Description:

Springtime has finally come to where I live, and I have noticed all of those little creepie crawly creatures everywhere... like spiders and mosquitoes and even beetles! Since the little bugs come inside the open windows no matter what I do, I thought I'd make a few of the welcome (on ATCs of course!) So lets make 1 atc for 3 partners (3 total!) of those creatures you normally wouldn't welcome into your house...spiders and flies and centipedes (oh my!)

this is my first time hosting, so i am going to be open-minded with people who want to sign up... if you have multiple recent no-sends, then i won't allow you, but if there is only one or two and they are OLD, contact me and we will talk!! of course, newbies are always welcome, as long as they have a complete profile!!! and any medium is welcome, as long as you send originals, and not photocopys! and they must be the standard 2.5" by 3.5" size...

Count me in...I've got some crawlings thingys in mind.

ok, i have done my homework on ATC's and im enthralled if not jubilant at the idea of making tons of these things. my problem is that i've never sent one out to anyone because im terrified it won't be up to par with what people expect. I've seen photo's on some sites, but they look more like digital images and not pictures people took at home, showing the realness - and well, it scares me.

would anyone be willing to show me a few pics of things they've made or things they like (or see as acceptable, not laughable) so i might grow the nerve to join and send out?

this really sounds like a fun design idea and think i could do pretty well - but im still scared that my first attempts will me laughed at or even sneered at and trashed :( i need someone to hold my stupid hand, hehe.

well, i didn't back out, so i guess here's hoping it isn't a total trainwreck! :)

ATCs on the way to amIcr8tive, brummiebird and shabby jules. Hope you like them.

user8885 06/19/2007 #

well i made mine. still pondering a few tiny additions (since this is my first atc swap) personaly i think they bombed because ive never actually seen anyone elses ATC's in real life. haha please don't spit at me for being juvenile. im pretty sure i went the kindergarted route and i doubt they will fit into sleeves very well due to 3-d additions, but im practicing! right?

I will get mine out later this weel when im sure i cant do anything to make them better!

thank you amI and merri

After all the nightmares of being sick and arranging funerals, all of my swap stuff finally made its way out. I'm sorry it was late being taken to the post office!! They were ready to be sent before the time deadline if that counts. heh.
