This swap was sooooo amazing that I just have to share it with you all!

At 1:00 pm on Saturday, we held an official LTC swap for the attendees at We Live and Breathe Letterboxing event. We scheduled this time to meet so that everyone didn't have to carry their LTC's all over camp all day.

At 1:00 on the nose people started coming into the lodge with their boxes, binders, card holders, and even a suitcase full of LTC stuff. Kreepy Kelli, that was so funny to see you wheel your suitcase in!

It was an LTC swappin frenzy and when the dust finally cleared about an hour later, I came away with a Velveeta Cheese box full of swaps!

Everyone laid out on the tables what they had to trade and swappers strolled down and picked out what they wanted. There were even small children anxious to get in on the fun and swap their cards.

We had people come in who were unfamiliar with LTC's and wanted to learn more, three-ring binders set out of swapper's collections for everyone to see, the AMAZING periodic table on display, and a display of all the different ways you can make an LTC. Thank you to all of the contributors of the LTC display for L&B. It was also AMAZING to see what people have done.

A big thank also goes out to those who contributed stamps, embellishments, paper and everthing else so that some could sit down and make LTC's to swap with and a bigger thank you to Mama B of Balladone Bunch and Tyra of Murray Herd for spearheading the LTC making event.

I had a ton of fun!

I agree! It would be hard to choose my favorite part of L&B, but this swap session would be right up there at the top of the list of potentials. Thank you to everyone for being so kind to Buggaboo and trading for her cards. You all made her feel very special!

Oh... man, I sure wish I could have gone to it... =(

But even if I had the chance, I couldn't really have traded much: I only had 10 cards in my binder...

Oh well, maybe next year! =D
