A Word And Two Questions About ATC Swaps

Hello lovely swappers!

Questions regarding postage have been coming up,

and I would like to address them here.

I know there are a few of you that place a modest number of stamps on your padded envelope,

and they miraculously appear in my mailbox.

When I return the same envelope to you,

the post office charges me between $3.76 and $4.06 (approximately).

Don't ask me why,

I don't get it.

I would also like everyone to know

that the little gifts I have been including in the past 2 swaps

have had no effect on the price of return postage.

Either way (with or without a gift)

the weights fall within the same range.

So here are the questions:

1. Do you prefer our swaps be limited to 2 dimension or 3 dimension ATCs?

2. If you choose 2 dimension (only flat embellishments),

would you be okay with us using regular legal letter size envelopes?

You would include an addressed stamped envelope when you send them in.

and the bonus question:

3. If you choose 3 dimension,

would you like to return to the OLD rules,

when we had NO rules about embellishments and dangling bits?

Please let me know by comment here.

I have been loving these monthly swaps

and so appreciate each and every one of you who participate,

let's keep it going strong

(and better if we can)!

happy summer hugs,

Kim

January ATC Swap Is Being Packed Today!

Take a look at these beauties!

I am sorry that they were not returned sooner.

I was holding out hope that JoAnne's package would arrive,

but it has been shuffled from one Denver facility to another,

only to return to the first and start its rotation over again.

The plan was to pack them on Monday,

but my head is still reeling from this past Sunday

(reference my last post).

I also missed 

Art Card Tuesday.

I will make it up next Tuesday

with 2 posts.

This week's prompt is 

GREY

(just in case you want to get a jump start).

Thanks to all who participated

and for your understanding patience.

There is still time to sign up for February's swap,

tap the button at the top of the right sidebar.

warm hugs,

Kim
