Description:

Oooo another year long swap (after my US Presidents Swap). I must be insane! But these are fun and you aren't commited to every month, you can join on just those months you want to. Due in the month of December are the following states: WASHINGTON, WEST VIRGINIA, WISCONSIN, WYOMING.

Each ATC must be 2 1/2 X 3 1/2" (standard playing card size). Made from a card, cardboard, or heavy paper stock - nothing flimsy (most you already know this).

Each card can be of any media, provided it took some time to make & is your own work. Something you'd be very happy to receive yourself.

Don't forget to provide your name, title of swap, swap-bot nickname, and date created on reverse. Also which State that card is.

You will have only one partner each month you participate. When we're through, if you stay from beginning to end, you'll have a set of all 50 US States.

No newbies, no persons with disparaging ratings (based on no sends, partial sends or habitual lateness), and you must courteouly rate those who have invested time in making ATCs for you.

I don't want to put too many requirements on the cards themselves, that might inhibit your creativity, but do make certain that the artwork does in fact portray something "unique" to that state.

I really look forward to this swap! I hope you all will consider giving it a try!!!

For HEARTS consider stickers and ephermia, but also consider doing one of the United States' Commonwealths & Territories for a truly complete set: AMERICAN SAMOA, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, FEDERAL STATES OF MICRONESIA, GUAM, NORTH MARIANAS, PUERTO RICO, VIRGIN ISLANDS.

My cards for this swap are done! I hope nothing happens to this series or I will be looking for a private swap!

I made several months worth back in April, as I was traveling in May-June. So when I started making the ones for August this week...I just kept going!

Well as you can see we made it all the way! I have decided to do two year long ATC Swaps next year. One will be "First Ladies" and the second will be all 45 U.S Poet Laureates ( a list will be provided). On the Poets (I will be giving more poetical license, please forgive the pun) and you may do portraits, silhouettes, parts of a favorite poem of theirs you enjoy. Making certain you always do your best and that you made an ATC you would love to have. Of course I don't need to tell this group that, every ATC I received this year has been a keeper. My software hasn't been recognizing my memory card the past few weeks. I am going to try a reinstall, but for now the swaps (I will put them up shortly) will have no photo.

Hmmmm....poet laureates sounds intriguing! Great ideas Mox!

Thanks, my First Ladies ATC Swap #1 & my first three Poet Laureates are up (see under my profile).

This was fun! I did "Starbucks" (Washington), "Old Faithful" (Wyoming), "Cheeses" (Wisconsin) & "Pearl S Buck" (West Virginia). I hope everyone gets into the spirit and becomes inspired on this, our last installment!
