Is that a stamp in the sense of postage?

The first 7+1 Swap was so much fun! I am definitely in for Round 2.

Thanks for the invite - Im defintately in yay

I told my self no more swaps for a while and Raven comes along with this.... Not easy to turn down.....I'm in..

Yes I guess I should have said that it is a postage stamp..Please forgive me rubber stampers..

Thanks for the invite Raven. I was not going to sign up for any more swaps in October - but since it is Raven I just have to. Looking forward to it.

Haha, I was going to take a little break from swapping for a bit too but I've been persuaded to join as well! Sounds fun. Thanks for the invite, Raven!

Thanks for the invite Raven. Round one was a lot of fun, I'm in for round two.

Wow! Just when I think I've got my hands full with swaps, Raven comes up with another invitation. This sounds like fun, and since I was NOT in on the first, I'm going to give it my all. Thanks Raven

Thank you for the invitation. Sounds like fun!

Thanks for the invitation. I'm looking forward to it.

WOW Raven !!! Only a couple of days and you made it in to the top ten. Congradulations. You do run fun swaps!

Hey Raven... My daughter and I both signed up for this swap and just spent the evening making our very first ATC's! How fun! Now we are both excited and cannot wait to see who we get to send these to! Thanks for this swap!

Thanks for the invite Raven, really enjoyed the last one. I love seeing what everyone comes up with.

Hi there Raven, another great swap! My question is, as I am not musical: is a treble clef a "musical note". Maybe not strictly speaking... but is is so pretty to draw! Thanks, Maddy

Wow! We are in the top 10 already and there are still 2 weeks of sign-ups left to go!

ok...can the same item fit more than 1 category? let's say I have a postage stamp with something with wings & a flower....can I use that 1 item for all three categories?

I would love to join! this looks fun!! I just finished my 1st swap on here!! Jen butterfly_44056

Maddy I can't tell one music note from another so just anything that looks like it goes on a music sheet will work for me...

LMM The challenge part is to use a least 1 of each item listed for that category and then add what ever you want..Hope this does not make it too hard, but the challenge should be fun seeing just what that you can come up with.

Gee, I'm thrilled to be invited to join, but...have you seen my swap-bot user name LOL?! Talk about a challenge. Let me think if I can come up with anything for it...twice...

Not a problem Raven...I was just looking through my stash and noticed a few things that fit multiple categories.

Can I have more than 1 items for each of the category listed? Let's say I use 2-3 daisies for Flower category...

CherylCraftCabin Oh ya you can use as many of the items as you like as long as you use at least one of each..Sounds like you have a cool ideal in mind..

this sounds like lots of fun... are there pics from the first one anywhere?? and if I have a postage stamp with flowers on, does that count for both, or only 1 of the categories??

thanks!

now that I'm reading the comments again, I have another question... is item #1 my swapbot name "written out" or a pictorial representation of it (ie, a pic of a red cat)?? thanks again!

I hope it's OK to go either way. I know that there's a mountain range in France called "Mortaine" but other than that, there's no such thing as "a mortaine." Except, like, when referring to me.

Crimsoncat - I have a set in my Flickr photos from the first swap. http://www.flickr.com/photos/telltaleheart/1077089914/in/set-72157594421385593/

Mortaine - Whenever I see your name I always think of this: http://www.londontown.com/LondonStreets/mortaineroada40.html

crimsoncat05 The challenge is to use 1 thing for each category listed which makes up your 7 and then 1 or more of your own which makes it 7+1... And for your swap-bot user name you can use something that represents your name or you can use the actual words.. I think either one would be fun to see how people interpret their user name.......Here is the link to the first 7+1 Challenge you can look throuh the gallery slideshow and see what some of the swappers did with that challenge...http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/5056 Most of all guys make it yours and make it fun...

It looks like a lot of fun! I wish I could join, I just have a lot of other swap commitments for the end of this month. I hope you do it again!

I really shouldn't but I'm joining. It's not so much as postage amounts. I think my husband would prefer I go back to just quilting! :)

Raven - thanks for having a second round. I loved the first one.

Hi all, just wanted to let you know that my user name has changed, I am still the same person, didn't want anyone to think something fishy was going on. MaryO - craftycrocheter

Coffeelatte: OMG! That's the first time I've ever seen that! I must now go to London, just to steal... I mean take a photo of a street sign!

Raven: Did item #6 used to be "a stamp"? I.e., not necessarily postage?

mine are done, ready for the next round!!!

Item #6 was always to be a postage stamp but I did not make that clear in my item description as someone pointed that out to me..Sorry if there has been any mix up

I am so excited for this swap! I already have my ATC's done :)

This is my first ATC swap, and the first time I'll actually be doing ATC's! I'm super excited. :)

okay, I'm game- the cards in those links are really cool!

Hiya mine are ready, fun idea for ATC's Had to do some hunting through my stash and found some things i'd forgotten about(:

I so want to make my cards but I found something online I had to have for them, and it hasn't come yet! I have so little patience sometimes. It drives my DH nuts.

This is the first time I've done one of these swaps...so much fun,I hope you will have another;)

Does it need to be a real postage stamp, or can it be a drawing/picture of a postage stamp?

kylanicole drawing, clip art, picture, real stamp or what ever you want to use as long as it resembles a postage stamp.

I sent my cards out today. vickie

My cards are finished and will mail early next week, Tuesday at the latest.

Oh my, this was just as fun as the first one! I'm really happy with the way mine turned out. Sleepingrover2010 and quietdreams, I'll be sending them out by the end of this week! I sure hope you like them. (I got the sleepyhead partners! Heheh, their names, I mean!)

Denise and Cheryl in USA, your cards are in the post from the UK. Please let me know when they arrive.

Hi Raven, I have used stickers that are reproductions of vintage Italian postage stamps as they suited the style of my card so much better. Is that ok?

magicjessnrach I love getting postage stamps from other countries to me it is interesting to see what they look like..Can't imagine anyone not liking your ideal and I did say above that it can be drawing, clip art, picture, real stamp or what ever you want to use as long as it resembles a postage stamp. I think your ideal will be just fine..

To everyone I am so happy to hear that so many of you are having fun and enjoying this swap..My goal is to have you take certain things that you would not usually put together and with no swap theme and just see what you can come up with. And the feedback that I am getting is that you guys are enjoying creating and somewhat surprised with the outcome of your atc's..So I feel that the goal here has been met....Congratulations to everyone in the swap..

I am leaving in a few hours going from NC to Indiana. They have given my mother in law only a few days to live and I don't know when we will be back...Hope that everyone sends and I hope that are no problems and if there I will take care of them when I get back..So sorry to have leave during a swap but this can't be helped..If I only knew that was a computer that I could get on I would not have left this note but I have no way to know for sure .....Thank you for understanding...Raven

So sorry to hear about your MIL Raven...don't worry about us...you and your family are in our thoughts.

Safe journeys, Raven, and my warm thoughts are with you and your family.

Oh, Raven...I am so sorry to hear that news. Take care and travel safely.

My best wishes for your family RAven.

In other news, mine're posted - I was SO pleased with how well such apparently disparate elements came together that I made 3 and kept one for me! :)

I always make an extra card for myself! I posted photos to the gallery of the card I received from Lorraine and the one I kept for myself as well....

I sent out my cards today to Boatingbelle and BetsyG. I hope you like them.

Sorry to hear about your mother-in-law Raven. Best wishes.

Sorry to here about your Mother in law.

My cards have been sent.

Barbara and Jeannie....atc's on their way to you from California! Hope you enjoy! :D

My cards went out Monday. Hope you enjoy them, ladies.

My cards have finally been sent. Sorry about the delay.

I am sorry to say that my mother in law passed away Oct.31..But I want to say Thanks to everyone for their support and prayers, you guys are the greatest..Thanks again, Raven
