Description:

I am southern and have always been entertained by some of the southernisms that come out of my grandmother"s mouth. If she is very happy she will say "If I had a tail, I'd wag it" and if she eats too much she says "I'm as full as a tick" (yuck) I thought it would be fun to make an ATC depicting an old family saying. It can be any saying and from any cultural background ( transalated to English ) as long as it is something that is said by a family member. I think this will be so much fun.

This is my first time hosting a swap and I am so nervous I feel like a "prostitute in church" . I hope you will join!

You can use any media you wish. Please don't just put a sticker on it and call it done. Stickers are fine, as long as you do something to go with it. Must be standard size ( 2.5" X 3.5" ) and sturdy. Please make sure you put your info on the back of the ATC.

Anyone may join this swap as long as you have no 1 or 3 ratings in the last 3 months. Newbies, must have a filled in profile, not just a few lines. If you have only 1 or 2 lower ratings and would like to join this swap, please PM me about your lower ratings with an explaination and I will look closely at your profile and get back to you about joining the swap. You must have signed into Swapbot within 1 week of the last sign up date. To me the hardest part of hosting a swap is having to ban swappers, I really hate that part. But I will ban anyone who has lower ratings and does not contact me about them and get my ok to join the swap. I only do this so as to protect the swappers that are involved in the swap, I do not do this to be mean. I really hate flakers and don't like to see anyone not get their swap that they signed up for.

I wish I was into ATCs because this looks fun! If only I didn't already have 500 other hobbies ;)

This sounds so fun, but I will be out of town with no time to complete. If you do it again, I'm in! :)

My grandmother calls rain, "ninkin'" (nink rhymes with sink). She also made up this song she used to sing to me while rocking me ... "Bod - eeee - ohhh," she'd say that over & over in a country western twang. (I'm Southern, too!)

My grandparents were from Arkansas (my mother was born there, too.) I have plenty of sayings to use, some nicer than others, ha! I'm looking forward to this one, and wonder if some non-Southerners have joined to see what their grandma's had to say. :) Looking forward to receiving my ATC! :)
