Description:
Hello, and welcome to my most ambitious (so far) shot at hosting a swap! This will be a fun ATC swap, and exactly what all of us "lovers-of-sappy-sweet images" have been waiting for! Simply find a picture/image/graphic of something vintage, sweet and/or nostalgic and secure to a standard size (2.5 x 3.5) ATC! You will send 3 ATCs, to 1 partner...so a total of 3 ATCs! (see example...feel free to use as a stamp on your website!) Use your imagination! Do some flickr searches for inspiration! Create something you would LOVE and make them FAB! Here are some places you can find sweet, vintage images: Vintage children's books Vintage games Children's playing cards Etsy, Artfire, Ebay (vintage graphics cds) Baby books Vintage party supplies Vintage birthday cards, valentines Packaging from baby clothes Google image search Newbies and beginners welcome, but please have a nicely filled-out profile. All others must have a rating of 4.5 or above, or have no 1s or 3s in the last year. No likee the flakees. :-) (But I will angel if needed (see the halo shining above my head?) If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Have fun, and let your "love for the sweet and sappy" be your guide! Happy Swapping, Paula Clare

Only a few days to deadline! I hope all of you sweet image swappers have already sent or will be sending your partner their goodies!

Linda, It took me awhile to figure out this whole swap-bot thing. DO try to jump in on the next swap. Fun will be had by all!
