Yippee! here we go again! Partners tossed and drawn and posted as follows:
Vanessa - Mary
Linda - Dianna
Ruthie Ann - Julie
Marilyn - Darlene
Kelly - Deb
Connect with your partners, mail by the end of December and don't forget to post all the beautiful ATC's when you can ladies! I know how chaotic it is right now with the holidays! It's been so fun swapping ATC's with you all and a HUGE shout-out to Beth jones who began this swap originally but had to stop for a while due to family illnesses! I pray that they are better, healing and regaining their health back! Beth, it's your group anytime you want back! We just couldn't let it die! Hugs and prayers to all of you and a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
Where is the time going??? For those of you wanting to continue participating in our ATC swap, here we are! Already heading into December faster than the speed of 'Santa and his reindeer'!!! The theme for this month of course is anything Christmas! Next month for January will be a winter theme. I know we are all busy with Christmas so even if you are a little late mailing out it's ok. It's just fun to receive them! So lets see what we can come up with! I LOVE your creative spirits!! Thank you for participating!!
any type of medium you want to use (AND SHAPE) as long as the card is standard size of 2 1/2 by 3 1/2 heavy cardstock or prepared cardboard from cereal boxes and such. You may sew, paint, mix media, fiber, etc. for your trade. Be sure to sign the backs and title it and date it! As always, have fun!
Again, if you are new to ATC's here is a brief description:
Artist Trading Cards (ATCs) is a conceptual art project initiated by the Swiss artist M. Vänçi Stirnemann in 1997. He called it a Collaborative Cultural Performance. Artist Trading Cards are 2 1#8260;2 by 3 1#8260;2 inches (64 mm × 89 mm) in size, the same format as modern trading cards (hockey cards or baseball cards). 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.[1]
Sign ups through the 15th, partners posted the 16th and mail outs are December 27th!

Oh Kelly you should have received that almost a week ago! But, I am so happy it finally arrived and you are happy with your little gifts. Thank you and Dianna for the compliments, sometimes I do struggle with how I will decorate them etc.
January is a challenge for me but I do know who/what my inspiration is :-)
Hugs,

You too rest and don't over do things. ATCs can wait, your health is much more important. :)

Bless your heart, yes indeed you start thinking much more carefully when those things happen. I pray your pain goes away soon. Please don't over do things, take time and heal. No sun here and have remained below freezing her awhile, so hope pipes and pets do ok.

Kelly, we have had no internet, no land line, and only one cell phone that was not working properly for the last two days. Add to that an ice storm. It sure makes you think! At least our son and his family are nearby. My pain is better...but not gone. Work a bit and rest, then work more, rest again. That is the way it goes. Today the sun is Peeping through the grey clouds Every Now And Then. Yea!!!

Your beautiful Angel ATC arrived Dianna and I just love it. Picked your package up Christmas
Eve on our way to family. Loved all the tuck-ins.  Sweet owl hand towel and neat ornament
embellishments and more.
Your angel card was so unique. hand painted and flowing gown with musical paper hand torn
and painstakingly attached to create the most gorgeous dress. Loved the red poinsettia at
the top of it. The title you gave it was perfect, "Sweet Angel". Thank you so much for everything!
I shared the chocolate snowmen and peppermint puff balls....so delicious.
