ALPHA-2c...ATC swap

Well done all on the Scotland ones, thought that was a difficult one. Lovely Nessie there Nona!

Some great ones here.
Love all the ideas, not only for Scotland but for Christmas as well.
Well done everybody.

Lovely - I loved Nessie, but I think i loved karelyns darling envelope with the cat card and the chocolate best out of the Cs.

All these are super and just getting better.

ahem...pardon a mere goat for breathing.... but are birthday cakes safe burning their candles upside down>>>>>>>

Got my pinky this morning and have Helen, Cynthia and Stephs. Great selection.

i got marias ,joys and barbs,,,,,,,, thank you all

I have got the Australian, only it's not of course, cakes and cocktails, properly titled 'You can have your cake' by Barbara H, all the family love it, Rachael Fletton's courting couple, which is another that's even better IRL, lovely metal bead on the wire heart, and cleverly done stamping, and Correspondence by a certain Sue Davies, which had the kids thinking, although I knew, the letters are ever so slightly raised, and I can't work out how, but it's exactly the right height for an ATC, poss another smaller piece of card underneath, V clever anyway.
I'm well chuffed.

Thanks Maria, there is also some very discreet stamping of corsets on the background too, but it's so discreet I'm having trouble spotting on mine, and I put it there LOL.

Corsets????? I thoguth you said things girls like????

dunno anyone who would voluntarily wear one of those!

Mine have arrived I got Helen's colours - very nice triple embossing, Dawn's circles - perfect stamping on shiny card and Nona's cuppa with removable teabag. Thanks everyone I'm really pleased with them.
Thrifty I used foam pads under the letters but the cheap stuff on a roll you get from the pound shop, its not very deep foam.

Am pleased to report Maria's crowns, Barbara's cake and
Nona's special Cuppa TBag - what an apt ATC for you |Nona and it's brilliant.
My favourite this month.

Di would,
but I did put chocolate and cards in the girls like bit, then; some like cats and corsets, cos I know some are allergic to cats.

Received from - Rachael, Nona and Di masters.
Loved the teabag one

Cynthia

Got mine today too, I got Karelyn's c (like the corset detail) Maria's crowns and Steph's cricketeer. Thank you, they are all a lovely addition to my ATC alphabet

aww I got my pinky today too - dh picked the post up and hid it under the rest of the stuff - he knows I love it.

I got the austalian cake (really super IRL, I think its my favourite - please thank Barabara, Nona - I think her ATcs are getting nicer and nicer), Helens colours which is also nicer IRL and Dawns circles.

thanks very much to all

Glad you have all received your PINKYs and are pleased with them. I will tell Barbara Maria she will be very pleased.

By the way Thrifty and Goaty, I have just 're-cooked' the Australian cake, just to prove I could.

Thank you all for your comments and we certainly had a good swap.
I will be putting the December swap lists up as soon as I can.

ha ha, still not as good as the real thing! It really does look scrummy enough to eat.

I was lucky enough to get one of Barbaras lovley water pumps too, so I really did mean it that they are getting really good.

LOL Nona, the circles are still upside down tho, te he he
I think you do a fantastic job, getting us all organised, and getting all the ATC's sorted, posted and photographed. I'm sure there would be a lot more mix ups if I did it.

thriftycrafter, I didn't know about them as well but never mind, a circle is round anyway. LOL.
(If I remember right I think the circle labels were on Oz style too?)
Goaty always laughs at me how I miss things.

May be it's the right way up then, I was just going by the wording on it. Can't wait for next month's they are all so good, and I still don't 'do' ATC's :surprise: , do think that might have changed?
Can't wait for my SIL to see them all as she swaps them on a different forum, I think ours are a cut above.

Of course ours are better thriftycrafter 'cause we make 'em I am sure you are an A1 ATCer now.

I recieved my pinkie on thursday and forgot to post so I got the cheetah,courting couple and the chocolate and cards. The chocolate looks good enough to eat lol

I thought for ages what to do for c and can't believe I didn't think of Chocolate!!

i did offer to taste the choccy for teabag..she wouldn't let me lick the atc's????

I'm glad she didn't Goaty, it wouldn't have done you any good, and was V tiny, us women need much more choccy than that!

You're a comical lot
