ALPHA-2f...ATC swap

This is the continuation of our new ALPHA-2 ATC swap
. . . . . . . . . . . . . Alphabetical ATC swap.
This months (February) title will be: ALPHA-2f. . . . . . folowed by ALPHA-2g 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-2f = Saturday February 14th
. . . . 'Get it to me Date' for ALPHA-2f = Monday February 23rd
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
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.

And me please

I've posted my f's and February's to you today Nona. And yes the lady stamps were from a set of 4 from Hero Arts called Fancy Hats.

My February and Fs were posted this morning. Thought I'd post these and get
them off to you rather than wait and send two lots together.
I hope to get the March ones done but time is running out in case they
take me in next week.

Have you got my F ATCs etc Nona ?
I know deliveries are upset by the snow, but I just worry when they
don't arrive.

Not received yours yet Steph, only Helen's 2 sets. The post is running slow here.

Oh bum - I just hope it is the weather holding them up.
I have finished my next lot but I'll hang on to them until the weather/post
is back to normal.

I will ring you when the atc's arrive steph...i know you worry...you mustn't lol...Dr Goaty's orders.

and i will be posting my atc to you...

Steph, I haven't got yours yet but when DH phoned the Post Office up just now about a redelivery from last week the man on the phone said there were 2 items. "The redelivery & a PINK thing".
So it looks like I'll get it tomorrow.

Fingers crossed it's mine. We had post today nut no p/card Maria

posted my Fs and February to you todya Nona

Pinky is in the post from me too Nona.

Nona I have decided not to take part in the swop this month as struggling to get motivated so hopefully will join in next month

OK Dawn, we'll all look forward to next months from you then. Thanks for letting me know.
I set the themes but sometimes I even find them hard to come up with something appropraiate.

Any sign of my pinky Nona? Posted it last Tuesday.

or mine?

Maria & Di, got both of your PINKYS on Friday.
Two nice lots to swap girls. Thanks.

phew, was worried they had gone walk about!

My fault Di as I forgot to put the 'received' by your name on Friday. I was too busy putting them into their folders ready for swapping.

I have seen them..just for a change...and they are brilliant.

you should see teabag organising them all..its a true art.

And bless Nona for doing all this for us. I love my swaps as you know.
I have done my Gs etc for next month but didn't send them because of the postal
problems and didn't expect to come into hospital like I did, but feel assured
they are done and I will send as soon as I can.

you are not to worry about a thing Steph.

be a good patient x

Posted my pinky today

Mine in the post now
