ALPHA-2d...ATC swap

This is the continuation of our new ALPHA-2 ATC swap
. . . . . . . . . . . . . Alphabetical ATC swap.
This months title will be: ALPHA-2d. . . . . . folowed by ALPHA-2e and so on.
This ALPHA-2 started in September this year 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-2d = Friday December 19th
. . . . 'Get it to me Date' for ALPHA-2d = Monday December 29th . . .
last day for posting, because of Christmas
I will leave to your discretion but I must have your ATCs in by Tuesday 30th Dec.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
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.

You're on mistyrat.

yes please, I have borrowed a stamp for SIL for this one, which I fear may be a tad too big, but we'll see.

Yes please, mine are also already made. Just got to get sorted for sending them.

Thriftycrafter and Helen you're both added on, thanks for joining.

posted to you tonight Nona (tho they wont go until Monday now)

Mine went in the post yesterday as well Nona. Get them to you early.

Joy, yours are the first ones I have received for this month, I got them yesterday. A Super 3 sets, thanks.

Di, thanks for the super Christmas/ATC card you sent me along with your ATCs. I love the way you have bradded it to the front of the card, a jolly good idea.

Mine will all be in the post tomorrow. There is talk of another
postal strike in this area. Gggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
They pick their moments don't they.

You're welcome Nona, took me ages to think of how I was going to attach them for easy removal lol.

Please sign me up nona
I haven't started them yet I will need to get my finger out!

Mine went in the post yesterday

Mrsfeefee I have added your name and I am pleased you are doing this months.

I received your PINKY today Sue (amullree), super 3 sets of ATCs you have made. Thanks for the pretty card as well, and have you by any chance got a cuttlebug machine?

wow they arrived quick I thought it would take a week, glad you like them. Yes I have a 'bug' have had it about 2yrs but only really started doing anything with it this year, its a great little machine the only thing I haven't been able to do yet is flatten bottle tops.

Amullree, well I have a 'Wizard' and I have flattened bottle tops init but I find it easier to put the Bottle top in between two blocks of wood (rubber stamp blocks) and bash it with a big hammer. Much more satisfing too.

In the post today, but I'm not feeling too bright and I think they reflect that, sorry to whichever (is that a word?) poor soul gets them.

mine posted yesterday

Thank you all for getting your Decembers ATCs to me in time for swapping.
I wish you all a Happy New Year and keep up the good work.

All your PINKYs were posted this morning witha P.O.P. receipt.
Please let me know when you receive them.

Dawn & Helen, don't bother about the extra cost on this lot but can you please put a large stamp in for the January's return post as I had to put extra postage on because they were too thick for the small stamp.
(A good job I didn't just post them as I have a post box opposite my home)

I think the post office is just too pernickity about the thickness of envelopes and are just diddling us.
