For this , only one person will send to me ---my swap partner.
Everyone that signs up will need to pm me with 3 chosen themes but also put your name down on this thread.
I will assign you with a secret partner and let you know their themes.
Everyone will make their partner 3 ATC's.
The first surprise is that the three may be:
A) a set of 3 in ONE of the chosen themes OR
B) One in Each of the chosen themes.
NEXT.:As a little Christmas surprise, include in your envelope a tiny gift. I DON'T want you to buy this. The gift is to consist of a little goodie bag containing bits enough to make several ATC's. You may include blanks with a background if you wish but I leave it up to you and your imaginations!
OK! Who's with me? :wub:

Karen Keenan

20-11-2005, 11:08 AM

I know the person we are sending to doesn't know who we are yet........that is a surprise, I was just wondering if they were meant to be sent anonymously too?

Yabbadabbadoo

20-11-2005, 11:16 AM

Oh I thought it was a swap with the person we are making them for!! Shows who wasn't paying attention!! Glad you said though Karen. I haven't written on the back of the one I made at your house yet.

Hi Caz... I have mine... there is a pic posted earlier in the thread...they were lovely.

Who-hoo................ my ATCs and goodie bag arrived from Elaine today. :D

The blue one is stamped flowers and encaustic waxes in blue and silver. The middle one must have taken ages with all the tiny christmas stamps in different colours, and glittered bits. Is the kitty one a stamp on the lovely green background?

I love them all, and the lovely things you sent with them - microscope slides, dominoes, blossoms, fancy eyelets, star brads, narrowest ricrak I've ever seen, and some Chinese coins. Thank you so much Elaine, I'm looking forward to creating something with these lovely goodies.

I am so sorry for the delay Karen but I am pleased you like them, I posted them before christmas but I am relieved they got there safe and sound. The kitty one is a paper artsy stamp on basic grey paper and lots of TH walnut ink :) Glad you liked your little goody bag too and look forward to seeing your cards that you create with them.
