Description:

I was in a swap (Your Choice, My Choice) where I could request the theme of one of my ATCs. I added video games for my son and my lovely partner made him a Kirby ATC and he is THRILLED! Now he wants to trade ATCs.

You and your child will each make 1 ATC for a partner and their child for a total of 2 in an embellished envelope. Please add in the comments section your child's name, age and likes/dislikes.

Kid's ATC: Adults may help young (under 5 maybe?) or special needs children with their ATC but let's let them do most of it themselves. Please include some drawing on it but stickers are allowed for the kid's version.

Adult's ATC: Send any theme but please check your partner's dislikes and don't send those. Feel free to make your ATC for the child too if you wish. Please do not use stickers as your main image; good quality card making or scrapbooking stickers are allowed as embellishements only. Please make something beautiful you are proud of and would be thrilled to receive. Keep the ATC PG and child appropriate as the child will be opening the envelope. Failing to follow this may result in a rating of 3.

Mailing: Please address the package to the kid and enbellish the envelope somehow so it looks colourful and exciting to the child. Doesn't have to be elaborate and if you choose, your child may do the embellishing. Stamps, stickers or drawings are great.

Extras: Hopefully if you send any of the following, your partner will give you a heart. Stickers, a letter about where you live, your family, school, hobbies, pets, sports etc.; a postcard from where you live, a drawing by the child to the other child, a picture of your school or goodies for the parent.

Must have a 4.85+ rating to join. Please do not sign up if you have any 1s EVER or 3s in the last 6 months. If you have a good explanation, PM me. Newbies welcome as long as you PM me at least 3 days before the end of the swap. Flakers will be banned from all of my future swaps and will be added to the flakers group. I will angel the adult ATC, I can probably talk my son or his friend into angeling the kid one.

PM me with any questions. Enjoy!

Edited for dates: I just realized that my son doesn't come back from vacatoin with his nana until the 24th and he will have work to catch up on. So we all get another week.

I am signing up to do this with my granddaughter who will be 5 on June 2. She loves making ATC's with me, so this is perfect. Her favorite color is pink, although lately she has taken a liking to red as well. She loves Hello Kitty, and My Little Pony, and she is taking ballet and tap lessons. She has 2 brothers (one 13, one 2) so she is also interested in sports, and she wants to be a builder when she grows up -- maybe because she has an aunt who is a civil engineer and who has started teaching her to love power tools! We are excited about this swap -- can't wait to get our partners!

My 7yo daughter would like a non-Disney, glittery, brown haired princess. Her fave colors are purple and orange. We're both excited to do this swap!

Emthe, a princess is pretty specific. Please provide a couple more topics in case the child in question is a boy and doesn't want to draw a princess or cannot draw a princess. The info here was more for likes and dislikes, not a specific topic.

Hi. I'm joining with my nine year old son. He loves Doctor Who and he loves dogs. He loves making ATC's.

Sorry Bragal, didn't even think about it. Let me repost- Daughter digs girly stuff.

Maya is about to turn 7, and likes a wide array of subject matter. I know she'd love an ATC with a theme of Totoro, Rainbow Brite, Strawberry Shortcake, tea party ... or any sort of bright & cheerful subject. She loves animals as well. Not really so much into princesses etc. Also loves musicals - Hairspray & Mama Mia especially, and we just went to see a live production of High School Musical.

I am joining with my younger sister, Annabelle. She is 10. She likes cows, American Girl Dolls, Harry Potter and anything magic related (dragons, fairies, etc.) Her favorite colors are light light green, and purple. Nothing too girly.

I will be participating with my daughter, Nico. She is seven years old, and likes kittens, guinea pigs, and monster trucks (what can I say, she's complex).

Oops, sorry. I read that the "sent by" date as the 14th June. Apologies to our swap partners, the atc's will be sent out on Tuesday... sorry.
