(that's me!)I

If you fancy joining our swap, then please drop me an email and I'll gladly send you details...whether you've made them before or are a first-time ATC'er! EVERYONE is very welcome!

Merry Christmas and Thank You

As we draw ever nearer to 'the big day' I have decided to bite the bullet and I am sending the ATCs from the Nov/Dec swap out to you, (despite not having received everyones who signed up.) I would like to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who has managed to take part in our swaps throughout the year, I do hope you have had fun.

We will return in January with a brand new swap, although it will depend on numbers to determine whether we are able to continue or not (we need AT LEAST 5 people to join in with each swap, or we will end up getting our own ATCs in the returns!!!)

Have a peaceful Christmas, with lots of festive fun, and of course, a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

November's Swap Theme

Grrrrr! So sorry I'm late with announcing this month's theme, we have been without internet for almost a week...AGAIN! :-(

So, with that in mind, I have decided to extend the closing date until December 10th. The theme will be:

WINTER/CHRISTMAS

We do of course need at least 5 people to join in, so please let me know if you are interested.

As always, we each make 4 ATCs (3.5"x2.5") to fit the theme, send them to me along with a SAE (large letter) and I will send you a random selection from those received.

The next swap will be January 2012

A big THANKYOU to everyone who has participated this year.

October Swaps...in the Post!

Thank you so much to everyone who took part, there are some awesome ATCs once again this month. Here are some pics for those who want a sneak preview of what is on it's way to them in the post!

Fantastic eh?! I'll be posting November's swap details shortly, so watch this space!

Whoops!!!

I just had a 'WHOOPS!' moment.....

As I was tidying away and sorting through my crafty bits, I discovered the label from the back of one of my September ATCs! I can't remember who is getting what, so whoever receives the ATC with a 'blank' backside (oooeeerrrr!!) please let me know and I'll pop it in with next month's swaps for you to glue on.

SORRY ABOUT THAT!!! :-/

Photos of our September Swaps

I thought I'd post up the fab ATCs made by those who joined in the September swap, where the theme was 'Make a Splash!' They are currently on their way to new homes, so watch out for the postie! Here they are:

Aren't they great? Don't forget, there's still time to join in with October's swap, the theme is SPOOKED! (See post below for details.)

OCTOBER'S Swap Theme

Whoops! late again! Sorry everyone, I seem to be chasing my tail at the moment.

September's swaps have arrived (just 1 outstanding.) A big thankyou to everyone, they're super, and will be on their way shortly :)

The theme for October's swap will be SPOOKED! Anything that is remotely scary will work, it doesn't have to be a Halloween theme....feel free to put your own twist on things!! ;)

All the usual rules apply, see the sidebar for details. We need a minimum of 5 people for the swap to go ahead, so please leave me a quick message to let me know if you would like to join in.

Thannks to everyone who joined in with the september swap, I hope you like your ATCs when they arrive.

We're BACK with a NEW Swap-Theme

It's SEPTEMBER and WE'RE BACK!

I hope you've enjoyed a lovely summer break, and are raring to go! As promised, we are back after the summer break with a new ATC swap theme. So, what is it I hear you ask...? Well, this month, let's make ATCs with a theme of......

*** MAKE A SPLASH! ***

Interpret this in whatever way you like! As long as your ATCs are the regular 2.5"x3.5" we're good to go!

Just a quick reminder of how things work:

• Make 4 ATCs (all the same or all different, it's up to you.)
• Post to me, Ali, to arrive by 30th September.
• Include a SAE with a Large Letter stamp for your returns.
• Follow the set theme and HAVE FUN!

We need at least 5 participants to make the swap work, so let me know asap if you want to join us!

Temporary Break...

Many thanks to everyone for your patience, I am pleased to say the May ATCs are on their way to you all, and I apologise for the delay.

As the summer months are fast approaching and everyone seems to be super-busy, we will be TAKING A BREAK for a couple of months....but rest assured, we WILL be re-starting again in September and I'm really hoping you can join me!

June's swap will still take place (hopefully....there are currently only 2 names on the list, and one of them is mine! ROFL!!!)

I do hope you all have a wonderful summer, and I look forward to swapping with you again in September.

June's Swap Details

Hi folks,

so sorry this is a bit late, can't believe we're over a week into June already!!!! May's ATCs will be on their way to you very soon, and when I have a few minutes to spare, I'll post pics here on the blog too.

June brings a new theme, and this month the title is

FLAMING JUNE

now, as you will know, that's the name of a very beautiful painting, but you can interpret it however you like....maybe you'll use the colours as inspiration, or something that happens in June, or maybe something completely different, the choice is YOURS!

Here's a little inspiration:

I do hope you can join us again this month.

May's Swap Reminder & Sneak Peeks

Hi everyone,

just a quick post to remind you that May's swaps are now due.....I have received about half of those who have expressed interest in joining this month's swap.....so I have included some sneak peeks below.

If you can't manage the swap this month, or are going to be a little late, please don't worry, I'm sure we all understand how busy everyone is, and there's no obligation to join in every month....just drop me a line to let me know.

Thanks for popping by!

April's Swaps POSTED

Wow, April came and went SO FAST! As May's SKETCH swap gets underway, so the April swaps are in the post, on their way to you. Once again, there were some wonderful ATCs which you can see for yourself in the pictures below. Of course, if you prefer a surprise then look away now!!

MAY'S Swap Theme...Something a Bit Different!

A very happy May Day to you all! I do hope the weather has been kind to you and you are looking forward to tomorrow's Bank Holiday.

With a new month comes a new theme for our ATC swaps, and this time we want to see something a little bit different; we want you to....

FOLLOW THIS SKETCH

Yes folks, it's our first SKETCH! All other decisions are entirely up to you....colours, images, papers, techniques etc. are all your choice.

I do hope you will join in with this one, and if you would like to then just let me know.

The ATCs for April will be on their way to you in a few days, and I will be posting pictures here on the blog as always for those who want a sneak peek!

March's ATCs POSTED!

Hi again everyone,

once again, my sincere apologies for the lateness in posting your ATCs out to you.....things have been way hectic the last few weeks, but they are at last in the box, waiting for postie to collect them in the morning.....Yay! I do hope you agree they are worth the wait :)

I am posting pictures below of all the wonderful creations from the swap, so if you would rather postie brings you a surprise, look away now! lol!
