Word on the street is that Kind Over Matter's first blogiversary is coming up -- and it's true! On Feb. 22 Kind Over Matter will celebrate its first birthday!
Amanda & I are super excited because in honor of this we are holding an Artist Trading Card Exchange!
What an Artist Trading Card, you ask? It's a 3.5 by 2.5 inch card that you create using technique you want - paint, photography, scrapbooking, collage, fabric. the size of a trading card.
Here are a few videos with tutorials & a little bit about the craft:
Video i - Video ii - Video iii - Video iv
The rules are simple:
1. Make something.
2. Express yourself.
3. Have fun with it!
Now for some details:
1. E-mail us to receive our mailing address: kindovermatterblog@gmail.com
2. Make an Artist Trading Card (ATC) -- 2.5 x 3.5 inches -- with a positive/inspirational message, be it through words or images! You can use any technique: , just make sure it is flat (no hard/bulky embellishments!) Don't forget to print & sign your name on the back!
3. Use the mailing address you were given & stuff an envelope with ONE Artist Trading Card & a standard self-addressed stamped envelope, include your name, mailing address & email address on a separate piece of paper.
4. The deadline is.... Feb. 1, 2010 so it needs to be postmarked by then.
5. Seal it with love & send it off to us!

You will be receiving an ATC from another artist & a little love from us in return!
We will be featuring ATCs from Etsy every week to inspire you! If you make ATCs on the regular & sell them on etsy you may tag them with kindovermatter so it's easier for us to find them, but make sure they follow our theme & you may be featured in one of our posts!
Btw, you can tag any one of your Etsy items that follow our theme with kindovermatter -- & you may be featured here outside of this exchange, maybe in one of our five kind etsy finds!
If you have any questions please e-mail us or comment here!
We love you all to bits & pieces & we hope that you have as much fun with this as we are.
Peace, peace, peace.

good morning, originally uploaded by oblivion head.
Hello, you who made the morning
and spread it over the fields
and into the faces of the tulips
and the nodding morning glories,
and into the windows of, even, the
miserable and the crotchety –
best preacher that ever was,
dear star, that just happens
to be where you are in the universe
to keep us from ever-darkness,
to ease us with warm touching,
to hold us in the great hands of light –
good morning, good morning, good morning.
Watch, now, how I start the day
in happiness, in kindness.
-- Why I Wake Early, Mary Oliver
