"A" ATC Swap...EDITED

Launch gallery slideshow

Swap Coordinator:bjohnston67 (contact)
Swap categories: Artist Trading Card (ATC) 
Number of people in swap:61
Location:International
Type:Type 2: Flat mail
Last day to signup/drop:December 1, 2009

Number of swap partners:1
Description:

I plan on doing a series of these swaps with the alphabet. I will post another every week. So if you decide to join all 26 swaps, you will have 26 new ATCs.

This is a real simple ATC swap.

You will have 1 partner and you will sent them 1 ATC .

The main requirement is that your ATC must be about something that starts with the letter "A". Some examples would be ....apple, ape, acorn, airplane, apron, April, animal, art, angel,Alabama, etc. You choose, as long as the theme is about something that starts with the letter "A".

You can use any media you wish. Please don't just put a sticker on it and call it done. Stickers are fine, as long as you do something to go with it.

Must be standard size ( 2.5" X 3.5" ) and sturdy.

Please make sure you put your info on the back of the ATC. Also, please note on the back of the ATC what your "A" is.

I think that covers it all for the ATC. Any questions, please PM me or make a comment.

Anyone may join this swap as long as you have no 1 or 3 ratings in the last 3 months. Newbies, must have a filled in profile, not just a few lines.

If you have only 1 or 2 lower ratings and would like to join this swap, please PM me about your lower ratings with an explaination and I will look closely at your profile and get back to you about joining the swap.

To me the hardest part of hosting a swap is having to ban swappers, I really hate that part. But I will ban anyone who has lower ratings and does not contact me about them and get my ok to join the swap. I only do this so as to protect the swappers that are involved in the swap, I do not do this to be mean. I really hate flakers and don't like to see anyone not get their swap that they signed up for.

I reserve the right to ban any swapper that I feel iffy about.

I will give a two week sign up time and a month to get your ATC sent out to your partner. That should give everyone plenty of time.

EDITED 11/17:

Changed to international.

Changed send by date. So it will be two weeks to sign up and two weeks to send.

I would welcome any comments on this swap you might wish to share. This is my first ATC swap. Do you think the number of partners should be increased in future swaps, say to 2?

Chaigna 11/16/2009 #

if it was international i totally would be participating but i cant T-T

bjohnston67 11/16/2009 #

Can I get your comments on :

Should I change this to international?

The time frame for listing the next swap?

How about....would you prefer I list more than one letter at a time?

After we get through the holiday, should I cut down the send by date to 2 weeks instead of a month?

Any comments are welcome. I really want your opinions on these things. I would like to make this a good swap for everyone.

Thank you!

I think listing the swap one week apart is good as well as listing just one letter at a time. Although I'd change the send by date to a shorter period of time, just so it doesn't get pushed to the back of people's mind... Looking forward to this:)

Yup way shorter on the send time-keep it USA and Canada-if someone is interested in f=doing this set they can start now and keep working-its not partner specific I think post one weel make the send date the day before you post the next 2 weeks later-I will do this swap but my cards will be done by the time in send the first one for the whole series---great idea I love alphabets

bjohnston67 11/16/2009 #

Thank you moravanka and rick1949 for your input! I greatly appreciate it!

I agree with both of you as far as a shorter send date.

Do you all think I should change the date on this one or leave it as is, since we have the holiday coming up?

Chaigna 11/17/2009 #

yaiiii :D i join thanks thanks

Chaigna 11/17/2009 #

i think 2 weeks is ok :) and should do more than one letter at a time maybe 2 or 3 ask other people :)

samjowers 11/23/2009 #

One a week would be good. keeps the ball going and the mail coming in! :D Since we already know that we are participating, you could already set up all 26 of them and you could get a better idea about the number who wish to participat. BTW, Doesnt unicorn start with a "U"????

bjohnston67 11/23/2009 #

LOL! I wasn't thinking about that, just put something up that I liked....LOL.

Snason 11/28/2009 #

I don't think the partners should be more then one, I don't think I want 2 whole alphabets.

bjohnston67 11/29/2009 #

Thank you all for joining!

Did you see we are in the top 10!

Emeraldcharm14 11/30/2009 #

i was wondering if your new swap should allow time to see if there are any "flakers" in the same group, but its just a thought. Looking forward to participating.

bjohnston67 11/30/2009 #

Thank you for the comment emeraldcharm.... fingers crossed .... we won't have any flakers..... but I will angel any one who is flaked on and add flakers to any and all flaker lists that I can find on Swapbot. I truly hope that I don't have to do that!

Emeraldcharm14 12/ 2/2009 #

i can help with angeling if you need help and my fingers are crossed there will be none at all.

bjohnston67 12/ 2/2009 #

PMd you Emeraldcharm.

Thanks for the offer!

Rachel your card is on the way. It should take about a week to get there. I forgot to put my user name ILoveMVY. ([email protected]). Susan Stokinger

This is my first atc swap (sorry to the person who gets me...) should the letter be on the front of the atc or is that the artist preference? Or is it corny (as in...dont put it on the front!) that I even thought to ask that? Thanks!!!

aguasulis 12/ 6/2009 #

My card is officially done and will be on it's way to Ashley in Alabama tomorrow or Tuesday. I think the best part was thinking of all the possibilities. I thought of some pretty crazy A words, like Anxiety and Acid. I want Ashley to be surprised at the result so I won't disclose my final choice here.

Thanks so much for allowing me to participate given that this is my first swap. ~ Michele

bjohnston67 12/10/2009 #

michelle....sorry it took me so long to get back to your question.... it is up to you weather the A is on the front or back of the ATC..... just as long as it is there somewhere.

Auash08 12/12/2009 #

aguasulis- got the ATC- its AWESOME! thanks so much!!!! I love it:) I will be sending mine out either today or Mon....things are kinda crazy around here with baby and finals!!!

michellerobin1979 12/13/2009 #

One last quick question, I just addressed my envelope to send out my card...I am glad I double checked here. The person I am sending my card to is not the same person who sent me my card, is that correct??? Thanks for answering so I can get this in the mail.
