2008 Christmas/Holiday Card Swap... come on sign in ;)

[Husky_mom]

well... it´s THAT time of year again :D... let´s have some fun again!!

Ok I will do the swap . It's great fun. but a few of the rules .

1.- you must have been a Pet talker for at least 3 months as of today. (and I´ll be checking on that one, not only time here but behavior towards others)

2.- If under 16 you must have parents permission (please have parent PM Karen for her phone # ) she has to ok it before you can be added to the list.

3.- you MUST mail to ALL on the list. (so if you are unsure please don´t sign up, it´s frustrating for people to be counting on you to commit and do your part as they did)

Deadline for info Nov 3rd. so you have plenty of time to make up your mind and send me your info. I´ll send the list within a few days after deadline.

There are ways to save and not spend the zillion bucks, you can buy, print or handmake cards... they don´t need to be all that fancy it´s the intention that counts.... just consider swappers from overseas and internationals in which case you might spend a little extra in postage....

last year I think postage for U.S and Canada was .42 cents and to Mexico was .72 (I think )... not sure about overseas... (Belgium, Australia, France, Italy, Germany, etc.) you can check this to get an idea
from USAhttp://www.usps.com/prices/welcome.htm?from=home_wouldyouliketo&page=seepricing
from Canadahttp://www.canadapost.ca/Personal/RatesPrices/Send/LettersDocuments.aspx

take in consideration we´ve had an average of 30-40 people signing up...

The info you need to send me is
Real Name
Address
Email (for list to be delivered to)
Pet talk name
Pet names if you want them added

you can send them to ptcards@gmail (obviously add .com) and I'll put you on the list . I'll up date the list every couple of days.

This is a fun thing so lets keep it that way and every one follow through on it. Oh yeah and you should have them mailed out before christmas, also considering that internationals and overseas might take a whilke longer to arrive so you might wanna send those with more time ahead....;)

any concerns or doubts just let me know, I´m here to help

come on and join this years Card Swap!!.... It´ll be fun!!

Thanks again for organizing this!

[Andie]

Woohoo! I am actually near a computer in time this year. Last year I was like a week late on signing up.

[Cataholic]

Isn't this usually a "sticky"? I know last year I missed it by a few days, and I was appreciative that I was 'allowed' in (and only penalized by one person for my tardiness), I would hate for someone else to miss it, which they probably would if it falls to the second or third page.

[krazyaboutkatz]

You can count me in.:D Even though I've been too busy to post much lately, I'd hate to miss out on this event. I look forward to this every year.:)

[jennielynn1970]

Count me in!!

I'll PM you my info!

[sirrahbed]

Never did this swap before but am looking forward to it!! :D I sent my info via email.

[jazzcat]

Never did this swap before but am looking forward to it!! :D I sent my info via email.
You'll enjoy it Debbie. I've done it three of the past four years and always love getting all the beautiful cards and pictures. I went to a thrift store last year and found a card wreath to display all my cards. I still couldn't put them all in the wreath so I stood the rest of them all around the mantel.

[luckies4me]

I think this year I'll order picture cards. I've never had them done before so hey, might as well try it now. I think I will start sending cards out the last week of November? :)

[Suki Wingy]

Ooh, this is the first time I've felt comfortable doing this! I finally have an address that is ok to send a whole bunch of stuff to. :)

[king2005]

I'm going to have to withdrawl :(
I just spent $210.00 on a new fish filter as mine broke & killed 1/2 the fish in my 90gal tank :(

I'm sorry, but my fishies come first :love:

[sparks19]

[sparks19]

It is fun... I joined last year :D I think i am going to join this year too. I'm going to send the pm off now... I just wanted to check the pricing for all the cards I would need lol

[Suki Wingy]

Is it ok if all of my cards are different? I may draw some by hand and I may get some pictures printed to stick to some card paper and I may use some of my scrapbooking stuff to make some, so they'll all probably be different.

[dukedogsmom]

Add me to the list. I'll send the info within a couple of days. I've just bought all my supplies for them. They're going to be really pretty this year.

I don't think that matters at all! I would love it.

[Suki Wingy]

I'll keep you in mind while I'm drawing my sparkly green and red ponies that I'm sure I'll end up drawing! :) Every time I sit down to draw something it ends up being a horse or a pony head. :rolleyes:

[Husky_mom]

that would be so cool!!... I´ve also made my own but always printed them the same...

red/green ponies... so cute!!... can´t wait to see them when you guys get them ;)

[Suki Wingy]

That's good, then I can work on them a few at a time so it doesn't become a burden. I'll probably be able to get at least one done a school day in between classes without getting bored.

[ILoveMyAbbyGirl]

Agh, can't not do it. It was too much fun! I'm in! =] =]

[luckies4me]

I started working on my cards the other day. I can't wait! :D

[k9krazee]

Okay, I signed up! I'm so excited! :D

[Husky_mom]

last day to sing up!!!.. oops.. sign up... LOL.... LMAO... I can´t believe I wrote that.. LOL.....

[Kfamr]

I really want to sign up but I'm afraid I won't be able to afford it this year. :( Guess I have to decide quickly!

[ramanth]

Email sent. :)

[wolf_Q]

I'm not signing up, but I do plan on sending out some cards...if anyone would like to add me to their list and exchange cards just send me a pm. :)

[Karen]

I really want to sign up but I'm afraid I won't be able to afford it this year. :( Guess I have to decide quickly!

Remember - you can always do postcards instead of cards in envelopes, and save yourself money postage-wise!

[Nomilynn]

I would have signed up this year, but felt that it was a commitment I may not be able to uphold because I'm still unemployed.. so, maybe next year :)

[ChrisH]

Why not create an Christmas e-mail list for those who can't do snail mail for whatever reason? They can be really lovely printed out.

Just a thought

Chris we did that one year. I think it's a good idea.

[Barbara]

Do you think we can get the list before weekend? I would like to start on the cards :D

[krazyaboutkatz]

Do you think we can get the list before weekend? I would like to start on the cards :D

Yes, I was also wondering when we'd be receiving the address list or has the deadline been extended?

[Husky_mom]

I´ll be sending them out today... no worries ;) just need to get to my parents house to organize the final touches and off they go :D

if anyone want to do an alternate email list... please send me your info, and I can arrange that one too... :D

just put email card list on teh subject please ;)

thank you all for joining!!


ETA: SENT!!... please check you info and let me know of amy corrections if need be... thanks!!

[Suki Wingy]

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Got the list!! My address is correct :)

Thank you for doing this, Isabel!!

[sirrahbed]

[Barbara]

And yes Isabel- even if you can't send I want to send to you :)

[jazzcat]

Got the list too and my info is correct. Isabel, I'd like to send you one too. Is your address still the same from last year's swap?

[Husky_mom]

awww.. thank you guys... yeah my name wasn´t there as I didn´t joined this time :(

yes my address hasn´t changed from last year... if you´d like mine and don´t have I can send it ;)

thanks... but really don´t have to... :)

[mina'smomma]

I haven't got my list yet. :confused:

[Husky_mom]

I haven't got my list yet. :confused:

sent!! ;)

[RICHARD]

I started on my cards and addressed the first one.


HM,
YOU DIDN'T JOIN?

Thanks for your hard work, You'll get a card from me.:D

[kt_luvs_kitties]

I cant believe I missed this! :(

Hope everyone has FUN anyways!:D

[Felicia's Mom]

My cards are all finished, except for the postage stamps.:)

[RICHARD]

Got the international cards out today and some others...:D

I always start with the far away ones and work my way closer to home!


http://zip4.usps.com/zip4/welcome.jsp
A nice zip code finder!

[krazyaboutkatz]

Well, I've been very lazy and I haven't started any of them yet.:o I hope to be able to finish all of the international cards this weekend though.

[Freedom]

Working on my list!

Wenisrubber's zip code didn't come through correctly. Should be 97478

LabLoverKEB - you only provided your last initial, not last name. Have you done this before? Will the post office deliver? Or did you mean to include it? I don't know what to do on this one!

[Reachoutrescue]

With me being away...I missed this year! I am sorry. I hope all have fun and get some nice cards!!!

[Casper]

Goodness, I feel like such a slacker! I'm going to get to work on my cards right away. :-)

A quick question first, how long do you estimate it takes for the cards to get to international PTers?

[Freedom]

Depends on the country. Mexico, Guatamala, probably 6 weeks. Europe is via air maila nd quite fast, a week?

I already received my first card! From England, from one of my mum's friends. She still thinks they send the mail by ship, and is always the first one I receive. :)

[Barbara]

I'll send the first ones next week from London. In Germany we have that stupid rule that cards that are bigger or smaller than standard cost about double. Now all non-EU countries cost already abour 1.50 standard, so the other formats (which occur often in X-mas cards) would be 3 € per card!
As I am in London next week I'll send them from there;)

[Casper]

Depends on the country. Mexico, Guatamala, probably 6 weeks. Europe is via air maila nd quite fast, a week?

Thank you! I plan on sending out cards Tuesday or Wednesday if all goes well. :)

[Freedom]

done!

[krazyaboutkatz]

I finished all of my international cards on the list and a few that weren't on the list as well. I plan on mailing them out tomorrow morning.:)

Then I plan on doing a few cards each night from the list until I'm done. I don't want to mail these out too early so I'll probably wait until after the Thanksgiving holidays before I mail them.;)

[RICHARD]

Dang, I hate being a guy!

I have to do all the stuff that I could share with my wife or SO....

LOL, Mom would do the writing and dad would lick the envelopes.

So I sent y'all some DNA along with the card!

NOW, THAT SHOULD WRECK YOUR CHRISTMAS SPIRIT!:D:rolleyes::eek:

I have a handful to go and dropped off a few yesterday, did more last night and have more or less 10 to go!:D

------------------------

Next year can we start the swap in JULY?:D

[Catty1]

Oh, RICHARD, you tart! Sharing your DNA with the whole world! How are ANY of us supposed to feel special??? :p:D

[RICHARD]

Ignore the man behind the curtain.............. It's the way you want to clone it.:eek::rolleyes::o

[anna_66]

Well, I received my first card...thanks Richard! (loved the Tony pop up:D)

I haven't even started on my cards:eek:

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

A week is standard:)

[Freedom]

I mailed all the out of country ones yesterday. Will hold the rest until after Thanksgiving.

[RICHARD]

Well, I received my first card...thanks Richard! (loved the Tony pop up:D)

I haven't even started on my cards:eek:

DUDE! Glad you enjoyed it. It took me about 10 minutes to 'mount' him

[Husky_mom]

So I sent y'all some DNA along with the card!



Sharing your DNA with the whole world!

.... I think he ´s not SHARING his DNA.... this is this plan to dominate the world...:eek::eek:

sending samples for lil Richards all over the world.... LOL :p;)

[Cincy'sMom]

. It took me about 10 minutes to 'mount' him
There is something soooo wrong it that!! But it is a family site so I won't comment beyond that!!!

Started my cards? I haven't even thought about what I am doing for cards!!!!

[ramanth]

LOL! Same. Been thinking about having a family portrait done (us and the dogs) and getting cards made. Just haven't had time to get everyone together. :rolleyes:

[cassiesmom]

I have to sit out this year because of finances. It was a lot of fun last year, though!

[Felicia's Mom]

My first card came today. Thanks, Richard and Ed.:D

The only cards I have mailed so far are the ones to Australia, Mexico and Guatemala.

[luckies4me]

Does anyone know how much postage will be for the non U.S. people participating in the swap? I want to get those sent out soon. I looked at the postal service site but cannot see where to go to get the info?

[karlyb]

Wow! I received my first card today. Thanks Richard - you sure are on the ball!

I haven't participated on the forum much this year due to computer problems but I so much enjoy the Christmas card swap.

[Freedom]

Does anyone know how much postage will be for the non U.S. people participating in the swap? I want to get those sent out soon. I looked at the postal service site but cannot see where to go to get the info?
It is easiest to take them to the Post Office. There is one price for Europe and UK, another for Canada/Mexico/Guatemala, and another for New Zealand and Australia.

Sorry, can't remember if all those countries are in the PT swap, I am participating in more than one card swap.

[Suki Wingy]

I feel really bad because now I don't know if I'll be able to get them all mailed out in time, if ever. You can take my name off the list if you want to, I guess. I have some cards made but not all and I'm not sure if I can afford international shipping now even though I could have when I signed up. I'm also moving away before Christmas but I'm sure if any make their way here my dad will put them all in a bigger envelope and send them.
So I guess if you have extra, you can send me one but you may not get one in return.

[Andie]

Got Richard's today!!!!!! Thanks, I needed a little pick me up!

I got mine addressed (all except for wenisrubber). That should count for something. :p Signing tonight. In the mail tomorrow... maybe...hopefully.

[captain]

My first card came today. Thanks, Richard and Ed.:D

The only cards I have mailed so far are the ones to Australia, Mexico and Guatemala.

That's ME - I am in Australia :)

I have printed out the "doggie pic", the labels, and will have them posted on 1st December.

Looking forward to it.

[krazyaboutkatz]

I received my first card yesterday from Richard and Ed. Thanks so much for the cute card.:) I still haven't started on the rest of my cards yet though.:o

[lvpets2002]

:) Yes I got my Lovley Card yesterday from Richard Rebel & the Ed.. many thanks == I will be doing mine over the holidays..

[RICHARD]

DONE!

I just have a handful of non-PT members to go and I am done with all my cards......:D

Last year I panicked toward the end!

[Andie]

Got all the international ones in the mail Friday and got all my "States" ppl in the mail this morning. And it's not even Thanksgiving yet. :D I'm good. Not as good as Richard but still good.

WOW!!... look at you working elfs...now please breathe.. haha.. and give your hands a nice massage.. ;)

[captain]

I got Freedoms card yesterday :)

[Karen]

Hey, I have an idea that Captain's post brought to mind. Could those of you outside the US just keep track of how long each card took to get to you? That way, we will have a better-than-official-estimates idea for next time! :)

[krazyaboutkatz]

I finished all of my cards on the list Sat. night.:) I then worked on some other PT cards that weren't on the list and now I only have about 13-15 more cards to do. Then I'll be all done. I won't mail these until Dec.1st or so because I don't want them to get to you too early.;)

SIGH ............ OK ...:p

Just to share a NON-Christmas card story. I purchased beads from Tamara on her Etsy store - took 5 days!!!!!!! from her door to mine!!!!!:eek:

[sparks19]

Well... I just ordered my photo cards two days ago.

I should have them monday next week at the latest (thanksgiving and all)

Once I get them I will be addressing them and sending them out ASAP :)

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

My cards were ready weeks ago. But I am still working on writing the addresses and a personal note! I will try to get everything to the PO this week :D

[Felicia's Mom]

My cards are ready to go but, I'm not going to mail them until after Thanksgiving.

[Barbara]

Got my first cards from
Tracy (KAK)
Richard
Sandra (Freedom).

Looks as if the ones from the other side of the world are first:)

[Pembroke_Corgi]

I received Richard's card so far. Thank you! It is so cute, and I enjoyed the festive green and red holiday ink! :)

[RICHARD]

I received Richard's card so far. Thank you! It is so cute, and I enjoyed the festive green and red holiday ink! :)


Thanks!

I tried!:D

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

I mailed 2/3 of my cards today!! Bought more stamps and will send the others tomorrow!
I hope that all my cards will arrive unharmed, and that your PO's will except them! Because the 3D-effect, the card isn't flat at all....:rolleyes: It hasn't been a problem untill now, but a strict PO-employer in a bad mood might be fussy....! I also found out that a square card costs 3X as much postage!!!:eek::eek:. So I will keep those for Belgium.

[Husky_mom]

what do you know... I got a card from Richard!!... hi long lost brother.. hehehe...

I loved it!!.. thank you so much... I actually laughed when I saw it there in teh table.. and my mom asked me what was so funny... then I opened it and laughed even more... she by then thought I was even crazier.. LOL... loved the comments ... and thank you so much for the good wishes... I too hope you have a great holiday season.... you must!!

(((HUGSS)))... thank you :*

[RICHARD]

what do you know... I got a card from Richard!!... hi long lost brother.. hehehe...



I am the son your mom either doesn't want to acknowledge or doesn't want to remember!

You are welcome, after all, you did the hard work for us.:D

[jennielynn1970]

I am the son your mom either doesn't want to acknowledge or doesn't want to remember!

You are welcome, after all, you did the hard work for us.:D

My friend John, at work(who is a black guy), calls the boys at school (if they are also black) his "brother from another mother", lol.

[jennielynn1970]

I just got all my cards sent out today. I had my regular cards, the swap cards, and about 200 newsletters from the one shelter I volunteer for to send out. My post woman was very nice about it and picked them all up!!

[Husky_mom]

A big thank you to Freedom and Krazyaboutkats... I got your lovely cards today!! :D

how sweet of you .... aww.... and you are welcome on the good thoughts :D :D ((hugs))

[Freedom]

OMG, Isabel, ALREADY??? I sent the out of country ones, been holding on to the in country until Monday. But I remember you always say mail to you takes forever and a day to arrive . . . wow, that was quick! So glad you have it in time for celebrating, lol.

[krazyaboutkatz]

A big thank you to Freedom and Krazyaboutkats... I got your lovely cards today!! :D

how sweet of you .... aww.... and you are welcome on the good thoughts :D :D ((hugs))

I'm so glad to hear that you received my card and before Christmas too.:D I was afraid that if I didn't mail it out early enough that you wouldn't get it in time.

I just received my 2nd card either Friday or today because I didn't go to my mailbox until today.:o It's from Andie & Redneck Pit Lover. Thanks for the cute card.:)

I finished all of my Christmas cards on Wed. evening but I won't mail them out until Monday at the earliest.:)

[Suki Wingy]

It looks like I'll be able to send out notes but nothing fancy at all. I just bought some scrap cardstock and I was going to draw or make a collage on every one but I won't have time to do them all.

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

[captain]

Could I ask a question?
Are any of you like me, and post on 1st December to get the 1st December post mark?
(yes, I know ..... weird ....)

[Marigold2]

I have recieved three and am working on getting mine done.

[k9krazee]

My cards are designed, printed, cut, colored, folded and written in! Now all I need to do is print, cut and fold the envelopes...then address them. :o I'm going to have them ready to go out on Monday! (Who knew an attempt to save money would be SO time consuming?! lol)

I haven't been home, so I don't know what I've received. But I'm SO excited to go home (in two weeks) and see them! :D

[*LabLoverKEB*]

It's soo much fun receiving all these beautiful cards! I love it! :)
Last night I sealed all of the envolopes, and put stamps on them, and the ones that have stamps are went to the post office today! The over-seas ones were taken to the post office, as well.;)
But I ran out of stamps last night, so will have to go and get more stamps!:o:)

[Casper]

I finished my cards up tonight!
They will be mailed out tomorrow. :)

Question: I have an address for Barbara in Germany, but on the card I received from her the return address was in London. Does someone know the correct address?

Thanks Barbara for the lovely card!

The Germany address on the list is correct for her. She said in another post that she was going to mail hers from London, I think it was a little less expensive that way.

[jazzcat]

I have to say I'm sorry because my card is just like Anna's so everyone will be getting duplicate cards. I had already bought them and started writing before I got hers today.

I worked for hours tonight getting mine done. I mailed all the out of country ones this past Tuesday and I will get all the US ones mailed this coming Tuesday.

[sparks19]

I just need to get some stamps and then mine will be mailed out

Hope no one minds that my cards don't actually have any pets on them ... just Hannah lol (unless you count Pluto... he's on there lol)

Lori, don't worry about the same it. The same thing has happened to me before. It's the thought that counts.:)

Of course not. Hannah is a precious little girl and I'll look forward to getting a card with her on it.:)

[k9krazee]

Yay! I finished all of mine. They'll be sent out tomorrow. :)

Lori said it exactly right: I mailed them from London as it is about half as expensive than sending from Germany- and I put our office address on in case British Mail wouldn't accept a German address. But I hope you all send to my German address - thanks:D:D

[lvpets2002]

:) Well I noticed the London address too = but had already mailed your card to Germany..

[jazzcat]

I got the rest of mine mailed yesterday so hopefully everyone should start receiving them soon.

[karlyb]

Thanks Jazzcat and Barbara for clarifying the address. I must have missed the message Barbara sent about mailing her cards from London address.

Finally got all my cards out today! Am I the last one?

Well, I didn't buy all the same cards. I bought 3 different ones! So only "some" people will get the same one:D

(yes, I know ..... weird ....)

I will leave alone the weird part :). But, why do you want the Dec 1 post mark? Is it symbolic to you?

[captain]

No, not symbolic, but I think from when I was young my Mum used to mail hes on that date, so I might have it ENGRAINED in my psyche ..... :p

[Pembroke_Corgi]

I have received so many wonderful cards, but I have been too busy to post about them. I'm sorry for that! Thank you so much everyone for the lovely cards. I also finally managed to get my cards out on Monday morning, so hopefully they will be arriving shortly!

[Karen]

Just sent the rest - the last - of my cards today! But I always dislike that first day when no cards arrive, so I figure I'll postpone that event for some of you!

[mina'smomma]

Hey Guys. The rest of my cards are going out tomorrow. I ran out of cards and had to purchase more. I'm sorry they are so late.:(

[karlyb]

Thanks to Angelique for the Christmas card! I received it just a couple of weeks ago and have been meaning to post a thank-you. It brightened up an otherwise dismal winter day.
