This is the Third in a series of swaps, with the intention of each participant having the entire alphabet as a collection.

* Include one card for each letter in the group: M,N,O,P
* The letter does not have to be the largest element on the card, but should be a
prominent part of your design.
* Put your USERNAME, real name, and swap on the backs of all your cards.
* Please put all cards in clear plastic sleeves


SENDING INFO:

I am working very hard to get my cards out this time - they are outlined and ready to color. This is the closest to deadline I've had to work. (My principal told a group of teachers including myself, on the Saturday afternoon before school started that Tuesday, that we would be teaching different grades! My art time has been severely crimped by lesson planning!) Anyway - I'm catching my breath and hope to get these cards out quickly. I even have one towards the next batch. Will let you know when I mail them out!

No problem, Debbie. If you can't get your scanner fixed, please go ahead and mail your cards so they get here on time and I can scan them for you if needed.

Hi Everyone- Sorry I've fallen down on the job for this swap...cards have all been swapped and sent in good time, so hopefully they are arriving at their destinations.

I'm going to do my best to host the last two sets of letters for the Alphabet, then be off ATC's and swapping for a while due to major issues going on right now: The completion of building our new home, topped off by a somewhat complicated and uncomfortable pregnancy. I will definitely follow through, but please be patient if I'm not online for a few days at a time. If you have any specific questions, PM me and I will get notification via email, which I make an effort to check daily.

I've posted the next set of letters (QRSTU), so please go sign up if you're interested in completing your set! Thanks to everyone for sticking with it!
