Introduction: Hi There! Welcome to our group! I love making and trading ATCs and thoroughly enjoy meeting other like-minded people!
Are you interested in altered art? Altered journals? Tell us!: Yes, love altered books and journals and have many to share with you. We have them at each meeting so feel free to browse.
Are you new to ATCs or have you been sawpping for a while? What do you most want to get out of participating in this group?: I've been swapping almost a year now and love trading locally and internationally. Have met the nicest people!

“ To meet new artists and crafts people, to get inspired, to share a laugh and tell a story. Come on, you're not too old to play! Bring an exacto knife, cutting mat, or scissors, magazine pictures you want to share, etc. You do not have to have ATCs to swap; however, it would be nice to do a large swap at our next meeting. Cut up cereal boxes 2 and 1/2 inches by 3 and 1/2 inches -- that's the exact size of an ATC -- and the cereal box is a good weight to use for collage or painting. Make 5 you'd like to swap and bring them with you. Also bring the ones you want to keep -- it's always inspirational to see everybody's ideas. ”

“ Hi Brenda, I haven't been to any mtgs yet. I'm a bit confused about the next meet. Can you just send me the details about it - I believe it is the Day of the Book Festival. Is that correct? And has a particular day of the month been established for regular meets or is the date decided each month?
please send me info on the Day of the Book Festival (time and address) I seem to have lost the e-mail thread. thanks, Carole ”
