mothers with children trading thread

[nejxr25]

no you can not trade your children on this thread , i know somedays we may feel like this :lol:

this thread is for mums of children who would like to trade there ATC'S .It will work on the same principles as the adult trade thread .
put a picture up of your childs ATC's and then PM the person to trade .Any problems /questions either ask here or PM me.The mother /father is responsable for getting the ATC in the post to the recipient.

here are Olivia's to trade

strawberry shortcake on scooter - GONE
strawberry shortcake ballet dancer - GONE

Here are the three remaining ones from Louisa's first batch. A bit abstract but she's an abstract child. :rolleyes:
All gone now.

Georgina has put hers somewhere 'safe' I'll find them tomororw and scan them for her to rade. She'll love getting post

hi my kids bethanymischief and connormischief would love to swap , their pictures are on the main gallery in atcs, they are only 4 and 6 so not perfect but they would like to swap. At moment i use their love of doing atc to show them new techniques, we have just made backgrounds by mixing drops of colouring into shaving foam and swirling around before pressing onto card. they had great fun even if connor did get carried away and ended up with brown background!

[Flo]

I might see if Connor would like to play (once Harry & his Bucketful of Dinosaurs is finished.... :))

he has just made a birthday card for his Dad - he has raided my stamp drawer and used virtually every stamp and inkpad I own LOL - not sure whether the end result is a horrible mess or a wonderful artistic collage!

not convinced he'd understand the concept of trading though....he's only 3 and a half....

[wendylorraine]

well my daughter cbrat5z(charlie) would love to trade cards but she is new to it and wants to post to anywhere, she says a big thankyou

[nejxr25]

deedee olivia's card arrived for her this morning , she was soooooooo pleased with it .She told me in detail how she thins it was made and loves the wiggly worm attached to it . i posted louisa's today for her.

[toothfairytrace]

what a great idea girls!!

My DD is only 3 but will certainly be a UKS teenie-member soon!

[beckymischief]

sorry to sound thick but how do you add thumbnail photos please? my kids have got their in the main gallery but thats as far as my pc know how got me!!

[deedee]

Becky - if you reply to the thread using the 'go advanced' option and scroll down, there is a bit that says 'manage attachments' (I think it says that). Follow the instructions from there.

[wendylorraine]

hello i have sent the card to olivia and now my other one is asking can he start doing atc's god nothing in the craft world is child free is it a good or bad thing

[nejxr25]

im sure it's a good thing ,just get them a little box (olivia's has now turned into a very large 2 boxes:lol: )of there own stuff that way they should (not to say they will)leave your stash alone.
I joined up for a yer Olivia to get the lil picasso box from usa it use to come every month but now it's every other month and they are great loads of stuff and some great projects in every box for her to make .
wendy has olivia's card to charlie arrived yet ?

Olivia has been busy during her summer holiday and has made some ATC summer ones to swap any mums out there with little ones who would like to swap with her

My granddaughter has been making atcs and I didn't realise this thread was here! She wants to trade :D I will sort them out and put some pics on here tomorrow! :)

Hi,
my eleven year old son has begun to make ATCs. He recently did a swap to South Africa and one in the states. This has made him want an album of cards like his mums (I now have over 300).However, try as I might I can't download photos onto the computer other than into my flicker album.
When he, Ieuan, has made some cards i will try again, unless anyone is prepared to do a blind swap with him.

Diane - my granddaughter is 7 and I have quite a few of her atcs here. I am sure she will be happy to blind swap with your son. Pm me if you think he would be interested! :)

[nejxr25]

Olivia will do a blind swap also , just pm me your addy

great to see the little ones getting involved and having fun

[gazania]

Have posted an atc from Georgia to Olivia this morning Jean! :)

[gazania]

[nejxr25]

[dreynoldsuk]

Hi Lesley,
Georgia's super ATCs arrived this morning. Ieuan has made some in return and they went in the post tonight. Sorry only had a second class stamp, so will take a couple of days.
he was so excited and pleased with them.
Many thanks for swapping.

[gazania]

Hi Diane!

Glad they got there OK and I am glad Ieuan liked them. Georgia is coming today for her tea and she will no doubt make some more! There is no stopping her now :lol: She will look forward to getting Ieuans, and maybe they can swap another time too! :D

[dreynoldsuk]

Hi Jean,
Olivia's card arrived safely in Stourbridge. Ieuan really loved it. He will be sending his card this weekend. Sorry it's late but we have been away since Tuesday, went to look at Hadrian's wall and lots of churches that had Pre-raphaelite stain glassed windows.
thanks again for swapping.

[janeycutting]

Jean, Charlotte got her ATC's from Olivia today, and they have been attached to her ever since :) she loves them, so please say thank you to your dd. I think she could be up for a few more swaps if Olivia is :lol:

[bertbaby]

Jane - DS made some back in April and he would like to swap them!!! He doesn't want to do anymore at the mo (is into sticking and drawing in his 'scrapbook' - minibook I bought him!!) but loves the idea of swapping the ones he has made. So the ones he has made are of an underwater theme - lots of paint and fish stickers!!! Do you want pics??? I reckon once he has swapped once he get more of an idea of what mummy is going on about!!!

[janeycutting]

I'm sure my dd would love to swap, how many will he swap and we can sort out this end :)

Off to pm you the details for my dd :)

[bertbaby]

Have PMed you Jane!!!

[nejxr25]

[bertbaby]

Hey, Jean no worries -I just thought with the postal strike and all that it might have been sitting in a sack somewhere!!! :blink:

[bertbaby]

Jean just to say thanks so much for Leons ATC which arrived today. He was over the moon and says he loves having scrapbooking friends!! He even asked if we can make some more ATCs - so when we do I'll be back!!
