Good evening farmsister! This is going to be so interesting and fun! P partners are as follows:
Jill and April
Patsy and Rebecca
Judith and Dianna
Alise and Darlene
Contact your partner for mailing information and please remember to post when you receive your swaps ok?? If you've chosen a trigger word or phrase let us know how it inspired you to choose!
Thank you for all the congrats on my sweet grand daughters arrival as well as joining us for this swap! Blessings!
Happy Amazing New Year everyone!!!
I hope and pray you had a wonderful Christmas and a wonderful New Year!
I've been so blessed to have spent the last 2 weeks in Washington state visiting and bonding with my new granddaughter Sophia! I'm totally smitten!!! Now, to figure out how to move closer!!
I know this swap is posted later than usual but I thought I may try.
This new year has begun with multiple heartaches and troubles. At first I thought we'd create an atc using a trigger word or phrase to guide us through the year, helping us focus, grow, nurture, create, etc.
Or, you can choose to create any kind of ATC for a winter's theme.
Sign ups until January 24th, partners assigned January 25th and mail off 26th.
Artist trading cards (ATCs) are miniature pieces of art that are traded around the world. Artists create, trade and collect art at organized "swap" events, either in person or online. The only official rule for ATCs is the size: 2.5" x 3.5". Artist Trading Cards are the same format as modern trading cards (hockey cards or baseball cards). Alternately you may choose to use a round ATC Coin of 2.5" diameter. 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.
Artist Trading Cards (ATCs) are a conceptual art project initiated by the Swiss artist M. Vanci Stirnemann. He called it a Collaborative Cultural Performance. In 1997 he created 1200 cards by hand as part of an exhibit. On the last day, he invited others to create their own cards and trade with him during the closing reception. The movement took off, and today, there are ATC swaps in almost every major city around the world!
You can make ATCs with many different media including paper, fabric, felt, metal, wood, clay, paint, stamps, embellishments and more. There are tons of ideas and inspiration available online if you google ATC or Artist Trading Cards.
Thank you for joining, use your imagination and remember to keep Australia in your hearts!

April, you are amazing! I LOVE what you did, this ATC is a treasure and in such a pretty package!! You've inspired me and raised the bar for February! :) And your words about loving oneself are inspired, thank you for such a thoughtful and heartfelt message!
I collected all from the mailbox last night, but it likely arrived Friday or over the weekend...I'm not very disciplined about the mail sometimes, sorry for the delay! Thank you again for this beautiful package!

Loving these wonderful words to help carry us through the year! I dont do resolutions because I can never keep them, then I feel defeated but when I read words that encourage and uplift my desire is fueled and I tend to be more receptive and succesful! Thank you all for joining this month!

Darlene, I received your wonderfully snowy ATC- there’s something about blue, blue skies and falling snow that I will never get tired of- thank you! Thank you for all of the extras, too. Love the penguin wallet- that looks kind of tricky to make. And the magical crystals that make “snow”- never seen anything like that before, but of course we just have a lot of regular snow here in the northland to play with. I should bring it out in the summer and tease friends with it- “You’re too hot? Not me, I got this nice snow to stick my hands in and cool off with.” :)
Blessings to you on your life's journey.

Dianna I understand being too far from your grand baby. Mine are in Washington. I wasn’t able to see them this year! I miss them,
Hugs and thanks again until the next ATC.

Thank you April! I really miss them, I usually go up at Christmas to see them, but was in the Hospital at Christmas, Their birthday is on December 30, so I usually get to be there for both days. I really missed them this year. They want me to move there too. I will but can’t just yet.
Well have a good day and will be looking forward to seeing all your beautiful ACT’s..

Oh please sign me up for this.
Thanks for hosting, this will be fun!
We have something in common in Washington! I have a granddaughter Sophia too! The difference is she has a twin sister named Sonia.
I just that was fun. They live in Battleground, what part of Washington does your Sonia. My granddaughters just turned 8.
Sophia is the one standing in the back of her sister Sonia.
Thanks again!
