As far as the due dates are concerned, I know they will be tight. Next year if I decide to do this swap again I'll start it earlier in the summer. I just only thought of this swap idea recently. However, now you know how many ATCs you'll be making you can certainly start on them ahead of time and send them earlier if you can. I'd really like for the ATCs to be a surprise for people. The idea of posting them after they have been opened is a good one.I have read the rules, and believe I understand them. I would like to join, and I am crossing my fingers that the mail is kind to me to make the first due date! Also, should we post cards to the thread since they’ll we wrapped anyways so people won’t know what they got, or would it better to skip it for this one for extra suprise?
