Description:
WORLD WIDE SWAP Grandmothers are special people. Would you like to make ATCs of your maternal and paternal grandmother's first names? You will make 2 ATCs - one with each of your grandmother's names (or alternatively G-d Mother, Great-grandmothers or Grandmother figure) and send them to one partner. You may make your ATCs in any way you choose, including digital artwork (although a little embellishment is always nice). Your Grandmother's first names are the focal point of your ATCs but you may also choose to use elements that remind you of your Grandmothers...her favourite flower, colour, scent, chair, place etc. Your ATCs must be the standard 3 1/2" x 2 1/2". You must have NO recent no sends (msg me if there is a good reason). Please remember to message your partner if you are sending late for any reason and PLEASE remember to rate your partner when you receive your ATCs. I think there are going to be some beautiful images created for this swap. Have a great time celebrating your Grandmothers. :)

Boo Hoo! I've already finished my cards, but I had so much fun making them I'm not sure I can part with them. I'm going to scan then anyway so I can keep a copy.

One thing I included that I thought everyone else might think about-- I wrote a short bio blurb on the back of each card. That way the reciever will get a small insight into the woman behind the name.

I don't know, nor have any way of knowing my paternal grandmother's name. Can I use my maternal grandmother and great-grandmother's names instead?

Please feel quite free to use Grandmother's or Great Grandmothers or G-d Mothers names, or anyone who was a Grandmother figure in your life. Im very much looking forward to seeing some of these; thank you to everyone who has joined in :)

Oh how I wish I made ATC's! What a great swap idea!

Okay, I'm not using the first name of one of my gg's because she actually went by her middle name, which is cooler anyway (it's Noveda). So to my partner, I hope you don't mind! :)

Hi all! Today is the last day to send. If you have not sent yet please send a message to your partner and let them know. If anyone has not heard from their partner, or have not received their swap by rating time, please let me know. Thank you everyone for participating. This was a swap that brought back fond memories for me and I hope for you too. Thank you for sharing your Grandmother's with us. I have seen some great feedback already, congratulations. :)
