Stickers - sort of, they are real postage stamps...

These are real postage stamps made from images of my paintings. I used them to mail our Christmas cards last year.

I love Fiesta dishes!

This is called MediumGreen Tea after MediumGreen, a Fiesta collectors' message board.

This was my attempt to paint a self-portrait.

We have some Fiesta-ware we bring out for holidays. It's certainly fun dishes. :); June 19, 2007 9:37 PM

your best friend kj loves her stamps and plans to use them sparingly so they will last for 30 years.

How It Works

Weekly Challenge - Every Monday a new challenge will be posted. That challenge ends two weeks after it begins. In other words, you have two weeks to complete each challenge - a new challenge each week and each challenge lasts 2 weeks so there are always 2 overlapping challenges. A "winner" will be chosen for the challenge of two weeks previous and posted. The winner and the new challenge will be posted by the host each Monday (hopefully).

If you win the weekly contest then you cannot win again for 4 weeks... that way everyone else has a chance.
