Pop Culture by the Decades--1950's ATC swap (US

Edited 5/11

Think back to Zoot Suits, Davy Crockett, flower children, The Brady Bunch, Etch a Sketch, Big Wheels, bell bottoms, disco, mood rings, new wave, and Break Dancing. These are all things that make up our pasts and have become a part of American pop culture.

For this swap you will each have 3 partners for whom you will make 3 ATC's each depicting what you remember most about each decade in each of the following categories; Fashion/Fads, TV/Music, & Toys/Games. This can be from personal memories or from stuff you've heard about in family stories if you did not personally experience a particular decade.

You will make a total of 9 cards and send three to each partner. When you receive your nine cards, you will be able to fill one card sheet for the decade.

I am starting with the 1950's and plan on hosting a new decade every month up to the 90's.

Here's the rules:

1. You must have a rating of 4.5 or higher. Newbies are welcome with a full profile and an introduction below, but please make sure that you are committed to following through as it is very disappointing to not receive anything.

2. If you have recent no-sends or "1" ratings please e-mail me with an explanation before signing up, I will look into it and make a decision.

*for those of you who watch the participant list, I will not be removing people until after the final sign-up, and I will be going through profiles to eliminate flakers.
