laughed. I showed up at my third swap–Over the Top Tags–and, you guessed it–there was Patti! Kind of funny that we’d signed up for all the best swaps together.
When I got home and really had a chance to take a look at my swaps, I chose my favorite swap from each group to share with you here on my blog. I chose this card, and when I flipped it over to see the artist–there was Patti!!! Too funny! Here’s Patty’s amazing card.
