Tired ATC's?

Swap categories: Artist Trading Card (ATC) 
Number of people in swap:18
Location:Other
Type:None
Last day to signup/drop:April 15, 2007
Date items must be sent by:April 16, 2007
Number of swap partners:5
Description:

If you're like me, I make ATC's all the time and have a few that I'm just tired of seeing over and over again -- no particular theme or color, just made them and have never had the chance to swap.

Well, here is your chance! Let's exchange five for five (one to each) with other participants and get something new to look at. Since they're already made, time won't be a factor.

We will also be banning the No-Senders from this swap since they have been so inconsiderate in the past.

Use your imagination, clean out your files, send a few to someone else, see new ideas, have some fun! Sign up today for this spring cleaning swap!

Now this is the one for me. While I am a newbie to Swap-Bot, I've been doing ATC's for a year. I look forward to new ideas, and the fact that I already have 5 ready to mail out on April 16th. Thanks Tannermom for the opportunity.

FingersInc 03/30/2007 #

So am I correct in understanding that we will send 5 ATCs. One each to 5 partners? Thanks for the clarification.

Nathalie 03/31/2007 #

Can they be also ATC's form other artists?

Susi 04/ 3/2007 #

Did, done, deal! I just need addys now! susi

I have a suggestion... when you get your envys ready, write the name of the swap on the OUTSIDE of the evelope, as well as the inside, makes things easier to help do rating! I keep envelopes, and sometimes I don't remeber who sent what. I should probably find a system to do this, but I know that when I write the name and the DATE it's due (I'm trying to do that now) it helps alot! susi

I bought a notebook to keep track of my swapping. It took a couple of swaps for me to get the right format, but now it works really well!

Below the name of the swap I write the number, to who, close date, send date, with space for me to write my sent date. Below that I then write names of who I've sent to, and below that, who I receive from. I tick off names as I know that people have got stuff from me, and as I rate them or they rate me. When swap is all done I fold the page in half.

The trick is forming a habit of noting in the book as soon as you get your mail! :)

wiccked 04/ 5/2007 #

Oh no. It left out lots of line breaks and messed up the formatting!
Use your imagination :)

The sign up date is April 15th and due date is April 16th....isn't something wrong here? There's no way humanly possible to get them to our partners in a day.....LOL Please let me know what's what...thank you. Marti

Greetings, I tried to find my Swap Partners yesterday, April 15, and again this morning, April 16, in hopes that I could address the envelopes and drop them in the mail with my tax forms. I'm not sure I'll have time to check this website again today so my apologies in advance for not sending the ATC's out by April 16. I'll try to check the website daily to see when the partners are assigned. Please know that I have ATC's in envelopes ready to address ASAP. However, my schedule is booked after work for the next two days so I might not get things in the mail until Wednesday! ann so it goes

randyruns 04/16/2007 #

I'm in a similar situation Anndri, but I'll try to check as often as possible.

starweaver 04/16/2007 #

Me too - envelopes ready, waiting for addresses!

MerriAmelie 04/16/2007 #

yippee... the addresses are here! unfortunately, the mail man has already picked up for today...but my cards are in the box waiting for him to come tomarrow! :)

FingersInc 04/16/2007 #

Sounds like many of us are in the same situation... envelopes ready, waiting for names and addresses. Now that we've got them, I believe we'll be mailing out en mass the next day or two. To all MY people, "it's in the mail!" LOL

user3610 04/17/2007 #

mine are on their way! Marti

BetsyG 04/17/2007 #

Put mine in the mail this morning - missed the postman yesterday. Look for them Fingers Inc., Origami Grace, tannermom, suzylucie, Neonmarshmallow, and enjoy.

Suzi, anndri, Belle the cat, kanm17, and paperprintcess, - your envelopes are on their way! I hope you enjoy them!

Today was an awesome day at the mailbox! I got all five of my cards. Grace, Susi, Colleen, Betsy and Alex...thanks to all of you. They are all so unique and different. Opening them all at once REALLY made me notice and appriciate how different everyone's styles are. Great swap idea and thank you all once again!
