Continuous Random Round Robins - 14

[xstitcher]

If you think 3 heads are better than one when it comes to making ATCs this is the place for you.

We are a fun group of ATC makers who like to spread the making of ATCs around to more than one person.

Here is how to get started……………..

First you sign up in the thread and tell us what themes you do not want so I can add your name to the list in the 1st post.

Next you PM your mailing address and any dislikes to me so I can add it to the address list. I will update this list as players come and go or change their status.

If you wish to take a break from playing at any time all you need to do is post in the thread if you want to let everyone one know and send me a pm so I can make it official by changing the list. I will move you to the HOMERS ONLY section of the address list until you ask me to change it. This way you will still get any you have started that have been completed by others but you should not get any new ones. If you do get new ones, please let me know in a pm.

To keep cards from being sent to inactive players I will move you to the HOMERS ONLY section of the address list if you have been inactive on the site for a month. Once you become active again you can pm me and ask to be placed back into active status.

And here is how a Round Robin works…………

Player 1 starts it off by starting 3 cards. These cards need to be more than a preprinted background. Please put something on them. On the back please put ATCS FOR ALL RANDOM ROUND ROBIN or AFA RANDOM RR at the top (so we know where it came from as there are 2 round robin groups) along with at least your user name. Mail all 3 cards to Player 2.

Player 2 will work on the cards. Add at least your user name to the back. Mail all 3 cards to Player 3.

Player 3 will finish the cards. Add at least your user name to the back. Keep 1 card and mail the other 2 back to Player 1. It is OK to detour from this way to mail back if you feel it helps the other players! Unless you know for sure it is ok you should ask player 1 what they want you to do

Player 1 will keep 1 card and mail the other one to Player 2.

VERY IMPORTANT ~ Please remember to look at the most current list before sending cards to anyone to make sure they are still playing.

EQUALLY IMPORTANT ~ Please check what cards a player DOES NOT WANT. Do not send unwanted themes to anyone as they must pay to send them on to someone else .

If you get a set of cards and you have no idea what to do with them, just send them on to someone else.

Feel free to post eye candy whenever you want. Part of the fun of being in a Round Robin is seeing who is doing what. You can post them when you get them before you add anything, after you have added something or when you get a completed set. If you don't have a scanner or are not sure how to post them it is ok. Posting is not a requirement to join and have fun. There are no Round Robin Police sent to visit if you don't!

And you never have to say who you are sending to unless you want to.

And last but not least…………

iTraders: They are fun to give and fun to get so please remember them. Once you have a completed card you can give them to both the other players. When giving them you are the trade.

Hi guys. I just received my list of players. I'm not sure what "dissimilar" means in this case. Can someone help me? thanks

Dissimilar cards are 3 cards that are all different.

Most RR cards used to start the same and everyone added the same things.

Now some players just send 3 random cards for other to work on. Since there those of us who want all the cards the same I added that to the list.

Hope this helps. Maybe someone else can add to this

[xstitcher]

We just completed another 1000 posts. That means we have posted at least 13,000 times!

I can't believe I started doing this in May of 2012! We have seen lots of changes with both the way we do things and players coming and going.

Hope we can keep it us for another 10+ years!

I've been out of trading for a long time... where does the list of "themes you do not want" show to other players?

[lindagiese]

Finished up my cards and happily along came an overstuffed envelope from heymaggie! Thanks!

It shows up on the list of players names and addresses.

It shows up on the list of players names and addresses.

If joined, does each player have access to the list (with notations)?

[Allegrae]

Once you join, xstitcher will send you the list of active players (as well as inactive--taking a break) with addresses and preferences noted.

I wanted to share this photo of a budding new artist in the family. This is my 15 month old great grandson Lucius coloring on a box of art supplies…my round robin box. AND! I have a new one born on 2-12-23. His name is Auden and he’s a little bitty thing.

Finished this set off, as well as working on a handful of second rounders. Sending a few envelopes out next week, and (very) gradually working through my backlog. Can't believe we have a 14th thread!

[heymaggie]

Here’s a sneak peek at some new sets I made on Friday and Saturday. They are going out on Monday.

These are not stickers although the tulips look like they are. I colored these with glaze gel pens and colored pencils and then fussy cut them out. They are from ROOMS OF WONDER, a coloring book by Johanna Basford.

[mrubyjean]

Finished the sets I have right now.
The top row is a dissimilar set and the bottom row are three homers from simila sets.

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome. I have loved receiving cards to work on and I've even started a couple sets myself. Is the address and preference list something that was sent to my in box? I might have accidentally deleted it. If someone can help me, I promise I won't do it again. LOL
