Jill, thank you so much for your amazing ATC and darling little
Christmas drawstring bag. The ATC was a little girl in front of a
Christmas tree on top of pretty fabric and loved the holly embellish
ments. You really spoiled me with the Dove chocolate and I adore
how it was wrapped with the pretty Christmas paper, button and ribbon.
Even the package it was mailed in was decorated so fancy. Thanks
for being my partner and thank you CJ for hosting.

What I make with my
hands, I give with my heart ....

Hi Emily, here is a picture (not a very good one unfortunately) of the ATC. This was taken Christmas of 1944. She was very proud of her new coat, hat and doll. I just love this photo!
Love old photos of all kinds!




Hugs, Tammy

Reminds me of a pic I have of me holding my Mary Ann . . a cloth doll with porcelin head and lots of golden, wavy hair. It's actually in a collage hanging on the wall in my photo gallery. Wearing a matching winter coat and hat which I think were red, but of course the photo is black & white.

Tammy,

That picture is so sweet! I had to laugh when I saw the "naughty or nice?" above such a sweet little girl, not to mention your mother, holding her dolly!! Lol!

Beth,
Your three-dimensional "Wonders of a Toy Shop" ATC arrived
yesterday. Loved the little box it was in and the cute little
ceramic Santa. Darling "Yesteryear" Christmas card you made as
well. Thanks so much. I love all the detail on the ATC, it had
it all, Santa, train, teddy bear candy cane and presents!

What I make with my
hands, I give with my heart ....

Emily,
Received the absolutely adorable Doll House ATC while I was gone over the Thanksgiving holiday. It is just WONDERFUL!!!!
I have made some of the bi-fold style ATCs too and enjoy doing them that way.
I'll take a pic tomorrow and post it.

It is just SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE!!!
THANK YOU!!!

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!

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!!

This is the front of it before you open it and you have to use the key!


And, this is the inside, lacy curtains, potted plant, furniture, fridge, mirror, framed wall art . . . the works! Just ADORABLE!!!


Thank you Emily, I JUST LOVE IT!

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.
