Description:

You've heard of sticker bags and label bags, let's try ATC bags!

If you already have an established one to pass along from the other swaps, that's great! If not, here's how to start one:

Take a small envie and write your name and address on one side of it. On the other side, write instructions such as "take out two ATCs and add three". You can choose to have the person take or add as many as you wish.

Have numbered lines for persons who have participated to sign on. You can choose how many lines you want to offer, just make sure your bag is large enough to hold that many ATCs when full.

Indicate that the last person to sign should send it home. You can include any other instructions, such as whether or not the ATCs should be made by the swapper or if you accept pass alongs.

Put your three (or however many you indicated) ATCs inside the envie. I usually start a new bag with a few extras to give the first recipient more from which to choose. This is your ATC bag.

Put the ATC bag (envie) inside another envie to mail to your swap partner.

You will receive a bag from your other partner. You will select ATCs to keep, and add additional ones to the bag. Hold onto the bag until another swap opportunity. Then you will send it along its way.

Any questions? Just post them below!

Has anyone ever gotten a bag back? I know I sent one back but I have had one out for almost a year.

I have a homer right now, so I guess the ATC bag I have will find its way back home very soon. :) Oh, and one year isn't really that long. I have had bags which are already 4-5 years old. Oh and many many decos/FBs from 2003-2004! o_O

I've received two ATC bags back already.

And how can I tell if the bag is already full and I am supposed to send it home?

@vick30200 .. I also sent one and never had one returned... same with many journals ... so even I like the concept , I pass...

I love the concept but not the idea of waiting a year or more!

shrugs I'm not worried about waiting. Someday I'll get a nifty surprise in my mailbox- and won't that be a fun day. Until then- out of sight out of mind.

Salome, there won't be any spaces left to sign after you sign if a bag is full.

ArtCrazy, plus, you do get to swap out some ATCs each time, so you add to your collection along the way.
