Make a card for each of the members of your group in their chosen theme, and receive 4 cards
of your chosen theme in return.

of each card.
All mediums are welcome unless a medium is specified for the group, just avoid heavy and
bulky embellishments!
Each member can sign up for a maximum of 2 groups so that more people will be able to
participate. no dropouts will be permitted as people often start making PAT cards immediately.
If your cards are not sent, I will be forced to leave negative feedback. So think carefully as to
how many groups you can commit yourself to!
I will cover postage for International Players. I will provide the envelopes and labels, please
ensure that your name, username, and address are written clearly on the envelope or a

As this is a swap where you make cards for each person please ensure you DO NOT overcommit
yourself. Once sign ups are complete you CAN NOT withdraw from the swap. If you have any

[seekingforart]

I am here! My cards are almost done!

[kimaoverstreet]

Hooray, Seekingforart! I can't wait to see them:)

[Cazfun]

Hi Kim

Just checking in here to say I'm here and will send my cards out when they are done.

Cheers

Caz

[kimaoverstreet]

Thanks, Caz! Love the avatar!

[stormarela]

Here I am, almost finished the cards, but not quite...

[miss]

Just checking in! :)

Kim, the "received" next to my name has melted into the URL I provided for my theme, making it an error message...

[kimaoverstreet]

Thanks for checking in stormarela and miss! Miss, I think I got the URL merge problem fixed - I used adobe acrobat pro to save all of the swap posts and description, and cut and pasted it from there - some things seemed to have come across kind of weird - let me know if you find anything else!

[midnitecreations]

I'm here too. Working on my cards, not quite ready to send them in.

[blueskysunburn]

Just checking in! I plan on working on my last cards this weekend. Thanks for the date extension!

[barbcards]

I'm here! Anyfaerie's card (Group 2) is in my gallery. Still woring on Spongebob for Isisjean!

[amyfaerie]

Any sign of my cards yet? I'm starting to get worried now!!:eek:

[blueskysunburn]

Here is my mother and son for midnitecreations in group 4. I hope you like it! Off to work on my angel now!

Mother and Child (http://www.atcsforall.com/forum/gallery/index.php?n=3387)

[kimaoverstreet]

That is a beautiful card, BSSB!
I still haven't gotten your cards, jankensan.
I did get Barbcards beautiful layered collage cards this weekend.

[kimaoverstreet]

Today's mail contained awesome cards from stormarela and chimaera.muse - a good mail day, I'd say!

[Cazfun]

My cards are all complete and uploaded to my gallery. They will be postal tomorrow

http://www.atcsforall.com/forum/gallery/index.php?u=273

[kimaoverstreet]

Those are gorgeous, Cazfun! I can't wait to see them in person.

[kimaoverstreet]

I received lovely cards today from Paperfairys (thank you for the beautiful beads).

[blueskysunburn]

Here is my last card for Purplecat. I hope you like it! I had to redo it about four times! The shading doesn't show up too well in the scan.

My cards will be in the mail tomorrow morning!

Angel for Purplecat (http://www.atcsforall.com/forum/gallery/index.php?n=4792)

[midnitecreations]

My cards are ready to mail. Could I please have your addy again. I'll upload them tomorrow for everyone to see.

[jankensan]

OK, it's not possible for two sets to go missing in the post, right?! lol! :eek: Did the second set arrive yet....? If there was a nervous giggle smiley, I'd probably use it now!

[kimaoverstreet]

Jane, no cards came in Saturday's mail, and mail doesn't come on Sunday- I think international post is just being slow!

[BigKay]

I mailed the cards for both of my groups on Saturday. (I finally finished!) They're all in my gallery. Let me know when they get there. yey!

[blueskysunburn]

I mailed mine out priority this morning. It took forever for my cards to get to topacelot for my last pat. Didn't want to take a chance of them being late!

[seekingforart]

I mailed mine today priority mail also!

[midnitecreations]

Mine were sent priority mail too. Here's a sneak at what was sent. (some of the watercolors look a bit washed out on my screen, but IRL they aren't)

[seekingforart]

midnite... I love wonder woman she is my fav!

[midnitecreations]

Thanks seekingforart. I love her too. I really had a hard time parting with her.

[blueskysunburn]

I love my wonder woman card midnite!! I can't wait to see it in person!

[midnitecreations]

Glad you like her blueskysunburn. Loved drawing her.

[kimaoverstreet]

Cazfun's beautiful and fun cards arrived in yesterday's mail. Thank you so much for including a hostess card - i LOVE it!

[kimaoverstreet]

I got awesome cards in today's mail from Blueskysunburn and BigKay - beautiful work, ladies!

[ScramperSue]

I sent Kim a PM.
My recovery from my knee replacement is going much slower and harder than I thought:eek:. I am wiped out and am spending more time out of the "world" than in it:sleep:. I am a few days behind:unsure:. I apologize. These are going postal Saturday Morning--PRIORITY. I thank you all in Advance for your understanding and patience.

[kimaoverstreet]

kandm17's fun cards arrived safely today. I will start sending complete groups out in tomorrow's mail, the rest should be out soon!

[blueskysunburn]

Ah, bummer. Mine is one of the incomplete groups. :sad:

[kimaoverstreet]

Yesterday's mail had cards from isisjean, midnite creations, and seekingforart (All wonderful, of course)! ScramperSue's and topacealot's are in the mail. The groups I have all of the cards for are ready to be mailed Monday, the rest will go out ASAP!

[jankensan]

Apologies to those in my group. I mailed the first set out over 3 weeks ago and they have gone astray in the post somewhere. I re-did the cards and sent the second set out about 10 days ago. I really hope they reach their destination this time! In the meantime, please accept my apologies!:notworthy:

[kimaoverstreet]

Topacelot's cards arrived today. Jankensan - Surely yours will get here soon - lightening can't strike twice in the same place, right?
Group 4 is postal, 3 will go out in tomorrow's mail!

[jankensan]

I really hope they get there! I just can't believe it if they go astray again! Maybe they are held up in customs or something...

[ScramperSue]

Kim, did my cards arrive? they really should have by today.

[jankensan]

Well some cards I sent out 3 days after these have arrived at their destination, so now I am worried again :wideeyed: Don't know what to do....

[kimaoverstreet]

I just got back from a fun mini-trip outlet mall shopping in Branson, and Scramper Sue's wonderful cards were waiting when I got home. I will swap out groups 2 and 5 today, they'll go postal tomorrow. If jankensan's cards don't make it today, I will go ahead and swap out group 1 tomorrow.

[blueskysunburn]

Received my returns today from group 4! They are just wonderful! Thank you everyone and a big thank you to Kim for hosting. Off to leave trader ratings!

[kimaoverstreet]

The rest of the groups went out today. I returned cards made for Jankensan, so group 1 players can trade personally with her later. The quality of the work for this swap was SO impressive!

[kimaoverstreet]

Quite frustratingly, when the postwoman took the remainder of my swap returns, she deposited Jankensan's cards, which finally arrived. I will send them back to her, then she can trade individually with Group 1 members.

[midnitecreations]

I received my cards from group #4. wow. I love all my cards! Kim, thanks for hosting. I'll be leaving itrader ratings next.

[miss]

Received mine today-- I think this is my favorite PAT yet! :)

[ScramperSue]

Rec'd my beauties today!!! thanks everyone :)

[topacelot]

I received the coolest and cutest bats! Thanks to Kim, lemurkat, Paperfairies and Chimera. Hopefully I'll get to see jankensan's too :)

[kimaoverstreet]

I'm so glad the beautiful cards for this swap are arriving at their destinations! Thanks so much for checking in so I can know they made it safely!
