Mailing Cards - Please include username and swap name on all envelopes sent in.

* International participants – Please keep in mind it can take up to two weeks for me to receive international mail. I will cover your postage, return address label and return envelope. Please pm your address when you pm for mine.

* US Participants – Please include a (clearly written!) self addressed envelope with username and name of swap written on the back. 58 cents minimum LOOSE postage is required but unused postage will be returned!
* Please do not send bubble envelopes for returns!!!

Please PM for my address when you are ready to send your cards or if you already have my address post to the thread.


Fine Print - All cards are due in my hands by the due date. As this is a Pick-A-Theme swap I will be forced to leave NEGATIVE trader ratings for late cards or no shows! I will send one reminder PM (two weeks out for international, one week for local) and will update the thread when I receive your cards. Please allow 48 hours for trader ratings. The photo pool will be updated periodically (as time permits) throughout the swap.

Thank you for participating in the swap! I look forward to seeing everyone’s artwork!
As always, an extra card would be appreciated but is never required

Join?

I would like to do the easy/generic theme (collage).

I've never done a swap lke this before. Do we pick a theme after other players sign up?

I would join another, but I better start out with one. :D
 
Welcome to the swap lady landa. You can pick your theme now if you'd like. I just haven't decided on mine. :D

Just let me know once you decide.
 
Can I go in group 5 with Vintage geishas if anyone needs any image let me know an I can give a link

Thanks
 
Ok, chardonnay, cazfun, marlien, purplecat and pschafe1 I have you all down.

Pschafe1 - your trader rating shows up if you click on the link on the right side of your post. I think it takes some peoples a couple days to actually show in that location for some reason.
 
Bluesky, I would love to join group #3 with a theme of "Anything Medieval" castles, knights, damsels in distress anything goes. Pwweease!
