Grp: Jam: September Assignments

Launch gallery slideshow

Swap Homepage:ATC Jam
Group:ATC Jams
Swap Coordinator:Lady (contact)
Swap categories: Artist Trading Card (ATC) 
Number of people in swap:8
Location:International
Type:Type 3: Package or craft
Last day to signup/drop:September 7, 2012
Date items must be sent by:November 21, 2012
Number of swap partners:2
Description:

We each start an ATC Jam of 3 cards, and send it to the first listed partner. When you get your Jam, rate the sender, do your thing & send it to the second partner. When you get a (different) Jam to finish, rate the person you got it from, do your thing & send 2 of the 3 finished cards back to the correct people.

we have at least American, Canadian, and Australian traders in our group. I am hoping the starter sets would reach any partner by Oct. 24th (United Nations Day). Would a last "send by date" of Nov. 10th (to go out to the third partner ) make sense? That would be after two sets of work & 2 mailings. Of course, if everyone lives close, it should be sooner but i am loooking at the "worst case". If not I can extend it. Please rate on the work, not on the time, although do get the starts out as soon as you can, hopefull by 9/17 so we can see how this goes.

partners wont be assigned until after signup, but feel free to start your initial jam set sooner! You will work with 4 other people but my be able to rate two of them.

Comments please! Someone did this on swap-bot this way years ago. If I can find their name again, I will credit them.

Starter set sent to djcamp04, my 1st partner today (9-19-12)

Maybe it's me, but this isn't working. I sent to my first partner, I got a set from my partner and sent it to my second partner. Now I have another set that I got from a partner that I am 2nd on and no one to send to. Now what?

Sounds like I have some unraveling to do... Monday.

In the ideal world, everyone should have sent ONE set to their first partner by now. Hopefully many of us will have received that to be second on, and we're able to rate one partner.

When you have added the second part, send it to your 2nd partner, and mark this swap as "sent".

When you get your 2nd set of 3, it should be ready to finish -- so you will finish it, rate the sender, & have 2 completed ATCs to mail out to the others that worked on that set (their info should be on the back). You would keep one ATC of that set, and 2 other ATCs should invldivdually show up from the other sets you worked on.

I have not yet received a first set.

I made a poor assumption about the way swap-bot assigns partners -- although everyone's name was used twice, they are listed in alphabetical order so if we follow that, some folks would be "2nd" twice and some would be "3rd" twice, so I am trying to adjust some partner assignments - check your email. I wonder if we should set up swaps just so that people cd/ more easily express their interest in a month, but then hand assign and cancel the swap? ... probably I'll just put up a forum post to see who is interested in October starts.

Okay to update group:

I sent a starter set to @jj9jj I then received two sets as the third to complete from Deb/Laura and Laura/Evelyn.

I will be working on these over the next 2-3 days. So i don't have anything to send to my second assigned partner who is @hlwolfe72

OK, I think I have untangled this as simply as possible, especially since I did not realize soon enough! What I have come up with means that I would like evieroz & jj9jj to be 2nd twice & finishers once; also, armadillogal to be a 2nd partner once & a 3rd twice – but let me know if this is a problem! otherwise, sorry & thanks! And lsmahutchin volunteered to start a new set if needed – which it was, so more thanks there!

ORIGINAL PARTNERS 1. lady -->djcamp -->armadillogal 2. armadillogal -->evieroz -->lsmahutchin 3. evieroz -->jj9jj -->kymm9901 4. kymm9901 -->jj9jj -->hwolfe72 5. djcamp04 -->lsmahutchin --> armadillogal

SETS WITH CHANGES 6. lsmahutchin-->evieroz --> (kymm to fwd to) jj9jj 7. hwolfe72 -->(djcamp04 to fwd to) kymm --> (NEW: kymm send to) evieroz 8. jj9jj --> (once rec’d lady will fwd’ed to ) hwolfe72--> djcamp04

  1. (NEW set from) lsmahutchin --> armadillogal --> jj9jj

    So who you can rate may be a bit different than your reality, please be fair. If anyone flakes, I will tear my hair out, uhm figure out what I need to do. I did not look at addresses/countries when I made the changes, if anyone is hit too hard with postage, let me know & I will send you something to try & make you feel better.

hlwolfe72 11/ 2/2012 #

Just wondering where we are on this because I still have not received any sets from this swap!

armadillogal 11/18/2012 #

I finally have all th jams I have sitting here ready to mail plus the starter set I owe Evelyn. So sorry...I just don't think that system worked. I would prefer if someone has a set they want to send to me that they just e-mail me to ask If I want to play. Thanks!

ORIGINAL PARTNERS . lady -->djcamp -->armadillogal armadillogal -->evieroz -->lsmahutchin djcamp04 -->lsmahutchin --> armadillogal (NEW set from) lsmahutchin --> armadillogal --> jj9jj

I am really confused now....all I know is all the above have been sent/rec'd by me...I only have 4 completed jams in my book and 2 of them are not from this group.
