My First Swap

Eeeek! I was on a Swap-Bot.com rampage yesterday and after signing up for a couple swaps I decided to also host a swap. I made one called "Cat Lovers ATC's". The participants will create two Artist Trading Cards featuring a cat of some kind (domestic or wild) and send one to each of his/her 2 partners. I swear, when I was typing the description for the swap I didn't even recognize my voice. I totally turned into the old lady who sits at home in her recliner wearing support hose and snacking on wet cat food while watching "Johnny Carson's replacement".

But whatever, I love cats. So sue me. So far 12 people have signed up - awesome! I love reading profiles on Swap-Bot. I get to "meet" sooooo many types of people that I would never normally meet in person. No matter how different someone is from me and the people I normally socialize with, I discover that they all have such interesting lives in their own way. It's really fun and awesome.

That's seriously cool!!! I would sign up but Cats aren't really my thing (unless it's Hello Kitty!) but if you let me know the next time you host I will be sure to consider signing up.
