Me, ME! Please sign me up Carla and thanks so much for taking care of this swap.

[AnnBK]

I am definitely in. Choosing a theme...hard!! For some reason, I'm gravitating towards hardware, found, and reused.

[teecee]

Great list of topics to choose from! I'm afraid I'll have to take a break for this round. Maybe I'll be able to participate next time around. Hope you all have fun!

[butterflykisses]

I am in . Will be past my DMIL'S 80th birthday party activities by then. I am kind of liking the hardware found and used too Ann.

[Bride]

I'm in! I like Vintage, Quotes or Hardware!

[CRS]

We'll miss you, Theresa!!

[scrapper11]

Thanks Carla for adding me

I'll go for "PETS"

[Molczan]

I'm in too! We have to pick a favorite out of such a great list? Hmmm. I'm liking the hardware and animals themes the best, but I'm good with any of them.

[MariJ]

I like quotes, growth and hardware -- but can someone elaborate on hardware? I'm not really sure what that means.
But, I'm good with any on the list. Except I don't have a pet.

<deeeep breath>

I'm in. (I think)...lol I have always wanted to do this but I think I am intimidated by these tiny things...

So yes. I'm in. I vote for happiness or quotes...

That was my idea, Marilyn. I was thinking of those interesting little bits and pieces you find in a hardware store: brads, wire, tape, etc. Your entire card wouldn't have to be made from hardware, but just include some. I'm good with any of the other ideas.

[CRS]

YAY CONDA!!! You'll love them, I promise!

[CRS]

I don't have any inspiration for any of the themes yet, but for hardware, you could use anything that would be found in the hardware store. Just remember that they can't be too bulky because of the mail!

Oh, cool Ann - I get it now, thanks! I like that idea even more now, it can go in a lot of different directions.

YAY, Conda.. Warning - prepare to be hooked. I resisted Lei for a long time, but once I started I never looked back and have enjoyed it all. I don't think you'll be sorry - the cards are fun.

[butterflykisses]

I never have inspiration until I start . Conda, Carla is right it is FUN to work in miniature.

[Eden]

Hi Carla, I've never done one of these but I'm keen to have a go. Friends, please point me in the direction of some background reading! As I'm new to this, my theme votes are offered without much thought: "Animals" and "Vintage" or "Vintage Animals" . Teehee.

[AnnBK]

Yeah, Eden!! You will love this swap, but be advised that it is addictive. For details about ATC's, look here:http://scrapgirls.net/forum/topic/50105-atc-instructions/

[Florida granny]

I'm going to have to sit this one out, Carla. But I'll look forward to seeing what everyone comes up with!

[CRS]

We'll miss you Diane! Welcome aboard, Eden!

[AnnBK]

Now I'm thinking vintage hardware fantasy pets in black and white with a quote. I really need something to do to keep my mind from wandering!
