Are There Any ATC Swaps...

I one day went looking to see if I

could find another ATC swap.

Where could I look to find

such a thing. 

Yes, there is a place to find

most any kind of blog.

The Blog Guidebook,

there you will find blogs

listed by categories.

This blog will be listed in

the Mixed Media category.

The Blog Guidebook has

all types of resources.

Help for beginning bloggers,

you can list your giveaways

there and there is a place to

post your Link party.

The best part of all, is

you can list your blog for free!

What is even better, until

August 30th, you can list your

blog and they will add your

blog button free as well.

(The usual cost for adding a

blog button is $20.)

Visit their website for the details

but, don't delay this offer is only

good through 5:00 p.m.  pst August 30th.

Love  to all,

Debbie

I've Recieved Some Great ATCs, Now What? A Contest!

We have been swapping for a couple of months.

We have received some beautiful little

works of art.

What do you do with all these

masterpieces?

We are having a contest,

a contest we can all benefit from.

We would like for you to create

something to hold your ATCs

or to display your ATCs in.

Wendy recently created this

ATC holder from a cigar box.

She discovered that her ATCs fit beautifully

in the cigar box, so inspiration hit!

Now she has a perfect place for all the ATCs

she will collect.

I am showing you Wendy's creation,

so inspiration can strike you!

For the Contest,

create a box,

a holder,

a display frame,

what ever.

You may use any materials you like.

Send us a photo of your project,

before September 20th, 2010.

We will post all the photos,

then  the fun will begin.

We will have voting for the

best project.

You can have your friends vote,

your followers,

anyone you can get to vote!

The project that is voted

on most will win!

Wendy and I are still

coming up with the prizes.

(We are thinking supplies you can

use for your ATCs and

other lovely things!)

As soon as we agree on the

prizes, we will post those.

We just wanted to post this now,

to get those creative juices flowing.

We will keep the responses and votes

hidden, until after all voting is complete and

a winner is chosen.

Or, would you like them posted so you can

see where you stand and how much bribing

you may need to do?

Leave us a comment

on how you feel about this. 

The Winner

If the winner would like,

you can do a guest post

on how you  created the winning entry,

Or send us photos on the work in progress

and we will do the post for you.

You may also choose to be mysterious

and keep your techniques a secret.

It is all up to you.

Now put your thinking caps on and get busy!

Love to all,

Debbie

The Swaps Are Being Posted!

I  have seen some great ATCs!  If you would like to view the swapped ATCs, click on each of the July participants names and you will be taken to their blog.  As each participant receives their ATC, they will post a photo.  In some cases you will also see the ATC they sent out.  Some of us were finishing the ATC, as we were licking the envelope, so we may not have taken a photo of the one we sent.  Next month I am starting earlier.  I always say I work better under pressure. It's not too late to join us for next months swap.  We will match up partners the 1st of August.  The theme for August is orange.  When ever I think of orange, I think of the old knock, knock, joke that has the punch line, " Now orange you glad I didn't say orange again!"  How can I work that into an ATC?  Send out date is August 15th for the August swap.  We have had many new people join and we are thankful you take the time to participate.
Love to all,
Debbie
