5. Each card must be the standard ATC size of 2.5 x 3.5 inches

Make Note:
I prefer to be an on-time hostess! I will not wait weeks for your cards! Do not over-commit yourself. Late cards--regardless of the reason (health, personal tragedy, job demands, etc.)--will result in a neutral feedback from me.
*No cards at all will result in a negative feedback.
*When you are ready to mail your cards, please just private message me for my address.
*Feedback will be given when cards are received by me and appropriate theme material is verified.
*Please note that cards must be received by the due date.
*A host card would be greatly appreciated and loved, but is never required.
*Please make sure to leave an feedback for your host (me) and for each participant in your group.

Hi! So glad to see a PAT!!
May I join groups 3 and 7 please?
It's been so long since we've had a PAT .
I have to look to see which APCS I need. So themes to be announced.
so glad to have you join catladybj! I love a PAT too, I've got a few theme ideas in mind as well, but dang the 2 group minimum:LOL:
 
Yes, there are more than two that I would like to join also! Oh well - I am happy to have a PAT and ESPECIALLY with an APC group!!!
I forgot to put this in my post:
“I have read and understand the swap guidelines and rules.”
 
Ooh, I have been looking for a PAT since I reached +15 feedback! Question: for group 8, monochromatic, are you supposed to pick a color AND a theme? (Same for group 2: artist AND theme?)
 
After my initial terrorizing middle school 'break up into groups' flashback, I have been trying and failing to understand what this is. I checked glossary and forum threads, but no PAT or itrader. From MaryStMary sounds like feedback = itrader? Is the group collectively picking themes or each individual member picking their own themes? If it's possible to send the 'wrong' card, how do you know who you're making it for? 😳Anyone?

you totally got it, pick a desired color and theme

I had the same fear when i did my first PAT, each player/artist in the group that you sign up for will list a theme, you would then create an atc/coin etc. for each player/artist in your group representing that theme, for a total of 4 cards,
1 for each player/artist in the group, in return each player/artist in your group creates a card in you desired theme and you would then receive 4 cards.
All the cards come to me, i will swap them out accordingly and get them sent to each player/artist.
Its a cool way to get a handful of unique cards all in the same thing, if you collect robots, you get 4 robots and so on, I hope this helps, dont hesitate to keep asking questions!
 
Ok have read and been schooled and now understand the rules! I would like to be in group 2: in the style of Jean Michelle Basquiat - theme protest women losing their rights. And group 4: snarky zetties
 
I have read and understand the swap guidelines and rules.
With that out of the way, I would like to participate in Group 2: Vincent Van Gogh/ A Fish Still Life and Group 4:: Cryptids
 
“I have read and understand the swap guidelines and rules.” I'm only supposed to pick one group right? I see some in more than one.

I think this is Group 4 - Irish Castles (preferably from County Waterford)


I've never done one of these before but please sign me up.
