I know my cards are busy, but to be honest I really like them busy. esp since some of them will just stay in a photo album. I'm like a fish I'm attracted to things with lots of color and sparkles (other than Twilight Vampires)

Here is a quick A Christmas Story card I did up yesterday. Not 100% happy with it, but I got till the end of the month to make changes to it if I want to. I will be sending some of these out Oct 1st. to help with getting in the holiday mood.

Shame Darrin McGavin isn't with us to write to for A Christmas Story (or in my case, Kolchak the Nightstalker). Good job, great progression.
Scifi, comic books and a few other areas are my interests in autograph collecting. If you want to talk feel free to pm me.

Darby,

Nice job. Regarding Christmas Story. A few members of the cast are regulars at autograph conventions. You should keep your eye on that. Some conventions (ie-Hollywood collectors show) has an autograph service for those who cannot attend.

Those truly like really nice. I cant figure out which one I like best. I love how clean and professional the Nurse Jackie ones look, but the Glee ones look great too.

Hey guys and gals. I have took a break from autograph collecting since about my birthday (Aug 31) to really work on improving my health and etc (I've lost 78 pounds since then) so my requests have been slim but been getting some back and today decided to start piecing my Simpsons project together. I gave up on doing something nice and neat like Zipbags does, I fooled with matte just couldnt get the hang of it so I broke some rules and put these in glass, but no sunlight so i think I'll be ok and if not i still like looking at them daily.

Still got about 25 requests out and more to come on the Simpsons project and other projects will keep updated here as I get new custom cards and projects completed. Bought me a couple books of stamps the other day. Slowly getting back into it to kill time this cold winter we are having
