12 Days of Christmas ATC Swap ~ Hosted by Bliss Angel


Back oh my Goodness, October? November?  I really can't recall, but Wendy at Bliss Angels put out a call for participants in her 12 Days of Christmas swap.  I dropped everything and joined right in!  It really was a blessing for me, as I have tons of paper scraps and thought it would be an ideal way to use them and muster up creativity in a new direction at the same time!

I was totally amazed at the creativity of this very special group of 11 other women!  Each of these are little works of art that I will treasure (no trading these off!).  A few months ago I purchased a Crop-A-Dile eyelet pliers and have been eyelet crazy ever since!  When I made my cards, I put at least one, sometimes more on each card, as I planned all along to turn my 12 Days of Christmas ATCs into ornaments. 

So without further ado..here's my 12 Days of Christmas ATC Swap by Bliss Angels:

On the first day of Christmas, My true love sent to me A partridge in a pear tree


On the second day of Christmas, My true love sent to me Two turtledoves

Me :)

On the third day of Christmas, My true love sent to me Three French hens


On the fourth day of Christmas, My true love sent to me Four calling birds



On the fifth day of Christmas, My true love sent to me Five golden rings



On the sixth day of Christmas, My true love sent to me Six geese a-laying





On the seventh day of Christmas, My true love sent to me Seven swans a-swimming


On the eighth day of Christmas, My true love sent to me Eight maids a-milking


Marlene

On the ninth day of Christmas, My true love sent to me Nine Drummers Drumming 



On the tenth day of Christmas, My true love sent to me Ten Pipers piping

 


On the eleventh day of Christmas, My true love sent to me Eleven Ladies Dancing

 


On the twelfth day of Christmas, My true love sent to me Twelve Lords a Leaping



My true love sent to me Twelve drummers drumming,

Eleven pipers piping,

Ten lords a-leaping,

Nine ladies dancing,

Eight maids a-milking,

Seven swans a-swimming,

Six geese a-laying,

Five golden rings,

Four calling birds,

Three French hens,

Two turtledoves,

And a partridge in a pear tree!







Please check out all the creativity on the blogs of these lovely ladies! And Thank You to Wendy for hosting this event and bringing such joy to all of us!

Merry Christmas!
