ALPHA-2i ...ATC swap

MAY
This is the continuation of our new ALPHA-2 ATC swap
. . . . . . . . . . . . . Alphabetical ATC swap.
This months (May) title will be: ALPHA-2i. . . . . . folowed by ALPHA-J-K and so on.
This ALPHA-2 started in September 2008 and I will run this swap for the full alphabet.
Each month will have a 'Sign Up By Date' and a 'Get It To Me Date'.
To join in you will need to make 4 portrait style identical (or as near as possible) ATCs. . measuring 2.1/2" x 3.1/2"
. . . . 'Sign-up by date'.. for ALPHA-2i = . . Monday May 11th
. . . . 'Get it to me Date' for ALPHA-2i = . . Tuesday May 25th (the last Tuesday)
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The reason for making 4 ATCs is, so that when your swaps returned you you will receive your own Number 1 of 4 (1/4) back each month and 3 of other peoples to collect. This gives us all chance to collect 4 complete alphabets whilst keeping a memento of our own Arty work to peruse for further ideas.
If you save the received swaps in a 9 pocket collectors page it is nice to able to view a 3 month swap on each page.

Maria, this is the message I put up last Thursday on the ALPHA-2H thread.
Perhaps it is just late in arriving.

sorry Nona, Ive posted elsewhere but Ive got them now thanks.

posted letter I and month of May to you today

My offerings have been posted this morning.

I love waiting for these super filled PINKYs to arrive even though I can't keep them all as I would like to. It always is a very hard chioce for me to make, although I love teasing Goaty.

Nona - I can see the appeal of that

2 more loaded PINKYs today from Patty & Amullree.
You lot have come up with some super 'YEAR-month' ones again, things I would never have thought about.
I am having difficulty with my 'YEAR-month' this time a I need to draw some lambs. I think they will have turned into ewes by the time I get them done!

Haven't mine arrived Nona ? Should be with you by now :o((

lol, mutton stew anyone?

I have done my June and nearly finished letter J but the "I hate ..." is really stumping me at the moment.

Me too Di. Can't think of anything. I don't think I hate anything or anyone. I
do dislike things, but hate is a very strong word.

Di, I have so many things I can think of to hate shall give you one of mine.
Steph, use 'dislike' if you want it's the same difference. Just something you do not tolerate would do.

I hate public loos, but eh ...... hardly appropriate.

Wait 'till we get to the 'I Love' theme (perhaps) ,with no hearts or roses or sloppy stuff. Not a sure theme yet though.

Rice pudding, bleurgh, slimey plughole bits....

Mine posted today
