June swap

Posting this a bit early, so that I don't forget before we're off to Cornwall.  I offered to do this month's swap as Karelyn is quite busy enough just at the moment.

We haven't done one of these for ages, so the June swap is two ATCs - two 2-dimensional ATCs, so no embellishments, just play around with paper/paint/ink/stamping/drawing/writing/printing/whatever (paper on paper is OK, in case anyone wonders).  Quicker than sorting through your stash for ages looking for just the right embellishments, and no need to go to the Post Office if you haven't got a Large Letter stamp, for those who don't have much time.

Sign up by 11th June, swaps to be posted by 25th June.  Please post on here when you've sent yours.

Signed up:

Lynda - will post to Karelyn
Karelyn - will post to Lorraine
Lorraine - will post to Maria
Maria - will post to Alison
Cath - will post to Lynda
Alison - will post to Cath

Yes Please

Me too, please.

You reckon one's enough??????

Will put your names down, Karelyn and Lorraine.

One probably isn't enough, Lorraine, but I try to think about those who work full time and who might be put off if the swap is going to take too long to make. Rather have more people join in than lots of goodies for the few!

Lynda

yes please

I work nearly full time, but I usually make at least 2 anyway as there's usually one that's carp, so I don't send that one, 2 would be no problem.

I can do 2 just as easily too, just let us know

Will add you to the list, Maria.

Maybe we'll see what the rest of the signees would like to do: if everyone is happy, we could do two.

Lynda

Me too please & think I could manage 2 if that's what you decide.

Thanks, Cath - will put your name down.

If anyone else signs up in the next week, I apologise in advance if I don't add you to the list, as I won't be able to get on much, if at all, after tomorrow. Will do it when I get back next week.

Lynda

Anyone else want to sign up for this: Saturday is the last date for putting your name down.

Lynda

ive made two, all ready to go off when you tell me who to send to Lynda

If it isn't to late I would like to join in please. It's fine if it is to late I will understand, my own fault for not being on the forum.

My fault too, Alison, as I should have got this organised at the weekend! Glad to have you on board: will put your name down and work out the swapees (want to try and make sure everyone gets someone different).

Unless anyone says to the contrary, we'll go for two ATCs.

Lynda

Nobody has said otherwise, so we'll go with two ATCs.

I've put the swapees names on the first post.  I tried all sorts of combinations: next one down, next one but two down, next one up, next one but two up, but all of them had pairings we've already had this year.  Trying to make sure we have variety, especially as there's not many of us signed up to this one.

Would be grateful if you could put up a thread for the pictures, Lorraine. Thanks.

Lynda

lovely Lynda, thanks

ALERT! ALERT! Di has very kindly PMed me to say my brain has finally died and I had two people posting to Maria.

Have changed the list, so that Cath is now posting to me and Alison is posting to Cath. Hope nobody is inconvenienced.

Sorry.

Lynda

Oh, goody. That'll make up for missing Maria's b/day.

hee hee, suits me nicely I have to say

That did cross my mind, Lorraine: I tried doing next-one-down till it got to the repeats of swapees, so it just worked out that way. Thought of that as soon as I put it down on paper.

Lynda

posted to Alison today

Well done, Maria! Haven't even thought about mine.

Lynda

Two gorgeous ATCs arrived from Cath today: thankyou so much, Cath. They are both so different, too. Will put up a pic later.

Lynda

My lovely ones from Alison arrived too thankyou Alison, photo later.

Mine will be posted Monday. Sorry to be a tad behind this time.

Will sort a gallery out later when I get on pooter.

Thanks, Lorraine. I'm sure no-one will mind if you're a bit behind - just lovely to have you on this swap.

Got home yesterday evening to two lovely ones from Maria, Thanks so much. I will get to photo them this morning.

Glad they arrived ok Cath, and you like them.

glad they arrived Alison, was a bit worried after Caths went missing that time

They must have arrived on Thursday judging where they were in the pile of post, :) so just missed us by about a hour. Still lovely to come home to nice post.
