Is that a stamp in the sense of postage?

LMM 09/30/2007 #

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

Dalwil 09/30/2007 #

Thanks for the invite - Im defintately in yay

SamiE 09/30/2007 #

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

raven 09/30/2007 #

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

Lindy 09/30/2007 #

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.

HeadInTheClouds 10/ 1/2007 #

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!

craftycrocheter 10/ 1/2007 #

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

BetsyG 10/ 1/2007 #

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

DJ 10/ 1/2007 #

Thank you for the invitation. Sounds like fun!

YourTeacher 10/ 1/2007 #

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

Cocoa 10/ 1/2007 #

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

dwheeler 10/ 1/2007 #

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!

missychrissy 10/ 2/2007 #

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

Maddy 10/ 2/2007 #

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

LMM 10/ 2/2007 #

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

LMM 10/ 2/2007 #

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?

user10625 10/ 2/2007 #

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

raven 10/ 3/2007 #

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...

raven 10/ 3/2007 #

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.

charlottenc 10/ 3/2007 #

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...

LMM 10/ 3/2007 #

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

CherylCraftCabin 10/ 5/2007 #

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

raven 10/ 5/2007 #

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..

crimsoncat05 10/ 5/2007 #

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!

crimsoncat05 10/ 5/2007 #

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!

mortaine 10/ 5/2007 #

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.

Coffeelatte 10/ 5/2007 #

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

raven 10/ 7/2007 #

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...

Alisa 10/ 7/2007 #

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!

SewFun 10/ 7/2007 #

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.

craftycrocheter 10/ 8/2007 #

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

mortaine 10/ 8/2007 #

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!

mortaine 10/ 8/2007 #

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

peridoticparadox 10/ 8/2007 #

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

raven 10/ 9/2007 #

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

liregudesigns 10/ 9/2007 #

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

dazia 10/10/2007 #

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

crimsoncat05 10/10/2007 #

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

lisajhoney 10/10/2007 #

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(:

SewFun 10/11/2007 #

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.

caresalot 10/12/2007 #

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

kylanicole 10/16/2007 #

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

raven 10/18/2007 #

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

vickie 10/20/2007 #

I sent my cards out today. vickie

SewFun 10/20/2007 #

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

kiki 10/21/2007 #

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!)

boatingbelle 10/22/2007 #

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

magicjessnrach 10/23/2007 #

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?

raven 10/23/2007 #

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..

raven 10/23/2007 #

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..

raven 10/24/2007 #

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

LMM 10/24/2007 #

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

kiki 10/24/2007 #

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

Coffeelatte 10/25/2007 #

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

Rillaith 10/26/2007 #

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! :)

LMM 10/26/2007 #

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....

YourTeacher 10/29/2007 #

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

YourTeacher 10/29/2007 #
