ATC's are 2 1/2 inch x 3 1/2 inch decorated and creatively so, little cards that are collected and enjoyed...A normal size playing card is usually this size so a playing card makes a great backing for the card. I use cereal boxes that I have measured and cut to make the back sturdy and then I glue scrapbooking paper, newspaper print, just about anything to the front and start decorating, Themes are generally given, as ours will be Halloween,
Send them to me, along with 6 stamps and at the end of the swap, they will be mailed back to you, It is fun and addictive....BEWARE......Sending them to one address really helps with the cost of postage.
Sign up ends September 10th Send to me by September 30th

Cynthis, Your so right! I love to share all my Mary jane farm sister stuff with family friends, neighbors and Co-workes! your very Welcome Maggie, I couldn't sleep last night, as is the case a lot for me, so I just turned on a small light in the dinning room and just looked at the Harvest and Halloween ATC's. I see something different every time I pick each one up ,and just think about the time and care that my Farm sisters put into these Tiny little works of art! Beth gave me Fair warning, that they were addictive!!

Sorry to post so late, but came home Monday to find mine in the mail, but didn't get to open them until last night because I've been so busy! This was my first ATC swap and I just LOVE what everyone did So much creativity amongst all these farm girls that it blows my mind! I'm totally addicted and so glad I signed up for the Christmas apron one
Thank you everyone for all the work you put into your individual creations and a BIG THANK YOU Beth for all the work you put into making these swaps work!!! Loved the little bag they came in
Like Connie, I think I'll take them to work and put them around my office or maybe even out in my library to show them off Why keep all this wonderful art work to myself when I can share it with all my patrons??

Love the Halloween ATC's. All that creativity is so amazing
to me. I have mine displayed around 2 carved pumkins sitting
on my table. They look so cute!
I have to share this funny story with all of you, especially
Beth.
Rachelle, my 7 year old grandaughter spotted the little cute
orange Halloween Bag. She asked where it came from. As I was
telling her, I decided to show her the other bags that Beth
has packaged our ATC's in. Next thing I know, she is off in the
other room with a little neighbor girl. All of a sudden I hear
my grandaughter say. This beautiful bag is our today's value item
and it can be purchased for $49.95. You can get this bag home to day
for just $12.00. Also you can purchase this bag on flex pay of $10.00
per month for 5 months.
All of a sudden it dawns on me...She is playing Home Shopping. She
watches the shopping channels with her Mother. (My daughter.)
It certainly was a Kodak moment. Those little girls played "home
shopping" for over 2 hours. LOL:)
After they finished, she informed me they had sold all of the pretty
bags, and that my friend Beth needed to make more. LOL:) We never
know how we will touch the heart of a child. God bless you Beth.
Because of you, I shared a beautiful moment with my grandaughter.
Happy Halloween to all!

I got mine today, along with the Halloween ATCs. I was having a terrible day - bad reaction to my meds, the med headache triggered a migraine, and AT&T was here for nearly 4 hours before they could fix my internet/phone issues. Was sort of embarrassing that I was having trouble standing while they were working in my apt! Then I got sick and decided sitting on the floor in the hallway isn't so embarrassing....whatever. My babbling point is that I am feeling better but I also have the most AMAZING ATCs here to oooh and ahhh over! And the two guys from AT&T (yes, 2!) even noticed the pretties and commented. They never heard of ATCs and were dully impressed with my amazing friends!! They say dot tell you all you did a great job :)
