~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am very late putting this Y & Z list up as I have been ill for the last week.
Brain came back today well I think it has ! This is how I felt.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As we are coming to the end of our 'swap theme 3' Alphabet, next year I will be running a
new theme to replace it.
Aftre talking with Steph, we decided it will be ZODIAC starting in January.
Because there are 2 Zodiac signs for each month we will start our collection with Aquarius.
This will give us a whole years ATC swap theme and we will have a nice set at the end.

January starting theme 3 title, will be ZOD-AQUARIUS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Y&Z please I'm putting y in the post tomorrow.

my pinky gone off today.

I posted my y's yesterday.

Spot the deliberate mistake when they arrive

Here are your ALPHA-2Y ATCs....... (only 75 minutes to get this pic up ) (somewhere in the processing from my PC to Photobucket the whites turned blue grrrr)


Top Row - Me, Teabag, title = Yo-Yo, and my own drawing.. Joy, title = Eastern Promise..
Karelyn. title = Yorkshire (like the 'Yorkshire' Pudds LOL)
Middle Row - Di, title = Your Special Day.. Barbara , title = Yellow Check.. HelenG,

Bottom Row - Steph, title = Yorrick.. Cynthia, title = Youthof Today.. SuzieC,

A nice variety friends, expecially for a difficult letter. Thank you all for joining in.
I will be enclosing a new list of 3 themes in your 'PINKY' when I post them.

As from January 2011.
Theme 3, ZODIAC will run for 12 months. Starting with Aquarius
(a chance to get head wih your ATCs now you know 2 of the themes.
This should be a great set to collect)
Theme 2 will run for 4 months. 4 SEASONS Starting with Spring
Theme 1 will continue to be various, as will theme 2 in May.

yarborough- n. hand of cards containing no card above a nine.

My Zeds, Number Nine and Jigsaw offerings were posted this morning.

Have you had your pinky returned with Y etc swaps in then Steph? Or have you got two envelopes on the go lol. Not had mine to send Z and others to Nona.

No pinkie yet, but thought I would get ahead and get these done.
Hope Nona is ok.
Enjoyed these, but then I always do.

That's a relief, thought mine had gone astray. Mine all ready to go - have been for about 2 months lol, I did them all once I knew topics.

You are always so well organised with them. I usually do them at the
beginning of the month they are due

LOL I do them the 2 days before they're due posting.

All PINKYs posted today with a POP receipt.
They were late being posted as I have was working on the new Theme List which I have
enclosed with them.
Thank you all for joining in the swaps and I hope you will enjoy the new themes.

link not working Nona, it takes us to another thread on here

Y arrived here today, we're at the quality not quantity end of the swap aren't we LOL Not so many left in now.
The yoyo by Nona has a pretty holographic addition which many yoyo's have, catches the light nicely. Helen, we learn something new... and the little yearbook by Suzie, great idea, very clever, thanks girls and now on to the last Zzzzzzzz

what a lovely set....not many comments about them this time...it often takes me ages to look throught the comments... By the way the year book wasn't by me (suzie) goaty...although i can easily take credit for it lol

I am so impressed with the quality of the ideas for the swaps...i was also puzzled about yarborough,,thanks for explaining.x x

No comments Suzy as mine haven't come yet. You ought to
know by now that the post in my part of the world always seems
to take longer than anywhere else in the UK. Hopefully, tomorrow.

Mine just arrived.

Y = Cynthia's Youth, Barbara's Yellow Check and Joy's Eastern Promise (Yasmin)

Nursery Rhyme = Cynthia's Wise Old Owl (very nearly did that one myself lol), Angela's Pussy Cat and Joy's Pussy Cat.

Number 8 = Steph' Garden Gate (clever), Angela's Bronze Anniversary and Suzie C's Spider.

Lovely set once again. Thanks Nona.

Just got back from having my flu jab and my pinky was on the mat
when I opened the door.

For 8 I got Suzie's spider (why didn't I think of that !) Nona's peek
a Boo and Joy's Thistles.

For Y I got Suzie's yearbook - (very clever), Nona's YoYo and
Karelyn's Yorkshire. I thought all 3 of these were excellent.

For nursery rhymes I got Di's tortois (loved the rhyme), Nona's
Dr Foster and Angela Deans pussy cat pussy cat.
Excellent batch.
Thanks you Nona and all who took part.

And my pinky was unfranked.
How kind.

I have taken mine for a walk past the post box today Nona lol. Will try to remember to put it in on Monday!

ATTENTION please
This swap will be late on returns as I received a postcard from Royal Mail
saying there is a Pink pkt to collect for 10p plus £1 fee
I will hopefully collect this on Monday/Tues, but I don't know who sent it?
I know it is one of us, good old PINKY's but it is important.

Thank goodness you've already got mine - I'd have worried if you hadn't.

Not guilty either! lol

Mine went in post yesterday so shouldn't be mine either

Mine went last Friday, not the one just gone, the one before 22nd and doesn't appear to be with you yet, but I certainly put a large first stamp on it, so if it's mine then it's come off in the letter box.
