A big HOORAY to Missa2U (Meliissa) for her alphabet swap! This was my first ATC swap (my first ATCs, too!) and she was very supportive and encouraging. Even though swaps were still coming in to her right at the deadline, she had them all swapped and postal in record time! They came home safe and sound and super fast!
Thanks, Melissa, for getting me hooked on ATCs!

Paola is Presented for Outstanding Hostess Recognition
Many many thanks to a most fantastic hostess - Paola (Sama). I have been in so many of her swaps over the past year or so. Most recently, I was in her Punch It Out swap, her Tutti Frutti swap, and her What's Your Favorite Pastime swap. Each one was delightful!
Paola is an exceptional hostess who makes swapping fun. Not only have I received a lot of wonderful cards from her swaps, as well as some really awesome prizes from Paola, but more important than all of that, I've gained a friend! Thank you, Sweet P, my friend! Keep hostessing and I'll keep joining. ;)
I completely agree! I have been in several swaps with Sama - aka Sweet P - and she is a sweet, fun and energetic and talented hostess!! Please check out her swaps!

Using Kelly's now famous word "tritto" to the above two posts...Miss Sweet P is the hostess with the mostest...her swaps are fun...chatty...and entertaining. You join as a stranger in some cases and end up with a very good friend in Sweet P and also with all of the people in the swap...she makes you feel so at home and special.....the descriptions of the cards....wooowhee....our girl can describe things..(Sweet P...keep thinking about that book)....so, if you are looking for a great swap to join....you won't go wrong joining one of hers....

I want to recognize swain78 - Sheena - for being such a terrific hostess!!! I was in her very first swap as hostess and she did a wonderful job. She gave cool prizes along the way, always was kind and sweet, answered our questions promptly, and swapped the cards back quickly, even with it being a very large swap. Thank you, Sheena! You did an outstanding job as hostess!!!

I have had so much fun with all the wonderful things Jeanette has listed above but also, have met the most wonderful people through this swap and I can't say enough on how good that is... Kelly is a beautiful person inside and out and I am so glad to be able to share things with her. She has always made me feel welcome and special...thanks my friend. I will gladly join Kellys swaps!!!
TOTALLY in agreement here!!...Also taking the perfect opportunity to ue THAT word again..the one made FAMOUS by our witty,funny,generous gal Kelly amongst us swapping sisthas lately : ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*TRITTO!!!!!*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wow! I was totally impressed with Jeanette's (Forest Ranger) first swap for forest-related cards. FANTASTIC job keeping things fun, interesting, moving, etc, etc. Really, really good job getting such a great group of folks together! Looking forward to her Forest Winter Wonderland swap over the next few months!!
Thanks so much to Mepylant for hosting the Classic swap -- my first swap AND my first ATCs. She made it so easy, so much fun, and reduced the intimidation factor! I'll never forget it.

I agree. I don't think I've ever participated in a swap that got so big, three total threads were needed to be created to keep the forum from exploding!

Thank you, Bek! I really appreciate you! You and all the other swappers made it easy to be a first-time hostess!!!
I want to give a special Shout out to Our Dear Jeanette as well! Fantastic swap, fantastic organization, communication and Fabulous job making everyone feel loved and special. This is by far the largest swap I've ever been involved in...maybe the largest one on SCS even?? and Jeanette is the BEST!!

I couldn't have said it better, Kadie! Great job, Jeanette!!!
Wow! I cannot even imagine trying to swap out a card swap at the same time as moving!!! But that is exactly what urscrappymama did! She is one fantastic hostess! I loved chatting with her along the way during the swap. She's just so much fun and makes swappers feel comfortable in her swap. Turns out she bought a home and was moving, but still managed to get the cards swapped and back to us. Incredible! Thank you, Scrappy!!!
Jeanette (Forest Ranger) had a fantastic Forest Swap. She obviously inspired people with her praise for their cards as they arrived because the cards I rec'd were great. The little extras she included were very moving also - totally had fun - awesome hostess!

Thank you so much for your kind words, Carey! The forest swappers are such an incredible group. YOU are the ones who deserve recognition. Outstanding job at cardmaking... and wonderful online friends, too! Thank you!!!
Can I also echo how great Jeanette--Forest Ranger--is as a hostess. Her first swap had well over 135 swappers and as noted--three threads!!!! She included prizes along the way and also had some great little surprises in my return and in all of them from what I heard! Her second swap is pushing 64 swappers right now and I am sure will be well over 100 as it ends. She is a great hostess and such a sweet swapper too! HUGSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I would like to recognize some wonderful hostesses whose swaps I participated in over the past few months. All swapped promptly and had excellent communication throughout the swap.
Owenandcole (Jackie) - Masculine Any Occassion Cards. My first SCS swap and it got me hooked. Thanks, Jackie!
Debbee and robin caron (cohostesses) - Favorite Color Combo & Favorite SU Set
stampin_in_atlas (Jen Z.) and nutswithtwins (Patti) (cohostesses) - SU Paper Sample Ring. If you want a laugh, swap with these two; they have crazy fun.
leacarol - Birthday Card Swap.
Sweettata (Lanette) - Card/Stationery Gift Sets. Lots of fun, games, and prizes in Sweettata's swaps, not to mention beautiful creations.
pandora71071 (Renee) - Quick Meal Recipes 6x6. Her first time hostessing and she did a wonderful job, and the recipes were great too!
stampinot (Julie) - Flower Pot Cards. Sounded scary, but she provided a link to an excellent tutorial.
LKW (Lisa) - 3x3 Naturals & In Color Follow-Up Swap. Her first time hostessing, and she did a great job.
Carissa Crops - 2x2 SU Paper Ring Swap. This one is still on-going, but it's a big job for the hostess and she's doing a great job keeping everyone posted.
With all those good experiences, I'm off to look for more swaps to join!

Barb, you are so sweet. Thank you for the compliments! I have been in so many of your wonderful swaps, and have learned much about hostessing from YOU!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!
I just want to recognize Wunderkrafts for a wonderful swap she just hosted! She did a fantastic job keeping us all straight and her swap idea was really cool and different!

Wonderful experience! Come check out her new swap, too - round 2 so the fun can continue! Thank you, Jeanette, for a most fabulous swap and I was honored to be a part of your first card swap! Hugs!!

Kelly, you are such a sweetheart!!! Thank you so much for your kind words and for being in my swaps, too!!! The swappers make the Forest Swaps fun! Love ya!
I participated in a birthday card swap hosted by kafranci (Karen).
I just wanted to say that she did an outstanding job coordinating the swap. It was her way of celebrating her birthday month, so she kept it upbeat and fun.
Three cheers (or more) to Noreen_Ann for hosting a swap with lots of angels and all kinds of complications!!! She kept everyone together and organized, and pulled it off with great skill!
AND I got some absolutely wonderful ATCs, which is just the icing on the cake!
Thanks, Noreen, for your hard work!
Tracey (tdean32) is an outstanding hostess and so deserving of recognition! I was in her Greeting Farm swap. Her swap was fun, she was kind and helpful, and the cards rock! Thanks, Tracey!!!
I'd like to thank Stampinfool for her Sugar Nellie image swap, just received. I don't take part in many swaps as postage is tricky from the UK. Ronda was helpful and kind and figured a way for me to join the fun.
She kept the thread bumped, drummed up plenty of participants and posted my yummy swaps off the minute she had the last swap in her hand.
Thanks Stampin Fool (Ronda) for the great copic friendly image swap. Thanks to you I now have lots of new images to work with. This is my first image swap but it won't be my last.

I wanted to send out a special 'thank you' to Izzysmom, on the "Put some south in your mouth" recipe swap....I ended up taking too many spots and she was so nice to make up a set of cards, so I would not get 'duplicates'..what a sweetie!!
