As we remember, ATC's are 2 1/2 inches wide and 3 1/2 inches long. That is the tradition card shape for the ATC. We will make our ATC round with a diameter of 4 inches. No larger, but could be a little smaller. Cups are good templates to cut out circle for the background paper which should be stiffer like a cereal box. This gives a good background. Now, just decorate the front to your heart's content. Pretty papers, doilies, tiny charms or old vintage jewelry, make it just as pretty as you would like to receive.
Just one per partner!! Also make it so it can hang...Just pretty, pretty, pretty!!

Received the loveliest ATC from Portia! I may have mentioned once (or a million) times how much I love buttons, and they were parading across the ATC in a colorful little line! Thanks so much Portia, the darling 3D banner and little honey bee made me smile. I can tell you put lots of love and time into making it, and it is the centerpiece of my Valentine's decorations!
Happy Day!
Peace in our hearts, peace in the world

Amy, thank you so very much for the beautiful ATC card and the gorgeous and elegant red notebook and pen. Also, I will gets lots of use from the Valentine cupcake liners as I am making a ton of cupcakes for church this Sunday! You said you were at the bottom of your family crafting pole: I don't think so!!!!! The ATC is wonderful; I can't believe it is your first one. No, I do not have any formal art training but have always been crafty! Thank you for the compliments.
Hugs,

Hi Brenda! Thanks for the nice compliments! I'm so glad you liked the ATC! I didn't make the doily (I wish I could crochet like that, but I only know 2 stitches, ha ha!). I really enjoyed making the ATC - This was a fun swap!
Hugs, Maggie |

Yes, the washer is fixed. The math...She left here saying she would ask someone else. I suggested her sister, but she said her mom. Oh my! I told her that even though I did not have seventh grade math(our teacher quit and they did not hire a new one), I have learned to work these problems. After all I have been teaching kids for almost fifty years. Having grandkids later in my life means they do not know about my younger self. The sad thing is they do not remember much from those first five years of their lives, when we were together all the time.My son says he does not remember being little either. I do remember things, even as young as two. I wish they could too.

Well I am glad that the timing was good for it to get there and that you enjoyed it so much. God has a way of working through dark spots in our lives even if it something that is only a little thing.
Did you get your washer fixed and the math correction done?
Take care.

Darlene, your package arrived today, amid all of the chaos.I went to the grocery store early, that was a mess to deal with when I got home. It is still not all put away, because I thought I would organize. Hadlee needed help with her business math, and that becomes a war when we hit a fraction page. I can figure it out but not her way. I tried to teach her about reasonableness. We hit some today that were very challenging. She called her bapa in and texted her dad. They both got the same answer, the same way. Mine was the different one... but the correct one. She did not want to believe me. Then my husband decided to look at my washer which was giving error codes. After watching a you tube video and reading a blog HE felt confident he could fix it. Only problem...it was full of water!!! MASSIVE FLOOD! So I will say that your package was the bright spot in my day. That candy was Devine. The round ACT is so sweetly feminine, and it will be displayed with my Valentine cards. The sweet kitten magnet is on my refrigerator. The coaster will be nice for my coffee or tea beside my recliner in the living room. Thank you so much.
