Ongoing ATC Swap Discussion

[alwaysinmyroom]

You guys are a great source of inspiration and I hope you know that if I list a theme of yours, it is because it is interesting and I want something in that theme!!

Plus, it helps to keep an "older" craftster like me up-to-date on stuff and makes me feel young! lol

I have totally "borrowed" from other people's theme lists -- you gals are all so creative! I always draw a blank when I try to make my list.

Plus, I think as ladies we have the prerogative to change our minds often...

Ahaha!! I love that, it's soo true. I always have problems making my list, that why my list hasn't changed in forever. Though I did add divinations to it after seeing all the amazing divination cards being made!!!

That's pretty exciting! I can't wait to see it.

It's on its way I hope you like it. I'm just bummed I forgot to take pictures before I sent it out.

I change my list almost every time I post.. some come and go..but you can always use a old post also.  Depends on my mood when I post what is added.

I like to change my list every time I claim. Once one of my themes has been claimed I delete it and replace it with something else. Today I had a few more ideas, so I think next claim I make I'm going to change up my list a bit.

Oh, one more question and I apologize in advance if this has already been covered in this thread. I skimmed over it, but I may have missed it if it's been discussed. Can you claim the same person more than once? For example, let's say you claim a participant for a theme. Then later the thread gets stuck in a rut and the last person who posted is someone you've claimed once already, but they have a theme you'd like to work on. Would it be acceptable to claim another one of their themes?

since I am getting to know everyone, I am trying to select different people, but I think I have seen people pick the same person, different theme...hmmm?...I know what you mean--so many interesting themes!

and happy dance--ATC's are starting to show up in my mailbox!!!

[corduroy cat]

yup, you can choose the same person. some people like to do more than 1 atc to save on post

[calluna]

Though you can certainly claim one person as much as you want, in my opinion it's nice to send and receive from as many different people as possible.

I hadn't thought of your approach to the list, KatAutumn (replacing a theme on the list when someone claims it). I know that some people collect cards of a specific theme, and I hope to do that eventually, but so far I don't know what I want to collect! So I keep a very long list without removing much and assume the cards I receive will end up falling under some larger category or theme...But maybe I'll take your approach instead.
