Hi Linda,
re: sugar
Last year was  the 100th Anniversary of the Zucker
Musuem, Berlin. As part of the celebration the museum
hosted a mail art exhibition. I made post cards and
sent them off but never heard back until 2 weeks ago
when a fabulous catalogue arrived. My pcs are in it.

I've always enjoyed making mail art and ATCs make
collecting easy, fun and interactive.

Best regards, Linda

I just completed a very nice series of 10 cards that I would like to
trade for an equal amount.  This series is of the Pacific Northwest
Lighthouses.  Anyone interested please let me know.

Have a creative day!

Linda Rudometkin

Hi Linda and anyone else interested in participating in this upcoming
show in Vancouver.

I wrote to the Guest Curator, Bill Thompson: billarts@..., to
ask about postage for people outside of Canada.

Please send a Self Addressed Envelope with perhaps $3.00 cash for the
return of cards. Bill suggests $5 but I don't think it costs that much
to mail back 18 cards in sleaves.

If you want the hosts to blind trade for you then do indicate that on
the application which is a downloadable pdf file:
http://www.pomoartscentre.bc.ca/mainpage/index.htm

Please note the correct post code: V3H 3B2

Best, Linda

Hi Linda,

Please email the guest curator Bill Thomson at

billarts@...

Most likely you can send $2.00 cash with
your ATCs. As any submissions from outside Canada
could only be returned with Canadian postage.

I have 18 cards ready to send to the Port Moody Arts
Centre.

LMK, Linda

Hi Linda,

 

I received your letter from Atlanta yesterday.  The ATC's are wonderful as always.  The postcards are always welcome for collages and thanks for sending them along.  I hope you had a wonderful trip and everything went well for the wedding. 

 

I have put together eighteen ATC's to send to the exchange in Vancouver.  I would love to go, but probably not this year.  Thanks for the information regarding this exchange. 

 

My son made my website for me and gave me the name lindaatcgirl.  I have certainly received a lot of emails from guys that want to have adult conversation with the atcgirl.  I guess they think it is something "kinky."  I usually delete them or on occasion I will explain what atc stands for and they immediately disappear.  lol.

 

your ATC friend, Linda R.

Shoes and Tea theme cards are traded, thanks to everyone
who participated.

The 'Bead' theme deadline is extended as no one sent
cards. I'll keep 'Anything' as a monthly exchange.

One proposed theme is for cards that incorporate 'Feathers'.

If anyone has a suggestion for a topic please email me.

Every time I receive ATCs in the mail it's exciting as they
are so creative and filled with joy.

Thanks to all of you who share your talent, Linda

I received my exchange cards today and they are all wonderful.
Thanks
so much to all of you that participated in the exchange.  Thank you
Linda WS for sharing your time with all of us.

Hi LindaWS
Thanks for welcoming me :-)
Hugs, Linda DK

Greetings and thank you for joining this ATC trading group.
I will look forward to exchanging ATCs with you.
Best regards from Toronto, LindaWS

My name is Linda and I'm from Denmark. I'm 42, married and have 3
girls. I'm interested in all sorts of crafts, have mostly been doing
applique but a couple of months ago I discoverd Atc's and started
making them - that is quite a lot of fun. Right now I owe a lot of
people a gift or some Danish ephemera so I will not take part in swaps
before I have done that - gotte save my postage-money :-)
Glad to be here.
Hugs, Linda
Since there is one more Linda, I'll in the future call me "Linda DK"

Hi Cindy,
It's quite ok to post a link to your trades.

Good luck, Linda

Jennifer wrote to ask a very good question:
" I'm a little confused about the trading sessions on the database.
It's clear that I make three cards that have to do with the subject
and then get three back, but am I getting three from three individual
people or three from one person? And how do I sign up if I'd like to
participate in one of the trades?"
Reply:
If 3 people sign up for the trades
then yes you will get a card from 3 different
people. If you are the only person who sends
cards then you will get 3 of mine back. As you can
imagine hosting means that I must fulfill the trades.
The more people who participate the more variety will go out in
exchange. This is a new forum and it self is a work in progress.

Currently I have received 1 set of 3 'Tea' themes, 1 of 'Anything'
and 1 of 'Shoes'. They are cool.

I have kept the exchange at 3 cards as it is not
so many to make and mail.

To sign up for a trading session email the host. In the case of the 4
currently listed, that is me. Each of you are welcome to host your own
trading sessions or to invite others to trade one on one with you.

I do welcome advice and suggestions,
Best, LindaWS

Hope this helps, Linda
p.s. I posted this twice so that everyone who has signed up will
receive it as e.

Hi Cindy, I will look forward to seeing your ATCs
and trading with you.

Hello all my name is Cindy and I am a mixed media artist living in
central alberta.  I love meeting other artists, the exchange of ideas
and techniques is greatly stimulating for me. I look forward to
getting to know you here and hopefully trading some cards too.  I will
post a link to my yahoo photos album which has a folder for atc's for
trade in it.
  Have an artfull day
Cindy

Hi Everyone,
Thank you for joining this yahoo group. I have added two more themes
for trading:
Bead, the Venerable, 3 cards do by May 3,
Shoes, 3 cards due by May 17
The Canadian theme is changed to Anything ATC, 3 cards for 3

If you have friends who want to trade on any of the above topics they
are most welcome. Hopefully some of you will want to host trades too.

Email if you have any questions or suggestions, as this is a learning
process for me too. BTW the cards that you all make and trade with me
are awesome.
Thanks, Linda

Hello, everyone!  Linda invited me to check out this trading site and
I am interested in the tea ATC swap!  I love to make ATC's and just
recently received my first set of STC's (Sister Trading Cards from
Cat Schick in Switzerland).  Since that was my first international
swap, it was very interesting to see such varied ideas.

I am from Canton, Ohio and love collage AND rubber stamping.  So, if
some of my rubber stamps find their way into my ATC's, I make no
apology.  I feel they sometimes give that finishing touch that makes
the card complete.

Looking forward to many fun swaps with this group!  Joy

Hello -

If I join a themed swap I expect to send a SASE or money for postage. This
is the way it is on most groups. If I do a 3/3 or 5/5 individual trade, then
each artist pays to send their own cards of course. But, if I was to host a
swap I would expect eveyrone to send enough postage (not worried much about
an envelope - probably less weight without). I think this is imperative if
you have members living outside your country of origin. I am Canadian & it
is quite costly for us to send either to the US-85 cents per or overseas -
$1.45 & most of the groups I am in have members worldwide. I am co-manager
of an ATC site & our manager asks for postage. I have no problem sending
postage & I wouldn't host a swap without being able to ask for it.

Hope this helps. By the way, are you independently wealthy? Ha!

Cheers

Gail

Thank you so much for joining this site. More theme trading
sessions will be posted soon by me and hopefully by you too!

There seems to be some issue over the request for money and
or postage when it comes to trading. I have kept my trades
down to 3 for 3 with each party
paying for their own postage. This keeps the mail light
and withing the letter mail rate.

I love all of your cards and am so excited when they

Best from TO, Linda

My name is Gail & I live in Trail, B.C. Its good to see a new Canadian
ATC group. My friend Leola (from Saskatchewan) just started a new ATC
group on msn of which I am co-manager. Now, just to clarify my
understanding of this particular group - it is for themed swaps only?
Where do I find the swaps & how do I suggest or start one? HELP! I am
not too good at navigating Yahoo! Sometimes I have difficulty even
signing in! Do I have to go to the Database? Hmmm ... anyway I'd love
to know what swaps are currently posted & I would love to post one ...
have several ideas ...

Thanks for the invitation Linda - by the way my cards are in the mail
to you. Hope you like them!

Cheers

Gail in Trail

 

Thanks for the follow-up Linda. I've been collecting for some time & I hate
to admit it, but I have my share of stamps ... but I wouldn't re-trade my
cards like some are starting to do (I see a new group started up, just for
Second-Generation Trades). And I agree about setting examples. Several
people who have received my work, have queried me further about techniques;
etc. and I never mind passing along information or knowledge. But
unfortunately, there are some traders whom  guess are traded out. I have
suggested to traders when they post their ATCs to put a small description
underneath stating the medium used. And, that when one is in the process of
making or asking for trades, one should stipulate what it is they are
looking for - ie. original works, or whatever.

Glad you replied as I didn't want to be sitting here with my foot in my
mouth! I guess there are many opinions/differences out there in the ATC
world & people just have to decide what is right for them. Me - I will trade
anyone! Anytime!

Okay, well, I am going now. One suggestion I have for a swap is James Dean
(I know you are probably not old enough to even know who he is - I barely am
- but I do know his movies; his story. This year marks the 50th year since
his death & there are all kinds of things going on. Let me know what you
think.

Cheers & good luck with the new group! One day i will figure out how to
navigate it! I suffer from sometimers & brain fog occasionally!

Gail

Hi Gail,

Theme Swaps are in the Database.
This site is new and will take a little while
to get off the ground.

I am happy to trade 3 for 3, random cards.
You can post your own requests for trades on
the database too. It's easy to post. If you
make a mistake email me and I'll make
corrections.

If you have any tips or suggestions please
let me know.

Thanks for joining and I'll look forward
to trading with you.

Best from Toronto, Linda

Make Art not War

______________________________________________________________________

My name is Gail & I live in Trail, B.C. Its good to see a new Canadian
ATC group. My friend Leola (from Saskatchewan) just started a new ATC
group on msn of which I am co-manager. Now, just to clarify my
understanding of this particular group - it is for themed swaps only?
Where do I find the swaps & how do I suggest or start one? HELP! I am
not too good at navigating Yahoo! Sometimes I have difficulty even
signing in! Do I have to go to the Database? Hmmm ... anyway I'd love
to know what swaps are currently posted & I would love to post one ...
have several ideas ...

Thanks for the invitation Linda - by the way my cards are in the mail
to you. Hope you like them!

Cheers

Gail in Trail

Please join this ATC trading forum. Trading sessions will be listed in
