I would love to participate.Swap Due Date -May 1, 2024
Signup/withdraw date -None/Just Communicate
Number of Cards -3 for 3 or 6 for 6
Number of participants -Unlimited
Medium: Open but minimal sticker use
Let's take some trips around the world. There are so many cool places out there. Our next trip will be to Spain. For this swap you will be making three different ATCs. Each ATC must depict something that this particular country is well known for. No three ATCs of the same things, please. Make each ATC of a different thing. Some of these trips will be really easy & others you will need to think outside of the box on.
NITTY GRITTY:
For the most part I swap media for media. If you do HD/HP you will more than likely receive the same back. Same for collage/mixed media. All ATCs need to be put in to sleeves to protect them from the elements. Sometimes there are only a few ATCs in certain medias; if that happens you will receive random media ATCs in return. Stickers can only be used very minimally.
To send your swaps please write the name of the swap on the outside of the envelope. Send a self addressed envelope with at least as much postage as it took to send your swaps to me. This is how you will receive your returns. International players will need to send a forever stamp to get their swaps back or two one dollar bills. I also have Pay Pal address, as well. International swappers please also send a large label with your name & address on it. I will provide the envelopes for international swappers. All other swappers need to provide their own envelopes. I am really recommending that everyone send their swaps in a business size envelope. They are approximately 9 1/2 x 4 1/4. These seem to go through the mail better than the smaller sized envelopes. The mail in WA state tends to run slow since it has to go to so many places so please don't wait until the last minute to send your swaps. Late swaps will be returned to the sender with possible neutral feedback. If you do send heavy or thick ATCs please be courteous & send extra postage to help make sure they get to the partners they need to go to. Mail is going up so please make sure you are putting proper postage on your swaps, regardless. Please do not go over-board on taping your envelope or using washi. They are the two worst things to have to deal with regarding my arthritis. Thank you, I appreciate it. You can hardly ever go wrong with painter's tape.
It is always fun to see what people are coming up with so please feel free to post your ATCs to the thread. Once I have received your ATCs (on time) I will leave feedback for you.
Once you have received your returns please let me know if I have done a good job or not by leaving feedback, as well, A host ATC is always appreciated but not expected. If you have any questions at all about the swap please feel free to contact me or ask in the thread.

Do you guys think it is too soon to post another country? I'd kind of like to keep four going at a time & China is in the midsts of getting swapped out so that leaves us with three countries right now.
I love these country swaps - can’t have too many. The only bad thing is that it makes me want to travel again and this far into retirement traveling is getting harder to arrange.
I hear you, I've always wanted to travel but it never really happened. Now I have too many health problems to go traveling...
I'm of the same opinion as Jo - can't have too many, but it really makes me want to travel more! And like you, ferretgirl, too many health problems is putting a hold on much traveling now. Our trip to Portugal, where we were joined by Jo last October - was probably our last big hurrah. At least we live fairly close to the Canadian border and try to get to Victoria as often as possible. I don't know why we don't spend time in Vancouver, but I really love Victoria.
AP - that trip to Portugal was wonderful. What a fantastic country. I will never forget our trip to the oldest library in Portugal, at there big university, where they kept bats to eat the insects that might want to chomp on the old volumes.
Aww, that is so neat that you guys got to meet up in a foreign country!! That must have been quite the experience having the bats in the library!!
Welcome aboard, TaraMorin
