Hi there papercrafters and ATC artists, 
It's coming up on Christmas and I think of toys and dolls, including bears and such that I received as a child for Christmas. Therefore, the theme "TOYS and DOLLS from YESTERYEAR "
This is a ONE-FOR-ONE Swap. Meaning all you make is ONE theme related ATC for your partner. Just ONE ATC!
Nothing else . . simple!
You may have as many partners as you like if you want to make more than one ATC.
Just be sure to indicate that when you sign up.
HOW ABOUT IT GIRLS! SIGN UP HERE!
- SIGNUPS CLOSE on NOVEMBER 5th
- MAILOUT DEADLINE: NOVEMBER 30th
You would just make your ATC on sturdy backing, using any medium and embellish it any way you wish, include your info on the back as is traditional for an ATC.
Just use the "TOYS and DOLLS from YESTERYEAR" theme[/b]
Let's have some fun from "yesteryear".

Linda,
I am so sorry I did not take any pictures. Once I was able to get all of the embellishments to hold, I was anxious to get it right out to you. I am so glad you like them. I love that little spinning wheel. I cannot recall if I shared with you, when I was a little girl, I had a spinning exactly like the one on your ATC.
Also when I pretty young, I received my first rolling pin, and cookie cutters.One of the cookie cutters was that of a gingerbread man.
I thought I was a world class baker. LOL!
They both brought back some beautiful and wonderful memories of my Grandmother.
I wish I had taken pictures. Next time maybe. You are a wonderful swap partner. I hope we to can swap again someday.
Bless you friend.

Debbie, the ATC's arrived today and I love them! How clever to have
some actual twine on that little spinning wheel and the little girl
rolling out cookies is the most adorable ever. Love how you put
"MJF" on her apron and the little cookie jar embellishment and
gingerbread men cookie embellishments, the clear glitter sparkles
on the dough and makes it look like sugar cookies. If you took a
picture of them would you please post it so others can see how special
they turned out? Thanks. I sure got "happy mail" today! Thanks
so much.

Wow! Thanks for the compliments Connie, Tammy, Linda, and CJ. You are too, too kind! I'm loving all of the ATCs! These little cards are so amazing! Who would have thought there could be so much creativity on these tiny cards! Too much fun I tell ya!
CJ, glad I could be the first person to give you a doll house. Too bad she's too tiny to play with ;)
Debbie, glad you said something about the Beacon 3 in 1 glue. I use A LOT of super glue on my crafts. I should really buy stock in the stuff! It's good to know there is something else that works as well so thanks for that bit of information!

When I recall my childhood, I don't recall ever actually having a real doll HOUSE! I had dolls, teddy bears, and such . . played with paperdolls a lot. But I don't recall a HOUSE.
This little treasure may be my first . . and only . . dollhouse! :)

Debbie,
So glad you liked the ATC I sent you. Also glad to know of that
Beacon 3 in 1 glue, I'll have to get some. I like Crafter's Pick
glue as well. I'll let you know when your ATC arrives here.
Loved the 3D dollhouse ATC Emily made for you Cee Jay. How
adorable to open the door and then see the inside and all the details.

Wow CJ, everyone has received beautiful ATC's, but yours is beyond...just beyond creative! Like Connie said...I wouldn't have expected anything less from Emily. She is lovely and so very very talented.

Okay, Farmgirl ATC-ers, eat your hearts out . . . I got a DOLL HOUSE!!!
This is the bi-fold ATC that Emily made for me . . I think it is just ADORABLE!!

Linda,
Finally got the trim to stick to your ATC I made for you. It is on its
way. Sorry it took me so long. I finally found some glue called
3-in-1 Beacons advanced craft glue. I have to say, I believe this glue
could hold bricks on a house. Found it at Hobby Lobby. Good stuff.
I love the ATC you sent me. The little girl holding the dolls make me
think of myself when I was little. (Many Many moons ago and then some.) My hair was really curly like hers. And like her I loved my dollies.. I love the colors. She will be on display in my craft room.
I hope this picture turns out.
Thank you, I will treasure her forever and will enjoy adding her to my collection.
Hugs!
