Anybody interested in swapping Christmas Cards with our online friends. I was thinking if each of us sent our addresses to one person then that person sent out a list to everyone with addresses. Then each person sent one either homemade or store bought Christmas card to everyone else. I love Christmas cards and their tidings of Joy and Seasons Greetings.

I'm up for that if others are interested-might be the only cards I send out this year...way behind on those!! Don't have them addressed yet, let alone mailed out.....I'm usually ready to mail the day after Thanksgiving

Folk lore, voodoo, whatever works to get that baby out!!!! 2 contractions since having her membranes stripped and nothing since!!! I feel for her-she's so tired of people at work asking her if she's "still here". Does she look like she's still at work? LOL

Funny you mentioned this........... I am just getting all of mine finished and was thinking about each and everyone of you that has been so nice to me this year and thinking if I had the addresses this would be the time to do something nice back, (like the Christmas card idea). Count me in. I have some of the address's already but not everyone's.

I really need to get to sewing but I can't get jump started for some reason. I have some done but not even close to all I have to do.

Lyn I feel for her I really do. That's miserable when it's time and you are still there with no baby yet. I went over 5 days with my first one and it was the longest 5 days of my life I think. Please let us know when she does finally drop that baby so we can coo and Ahhhh over him/her.
I'm regressing back into my youth, I just have to figure out how I'm going to convience my body to come along with me.

Oh No Lynn! :shock: Maybe my wishes for her to have a long and healty preganancy backfired. I still think I would rather be in her shoes then go through what I did. I'll start wishing for a quick delivery.:bg:

Ok if you email me your name, address and username then we can get a list together. <email address removed for privacy> is my email address. I can't wait I love cards.

You will be expected to send a Christmas card to all the other swap participants to a maximum of 10. If there are more then ten participants we will split the list up a bit but everyone will still get a max of ten cards and will send 10 cards.

I think everyone should send there address to me by December 5 which is Tuesday.

Hi Sherri

I think this sounds like fun...but i don't quite get it...are these cards to be signed to each person ...or are they for us to keep for another occasion,,,Either way I don't care ...I just want to be sure what I am doing...LOL...I'm a little slow.



Anyway count me in...

So what is the deal Sherri. How many cards do we send? For how many sign up? Let me know I'm in if you hadn't counted me yet. That should be easy to do.

I mailed mine out day before yesterday, and I got Bren's the same day. Emily is back in the hospital this time for the flu. Poor baby she's had a hard start here on this Earth. She'll be in there a few days I guess. They have her on oxygen and breathing treatments.

Hey all you :Canada:'s. I was a bonehead :whacky: and forgot to add the extra postage to get it across the border. I got one back today and I am sure the other will be back shortly. I will add the extra postage and get them right out.
