Must Love Cats ATC Swap

The theme for >this< is CATS. (I hate typos)

Gotta do this one--I am owned by a 15 1/2 year old

My oldest one is about 17. Then I have 2 sisters that are 10. One of them is the black and white one above, her name is Jiri.

Lovely swap!

I am new to ATC's but I have been a friend to cats all my life. My boys are brothers, Shadow and Frisky. They play model for me with the digital camera, as I can't resist the sprawling positions and places they get into - the bathroom sink is a much sought after bed. I'll have lots of fun making ATC's (asking for feline input as I go, of course).

Of course! Feline input is very important! They sound like fun cats.

I currently live with 4 cats (ages 9, 11, 12, & 14 - all shelter rescues) and love ATCs. This one was a no brainer for me.

Maybe I'll ask Bootzie (the 14 year old) for help. He's always sitting on my lap anyway. :)

I'm always painting cats, so this swap is right up my alley!

I do love cats! I have 8 of them . We have found 3 in a bin, they have be throwing away just like that can you believe that? My son heard them, and the were only 4 weeks, and now a couple years later, the are male cats and all of them are 7 a 8 kilo’s!

A Nabors moved away and “forgot� the cat, 2 cats from a animal shelter and 1 of them was pregnant and I kept the kittens. Greetings from Martha

How come we didn't get our swap partners assigned yesterday?

Oh oops, I was thinking it closed the 21. My mistake. I guess we will get them sometime today huh?

Hi there today is the 23rd and I haven't gotten my partners either...Anyone else??

I was told sometimes SB does this - I'll go ask Mereridkat.

I have three swaps that are closed for new members and none of them have partners yet. :(

Sorry! It's my fault! I've had an interesting week, and although I've been trading emails through Swapbot all day, I totally forgot about assigning partners here.

I just created a Newbie Swap. http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/2741

Hi, I can not get my computer to bring up my partners for this swap, but since it is quite late maybe it's me. I will try again tomorrow. Grammysammy

I was able to get all my partners...my cards are enveloped and will be in the mail box on monday!

Just thought I'd market my first swap here on Swap-bot. It is on the list and will be closing in a week or so. I am sorta discouraged what with it being my first lead. Only 4 people have signed up so far. If you like to do #5 tags, please join it.

My cats are on their way to Justine, Elke, and Marti. I hope you like them! I also hope they arrive soon since they are going to places like Hong Kong and Germany!!

Got 2 beautiful cards from Panda today! All the way from Hawaii! Thanks so much, I love them.

Mine will be going out tomorrow morning on my way to work... one to CA, one to OR, and one to a fellow Canadian in ON. This was my first time making ATCs. Hope they're ok!

Cats are on their way to Kim Butler, Veronica Gee and Pam Bartlow. Hope you enjoy them.

Redwing 480: I got your cards today. I love them, especially the "What cat's are thinking". That is so true. My cat refuses to use her own bed, she's too busy jumping between all the kids beds.

Hey all, I recieved one lot of mine today, I can't quite make out the name on it sorry but it says Honey Pumpkin Creations :D thanks so much they are great!

Mine are getting sent out this friday 13th of april. I have had to redo 3 of them as they turned out not as well as planned. But they are almost finnished. So soon my pretties!

At least the ginger didn't eat them when I was away over easter! :)

And another post from me! Thanks Julie! Those are beautiful!

I note from the gallery that we're supposed to post pix of the ATCs we receive -- there are only 2 scans posted and it appears that many of you have received cards. I'd love to see some of the artwork if you get a chance to upload your received cards.

Thanks!

I goofed big time and clicked the "Sent" link. I didn't mean to do that. I woke up with a terrible cold yesterday and it is just getting worse. I haven't mailed mine yet but I should have them out of here by Friday, the 20th. I am so sorry - I wouldn't have done that I bet if my head didn't feel like it was stuffed full of cotton.

Have any of mine arrived yet? Madquilter should have gotten hers a day or so after I had posted it.. Bit concerend.. even the US ones should be there nowish :S

I SOOO lucked out. My daughter didn't realize I hadn't mailed these out and she snagged them and got them to the post office for me (since I am stuck with this miserable cold and don't drive anyway). So my three envelopes went out Thursday - one international, two USA. I hope you enjoy them (but I'm not telling who yet - unlesss I see someone panicking - then I'll tell)

Moline & Squintgrad please let ne know when you have recieved them so I know that they are not lost in the mail.

Thank You so much ~Mystical Angel~

Maryellen - I will be sending you somthing extra very soon I have found more of those fatty cat stickers that you love :)

I received the cards from Cindy, thank you for them. I promise I'd not disturb the queen :=)

And Steph, your 'cats' arrived also. They are cute and smell good :=)

Thank you both!

I received ATCs from Junnifer "NYX" -- This is her firt swap and she designed and made beautiful lino cuts -- even the back of the ATCs are original! I've uploaded pix in the gallery -- you should check them out!

My compliments to all the swappers -- this is one of the best swaps ever -- great creativity!!

Pj Minneapolis

Thanks everyone for sending these. I have received from all my partners. Much better than the bird swap where I received 0 out of 3 partners!! Grrr.

Mandy - Thank you for the sweet cat ATCs - very lively and colourful! Emma was tickld to see they came from you (me too).

Hello everybody. I have been out of action for about 2 months due to a seriously ill daughter. When a child is ill everything else is put aside until she comes home and is safe. To all you people out there whom I have not sent swaps to I am terribly sorry and I will start them immediately. I have just made my cat atc's and I hope Marissa, Barbara and Rekesha enjoy them. I will post them on Thursday 26 April. As all shops are closed tomorrow being Anzac day.

Mystical Angel: You are too nice to make the effort to send me the fatty catty cats. I rated you and gave you a heart for the laughter they caused. Thanks, thanks and oh yea...... thanks.
