i'm a little confused how swaps work still. Will you tell us who to send our swap to and if not, how do I know who to send it to? Sorry for the most likely really dumb questions but i'm brand new and still trying to get the hang of things around here. :)

I just joined but I am not sure what to do - what do I do next?

And is a #10 envelope just a regular sized envelope? Or a business size one? Or something else?

I have seen Artist Trading cards, but have no idea what a blank one is- if I am just too new for this its okay to kick me out - I will understand. I would like to try!

A #10 envelope is 4-1/8" x 9-1/2". It is the most common business envelope size and is commonly used for standard 8-1/2" x 11" sheets of paper.

I just googled it because I wasn't sure myself.

Happyhaylee3 - You wait until partners are assigned (probably June 9th because the 8th is the last day to sign up). Then look in the little yellow box on your right (that's where all your info is), you click on "See the partners you Send to" for the address of your partner. Once you have dropped your package into the mail, you click on "Click here when you have sent your items". When you get your items in the mail you click on "Rate your partners and coordinator" and rate accordingly.

Kimmer - A #10 size envelope is a business envelope. And I believe what the coordinator means by a blank ATC is paper (probably cardstock and pretty:D) that is already cut to the correct dimensions.

Do I have to use a #10 envelope or can I use something bigger?

MissChrissie 06/ 9/2010 #

I always use the size 0 flats that are waterproof. I would rather spend a little extra to make sure that the items are not ruined. They are not much bigger than the size 10 envelopes.

MissChrissie 06/ 9/2010 #

I hope the larger envelope is ok too.

Any Envelepoe is fine. I used that one b/c some ppl try to watch their postage. Also if anyone has any question needing answered right away you can send me a PM anytime. I will answer it as fast as possible. I run my own business so I am on the internet most of the day.
