i know a few years back we had a Christmas Card excahnge.

our family loved getting the Christmas Cards, and displaying them, and praying for the families as we got them. it was just so nice.

so. i was wondering if there is any interest in doing one this year?

i know there may not be interest as i know everyone seems awfully busy, and extra money - even for stamps - is hard to come by this year. but if anyone is interested, i could compile the addresses, etc. i could even limit it to lists of 10 (so you would only be sending to 9 other people) to keep costs down?

let me know.

we have six people in so far - i can wait until...let's see...how about Wednesday?....to close sign ups.

at that time we can see if we will only need one list or not, and i can get the list(s) out by Friday.

everyone who has said they want in, could you PM me your snail mail address?

thanks

I would love to do this. I did it the year we moved to Wales and it was such great fun to receive cards from you all. Are you willing to send one overseas?

Yay!

I'd be willing to send overseas, also, Carole, so you will definitely be able to exchange with a few for sure!!!

Everyone - Please remember to send me your addresses by PM by Wednesday.

Also - please note if you you would be willing to send overseas.

thanks again!

I think if you sign up........you are EXPECTED to send overseas.....just make it part of the requirement for signing up....I found it barely cost more to send one to Carole last time.....though hers was probably late as I put off going to the post office

BUMPING THIS UP!

Come on folks, sign up with us! It was fun to put faces to names when the Christmas photos arrived!!

......oh, and I got lucky last time...some people were already on my card list!

photos are NOT a requirement!      a lot of people do have photos in the card, or as the card - but not everyone - so no need to stress

okay.



i wasn't sure how to say it w/o sounding pushy...but i guess i should have just said it, huh?

i wasn't sure what kind of response i was going to get when i first posted...so i was trying to be very accomadating to everyone....

i am really quite timid, i know some probably find that hard to believe, but just ask Angie

so - okay - it seems sending overseas/international is not that expensive.

and Chari says it is a required part of signing up.
