I got my returns from the Magick swap yesterday, I love how they all are very light, with a very positive feel to them. Very much the opposite of my Dark Gathering returns...



I was also very fortunate to trade with nezumitoo, who has made the most amazing gothic Wonderland set, and she wanted some Wonderland in return:

I´ve finally recieved the last set of cards for my Wonderland Tarot swap, lildebi sent gorgeaus cards:



I´ve also sent out all of the cards, I hope they all will be happy with their returns! The returns I kept for myself are:



I also recieved my returns from the Dark Gathering swap:

I´m waiting for the last set of cards for the Wonderland Tarot swap to arrive, and when they are all in the mail, I will start another swap. My original plan was to make it a Victorian Villain swap, but now I´m having second thoughts - maybe I´ll do a Moomin Valley swap first... I had fun making cards last night!

I got one set for my Wonderland Tarot swap yesterday, so now I´m only waiting for the last one. Hopefully they arrive tomorrow, so I can swap out the cards.



I also got my returns from two swaps, Gothic Alice in Wonderland and Baba Yaga:

 

Today I also finally recieved my cards from Renmeleon, a 9/9 trade we´ve planned forever. Wonderful cards, all of them!

I´ve recieved no less than three sets of Wonderland Tarot cards, from platypus, JupiterPsyche and messmaker:

  

Only three sets missing, and six days to go!

I can´t resist cupcakes, so of course I had to join a cupcake swap! I made these cards last week:



I´m back on track with the ATCs, but in a less obsessive way, which feels good. Hopefully I can remain this state for a while - I do enjoy making and trading them, and I wouldn´t like for them to end up in my big pile of forgotten interests.

Yesterday obviousfront´s contribution to my Wonderland Tarot swap arrived, and they are so pretty. And along with the cards came the cutest little robot!

I´ve recieved Chronata´s beautiful contribution to my Wonderland Tarot swap:



I´ve also recieved my lovely returns from the Tim Burton swap:

For a person not very much into ATCs at the moment, I´m sure making a lot of them... I´m doing two 5 for 5 trades at the moment, with Suzee Que and with Mona in Denmark. I´m sending these cards:

 

Nuttynanner´s cards arrived today for my Wonderland Tarot swap:

I had to join the Mixed Media Marie Antoinette swap at atcsforall.com, I hope the cards are mixed media enough...



I actually feel rather good about these cards, I´m happy I´m making one extra card to keep!

I´m also doing a private 1/1 trade, and was going to do a goth girl with a cat. I had a sudden burst of inspiration, and made two cards. Since I can´t decide which one to send, I´m sending both:

  

And I got my returns from the All things Egyptian swap today:



I know I said i wasn´t feeling very ATC at the moment, but it´s getting better - the more cards I get to make, the more fun it is!

I finished the last cards for my trade with Sonja in Denmark yesterday, so I will mail them out today.

I´ve recieved the first contributions for my Wonderland Tarot swap, lovely cards from artsihorse:'

I´ve been so inte ATCs for the past 6 months or so, I guess it´s only natural (for me!) that the interest is fading - I´m finding other things more interesting at the moment. I haven´t signed up for a swap for a while, and haven´t traded much lately (saying that, I´ve got two cards in the mail, and I´m working for cards for a 9/9 trade). I still check in to atcsforall.com, but right now, all I want to do, is get into the Christmas preparations (yes, already!), hang at the Vintage HouseKeeping Circle (it´s finally up - yay!), and fiddle about in my flat. Very fall-y things, I guess.

So, I´m not quitting ATCs, but they might not get as much attention as they have lately. Heck, who knows - I might even get some readers back on my blog!

I got my returns from the Queen of Hearts swap yesterday. I didn´t get any of the cards I had hoped for, but I still got some pretty ones!



I haven´t been doing a lot of ATCs lately, but today, I´ve arrange a couple of swaps. At the moment, I´m more into decorating my home, vintage housekeeping and longing for Christmas. I guess that´s what fall does to me...

I´ve recieved my returns from the Graphic novel/comic book swap:



And I painted a card this morning, for trade, if anyone´s interested:

I had to join this swap - we got to paint the deepest, darkest corners of our mind, which is perfect - I have a lot of those!

I´ve got my returns from the Pointy hats and crowns swap, the yellow bird card was one of my favourites, so I was happy to get that one:



I got rockstarsgirls cards for my Alternative Alice swap, so all of tha cards have arrived, and I also sent them out today.



These are the cards I kept for my returns, I chose cards from the artists that didn´t send me an extra hostess card:



I´ve posted a tread for my new swap, Wonderland Tarot, and it will be approved when the Alternative Alice´s are beginning to reach their recipients. Yay!

I have a card for trade:



It was meant for the VIctorian Villain swap, but I didn´t find it villanous enough, so I made another card (Mrs. Lovett and one of her meat pies) instead, and will trade this instead.

I got Mandy´s Alternative Alice cards yesterday:

 

Only one set left, and they will be sent out! I hope they will arrive tomorrow!

Today I got some cards for myself also, the returns from the Let them have wings III:

I got my returns from the Carousel of Dreams swap yesterday, and I think it´s the best swap returns I´ve ever recieved! I hoped for cards from Chronata and Ravenswood, I didn´t get from Chronata, but I got from Ravenswood, and the other two was just as great. Woo-hoo!
