Anyone Else Want To Play...?

Just a final reminder about March's ATC swap...there are 3 days left to enter, so if you've not already sent your ATCs, there's still time :) Also, if you haven't yet said you'd like to play along, but have a little time to spare (...I know, I'm joking right???!!!) just let me know and I'll add you to the list; we can hang on a couple of days if necessary.

The theme is GOING GREEN, and details can be found 2 posts below this one.

Thanks to everyone who has already sent their ATCs, they are awesome as always.

Another superb selection I'm sure you'll agree.

Don't forget March's swap theme is 'GOING GREEN.' Check out the previous post for details.

MARCH'S SWAP THEME

Oh dear! I just checked and my scheduled post for this month's challenge failed to go live :( So, I've pasted it underneath this, my apology.

Welcome back to Ali's ATC Swap Stop! Many thanks to everyone who joined in last month's swap, pictures of your wonderful creations will be posted in a few days.

This month, we are having a theme which you can interpret in a variety of ways...the title is:

GOING GREEN

now, that could include using the colour green, using recycled materials in an attempt to 'go green,' or you may decide to do something with St. Patricks Day in mind. The point is, it's UP TO YOU!

As promised, I will be adding a list of themes for the next few months to the sidebar very shortly, so that you can get a headstart if you want to.

Keep checking back for pics of last month's ATCs, and for that list of themes too.

My Apologies

I am here on bended knee, tail between my legs to beg for forgiveness!! I have to offer my sincere apologies about the January swaps, on top of being really busy decorating at home, 2 of my 3 little ones have been really poorly, so I gave the swaps to my DH to post for me, and I have just asked him about when he posted them, and he confessed that he'd forgotten all about them, and they're still in the glove box of his car!!!! :(

He wasn't home until after last post collection today, so I promise to get them in tomorrow's post first thing (just after I kill my DH that is!!) I do hope you agree that they are worth the wait, and thank you so much for your patience.

It seems that the people who have responded are happy to have themes posted in advance, so I'll get onto that ready to post for next month. If anyone has any burning desire to include any particular theme, please let me know and I'll do my best to include them. :)

Warm regards, Ali x

Your ATCs for our January swap are fantastic, I want one of them all! Our 'My Way' theme certainly brought out your best :D

Here they are, in all their glory for you to drool over!

See what I mean? Aren't they great! And each one of our participants has 4 of these beauties on their way to them right now!

If you would like to join our February swap, just drop me a line :)

February's Theme

Sorry this is a week late (tut tut!) As there are only 3 weeks left in February, we'll keep it simple and go with the theme of

LOVE

One of our participants has suggested that we set the themes for the whole year in advance, to give people the opportunity to plan ahead.

This is something I am happy to go along with if other participants would like to do it this way, so please feel free to let me know what you think. I used to run another swap on a forum I belonged to, and I set the themes in advance...it worked just fine.

 Please let me know if you are interested in joining our swap, and also what you think about setting themes in advance.

January's ATC Swap

Firstly, I want to wish you all a

I do hope you have enjoyed your time with family and loved ones.

And so, 2012 brings a new year, a new month, and a new ATC swap here at Ali's ATC Swap Stop!

For January's swap, the theme is:

** MY WAY! **

What does that mean you ask? Well, we want you to create your ATCs in whatever style you feel is your 'signature' style...in other words, you choose and create in the style you feel most reflects you.

The rules will remain the same:

• Everyone makes 4 ATCs, (all the same OR all different.)
• Send them to me (addy details upon request) by 31st Jan.
• Include a SAE (large letter stamp) with your ATCs.
• Receive 4 different ATCs by return!

That's it!

If you would like to join us, please let me know (leave a comment here or drop me an email.) We need 5 people to join in for the swap to go ahead.
