Everybody loves ATC's and they are easy to make.
Each person will make 2 holiday-themed ATC cards for their partner. Each person will have only 1 partner.
These are also easy to mail in a regular envelope with one stamp, usually.
When partners are assigned, each will contact their partner.
Sign-up ends: Oct. 31
Partners posted: Nov. 4
Mail-out: Nov. 26
Let the "creative-ness" begin!!
Hugs,
Portia
Since there was an uneven number, I took two. Hope this is okay with everyone.
Partners:
Connie & Linda O.
Darlene & Madeline
Beth & Denise (from NJ)
Laura & Mary Jo
Vanessa & Judith
Portia & Sherry
Portia & Becky
Don't forget to email your partner and get their info.
Thanks, everyone!!!!
Wishing for the country life! |

Vanessa, I received your ATCs in yesterday's mail!! Just love them! How cool that you cut your own decorations! "Dachsing Through The Snow" cracked me up"! Cute puppy! Thank you, also, for the yummy looking teas and hand crafted Christmas card! Funny..I think we used some of the same snowflakes. Let it snow. Merry Christmas!

Have to agree with you Darlene, all wonderfully different :-)
I have yours displayed in my living room in a tablescape. I was going to put them on the tree but they look right at home where they are ;-)
If the sun peeks out & I can get good light I'll take a picture for you so you can see them :-)

Vanessa, I'm happy that you like the ATCs. They were a little scary to make (for the first time) but also fun! The best part was layering the paint and then the snow, mixing epsom salt and glitter. I hope it stays glittery. The charm fabric is Mary Jane's design.

Judith, your ATCs are beautiful! They bring back all the memories of winter up north without me having to shovel! I also love those little swatches of material and I think they'll be a dolls quilt. I am going to be putting up a tree in my office and I can use the tinsel twine to decorate the tree.

I'm so glad you like them, Connie. I am getting hooked on ATCs. LOL!
And I've been making a lot of those Microwave Bowl Potholders. If anyone wants the pattern I can send you the link.

Sherry, I mailed your ATC's on the 14th. I had mailed some other things and someone on a swap had sent me something on the same day. She checked with the PO and because of the weather conditions in Buffalo, mail was behind, so I hope you get yours soon. Sorry for the delay!

My ATCs were sent to Connie on Wednesday. I'm having fun designing them. This is an easy project for me.
I received my ATCs from Connie yesterday. I love them: An old fashioned girl with a cute kitty, Santa holding a hanging wreath, and a snowman "snowglobe" = such a creative use for cards and cardboards and plastic covers we usually toss. I LOVE THEM! And the tucks - old button cards, nativity buttons, mouse sewing tiny ornaments (I think this is a Hallmark set?), and chocolates - but - um - they didn't quite make it for pictures. Shame, shame.
Thank you thank you thank you Connie! Such a wonderful swap partner.
