Description:

My daughter has been wanting to get in on the fun since I have been making my own ATCs. Hopefully, others also have children who make cards right alongside.

This swap will be fairly simple, I hope. It is for children from the ages of 7-15. Of course, parents/guardians will be responsible for signing up their kids and making sure the cards get completed and mailed on time.

Each child will have three partners and will send one card to each partner [your child will be making a total of 3 cards]. My daughter makes about two cards a night, so I'm thinking this shouldn't be terribly challenging.

I don't have a theme in mind. I'd just like kids to be able to get involved if they wish. The standard ATC size applies here [3.5x2.5]. Please make sure your cards are sturdy enough to qualify as 'cards' and flat enough to fit into sleeves.

Since ATCs are small and lightweight, this will be an international swap. Kids enjoy getting things from "strange" places as well. :o)

I will drop anyone that has a rating of less than 3.0 and/or more than one no-send. Everyone deserves to receive something, and this is for children. Please keep up your end so nobody has a bad experience. Thanks.

This is my first swap idea, so be gentle. ;-)

OOo, my girls (5 of 'em) love to make these things. I"ll have to get them working on it.

My older kids will love this :-) they are 7 and 9 y.o

It would be nice if we could adress the cards to the child participating so I'm goint to send en e-mail to the mother/father when I get to know who to send to so I get the names right if it's okay.

I sponsor an ATC club at my school for the junior high kids, and they've been wanting to trade. This would be the perfect way for them to trade! susi

My girls (8 & 12) love to make ATCs. :-)

Since this is my first swap, I need to ask this here - many people have multiple children they wish to participate in this swap. I am unaware of how to work it out so that everyone can trade with everyone - since when an adult signs up it's just "one" child that signs up.

I wouldn't expect one child to make ATCs for five or six kids when they believe they are getting just one partner, since it's a one card to each partner swap. Perhaps when you have your partner's contact info you can email the adult and ask if they mind their child making extra, since they would be receiving extra?

Any clue on how to handle this?

:o)

Cool! My daughter turns 7 next month. She is excitedly workign on her cards. :)

JaneR 11/30/2006 #

We didn't expect to recieve extra just because there is more than one child in our household, I figured my 12 year would make 2 and my 8 year old would make 1 and we would get 3 cards from 3 different partners. No biggie, they will share. :-)

missnatalie 11/30/2006 #

Actually, that is a good way to handle it, Jane. :o) Thank you. [now how do we work it for those who have more than three kids?] =P

Mammamuh 12/ 2/2006 #

I'm sorry but I don't get any information on who to send to. No name or address when clicking on the "See the partners you send to" - why?

missnatalie 12/ 2/2006 #

I don't see any information either. In fact, nobody has any information. I'll check into it.

missnatalie 12/ 2/2006 #

There. Everything should be fixed now [thank you to Travis! and swap-bot] Everyone should have partners. If there's a problem, comment here. :o)
