HOUSEKEEPING NOTES: Lisa (LoveToCraftInAZ) is taking a break from swapping. With her permission, I’m continuing this swap until she’s ready to reclaim it. Her swap is a variant of one started by @Wenturner71 several years ago, and Lisa had Wendy's permission to continue it.

SWAP INSTRUCTIONS

If you already have an established ATC Bag to pass along, great! If not, here's how to start a new one:

  1. Take a small envie and write your swap-bot user name, real name and address on one side. On the other side, write instructions such as "take out 2 ATCs and add 3." You can choose to have the person take or add as many as you wish. (Note: New bags MUST start with at least 4 ATCs so players have an assortment to choose from.)

  2. Create numbered lines for participants to sign. You can decide how many lines to include (# of passalong players) The last person will sign and send the bag home.

  3. Place the ATC bag (envie) inside another envelope, and mail the package to your swap partner.

When you receive your ATC bag, follow the sender's instructions and pass it along.

Rate your partner a 5 if you receive an ATC bag that fits the swap description. Do NOT rate down because you don't think the ATCs are good enough. Hearts are always optional.

Please send quality ATCs. Do not send sticker-slapped cards you've made.

No Newbies, no exceptions. No unexplained 1s or 3s. You have have participated in at least 20 Type 3 swaps.

Do I start the new bag with 4 of my own creations or a mix with made by others?

I participated in this swap several times years ago and never got a bag back. I'm gonna try it again, I hope it works!

You can start a bag with your own cards or with cards made by others. It's up to you!

So glad I found this swap, lol, I joined #27 and had been wondering what to do with the bag that I have sitting here.

@ArtsOnFire I totally hope we get our bags back : )

Do all the cards you put into the bag have to be made by you, or can some be by other artists? I saw the question about STARTING the bag above, but am not sure what applies after one has received a bag.

Also, how many times are you likely to get a bag in this swap? I mean, you start a bag...but aren't you also going to be on someone else's 1-4 list? Maybe a few such lists, depending on the number of people who sign up?

I'm just trying to determine whether I have enough time to make enough cards of my own to participate in this. It does sound like fun. Thanks!

Cards can be made by you or other artists. You can include cards you've received that don't fit your collection.

You'll get a bag with each swap. If there are numerous players, you'll likely get a different bag each time. With fewer players, there may be a repeat. Swap-bot assigns partners, so I have no control over this!

It can take several months to get your original bag, as this swap is held once a month, and people hold the bag they've received for the next round.

Please let me know if you have additional questions.

My bag arrived with no instructins as to who to send it to next. Do I just choose a swapper, or is there a method as to who gets it next??
