Swap Due Date - February 1st
Number of ATCs - 3:3 or 6:6
Number of participants - Unlimited



Instructions

1. Make cards (3 for 3 or 6 for 6) following our Sweet Tooth theme. This swap is very open to artistic interpretation. Some examples: You could do a cupcake still life, you could do a funky land made of candies, you could do candy-related cartoon characters (strawberry shortcake, the gummy bears, Lord Licorice...etc.), or you could do Peter Max styled Pastry Horses... wink wink.

2. When you are ready, PM me for my address, and then mail those sweet babies out! The Due Date is February 1st. Make sure you send an SASE/SAE.

3. I will send our your tasty cards within 2 weeks of of that date... hopefully some of you can get your cards by Valentines Day, how delish!

"...Who can take a rainbow
Wrap it is a sigh
Soak it in the sun
and make a strawberry lemon pie?

The candyman
The candyman can

The candyman can
cause he mixes it with love
and makes the world taste good..."

[Amerasu]

WEWT! :) Welcome!!

[IceKat]

I might be back. Lemme see if I can power through some swaps this weekend so I don't feel over-committed for Jan/Feb. *has wicked thoughts for this*

[AnneY]

I'm not sure why I missed the thread, but I'm in!

[Tlouey]

WEWT! Glad to have you :)

[Meran]

I would so love to do this swap, but I know I'll be overbooked.. waaaah!

[Tlouey]

OOOOOOOOH.... those are gorgeous and so colourful! Mmmm.. tastey! :)

[L.A.French]

Amerasu - your cupcakes are heavenly! Yummmmmmo!

[canuckdesz]

I'm a horrible sweet tooth. Count me in!

[Tlouey]

just giving the thread a little bump :)

[EraserQueen]

YUM!

Hey Tlou, you might want to PM the others in the swap with your address and remind them of the due date (that is what I do with my swaps, and it really helps the participants!)

[Tlouey]

will do! thanks :P

[themuppet]

Bahhhhhhh I'm sorry; I have to drop (it's becoming a chronic problem with me these days)... I just realized it's like.. uh. Almost February!! haha! Plus my PO apparently sends things to Canada by way of Siberia, so there's no WAY I'll make the deadline. I sent something overnight to Sal last week and it's still not there yet.

I'm sorry!!

[Tlouey]

my first two cards for the swap... one left to do for sure :p

They are remakes of my tiny sundae cards which I loves XD
I think the tininess made them so much sweeter... but these larger ones turned out alright too :)
they look much much ebtter in person

[EraserQueen]

They look YUM! Here are my two so far LOL

[Tlouey]

yours are so bright and vivid! I LOOOOVE them

[Amerasu]

Wow, fantastically yummy cards you two!! Those are so good! :)

[Amerasu]

Make sure you stick them in the Food category for the book, lol!

[altermyworld]

hopefully mine arrive soon

[Tlouey]

got yours :)

[Tlouey]

eeep! I hope that I get a butt-load of envelopes in the mail today, since today is the last mail day before the due date and I've only received from three people so far o.o;; There'll be a grace period, but I was hoping I didn't have to use it so that you guys could get your cards by valentines day XD ...not that it matters XD ...Oh, I guess there's only three more envelopes to receive anyway, since we had a few people drop out.

[EraserQueen]

Mine were mailed today. :eek: You swap was that last that got recorded in my note book with the actual due date listed AS the due date. Now lately I've been recording all my swap dues dates as week earlier, in my efforts to get stuff mailed early..

[L.A.French]

Mine were mailed today too. :embarrassed:

[Tlouey]

its all good :)
I'm just glad you didn't drop out because you were so close to the deadline. Hopefully your cards will make it here in a week :)

[Tlouey]

Got yours today LA French and they are FANTASTIC!!!! Your art is even more FANTASTIC in person!! It is tempting to just pocket these cards, lol!!!

Still waiting for Paperdaisies and EraserQueen's cards :)

[EraserQueen]

Aw man I hope you get mine soon!

[Tlouey]

Maybe they'll arrive on Monday :) :) I'll cross my fingers!!
I guess we're just waiting on you, as paperdaisies had to withdraw... LOL, I'm wondering if its me or something, cuz this swap sure went down in numbers in the last couple of weeks.

[EraserQueen]

No, a lot of people are experiencing it. This is called Winter over commitment, we had it last year too :)

[themuppet]

Yeh, boneheads like me sign up for a bunch of stuff not even thinking about holiday recovery time, mid-winter blahs, etc. I'm still rushing to play catch-up!

[Tlouey]

LOL, I totally understand, Sarah! I really came close in January to being late on all my commitments... I was sweeaaating! LOL! And then I went and signed up for like five swaps for this spring, hahaha.

Winter-Over-Commitment, eh? Sounds like it should be added to the glossary XD

[Tlouey]

WEWT!! I got EraserQueen's lovely cards in the mail today!!
The card returns will all be sent out this afternoon when my son gets up from his nap

[EraserQueen]

YUM

And THANK GOD mine finally got there :eek:

The gallery image looks fantastic too!

[Tlouey]

yes the gallery image makes me happy! it is so bright and colourful!! LOL :)

[ambermarie]

WOW! Those look so great! I totally love whoever did the chocolate covered strawberry. I was afraid I wouldn't come up with anything nifty and there are some really great pieces!

[Tlouey]

has anyone received their cards yet?? :/

[EraserQueen]

I HAVE MINE!!!! Yay! Thanks so much to Amerasu, Sara (the inchie is so cute!!) and

[altermyworld]

Mine came a couple days ago.....rocking cards. I had to laugh because i SO wanted sweet tooth and I GOT it.
Weeeeeeeeeeeee
Ang

[Amerasu]

Oh hey! I didn't even notice the swap gallery here! I'll get it up when I do the March update this weekend. It looks fantastic!

[Tlouey]

Amerasu? You didn't get my email with the original attached?


I'm glad you got yours safely Altermyworld & EraserQueen :) :)

[Amerasu]

No, I don't have it. I just checked my email again and don't have an email from you on either account. It could have gone into my junk folder. That happens every now and then with legit email and I'm not always careful about checking that particular folder.

I can just use this image so no need to resend. It looks fantastic! :)

[Tlouey]

even with the text on it? :/

[L.A.French]

I received my cards! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!! They're wonderful!

[Tlouey]

YAY!! Im glad you got them safely :):)

[Tlouey]

hey everyone... my sweets... was just hoping to get some more iTraders for those who forgot ^^
