Look what finally arrived!

@gozer, you brilliantly captured my lovely daughter, especially her sass in the profile image

And these unexpected cards are delightful, pretty girl and the adorable bunny! You really spoiled us, thank you

[gozer (Becca)]

Yay! I am so glad they finally arrived! I truly had given up hope.

[Bunny1kenobi (Deanna 🇺🇸)]

Hooray! They are so fabulous!!!

[Lynx (In a world where you can be anything, be kind.)]

Oh, I’m so relieved those beauties finally arrived!

@anna.wahnsinn sent me this lovely, sparkly rainbow dot card, perfect for Pride month! It came with a wonderful hand written letter, I`ll write you back Anna! XO

[anna.wahnsinn (Anne)]

Oooh, that was quick, yay!

[Magpie (Weird is my super power 🇨🇦)]

I received some terrific surprise cards from @Reinikka today, love those funky stamps.

She instructed me to share one with my sweet daughter…

… who made off with both of them lickety split! You have a fan there

Thank you friend. Look for a return letter in the mail

OK, ATC makers! The August ATC swap is up! Go ahead & send me your questionnaires now if you want to get ahead of things!

COMPLETED: Ongoing ATC swap August 2020

Ongoing ATCs rise again! Signups & claiming all month August 2020. (photo here) [image] Discussion and Gallery thread is here: Ongoing ATC swap gallery & discussion 2020 Please make sure you are Watching this thread, or check it regularly. From the old c’ster thread: This is an ongoing swap, with your level of participation determined entirely by you, with a minimum of one card for the month. People of all levels of card making are welcome. Sign-ups are open all month. Please make sure you …

Also I did a bunch of rewording & condensing of the instructions, so if you notice something I missed or made more confusing, please let me know.

[Lynx (In a world where you can be anything, be kind.)]

Hurray! I’ll sign up when on a proper computer.

[megwell (Megan (she/her))]

Q on its way shortly!

[pioneer9 (Valerie)]

Yay, I’ve been waiting for this!

[bluebird]

working on my q right now

[Reinikka]

Signed up!

By the way I have a LOOOOOOT of ATCs already made and I hope no one minds if I use them when claiming (if they fit someone’s themes)

[Lynx (In a world where you can be anything, be kind.)]

Of course not!! Claim away!

[Reinikka]

Question #1:

@thanate

You may make as many claims as you like during the month as long as you have fewer than 10 claims outstanding (ie, that have not been SENT).

I’ve always considered “outstanding” to be “un-received” So that if I made 10 claims and sent 10 I would still have 10 outstanding until a card was received. But now if I made 10 claims and sent 10 I would have 0 outstanding?

---

Question #2:

And I’ve never been good with keeping track the # / # / # way I prefer to list it like this:

Claims (total for the month): #
Sent (in transit): #
Received: #
Outstanding: #

So do I have to learn the other way or is the list way ok?

Thanks!

Now that you mention it, that was my understanding as well…

[thanate (Ann needs more tea)]

This is wording taken from the original c’ster threads, and I think it’s specific to this swap, so that mail delays don’t slow things down.

@Reinikka, list is fine, if that’s what works for you; just so long as the info is there!

[pioneer9 (Valerie)]

Is there a reason this swap doesn’t pop up with the rest of them if you click on the “Open Swaps” tab?

[thanate (Ann needs more tea)]

That is a good question-- I don’t see anything I can do to change the status, but will ping the mods.

…And we are sorted. The magic trick is to tag it as “swap signups” rather than “open swaps.”
