Comment: First, let me say that I am very sorry about your mom passing away. My dad is terminally ill with cancer and is fading away. I can relate to what you might be going through and know you will miss her dearly. As for this swap, I didn't feel that you took your time to make this beautiful like the swap requested. Looking at some of your other ratings, they have said similar things. The lightweight paper was falling off the backing, and the picture was very faded. The only design to it was a bit of glitter. I would be more than happy to change the rating if you resend something that better meets the requirements, and I can change this rating at any time, so take your time. If you do resend, please make sure to put the swap name in case I forget. Again, my apologies for everything you are going through.
Comment: Really beautiful ATCs, Jenny...and you read it right; I LOVE the vintage one so much! (Thanks for the cookbook, too...very unexpected, great recipes, and my first will be one of yours!).
Comment: Moms a special. You must keep her first in your life. I know, my 94 year old mom lives with me. It is a joy to have our moms. I love glitter and your ATC is beautiful.
Comment: Sorry to hear about your situation.
I will re-rate as well if I receive the swap.
UPDATE: received my swap today, thanks so much. Cute Halloween ATCs
Comment: Thank you for sending. I'm bumping this a up to a 3 due to the lateness. I like the cards you sent, although the thanksgiving one is a little oversized and won't fit in my ATC binder - I should be able to cut a little sliver off of the side to make it fit though! I really appreciate that you took the time to send all these cards even though I'm sure you're going through a stressful time.
Comment: Thank you for sending. I'm bumping this a up to a 3 due to the lateness. I do like the card, but it is basically just stickers on cardstock as far as I can tell.
Comment: Thank you for sending. I'm bumping this a up to a 3 due to the lateness. The card is cute, but looks a little rushed and "sticker slapped". I hope your mother is doing better!
Comment: Hi Jenny, thanks for the lovely cards. I understand your situation, and that is why i have rated a 5 and also given you a heart., even though it was late..
Comment: Thanks so much for the cute dog ATC. I'm so sorry to hear about your mom's illness; I hope she recovers completely. My mom passed away 5 years ago and I miss her every.
Comment: I did get this card but it does not fit the swap requirements at all in anyway. It was 6 smiley face stickers stickers slapped on a card. Very poorly done and rushed. Late as well.
Comment: I'm sorry but this isn't really an ARTIST trading card. I understand that some people aren't great at art, but just glueing a few gems to a piece of scrapbook paper shows that there was no effort put into it. here's a link to the picture of the atc for reference:

Comment: Thanks. Your cards are very close to the 'sticker slapping' category so perhaps try to work on that. A collaged background, some torn edges, handwriting all can help add a unique touch easily like with your school days one that had a personal art effort. Keep trying and have fun!
Comment: Well...everybody had different views about art for sure. It's ATC size, but I ask you what kind of work you did on it? put glue in a piece o0f fabric and paste it. That is not creative ATC's supposed to be. But it's a ATC size, right? A least you could put some glitter around the fabric so it does not looks like you just paste a fabric in a card running on time. Also you sent me 5 days later then the due date and did not send me any PM.
Comment: Jenny, loved your ATC. What a wonderful thought.
Got your message. Would be glad to, but I am not home, so I will do first thing tomorrow.
Response: I only wish that I would of thought to take pics of what I have made and who I sent what to so I would know what one you were talking about. Could you take a pic and send it to me? jhayton2011@gmail.com
