Ooh endless possibilities there Ali.

Count me in Ali

[Dawn]

[Deborah Lauder]

Count me in Ali

Becky will have opened Popcorn by then :D :D :D so I shouldn't be short of any inspiration.

Can't wait to see what's on there lol How good am I see - not even peeked!

[deecymac]

Hi Ali
Count me in also, although be warned i have never done these before.
Just ordered some sleeves from ebay

[Deborah Lauder]

:D Ali will be pleased Denise.

Don't worry - you soon get the hang of them, I've only ever done 3 of these swaps (got my first slightly wrong, but hey, everyone was soooo sweet ) - realised in the end it's just like miniature card making :D

[Bo Peep]

Hoping to take part if I can.

[Tina]

will be in on this one, in fact might make a start this afternoon

[deecymac]

Hi Ali, all done and will get them in the post asap.
Do i get a gold star?
Maybe not once you see them, hope they are ok - i'm pleased with them.

[Ali]

Brilliant to see lots of takers for the swap this month.....:)

Well done DENISE, your first ATCs AND first to get them done.....here's your gold star! ;) http://dl7.glitter-graphics.net/pub/842/842067jcakchkadr.gif (http://www.glitter-graphics.com)

Got mine done today too, but I don't qualify for gold stars as I'm hosting!! :p

[Deborah Lauder]

Count Becky in too please Ali :D

[Deborah Lauder]

Mine are done Ali :cool: Whether they quite meet ATC requirements I'm sure you'll let me know when you get them lol

Becky's got one of hers done, so as soon as she's finished, which should be tomorrow, we'll get them posted off to you. ;)

[Ali]

Your ATCs are always FANTASTIC Debbie! :D Bet Becky's having fun with those Popcorn CD Roms! ;)

[Deborah Lauder]

I am the teddy 'bearer' of bad news I'm afraid :mad:

Becky has not been able to find the time to finish her ATC's so I must ask you nicely if you could rub her name out please for this month.

On a happier note, as she did manage to get one done, so she is sending that off as a RAK to you Ali - so you should receive that and my swaps shortly. I'll get them in the post to you tomorrow. ;)

[Ali]

Ah, don't worry Debbie, its not a problem. ;) That's really sweet of her to send me the one she HAS made....(I feel very honoured. ;)) I will make her a special one to send back too. ;) ;):D :D http://dl7.glitter-graphics.net/pub/1533/1533457f7obzzim6m.gif (http://www.glitter-graphics.com) Please don't go out in this weather unnecessarily to post them Debbie.....I am sure we can all wait a while til the weather eases.....the same applies for everyone; I'm sure we all agree that the dates are a moveable feast in the circumstances......?

[Deborah Lauder]

Thanks Ali, but I must go and get essentials for the food cupboard and the postbox is right next door. But yes, I totally agree, definitely a moveable date if need be.

[Dawn]

Not got mine done yet, still looking for inspiration!:eek::eek: Will get them done and posted in time,:) but certainly won't mind waiting if people want to participate but can't get out!;);)

[Ali]

No probs Dawn, I've only got Denises and mine so far, but as we said, I'm sure we are all happy to wait. :D http://dl3.glitter-graphics.net/pub/528/528423edd8jsvfel.gif (http://www.glitter-graphics.com)

[Tina]

posted mine a few days ago but might take longer than usual to get to you with the bad weather!!!

[Ali]

Thanks Tina, will of course let people know when they arrive. :) We have only had alternate days deliveries of late, whereas normally we have post everyday, so I am sure they are all snuggled down keeping warm in a sack waiting to be delivered!! ;):p

[Ali]

Just a quick post to let some of you know the postie brought lots of ATCs for the swap this morning! :D

I received: Tina's, Jean's & Debbie's today, thanks guys, (all fab by the way! ;))http://dl2.glitter-graphics.net/pub/469/469672fxonm3f2tl.gif (http://www.glitter-graphics.com)

[marian tidey]

How can I join in with this? It sounds like fun :) I am loving this website by the way,
Marian :)

[marian tidey]

Sorry Ali just read the first post... only 4 days left, probably haven't got enough time to get mine to you being that the snow has slowed the post CONF

[marian tidey]

I really should read all the post before I talk!! Is it extended? Can I join in? If so where do I send them to? :D:D

[Ali]

Hi Marian, welcome to the CMD family! So glad you're enjoying Sammy's site, its fab isn't it! ;) I am sure the others wouldn't mind waiting a couple of days if you wanted to join in......the post seems to be getting back to 'normal' so it shouldn't be that long to wait......

I'll send you a PM with my address, then you make 3 ATCs (this month's theme is Teddy Bears) and send them, along with a SAE (large letter stamp as the ATCs are often decoupaged so too thick for standard stamp) to me. I'll then share them out so everyone receives 3 different ATCs from 3 different people. :)

We do the swap every month, so you are very welcome to join us whenever you want to (but you don't have to commit to every swap....just as n when you want/are able to.) :)

Just let me know if you are going to join this month, and I'll hold off sending them out til I've got yours. :D

[marian tidey]

Yes please count me in Ali, Just spent the evening making my 3 :D I will post tomorrow. I have been card making and scrapbooking for a while now but these are the first ATC's I've made or received. I'm really looking forward to see what I get back too :D:D

[Ali]

Great! Welcome on board Marian. :D

[Ali]

Yay!! The postie brought more ATCs for the swap this morning! :D
Today, I received: Kris', Julies, Dawns & Normas.... thanks everyone, (once again, all different and all great!:D)http://dl2.glitter-graphics.net/pub/1089/1089382o4jrnqzuoo.gif (http://www.glitter-graphics.com)



Also, a special THANK YOU to Dawn for the little jump rings and charms. :D;)
