I need some more ATCs!!! Unthemed. US only.

Why so hard on newbies? I am very reliable & have been selling handmade items on eBay for at least 8 years. Could you possibly check my feedback & allow me to join? Thanks, Janis

I'm not 'hard' on newbies at all. 99.9% of my swaps are always newbie friendly, including the partner to this swap, which is located right here

if i can get 10 swaps rated im in! if not catch ya next time :)

OMG!!! I'm such a bone head!!! I thought I had to make 5 cards for 5 partners!!!! Looks like I have more time for more swaps!!! WOOT-WOOT!!!!

Thank you for thinking of us Diane!

just curious? no newbies...that should be against the rules! (J/k) but my feelings are a tad bothered. please make me feel better.. i just got here and that is what i see>>>:( oh wells!

As I mentioned before, I had a swap identical to this one, that was for everyone. Newbies Included. This one is for people that can join and feel relaxed knowing they're likely going to receive their items because a person has made good at least 10 times (and many over 100).

As a newbie, you should be building your profile and dipping your feet into newbie swaps until you have a proven track record, as we all had to do once upon a time. This isn't unfair nor against the rules. I wish you nothing but good luck.

Very well said VivaLaDiane.

UGH. There should be a "no whining" swap. THANK you Viva for sticking to your guns!

Thanks guys. I am LUCKILY almost done with public swaps. The swaps in my group are taking over my brain.

I shall always stick to my guns and hope I inspire at least one person to do the same. I use to be such a sucker and would've given into the above, but hey, I'm the host...so it's my way or the highway. I am firm to the point of stubborn, but I'm fair. Love me, or hate me.

We were all newbies once. I missed a few swaps starting out too but somehow I survived. Just jump through the couple of (reasonable) hoops swap-bot has in place, get a few ratings, then have at it. It's all good! Thanks VivaLaDiane for hosting this swap.
