Description:

I plan on doing a series of these swaps with the alphabet. I will post another every week. So if you decide to join all 26 swaps, you will have 26 new ATCs.

This is a real simple ATC swap.

You will have 1 partner and you will sent them 1 ATC .

The main requirement is that your ATC must be about something that starts with the letter "D". Some examples would be ....dog, duck, daisies, dots, deer, dreamcatcher, doctor, dice, dachshund, dragon,dalmatian, dragonfly,etc. You choose, as long as the theme is about something that starts with the letter "D".

Just to clarify, say I chose "dog " for the theme of my ATC. My main idea about the ATC would be a dog. There may be other items on the ATC that starts with the letter "D", so on the back of my ATC, I would write the word dog.

You can use any media you wish. Please don't just put a sticker on it and call it done. Stickers are fine, as long as you do something to go with it.

Must be standard size ( 2.5" X 3.5" ) and sturdy.

Please make sure you put your info on the back of the ATC. Also, please note on the back of the ATC what your "D" is.

I think that covers it all for the ATC. Any questions, please PM me or make a comment.

Anyone may join this swap as long as you have no 1 or 3 ratings in the last 3 months. Newbies, must have a filled in profile, not just a few lines.

If you have only 1 or 2 lower ratings and would like to join this swap, please PM me about your lower ratings with an explaination and I will look closely at your profile and get back to you about joining the swap.

To me the hardest part of hosting a swap is having to ban swappers, I really hate that part. But I will ban anyone who has lower ratings and does not contact me about them and get my ok to join the swap. I only do this so as to protect the swappers that are involved in the swap, I do not do this to be mean. I really hate flakers and don't like to see anyone not get their swap that they signed up for.

I reserve the right to ban any swapper that I feel iffy about.

I will give a three week sign up time and two weeks to get your ATC sent out to your partner.

Note: At another member's suggestion ( thanks SpeechieGirl ), I have decided that the beginning of each month while I am doing this series of swaps, I will do a " make up " swap for the letters that we have already done, incase anyone missed out on those letters.

NOTE: Anyone who has completed less than 5 swaps....Since this is going to be a series of swaps, if you are in a previous letter and partners have been assigned and you have not signed in between the time of the last letter's partners being assigned and the day these partners are assigned ( 1 week ) , you will be banned for participating in this letter ATC. An example to clarify: The "A" ATC partners were assigned on 12/2/09. The "B" ATC partners will be assigned on 12/9/09. If you are signed up for "A" ATC Swap and have not signed into Swapbot since 12/1/09, you will be banned from "B" ATC Swap.If you have any questions, please feel free to PM me.

Explanation for edited dates: I was really hoping that these ATC swaps would go well and quickly, but as of 12/16, the send date of "A" ATC Swap, there were 8 that had not marked sent for the swap. One has communicated with me and her partner, so I know what is going on there. The other 7 ????? Due to this, I have changed the dates on the "D" and "E" ATC swaps, so that partners are not assigned until after the sent date of the previous letter and will continue this way with the rest of the swaps. Anyone who has not sent their swap by the sent by date and has not contacted me to let me know why, I will be banning from the next letter. I apoligize ahead of time for any inconvience that this may cause anyone and I apoligize to the people who did sent their swaps by the due date, if you feel this is unfair. Being a host, of course I want everyone to do their swap and for everyone to get what they signed up for, but in any case where this does not happen, I will angel any ATCs not received.

Its too bad you had to edit your dates-these cards are non-partner specific and could be done NOW!!! Mine are- I have cards through H I think since I plan to do your entire series-I notice many good swappers are doing their cards which requre no input from partners as soon as they sign up and I get my cards much quicker-great swap-lets keep it going.....

You are right @rick1949 I have almost all letters covered by ideas and start to make them, whenever I have time, because there may be some days comming up, when I have no time at all to craft.

@bjohnston67 - I do hope, you don't have do deal with a lot of flakers. This is a great series! (says the ATC-Newbie :) )

bjohnston67 12/19/2009 #

Thank you both for your comments!

I plan on getting most of mine done up after the holiday so I can be ahead of the game too....just right now, I am trying to complete some craft projects as Christmas presents and have not had the time to get ahead on the ATCs.

Hugs!

Have aa great Holiday and Thanks for the alphabet swap-I am really enjoying it-and I have been sending multiples to swap partners one actually got A B and C-I think that encorages people who have missed a swap to keep playing... I have to wrap and then I'm done-I have put out hand drawn fat booksm altered boxes and albums and about 175 ATCS not to mention another 50 or so hand made christmas cards in the last month but a day without crafting is like a day without crafting LOL Have a good one

I haven't received my A yet...how do I find out who the sender is? Is it the same person I sent mine too? I would have all my letters done early except that I like to read the profile of the receiver and make something I think they will like. Have a great Christmas!

Emkay 12/21/2009 #

Skraperella - mail is slow around this time. I haven't recieved mine either, but then I am waiting for other swaps to arrive too. In the yellow box is a link: Rate your partners and coordinator...there you can see, who will send to you and there you have to rate later on.

Hi! I'm still participating and have mine made! I had a weird snafu with the mail, they sent back all of my swaps that were in handmade envelopes. This has never happened but I am getting them all back out ASAP! Also, I have D and E already made and won't be making the envelopes, so that should be fine! Thanks for the swap, it's a great idea! ~Andria
