Ohhh, can't wait to see everyone's creations! We have an even number now so I redraw swap partners. They are as follows
Jill Skane & Rebecca
Judith & Darlene
Dianna & Mary
Marilyn & Jill(Sheridan126)
Connie & Niki
Looking forward to this theme! Please get with your partner for addresses and please post your atc when you receive it so we know the postal system is working!! Thank you all for joining in!! Blessings!
Happy New Year farmsisters! What a ca-razy and sad year 2020 has been for most of us!! For me, I lost friends to covid, ( my sister almost died and was sick so long she lost her job and then her home. Shes living with me temporally) was isolated from family and a new grandbaby, homeschooled my granddaughter who couldn't be with her friends, broke my wrist & had emergency surgery and was head of our household a majority of the year while hubs was overseas. We all have had losses and hardships! But out of this year, what did you learn? Were you strengthened spiritually? Perhaps your relationships improved? Maybe you learned something positive from this year?
Our January theme will be a little different. Look inside yourself and reflect how 2020 has made you a better person. What if 2020 was preperation for what's to come? What if 2021 we could actually relax and get back to living some sort of normality? So the theme or ATC idea is this, using one word to describe how you've changed- for the positive-, create a card to reflect this, not only for your partner but one for yourself. Place a sticky tape on the back of the one you are keeping and put it on your bathroom mirror or somewhere where you can look at it often. How's that?
As always you can use any form of creative means just keep it within the measurements.
Sign ups until the 18th of January, partners on the 19th and send off your cards as soon as you can. Thanks for playing along!
Wishing you all a New Year of health, courage. Joy and the peace that passes understanding!

Remember the guidelines:
Artist trading cards (ATCs) are miniature pieces of art that are traded around the world. Artists create, trade and collect art at organized "swap" events, either in person or online. The only official rule for ATCs is the size: 2.5" x 3.5". Artist Trading Cards are the same format as modern trading cards (hockey cards or baseball cards). Alternately you may choose to use a round ATC Coin of 2.5" diameter. They are self-made unique works or small series, signed and dated on the reverse by the artist/producer, exchanged and collected by the people who participate in the collaborative performance.
Artist Trading Cards (ATCs) are a conceptual art project initiated by the Swiss artist M. Vanci Stirnemann. He called it a Collaborative Cultural Performance. In 1997 he created 1200 cards by hand as part of an exhibit. On the last day, he invited others to create their own cards and trade with him during the closing reception. The movement took off, and today, there are ATC swaps in almost every major city around the world!
You can make ATCs with many different media including paper, fabric, felt, metal, wood, clay, paint, stamps, embellishments and more. There are tons of ideas and inspiration available online if you google ATC or Artist Trading Cards.
I am very thankful for each and every one of you creative farmsisters and especially for MaryJane who created this wonderful uplifting forum!

Dianna, this is inspired! And I knew you had a full plate, but didn't have a full appreciation of all your year had in store for you! I'm sorry for your losses and hope the year ahead is full of promise and positivity. Please count me in for this one! I haven't done an ATC in quite a while because I'm frankly not as good at them as some, but I love this idea and cannot resist! I hope I made it before the deadline...
