It’s time to Swap! We’re swapping ATCs with a spring theme. Bunnies, eggs, baskets, flowers, babies, new life. Whatever you think of with spring.

Many thanks to Sandra for creating the swap badge!! Please download the badge and display it on your blog or website. Link back to this post so others can join in!! http://catscradlecreations.com/blog/2010/02/21/spring-atc-swap/

Sign up at swaps[at]catscradlecreations[dot]com starting Feb. 25 through Mar. 4. We will be swapping in groups of 3 or 4, depending on how many people sign up. I will assign your groups based on geographic location and preferences provided in the sign-up info.

* Please put “Spring ATC Swap” in the subject line so your info will not get caught by the Spambot! *

Swap packages should be sent No Later Than April 1. This gives you 4 weeks after sign-ups to make your cards. Please wait until you receive your swap group’s preferences before making your cards! I will e-mail your groups on Mar. 5 so you have plenty of time.

Pictures!! Please e-mail me a picture of your ATC so I can post them on the website. Deadline for images is March 30. Please let me know when you have sent and received your swaps so I can update.

This is not a secret swap. You will know who you are swapping with.

***Grouping means each person will make 3 or 4 ATCs and will receive the same number.***

When e-mailing your interest, I need the following information:
* first and last name
* website (if any)
* snail mail address including country
* anything you’d rather not receive in the swap
* whether or not you are willing to ship internationally

Please keep in mind that this is meant to swap art between yourself and other artists. Have fun and make new friends!!

I’m so excited to be working with Sandra to bring you a Spring ATC swap! Sandra is helping promote the swap, and I’ll be hosting it.

All are invited to play! Stay tuned for more details including themes, sign-ups and deadlines.

Apologies to all who have tried to comment lately but couldn’t due to the “log in” issue. I have changed the settings and you should be able to leave comments as you please. Keep in mind that I am still moderating them, so it will be a day or two before your comment shows.

Thanks for reading my sporadic thoughts….

I’ve recently come across a wonderful blog called Necessary Room and the author, Se’Lah, is hosting a Secret Postcard exchange. I was just in time to sign up for this. She calls it the *Gift of Jewels* and you can read more about what we are doing here.

I have received my intended’s address and will be creating a special jewel for him/her and mailing it this weekend. I’m not allowed to tell you who’s getting this jewel, just in case he/she is reading this. I’ll post when I receive my jewel and from whom it was sent.

I love Secret Pal stuff, and love meeting new people. This fits in both.

Please take some time and check out the participants. You’ll be glad you did. *Gift of Jewels* Roll Call
