March Swap

So, in honour of St Patrick this month, let us all

MAKE IT GREEN

A green colour theme it is for this month. It's the usual 4 ATCs and if you are a newbie and want to join in, email me at the address in the sidebar for all the details. To sign up, just comment below. Thanks all.

January Swaps

Sorry these are so late. After doing my last post, it became necessary to get a new PC! Has taken me a while to get back up and running and catch up on things. I wanted to make sure I had all the pics etc safe before swapping and sending them but have finally done it. The ATCs are in the post and on their way. So lets have a look at what you may be getting soon.

Well, it won't be a long wait until the February ones are on their way too.

February Theme

All the January ATCs have now arrived. I'm hoping to swap them early next week as I am heading away for the weekend and so won't have time. Hope that is OK with everyone. Our next theme for February is

IN MY HEART

If you want more information about how to join in with the swap then simply drop me a line at the email address in the side bar and I will forward all the info to you.

AND WE BEGIN AGAIN...

Can you believe we are now heading into our THIRD year!!!

Hope you all had a great Christmas and are now refreshed for our new swaps.

The first one of the year will be

Up, Up &Away...

Anything to do with the sky and flying. Hope this is a nice easy one to get the juices flowing again. As it's a new start I thought I'd refresh you with the arrangements for swapping. If you wish to take part, simply:

• Make 4 ATCs (unless otherwise stated as we sometimes like to mix things up a little)
• Send them to me with a SAE envelope (email me for my address, email link top of the sidebar)
• Use a large letter stamp on the envelopes as opposed to regular (due to the thickness of the packages)
• Once the end of the month arrives, I will swap them and return to you your ATCs

This is a monthly swap and I run it along calendar months. I will announce the theme at the beginning of the month and the due date for the ATCs is the last day of the month.  Any questions, simply email me at atcswappers@hotmail.co.uk

Finally, if you'd like to help spread the word about the swap, please do. You can post pics of your ATCs on your blogs, add the ATC Swappers blinkie (in the sidebar) onto your blog, tell your friends - ANYTHING. You do not need a blog to participate though.

If you are joining in with the January swap then please register your interest by writing a comment in this post.

Thank you, and here's to a great New Year of swapping.

November Swaps

Well I think November broke the record for the amount of ATCs swapped in one go - 240!!!

A superb turn out. They've all been swapped and are ready to go now.

Can I take this opportunity to thank all you wonderful swappers for another great year at ATC Swappers. I reall enjoy the swaps each month. I know sometimes I'm a bit slow but then I am a one person team and I want to share everything so it takes time to photograph, upload, swap etc so I do thank you for your patience.

Hope to see you all again in the new year. Please do spread the word and tell everyone about the swap. New members are always welcome and lets see if 2011 (our 3rd year) can be the biggest yet! The January swap will be 'Up, Up and Away' (anything to do with the sky) and February will be a Valentine/Love theme as we've never had one of those before.

So here we go with the 12 Days of Christmas ATCs:

You've Been BOO'ed Swaps

Sorry that I'm running late this month.

Well the You've Been BOO'ed ATCs are in the post and on their way too you as I type. The pics can be seen at the bottom of this post. So what's November got in store? Well I've explained to you what we will be doing before but in case there's some new people here who may want to join, here we go again. The theme will be

12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS

This does not mean you have to do something with the lyrics, it simply means you make 12 identical (or as near as possible) ATCs for a bumper pre-Christmas swap.

This means you can make them all exactly the same as I did last year:

But I don't mind if you change up the colour or image a bit like Jane did previously. All I ask is that they are noticably from the same set as to make the swapping easier as there'll be a huge number of ATCs flying around:

So if you want to join in, let me know and I'll add you to the list. As I made a note of who'd be joining in as I went along to see if there was enough interest, I've left that list in the sidebar and will change names to orange when they arrive. If you are new to the swap or just want more information, email me at the address at the top of the sidebar. Thank you.

So without any more garbble form me, here are the swaps for last month:
