Sign Up/ Withdraw Date: 10th December 2018
Number of Cards: 3 for 3
Number of Participants: No Limit


ATCs For All has members from all over the globe. I always wonder about where the cards I mail will find themselves. It would be great to picture your home towns and the regions where you live.

What do you associate with your home town? Is there a building that you love, a famous person, a landmark or even a local dish? What about a local breed of animal? Maybe your own home is most special to you. I would love to know.

As this is an open swap, any medium is fine. I love hand drawn and painted but not everyone is confident in their drawing skills so collage is OK too, providing it has your spin on it.

Illustrate your wish in any way that suits you - hand drawn, collage, paper painting, whatever you prefer.

Swap Rules

- All cards should be 2.5” x 3.5”.
- All cards should be sent in individual plastic sleeves for protection.
- Cards must be sent at least two weeks before the due date. I am in France, so this is how long it may take for international mail to arrive. Late cards will be returned at your expense.
- If you need to withdraw, that is completely fine, just let me know.
- No cards and no communication may result in neutral iTrader.
- Keep cards as flat as possible to protect them.


Postage (France)
Please include a large address label and stamps to the value your cards took to mail to me. I will provide envelopes.


Postage (International)
Please include a large address label and $2 US cash or one Global Forever Stamp. Alternatively, I can accept PayPal although I'm hoping to obtain dollars for future swaps! I will provide envelopes.


Other Info
Please message me for my address when you are ready to mail and post to the thread when you send your cards. If you already have my address, it has not changed.

When you receive your returns, please leave iTrader for me and rep points for the artists.

Please ask if you have any questions. It’s better to clarify now than have your cards sent back because they don’t meet the requirements.

Oh my... There is one iconic thing that I think of from my hometown. I think I can do it in different seasons and make it work. Please sign me up! Thanks
 
Delighted to add you to the list, pouring diva and prex79.

Coyotes, cacti & scorpions are perfect, CQ5. They are very exotic to me!
 
I walk my dogs at night, due to the heat in the summer. So after dark. Two houses north of me lives, Dave and Annette, and they have a big cactus in their front yard. This one was blooming at night, mainly for the bats to get nectar. I took a photo. So this is OCT not the summer. In fact most things are scorched in the summer.

I have a photo so you can see how large this cactus is and a few of the blooms. It closes during the day.
 
Wow, Heather! Those cacti are so beautiful! We have had an exceptionally dry summer here and so far autumn is still warm. I saw a dragonfly today which is lte to see. But every year cranes fly over our region on their migration to Africa. It is an indication that winter is coming (not Game of thrones!!). I saw them the other day - actually you hear them long before you see them. They fly in a long V formation.
 
No, definitely cranes. We get geese flying over too, but the cranes are special.
