It's been a while....

Glad to be back in the swapping/ pen pal world. I took time off during my move back home to California from South Carolina. So much has changed in my life, it's like I deleted my old sad, depressed, married life and woke up to a new beautiful life! I love it! I'm engaged to a great man, 27 weeks pregnant, first time mom and it's truly a blessing. I never thought I'd have my own little human and here I am, baking one!

To all my pen pals and swap buddies, let me know if you'd like to pick up where we left off. I stayed in contact with a small handful of you which was great.
What better time to get back into it than now, it's InCoWriMo!! (Check out the site)

Who's participating? I've been pretty good at making sure to write everyday and so far so good. I know our lives get in the way sometimes but a quick note to someone, just saying hey can really brighten ones day :)
If anyone is interested in getting a little letter from me email me with your address: redlucha@gmail.com.

In other news, I will be giving up my art and swap name, Red Maga. Since I used it as a married woman, I feel it's necessary to shed my old self. My last name was Magallanes and my nickname was Red so that's where I got the Red Maga from. So from now on I'll be going by Red Lucha. I'm also changing the swap email I've used for 10 years :( no more tatchick21@yahoo.com. Kinda feels good to start fresh! Shedding any sign of my old life feels amazing and I'm happy to start anew. If you see my sig in any swap items please update for me :)
Hope you all have an amazing day!!

A beautiful day for a post office trip

Im excited to say I started a Facebook group called of course...viva la snail mail. Be sure to join my friends.
Ive already met a few new ladies and sent out packages to them today and some to my reg swappers.

I notice a lot of people only sent stuff to receive stuff and I don't like that. Ill send to anyone as long as they will get it moving ya know.

Well today I'm in a FB making mood and im hoping to get through a lot of labels i have. I want to try out my new stamps and paper I scored at wal-mart. Don't you just love their 97c section? I also found some really cute stickers and note cards at the Dollar tree. Being on a tight budget makes you a bit more creative in the fb, deco making process ;)

Oh yeah! I signed about 20 decos this weekend and already got them moving. Here's a few pics of what I did...I still cant figure out how to move these dang photos around lol.
Well ill see you all soon! Keep making art!
