OCTOBER'S THEME IS.............

For OCTOBER'S Swap, the chosen theme is:

HARVEST and/or HALLOWEEN

That basically means you can choose either or, OR a mixture of both (even on the same ATC if you like!!!)  Here are a few ideas to whet your appetite.....

Everyone should make 4 ATCs based on these themes.

If anyone is interested in joining,  please get in touch, and I'll send you details....everyone is welcome!

I hope to see lots of you able to join in again this month ;)

In The Post!

I can't believe it's the end of the month! Well done to everyone who has taken part, some FAN-TAS-TIC ATCs from you all, and I'm so keen to get them to you (esp Dawn who's off on holiday on Saturday!) that I've managed to get them out in today's post!

Just to put everyone out of their misery, Dawn was spot-on with her Black Beauty guess, so well done Dawn, look out for the little extra in your envie (and you too Ann!) And here they are in their full glory!

5 Days To Go!

Just a quick reminder that there are just 5 days to go until the deadline for your ATCs in September's TV/FILM swap. Here's a sneaky peak at SOME of those that have arrived so far.....

....hope that's whetted your appetite? And that's not all of them either! So, if you fancy swapping, you've just got enough time to get your ATCs made and posted before the deadline.......oh, and don't forget, HAVE FUN!!!

The 1st ATCs have arrived!!

Well done to Ann, your ATCs are the first to arrive for our September swap!! Now I don't want to give the game away, but here's a teeny tiny sneaky peek...........

.......I DID say a teeny tiny sneak peek, and that's all you're getting!!! And just to make things interesting, I will send a little something extra with the swaps to the first person (if any!!) who guesses which TV program or film Ann's ATCs depict! And of course, a little something for Ann too, seeing as her ATCs got here first.

Happy Guessing!!

Blog Award....Thank You Kris!

My sincere thanks go to Kris, over at MadaboutPooh's Blog for this lovely blog award! Kris is a keen ATC swapper like the rest of us, and I was really chuffed that she thought of my blog, especially as it is so new!

Along with this award there are some rules!! So I now need to fulfill these.....here goes:

Three things I love about myself: Maybe a bit of a cheat, but it has to be my 3 beautiful children, Toby, Zoe and Noah....it is a wonder to me each and every day that I could've been part of their creation.

A photo I love: My little Noah aged 1 yr taken at Xmas 2007 at Center Parcs, Sherwood Forest.

And now to pass on the award to 5 other bloggers:

1. Paula at Tales from Pollycraft

2. Pixie Dust Studios

3. Paul at ATC Swappers

4. Petra and Jane at Addicted to ATCs

5. Debbie at The Crafty Pad

Thanks for looking, and don't forget to email me if you are interested in joining up for this month's swap!
