Hi Clare,

That's right, although you're not on the new list as yet. It was suggested that a new list was started as a few people had dropped out and new ones wanted to join. I'll pop you on after Ali if you want to join.

I have done some transparent ones if anyone wants to swap for a surprise as I cant show yet as some are for a challenge :)

Jay
06-02-2006, 11:09 PM

girls how long do i keep my atcs on the picture thread before i put new ones up ?
and is there a limit on how the swaps work? not sure if its 1 swap a mth
ive been busy doing my fav subject today oldy woldy vintage so keep looking girls

Jay
06-02-2006, 11:51 PM
I'm not sure if there's a time limit on keeping stuff on there, but I just re-photo as some are traded and I make more.
I don't think there's a limit on how many you trade. I've done loads, 'cos I love other peoples work.

chocolatecandy8
07-02-2006, 12:19 AM
same here as i think others work is so much better than my own

LME
07-02-2006, 11:52 AM
We all prefer other peoples work :)
You can put as many swaps as you like on your picture i.e. as you can do 5 attatchments you could show say 5x9 45:)
Sometimes if there are more than 9 on a picture you can't see them clearly.

I have loads of swaps if you want a bulk trade I never show all of them as I thought everyone would get fed up :)

I dare not tell you how many I have :)

Mother Duck
08-02-2006, 06:45 AM

Clare
08-02-2006, 07:28 PM
Ive got quite a few - but not made by me - they are swapped ones from other folks! all mine get made to swap - Linda is a dynamo and never stops creating!!

Im having a mid-month crisis :blink:
Is any one else feeling a bit intimidated by the swap.....tradings one thing cos people chose what they like but is anyone else a bit apprehensive about just posting out stuff and hoping it will be well recieved :unsure:

mum2a16yrold
11-02-2006, 12:15 PM
Not really Lisa, I figure you can't please all of the people all of the time, but as long as you like it I am sure most people will like it too. Not everyones tastes are the same. It is still nice to see the different materials, textures and techniques used by other people. A major source of inspiration I'd say. :)

jainethepain
11-02-2006, 12:27 PM
Well said Ann :)

I must have the biggest Inferiority Complex on this planet, but I've fallen in love with these little bits of Art and I'm fighting that ruddy complex all the way - otherwise I'd never see anyone else's stuff :D

ellejay
11-02-2006, 12:39 PM
Thats what it is Jaine - an inferiorararity thingumy! :D
Yup - couldnt have said it better (and certainly cant type it)
I guess ill feel better when I know a few more techniques.... :blink:

mum2a16yrold
11-02-2006, 12:45 PM

LME
11-02-2006, 06:49 PM
Some of the ones she has are trades :)

chocolatecandy8
11-02-2006, 06:51 PM

chocolatecandy8
12-02-2006, 12:04 PM
i agree mother duck i can honestly every atc card ive had ive treasured every time i walk past my atc album on my shelf i have to have a look allthough ive looked through that album a thousand times every time i open my album i always find a surprise a never noticed before its like a magic box i think i treasure my atcs more than my photo albums lol
think its because my scrapbooks ive done myself but my atcs is what others has took there time to do for me
sorry girls ill shut up know hark at me getting so soppy

Mother Duck
12-02-2006, 11:01 PM

well my scanner has gone belly up and it wont let me do anything...just keeps flashing ERROR at me. :angry:

On the scanner itself or on you pc screen??

Try unplugging everything and just plugging the main in without it connected to pc (if you can) might reset it.

If not and its a UBS powered one, try re-installing the driver software.

Another option which might sound silly but can work if its the scanning unit inside that's jammed or off track. Hold it flat and jiggle it clockwise / anti clockwise motion (gentle) then plug back in.

Its a 3 in 1 copier scanner printer - its a bit awkward to 'jiggle' Hubby checked all the connections and we reset everything but no luck...the error message comes on the actual printer unit. Its says to refer to documentation but the docs dont tell me anything. Its making an awful banging noise when turned on or off and if you open lid you can see the belt jumping violently - think its snagged. its only 5 - 6 months old - ringing epson now :unsure:

ellejay
13-02-2006, 10:48 AM
Ever felt like a complete twit!
rang epson - went through problems - described noise, said they could hear it over telephone - pressed scan - bloody thing works :angry:
Its gonna be one of them days.....

Jay
13-02-2006, 01:53 PM
It's always the way. I'm sure our computer has a little eye and when it sees me it plays up. As soon as DH or DD1 appear it behaves itself.

LOL, I was gonna ask how old and to ring them, but it's worth trying the reset bits first just in case. At least it works, thats the main thing. You should have seen the very first scanner I had. it was 6" deep and took up half my desk. When it got going you thought they were digging the round up outside and it took ages to do just 1 A4 sheet. Those were the days, when you got excited if you PC had a 10 megabyte hard disk inside.

ellejay
13-02-2006, 05:38 PM
Apparently there is a transport lock and they think it may have been knocked.
Anyway-its working again, thats main thing.
Right, ive posted my monthly trades and updated tracker.

Mother Duck
13-02-2006, 11:04 PM
Never got my me time yesterday! Sorting out problems for my family and told them to give me some space now!! :angry:
Glad scanner working again Lisa! Aren't we lost without all the paraphernalia now?

No contest! You must have loads and loads of stash and a V&T would work wonders! Can you send me one over the internet do you suppose?

The tracker thread is for me and yourselves to keep track of what has been sent and rec'd. Just makes it easier being in the one thread, this one is for thanks and pics for what you get. :D

Well I wouldn't mind going back a few years, but not to 14, don't want to go through all those exams and teenage years again. :D

JAY!! yours are on the way as of yesterday!! After numerous arguments on the phone with tradespeople I said blow you and went to the PO!! Now sitting in and waiting AGAIN!! Do you have this problem in UK?

Jay
21-02-2006, 11:46 PM
oh yes.
My washing machine broke recently and it took three weeks to sort it. And they didn't listen to me when I said they could come and fix it. They think no-one else has a life.
Look forward to the card arriving.

Received a fabulous card from Laura today - it's gorgeous! Will scan and upload later - on my way to dentist soon as one of my crowns decided it wanted to see the Big Ouside World :( (and, of course, it's one of my top front teeth so I'm not a pretty sight at the moment!)

Mother Duck

Thanks Caz - got it stuck back on ok. I have my dentists well-trained. every time I start at a new practise (through moving house, not being fussy!) I always go in saying "I know I'm a grown woman, I know it's stupid, but I'm Petrified!" They're ever so nice to me after that :)

"awake but havent a clue whats happening"

that's a normal state for my sister :)


one of my dentists used to slap a sticker on my chest for being a brave girl - not sure if he was being nice or pervy ........ I was in my thirties!!

I'm sure I've just seen a list published by Michael showing whos sent to who this month and I can't find it now. It reminded me that I hadn't added the card I received from Mother Duck. I still get muddled with all the ATC threads. :blink:

I'm glad someone else does because I do too!! :blink: We need to bring some together somehow I feel. :unsure:

Found it. Of course it's the tracker thread isn't it? :) Doh

I liked it when the pictures of the cards for trade were actually on the trading thread. I find it off putting having to go back and forth.

Jay

It doesn't take much to confuse me and I know Michael did a guide to the threads, but I'm never sure I'm in the right place.

Mother Duck

Mike is doing a great job but it can't be easy for him co ordinating all the threads either.

TheSnowQueen
27-02-2006, 01:41 PM
LOL,

I'm getting there, might reduce the number next month to make it easier.
How about?

1. Monthly Tracker thread, for monthly swap
2. Picture only thread, this is where you put your ATC's to trade.
3. A chat thread, this will cover both the swap and general chat.

Comments??

Oh no, I feel terrible now. I wasn't having a go. Mike is doing an excellent job. I just meant that I get muddled with where I need to put stuff sometimes, what with monthly swaps and trades. It wasn't meant as a dig Michael. Sorry.
