ALPHA-2T..(APRIL - 2010).. ATC swap

ALPHA-2S..(APRIL - 2010).. ATC swap

April 2010
This is the continuation of our ALPHA-2 ATC swap
. . . . . . . . . . . . . Alphabetical ATC swap.
This months (March) title will be: ALPHA-2T. . . . . . folowed by ALPHA-UT 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'.= last Tuesday in every month
To join in you will need to make 4 portrait style identical ATCs (or as near as possible keeping the colours the same).
ATCs must measure 2.1/2" x 3.1/2" an International Size
Not just computer print-outs please, they must contain some crafting technique, so as to be fair to everyone.

. . . . 'Sign-up by date'.. for ALPHA-2T = Saturday March 17th
. . . . 'Get it to me Date.. for ALPHA-2T = Tuersday April 26th. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
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.

I am waiting for my Techy bloke to come and fix this PC any time now, about an hour I think, now so things might not get finished at one time.

Add me to your list when you can Nona. Hope it is fixed soon, cannot be without our toys! lol

Include me please.

Yes please

yes please

I've done mine, so I'll give them to Goaty this weekend, if that's OK Nona.

I've done mine and I'm giving them to Goaty as well.
At least I know they will arrive safely (unless gOaty gets to the vino)

Pinky posted today Nona. Old fashioned snail mail for me I'm afraid! lol

I am taking an empty box labelled 'For teabag' that way they wont slip into my bag and hide lol

That's a good idea as I have two things to go in it.

Who's birthday is that then ??

I gave my t's to Goaty. Hopefully she has passed them on to you.

Mine are in the post.

I have done some 'relaxation', they will be in post first class tomorrow. I was too relaxed to post them any earlier .

(Only joking, only just finished them!).

Nona - has Suzy given you my ATCs ? I gave them to her at the retreat
but I notice they are not down as received.

Sorry forgot to post up that my swaps went in the post Saturday morning.

Steph I updated the list last night and Cynthia I got yours and SueD's this morning thankyou.

...but not mine?

That's the last time I'm paying Royal Mail for First Class postage then

Royal Mail did me proud though made my ATC's multiply, apparently I sent relaxation and number 3 too, they weren't in the envie when it left here LOL
I think you might have got a bit carried away there Nona, I only did letter T, crumbs that's enough for me!

Bit of Nona magic there then !!

Fairy Dairy dust has worked. All correct.
( I think )

Your PINKYs will be a bit late this month as I still have the builders in and I cannot get to
sort them untill they have gone and I can get the house back to something like normal.
Meaning space for me to get my tables out for sorting.

All PINKYs posted today with P.O.P.

The Gremlin was me working on it. I had it nearly finished and it 'timed out'. So I had to start
all over again so I bunged it up wrong and kept editing it, that way it couldn't time out again.

you must have popped on in the middle of it going up.
