Description:

Do you proofread your email for punctuation before you send it? Does it get on your nerves when people write "your" when they mean "you're"? Have you ever wanted to correct a shop sign offering to sell you "BOOK'S" or "LEMON'S"? Did you love Lynne TrussÒ€ℒs book Eats, Shoots and Leaves? (Do you appreciate that, in spite of the awkwardness of three consecutive S's, I wrote the correct form: "Truss's"?) Do you like the panda joke? (Or, if you haven't heard the panda joke, do you think you could like a joke about a gun-toting panda and a misplaced comma?)

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you're probably a punctuation stickler, and this is the ATC swap for you. We will be making ATCs on the theme of punctuation. They can be in any medium, and I encourage you to interpret the theme any way you want. You might use a large punctuation mark as the focus of your creations. You might use your cards to share your favorite punctuation rules. You might make a card based on a smiley, which is a form of punctuation art. :-) (You might even include a panda.) Anything punctuation-related goes. Have fun with this one.

We will be making 2 cards each for 2 partners--4 cards total.

International. 4.5 rating or higher. Open to newbies with filled-out profile, and even to non-sticklers with a sense of humor.

(If you spot any punctuation errors in this swap description, please let me know.)

Oh, I love this, but I don't love ATCs. :P Maybe I'll steal the idea for some other kind of swap. ;) Do any of you own this shirt ? :)

I can't believe I almost missed seeing this swap! I love punctuation. (The note on my profile about the Oxford comma pre-dates seeing this swap.)
