Celebrate! January ATC

This Celebrate! ATC swap is part of the second year in a series of monthly themed ATC swaps. However, you don't have to participate in each one! You can do all 12 sets throughout the year or you can pick and choose which months you want to do!

So let's celebrate January!! January is full of great things to celebrate!! Book Blitz month, Cervical Cancer Screening month, National Hot Tea month, Celebration of Life week, Happy Mew Year for Cats day, Fruitcake Toss day, Positive Penguins day, NFL play-offs, New Year's Day, birthdays, anniversaries, and many, many more!!

For a fun list of "days" in January check out: http://www.brownielocks.com. Click on the link for all holidays in 2009 (about halfway down the page on the left) and select the month you want.

For this swap you will make a total of 2 ATCs...1 for each partner. Aim for hearts be sending more than 1 ATC or perhaps a small surprise such as ATC supplies to your partners!

They may be of any celebratory theme as long as it is something that occurs/may occur in the month of January.

As you know the theme already, you can go ahead and start on your ATCs now!

This swap is international.

Also, this swap is open to all with a rating of 4.5 or higher and no no-sends within the past 2 months. Newbies are welcome with a full profile and/or by contacting me.

I will be banning anyone who doesn't meet the above requirements as well as anyone who seems dodgy! Celebrating is no fun when your partner flakes!

So please sign up only if you fully intend to follow through. Thanks!

In general, ATCs (artist trading cards) are miniature works of ART. The size of the card must be 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches...the size of a baseball card. Just about any media may be used (paper, yarn, photos, magazine clippings, paint, pen, pencil, rubber stamping, fabric...)...mostly use your imagination! The card should be sturdy so don't use flimsy paper for the backing/background. Please send something to your partner that you would like to receive yourself.

Most of all...have FUN!
