Date items must be sent by:	June 4, 2007
Number of swap partners:	1
Description:
Using a selection of materials, create an ATC. Send your partner the ATC plus the same materials you used to make the ATC. Once you receive your package, create your own ATC using only the materials sent to you by your partner. Send the ATC back to your partner. By the end of the swap you will have received 2 ATC's in total and seen how someone else can interperate your idea differently. You will need to make sure you include your return address in the package. Try to send your partner a technique they may not have tried, but this is not a requirement. To allow for postage the return datefor posting your ATC's back is July 2nd. International. Only swappers who have good ratings and are committed to the second part of this swap should join. Newbies welcome if you have a full profile with links. Other than that, happy swapping! Just a note to those who watch the list of people in the swap, I ban after the deadline to sign up as this stops then getting back in.

This sounds like a different twist on the usual swap. I hope everyone sticks to the spirit of swapping and does not abuse the system.

You cannot possibly know that I had this very same idea bouncing around inside my head! How could I not sign up?!

This sounds so interesting! Can't wait =)

Perhaps a bit late to be checking on finer details, but is it okay to "add" to the atc we send back with pens, pencils etc?

Cloverst 05/26/2007 #

You must use everything your partner sends. You mustn't add anything else in the way of ambellishments but you can add to it with mark makers such as pens and pencils yes, provided it is something you can be reasonably sure it is something most people will have.

Hi monkeycat, I put your package in the mail on Saturday. We'll see how long it takes to get to The Netherlands. Can't wait to see what you do.
