St. Paddy's Day ATC Gathering

Over the years, a gang of us have gotten together on a fairly casual basis to make artist trading cards. The meetings centre around making ATCs based on a holiday theme. We started with Valentine's Day five or six years ago and from there we've met to make ATCs on Canada Day, Hallowe'en, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Ground Hog Day and Easter/Spring. Yesterday we did St. Patrick's Day. There were eight of us and we spent 2 hours making cards, then we traded, ate treats and had a cup of tea. A wonderful afternoon.I did a series of leprechaun cards, although one gal commented that they looked more like comedians who'd perform at a Catskill resort.

  6. Good one, Addison.

    Getting on a plane, I told the ticket lady, "Send one of my bags to New York, send one to Los Angeles, and send one to Miami." She said, "We can't do that!" I told her, "You did it last week!"

    Ba BA ba ba!!

  8. Jesus, Mary and Joseph, ya eejits.
    Do you not realize that Ronna is depicting a sacred frickin fable about St. Patrick leading the snakes (Protestants, the Orangemen) out of the Erin Isle. Those are peddada heads (potatoes for you friggin snobs)which remind us of the famine and the inability of the Irish to convert to beets or turnips! Also they remind of us of the wonderful bagels me and the lads would scarf down in Cote St-Luc after a night of drinkin and brawlin.
