The tag swap is just about to lift off!

We're getting our tags together to be mailed out to our partners on June 1st! I'm so excited! I love doing tags, and cannot wait to see what goodies everyone comes up with. Be sure to check back and see all the lovely tags people have made for their two partners.

We're now in talks to figure out what we're going to be doing for June-July, July-August. This year is truly zipping by at the speed of light.

The tag swap is upon us!

We're all tied up for the tag swap! Partners will be announced soon! We're just in the process of deciding whether we want to do one partner or two. This is going to be so much fun.

So these are some funky tags I made up tonight for the photo for the front of the group. I love playing with text bacgrounds. The thing I find hardest about tags is that I can do a beautiful face on the tag, but then I'm completed stumped about what to do on the other side. By trying to figure that out, I usually ruin the whole tag!

I liked the way the fronts of these turned out though!

Tag art swap! Come join us!

Greetings fellow artisans! T'is time we get this ball a'rollin. We've been slow for too long and I'm hoping to spark a lot of creative energies into the group. We're gearing up for a tag art swap and I hope you'll think of joining us! I love doing tag art love getting tag art to see what other craft people have come up with. This tag art swap is not themed, meaning wild abandon creation is par for the course! Members who need tags can contact me on group and I'll supply them with tags. Be prepared! Tag art will be showing up here shortly!

Swapping Resumes!

It's about time! We've been awfully quiet on the AB EVE front. Holidays crept in and stole precious crafting time. People are slowly shaking off the hibernating bear syndrome and Spring is IN THE AIR! We started the year off with a 2x2 chipboard swap!


I'm also hosting a game in connection with the swap! Match and WIN! Any member of AB EVE can play and the winner with the most correct choices will win an extra small flat rate box crammed full of artsy bits and bobs from my extensive collection.


ALL MEMBERS WELCOME TO PLAY FOR THE PRIZE!

ANSWER NOW, you'll have until Wednesday to play!

NEW HAPPENINGS AT AB EVE!

WOW! It's been awhile since things have been buzzing along at Absolutely Everything. We've got some great swap ideas coming up however and would love it if you'd join us. Our group swaps art of all kinds! Atcs, handmade postcards, altered art, art pins, handmade toys, art dolls, chunky books and so much more! If you like doing art and getting to know great artists, come on over and join us!

We're now starting up a themed front page. Every other Monday a theme is chosen. From that Monday to the following Saturday, members have the opportunity to load their artwork into the specially marked folder and have the chance to be picked for the front page! We're hoping it'll be a smashing success and bring lots of lovely artwork to brighten up the opening page.

We're also gearing up for a great swap. An Absolutely Anything Treasure Swap. This swap is limited to 10 participants. Each participant makes 9 items and sends 1 item to every other participant! What a great way to share the creative spirit!

LUCKY DIP EXPLAINED

For those of you who are new or might need a refresher on what the
Lucky Dip is. Here's the Lucky Dip recap from Sarah. I'll be taking
her place in assigning partners however.

SO read on if you wanna be in the know! :)

For everyone wondering what the blimmin heck the lucky dip is, here's
how it works :)
Dont forget to shout out if you have any questions, and somebody will
dive in to answer them :)

Basically the Lucky Dip is held on the 8th and the 22nd of every
month.

If you would like to enter, all you have to do is upload a scan/photo
of what you want to swap and put it into the lucky dip folder here in
the photo section of the group.
You can enter as many or as few things as you like.
And you can upload whenever you want.

Then on the draw date, i put all the items in a paper bag (the height
of sophistication i know, lol), and pull out two at a time, those
people will swap those items before the next draw date. The draw is
based on the items rather than people, so if you put more than one
thing in the folder, you'll more than likely be swapping one thing
with one person, and another thing with a different person etc.

You can use any art of yours, any theme, subject, size, medium, etc

Its pretty straight forward, all you really need to worry about is
putting items into the folder and waiting for the lucky dip partners
to be announced by moi, then sending your things to your partner and
waiting for yours to arrive from them :)

Oh yes, and all players are required to post when they send and
receive so i can keep track of things. You have to send your items to
your partner by the next draw date at the latest.
