It's time for our third annual My Stuff / Your Stuff Swap!!

A repost from our first swap:
"One of the benefits of hosting swaps is all the wonderful ephemera that the participants send along with their art. I always get inspired because it makes me think outside of my supply world and the things I usually am drawn to. Some of my favorite pieces have been made almost entirely from someone else's supplies."

We feel the same way and since this has always been a favorite within Paper Traders, let's do it again.

1. Sign up in the database on the main Yahoo site by September 20th. Cathy will randomly assign everyone a partner and post it on the blog as well as the main Yahoo site on September 23rd.
2. By October 4th, mail your partner a #9 or #10 size envelope of supplies and ephemera. Don't buy anything special, just raid your stash!! (Nothing too bulky.)
3. Make your two ATCs using your partner's supplies. Yes, you can incorporate a little of your own supplies in, but really try to use the new supplies to keep the spirit of the swap.
4. Mail out your two ATCs to your partner by October 22nd.
5. Post your ATC in the project album on the Yahoo Swaps site. And please don't forget to mention whose supplies you used in the description.
6. International members welcome. Please let Cathy know if you prefer not to mail internationally.
