 NOTE:  If you use cardboard as a base instead of cardstock, or if your ATC art is thick/stiff/heavy, please allow extra postage to help cover the cost of sending your nonmachinable art along.  Thick or stiff art may possibly cost you $1.03, $1.27 or $1.51 to mail to me.  Check with your postal clerk regarding postage costs for your out-going mail.

On the back of each ATC, Include your name and contact info (email address will do) so your eventual recipient can thank you. Put your ATC's in an envelope (side-by-side may be more economical than all bunched together) and send to me by Monday, June 26th.

SWAP DETAILS:

• You may submit as many as five ATC's.  (You will get back the same number you send, each from a different artist)

• Mail your ATC's to your host in an envelope, and your host will mail out the swapped ATC's in the self-addressed envelope you provide.  Let me know if you are running late.

• If you're sending more than one ATC, please insert waxed paper or parchment between the cards so they don't get stuck together in the envelope.
