They have been sorted into their envies, and will be in the post to you all this afternoon! My sincere thanks once again, and don't forget to check my previous post announcing DECEMBER/JANUARY'S Swap Theme!

I'd like to take this opportunity to wish you ALL a safe and Happy Christmas with your families.

DECEMBER/JANUARY SWAP ANNOUNCEMENT

Hi folks,

NB. a bit of a change to the usual timescale for this swap.....I hope you are all ok with it.

Due to the weather conditions, I am just hanging on a couple of days until the final ATCs for the Nov swap arrive....they are sat in a sorting office somewhere waiting to join the rest that are ready and waiting to be posted out to you any day now!

The theme for December's Swap will be......

MYSTICAL/FANTASY

 I have decided to extend this swap to run until the end of JANUARY, as December will simply fly by, and I didn't want anyone to feel they didn't have time to join in if they really wanted to. Sooooo, technically, its December/January's theme!!

Feel free to use anything with a Mystical/Fantasy theme on your ATCs.....here are a few ideas to get you thinking...








......and that's just a few ideas, I'm sure you will have your own take on the theme too :)

So, to re-cap, 4 ATCs (2.5"x3.5") to me by JANUARY 31st with a MYSTICAL/FANTASY theme.

Any questions please just ask, and I really look forward to seeing your creations! Let me know if you are interested, and I'll keep the usual running list.

Last few Days!!!

Just a quick reminder that its the last couple of days before the TRIPTYCH swaps are due to be with me.....I have received a few (sneaky peeks coming up at the end of this post!) but have yet to receive quite a few from those of us who signed up (my own included I have to admit!!) Lol! Soooooo, I will hang on for a couple of days longer, as I know how busy we all are at this time of year, and November has caught many of us out by galloping by at a rate of knots!!! Hope that's ok with everyone?

As promised, here are a few sneaky peeks of the ATCs received so far...........







Looking good I think you'll agree?

NOVEMBER'S Theme announcememnt........

It's that time again folks, new month, new ATC theme. Not sure if any of you feel a bit like me, but I have decided to avoid the obvious 'Christmas' theme, as we can all get a bit bogged down making those Christmas cards at this time of year! Sooooooooo, instead, I've gone for something different, and the theme for November's swap is:
TRIPTYCH

Don't panic, it simply means that this month our ATCs must have 3 PANELS! My thoughts were that this way,we can all choose the theme for our own ATCs, so if there are some of you who can't get enough of Xmas (and I know of at least one!!) then we can indeed make them based on ANY theme, as long as they each have 3 panels.
Here are some examples to get you thinking.....











I really hope you feel inspired to join in this month....if you do, either leave a comment at the end of this post, OR drop me an email using the email address on the blog.

They're in the post!

November 1st already! And that means that the ATCs from last month's 'HARVEST and/or HALLOWEEN' swap have been swapped and are on their way to you as I type! There is a fantastic selection, a mixture of both themes, and I am really pleased to be able to share them with you now.....(for those who would prefer NOT to see them before the postie arrives, look away now!!!)
