Several people know some of the things that have been happening lately, but I am doing much better now. Thank you for your kind thoughts and prayers.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I wanted to update you with the cover of the book and some sample pages to follow. For those of you who have been keeping up to date in the forums, the book has been pushed back to the end of December/start of January. We had a few artists go A-wall and was wanting everyone to get a fair shot. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I have heard so many wonderful things about many of you being featured in shops, galleries, articles and that is SOOOO AWESOME to hear. I would like to update and link those bits of good news (on my to do list), as well as post some photos from the conference and students using the book from the Spring. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I hope everyone is doing well and that the holiday season is treating you well. It is a busy, but welcomed time of year as things are &quot;settling down&quot; a bit more for me. Please do not hesitate to contact me. The best way is though my e-mail art2theextreme@yahoo.com or an Etsy convo (but those can get buried fast since I receive so many a day).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;For those Etsians who purchased and AD space, here is the layout of the page!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 277px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEknvN7lyJ1NhXIUNIeWKrhx65_8F6q2ES0uM5bC2wOvWfNTIh84NM0DJARBuf48nhagIL3ThUCi1Wc1TRYQnDg-P6EDOHyk_-ykZKsLoZBfW5uxT6HNangXX4rVYEUGo3zvwkiPouO6w/s320/screen-capture-7.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277180118929617634&quot; /&gt;</description><link>http://createcollecttrade.blogspot.com/2008/12/official-cover-for-fall-2008-book.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Art2theextreme)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdobgbnA0guN9rdUIavXRR4Aj9WJ32zdylUIAr52Cq-JaxYOYFiBzjTwl9g3jJh3Ijd35zy4blwfD44_9-M0kJQM4T9SrNbW6ZN7PgQbOO_YBmx6QFW4RhQGy7kp26SNCRu-kgBdTR5FA/s72-c/Fall2008Cover.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>7</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8937939478525153419.post-3925942130732856819</guid><pubDate>Sat, 04 Oct 2008 15:53:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-10-04T09:06:59.584-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">lolalynn</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">pages</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">treasury</category><title>The Fall 2008 Edition is now in the Works...</title><description>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyQJGPzObL6TmoXfOoaUZZXX2tqZ5mxh5435Djgl6oizjoBpPJnTjtMCwla02sbOphUPGYbeJUPkaovI90LZKh1HvILkCGr9zCtLAZe-yXJ1TA-TTKNHkHDC8PW_uk9YX_VP-X09HAd_M/s1600-h/ACEO+Treasury.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyQJGPzObL6TmoXfOoaUZZXX2tqZ5mxh5435Djgl6oizjoBpPJnTjtMCwla02sbOphUPGYbeJUPkaovI90LZKh1HvILkCGr9zCtLAZe-yXJ1TA-TTKNHkHDC8PW_uk9YX_VP-X09HAd_M/s320/ACEO+Treasury.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5253330475151819506&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Hi Everyone!&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The book has 21 artists featured in it so far!

I had written a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.donorschoose.org/homepage/main.html&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;DonorsChoose.org&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; grant (my first one ever) and it was funded by the&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt; Prout Family and Robert Hanley&lt;/span&gt;, CEO of &lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.homevideostudio.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 153);&quot;&gt;Home Video Studio&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This fun-filled art night lasted from 5:30-7:30 with a special presentation half-way though the night and a DVD slideshow IMOVIE that I put together of all the students artist trading cards. 22 Different families totaling over 70 people showed up for this event throughout the night. We even had a reporter present (who some how began calling these artist painting trading cards?!) that took photos that made the front page. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It was so nice to hear from all of the parents and see the younger students making the ATCs (because I do not teach K-2 to make these yet). One family even brought a huge box full of playing cards, old book pages, puff paint, sharpies, and more to go above and beyond in making and trading their cards! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Many of you are a fan of &lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://createcollecttrade.blogspot.com/2008/04/art-rocks-and-so-do-you.html&quot;&gt;Garrett, the artist of the &quot;Flip Funnies&quot;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; as he calls them. He is the student that made the &quot;Wizard&quot; card that is one of my favorites and many of your favorites as well. His mom shared some very kind words with me and told me how they were looking at the blog and book online and saw his art all of the sudden. It came as a huge surprise and she told all of her family about it! She also shared with me that he had begun making a series&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; of Presidential Flip Funnies. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I got to see one he sent to his artist (June, I think you were paired with him). It was of Abe Lincoln and had two pieces. The first one was a 2.5&quot;x3.5&quot; rectangle covering the actual card with an oval in the middle, revealing a small portrait of Abe. I cannot remember what it said, but it was funny. When you lift up the top paper with the oval, it revealed him wearing a dress. I could not believe the creativity and thought put into it. I have been very impressed by his work and several other students who have begun their own series or imitation of the actual artists featured in the book.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;That meant so much to me to hear from her and the positive impact this project has on the students. To see something like this at such a young age and be recognized for their talents...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;This photo is of an ACEO donated by etsian &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=715&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 153);&quot;&gt;Jelene&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.

I have a lot to share, but need to really understand what I can and cannot post before putting them up. I have blurred out faces and had all the parents sign permission slips saying the photos could be used, but want to be extra sure when dealing with students, so pardon the blurs. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block;

Only 7 more school days left!!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It has been a very busy last few months. In addition to putting together the book, I have also been working for a company in NY and became S.C. Johnson&#39;s (A Family Company) Crafting Expert on their Clean Home Journal Site!!! This is HUGE for me! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cleanhomejournal.com/view.aspx?pid=575&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Check it out here!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cleanhomejournal.com/view.aspx?pid=566&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;This Month&#39;s Crafting Challenge&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Being a first year teacher, I have also gotten sick several times, including catching pink eye twice in the last 4 weeks :(.  Luckily I am feeling much better.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The first batch of books was shipped out last Friday and the rest go out on Monday. If you live in the US, you should be getting your copy in the mail by the end of the week at the latest! Thank you for those who have been patiently waiting through this process.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Many of you have been asking about another edition. The response has been HUGE so far with a waiting list of over 40 new artists who want to participate in the next book. Many of the current artists have asked to be in it again, so you will have first &quot;dibs.&quot; It will be awesome to see some new faces as well!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My goal is to put out two this upcoming school year. One book in the fall and one in the spring. Now that I have worked out most of the kinks and learned the process, this should go very smoothly and much quicker. I will be presenting this at the AEAI Art Education Conference in November as well.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This Wednesday is Central&#39;s Family Artist Trading Card Night where families will be learning about ACEO/ATC art and be making cards to trade with other families. My 3rd, 4th, and 5th, graders will be helping teach the younger grades since they have never made ATCs before. Families will trade with each other at the end of the night. Students from the book will also be recognized and copies will be passed out for students. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This night was made possible by a grant though &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.donorschoose.org/homepage/main.html&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;DonorsChoose.org&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and by the wonderful supporters who donated copies of the books for the students.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://createcollecttrade.blogspot.com/2008/05/updates-and-news.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Art2theextreme)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfilbwZrZ9MTHk23xXA-iNX1vs8qDZNPQtWr2Jn_BFJuGhTzWx7bAka4YdHHA4U65RlJmPQVLqpkZJjX8XBThy5XvqXWcg6SySNtqwd169Hc_8CxVHRcM4RlrrnZLj26dCKf3HMBYJIso/s72-c/atc+random.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>4</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8937939478525153419.post-2436961457015424795</guid><pubDate>Sat, 19 Apr 2008 14:42:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-12-11T06:13:10.835-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">donorschoose.org</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">orders</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">student ATC</category><title>Art Rocks!

Here are some weekly updates for those who have been reading! I also posted some student ATCs for your viewing pleasure!&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I had recently sent in a proposal at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.donorschoose.org/homepage/main.html&quot;&gt;donorschoose.org &lt;/a&gt;to buy supplies for the ATC/ACEO Family Art Night coming up in may (where the book is officially being introduced). It was funded in less than 24 hours!!!!!!! In doing this, I earn points and when I get six, I can put in a special proposal (to buy books for the students&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrsZkt1j335VFJlkI6MV-pU6bBMH5FUWhRuxrD24-Mxi8VSz2DGaSpAUxqrifQKVdsTB2EJdF6hwyq1jVkuRRALWMTf00zf67UgkX6GFofKVKFJQv2yKLm3C6r-XOdqkA9Td42Rm1StjI/s320/AbbyP+5b.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190969215857269890&quot; /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;This ATC was created by Abby, who is 11.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A little more than a week ago, I put in the request for the first few copies of the book and hopefully I will physically have them on Monday or Tuesday. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;text-align: left;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; &quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqDR1SICM8Z0Kwrrx9tnarqfu9s1huiYxqfPyJCm-e84Oc0dvhWbfAohweimsCW288lBPGplzO3zBXwMrFTP95ZfPPPl7qq-uwFfHa2iVovjMeg7Y_oIgg744f6DLy0eoc3Ghe_xYANL4/s320/Garett+4S.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190969061238447218&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;This ATC was created by Garrett, who is 9 years old.

I ordered a few sample copies to make sure things turn out ok before I order the bulk amount, but for those who ordered, it should be in the mail to you in the next two weeks or so. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Thank you to everyone who has supported this project and even bought multiple copies! The book took about a month longer to make than I anticipated due to a few unfortunate events and some late information, but everything looks SOOOO amazing. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My sad news is that I did not get the grant (first year teachers do not typically get this one, but it was great practice at least for next time). Now, I am looking into a grant that can at least provide a class copy for me to use with classes. I am writing a &lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.donorschoose.org/homepage/main.html&quot;&gt;donorschoose.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; project proposal to help fund our Family Art Night, where the book will be introduced and students will be able to make ACEOs/ATCs with their families to trade and collect. I am hoping when this proposal is funded, that I can earn enough &quot;points&quot; on their site to make a special request to fund more student copies of the book. It is odd the way that site works because you can only order certain things from certain sites. Baby steps...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I submitted my proposal to present the book and a presentation about ACEO/ATC art at the 2008 &lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.aeai.org/&quot;&gt;AEAI &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Art Education Association of Indiana conference, which will be in November. I am excited to present (it will be my first time).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The students are keeping my on my toes about the book and ask me every day about who is in it and when they can see it. Currently, students are preparing letters and ATC art to send to those artists and Etsians who donated cards back in January and February. Be on the look out for those in the next month or so if you were one to donate!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Please let me know if you have any questions, if you are interested in donating to this project, or participating in the next edition!

If you are ordering 3 or more extra (if you are carrying them in stores, family, passing out, etc. contact me for the base rate of the book!). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Please continue to promote this project!

Collect. Trade. A Collection of Artist Trading Cards for Artists and Students.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I am looking for ACEO and ATC Artists to feature in the book. Since this is the first volume, &lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;I am looking for 5-7 artists willing to donate and image or two for a &quot;mock copy&quot; of the cover. In exchange, I will be giving one page of free promotion in the book with site links, text, and images of ACEOs/ATCs for those that give me permission to use the photo for the mock cover. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This past month, I recently posted &lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.etsy.com/forums_thread.php?thread_id=5401977&quot;&gt;this thread &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;about ACEO artists donating a card or two to help teach my 3-5th graders about ATCs. The response so far has been HUGE! I have been so impressed by these artists and the response from the art community that this project has snowballed into a even larger one beyond my imagination. I will be receiving media coverage of this project at my school during the main part of the project in the spring that will include a ATC Family Art Night where students and families will gather together to view artworks of ACEO and ATC artists (you) and create/trade ATCs of their own.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Art within the community and reaching out to students and families is a HUGE opportunity for any artist to be a part of.  I hope that in reading this blog, you become inspired to help out to  either by simply spreading the word of this project, donating an  ATC/ACEO, or become part of the book.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;WHERE I SEE THE PROJECT IN THE COMING MONTHS AND YEAR...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I will be attending a statewide and hopefully national Art Educator COnvention and Conference in the Fall of 2008 and Spring of 2009. My goal is to present this project and book with the eventual goal of turning this into a national contest for visual art students. I cannot tell you what a huge promotional tool this would be for an artist as well!.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Please follow these links for contacting myself and more information!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.etsy.com/forums_thread.php?thread_id=5438866&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;ETSY THREAD ABOUT THE BOOK&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.etsy.com/forums_thread.php?thread_id=5401977&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;ETSY THREAD ABOUT THE ATC TRADING EXPERIENCE BETWEEN ARTISTS AND STUDENTS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5429966&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;MY ETSY SHOP&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://art2theextreme.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;MY BLOG&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My e-mail: art2theextreme@yahoo.com&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://createcollecttrade.blogspot.com/2008/01/free-promotional-opportunity-for-aceo.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Art2theextreme)</author><thr:total>4</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
