[cats4ever]

Thanks, Lut, for organizing the card swap again this year. I really enjoyed last year's.

[Catty1]

I signed up!

Lut, would you consider posting this in Pet Talkers on Facebook also?

[Karen]

I am so sorry I never sent the cards out last year, one of Paul's uncles died that November, and his mom was battling cancer and I was trying to be there for her through the holiday season, and everything was just too overwhelming. I so enjoyed all the cards I did get, and still have them up, meaning to do cards and send them still.

Sigh.

[phesina]

{{{{{HUGS}}}}} and ~~~~PURRRS~~~~ and :love::love::love::love::love::love::love::love: to you, Karen, from Pat and Sparkler and Poppy

[Karen]

I do encourage others to sign up, though, and hope to be able to participate this year.

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

[cats4ever]

Reminder !!!!

Join the group, it's so much fun!!

Yes!!! The more, the merrier!

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

To all Pet Talk members: as Christmas is getting closer now, you have only 1 week (7 days) to join our list:eek::eek:
Please join this Pet Talk list.
It is so much fun to het the list with addresses and writing cards to everyone on this list;
it is always so much fun too to find lots of PT cards in your letter box!!

[cats4ever]

I got stamps (domestic and international) and cards ready to go. Just waiting for the list.
I apologize ahead of time, because most correspondence will be printed, as I won't be able to write because of the surgery, and believe me, you do not want me to use my other hand!:D

[Felicia's Mom]

I always love doing this!:love:

[phesina]

What do you think about this, friends: Can we include Gary (Catmandu) on the list? I doubt he's able to send cards out, but I imagine it would brighten his room, and his spirit, to get some cards.

Thanks,
Pat :love::love::love::love::love::love::love::love:

Wonderful idea, Pat!:love:

[Catty1]

Hi Lut.

I just posted on the PT page on Facebook giving people there the option to PM you on Facebook with their card information.

I hope it'll encourage a few more people to sign up.:)

[RICHARD]

I'm IN!

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Today I will send the list to all participants.
In fact I should have done this during the past weekend; I even already posted all my cards because they take more time to reach the other side of the ocean.
But then Saturday my dad died... !

Please control the list and write here if you found any mistakes in your address!

[phesina]

Thank you, Lut! I have a second cat, Poppy, as well as Sparkler.

:love::love::love::love::love::love::love::love:

[cats4ever]

Thanks for the list, Lut!:love:

[Felicia's Mom]

My cards are all ready to go. Wed. I will buy stamps and mail them.

[Felicia's Mom]

My card have all been sent.

Because I have trouble with my hand shaking, I only wrote my first name.

[Karen]

Kut! I got your card today already! :) That must be the fastest ever!

[Felicia's Mom]

Got your card today, Lut! Thanks!:love:

[Freedom]

Lut your card has arrived, the first one this season. What a lovely, creative card! I can't believe you did embroidery on it! Thank you so much.

I have the doggie photo ready. Need to get pics of the kitties, and get moving on mine.

[phesina]

I sent mine out yesterday.

[cats4ever]

All my cards were sent 3 days ago, so some should arrive this week.:)

[mbsmum]

My cards have all been sent today.

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Kut! I got your card today already! :) That must be the fastest ever!

It's "LUT" Karen, Not "Kut"
LOL:p;)

I'm glad they are already arriving! That's surely my earliest X-card ever!!

[Karen]

Whenever I type Lut autocorrect makes it Out - so I mistakenly corrected it that time! Sorry!

[phesina]

Lut, I got your beautiful, creative card, too! You are a true artist, with such a good, loving heart.

Thank you!

[cats4ever]

Thank you, Lut, for your card!:love: It's so beautiful.

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

One more today: from mbsmum!
:love:Thank you :love:!!!!

[Felicia's Mom]

My latest cards are from Sandie and Pat. Thank you both so much!:love:

[cats4ever]

Thank you, Prathima and Sandra, for your beautiful cards!:love:

[phesina]

Thank you, Prathima, for that lovely card, complete with your drawings of your cats!

:love::love::love::love::love::love::love::love:

[mbsmum]

Thank you Lut, Sandra and Pat for your wonderful cards which I got today.

[Felicia's Mom]

I got your lovely card today Prathima. Thank you very much!

[phesina]

An update on Gary (Catmandu) Tweedle's address:

I found out today that the post code for his hospital should be L8M 1W9 (rather than 2W9 for the last part, as I'd had before). I hope the cards with the 2W9 will still get to him.

Any experts on Canadian postal codes here that can tell me how this might work? U.S. zip codes can sometimes be wildly misnumbered and the mail still arrives at the proper destination (maybe just taking longer to get there?).

I found out today that the post code for his hospital should be L8M 1W9 (rather than 2W9 for the last part, as I'd had before). I hope the cards with the 2W9 will still get to him.

Oops.... I sent my card to 2W8....... . I sure hope he got it anyway......!

[phesina]

I sent my card to 2W9, too, Lut. I imagine they'll get there, maybe just take a little longer. The address says "St. Peter's Hospital" in it, so it should be pretty clear where it's supposed to go.

:love::love::love::love::love::love::love::love:

[Catty1]

I got my stamps yesterday. I have received a few cards but refuse to open them until I get mine sent! :)

[cats4ever]

Thank you, Pat, for your adorable kitty card!:love:

[Felicia's Mom]

Elyse, I received your beautiful card today. Thank you very much!

[phesina]

Thank you, Elyse, for the adorable card!

:love::love::love::love::love::love::love::love:

[Catty1]

All sent! They'll all go out in today's mail. Everyone will likely get them during the holidays.:)

mbsmum - I love the sketches of your kitties! Thank you.

phesina - lovely, thanks!

Freedom - great photos! Interesting how the dogs are all together in one pic but the cats - aren't! ;):D

Maya & Inka's Mommy - beautiful work. Thank you.

cats4ever - is the cover photo one of your kitties being naughty? ;) Thank you.

Felicia's Mom - I love cardinals. I wish we had them where I live. Thank you.

Looking forward to checking the mail tomorrow. :love:

[Karen]

I picked up my cards from Staples today, so will be mailing them over the next couple days. Sorry so tardy, folks, and I forgot to check off heavy stock,s so they are more floppy than they should be.

[phesina]

Yesterday I heard from Gary's friend Helen. She said "I did make it in to see Gary today and he is looking very well. He did say that he had received the cards from you and your friends."

So the Pet Talk cards have been getting to him! (2W9 code or the right one.)

Pat

[cats4ever]

That's good to hear.

[cats4ever]

Elyse and Richard, thank you both for your beautiful cards!:love:

[Karen]

I mailed my international ones today. The rest will be mailed tomorrow.

[mbsmum]

I got your card card Richard, thanks. I wünsche dir und deine Frau auch fröhliche Weinachten.

[Karen]

I mailed all the rest of the Pet Talker cards in Boston on Saturday afternoon, so they hopefully will arrive this week, or at least before Epiphany!

As I always remind folks - the Wise Men didn't get there overnight, Christmas takes time to unfold!

[phesina]

Thank you, RICHARD and family, for the lovely card celebrating the Guiding Eyes for the Blind guide dogs to those with vision loss and service dogs for children with autism.

:love::love::love::love::love::love::love::love:

[Felicia's Mom]

Thank you Richard and Karen for your beautiful cards!

[mbsmum]

Thank you Karen and Candace for your beautiful cards and the feather.

[Karen]

Yay, so glad they are arriving!

[cats4ever]

Thank you, Karen and Candace, for your beautiful cards.

[phesina]

Thank you, Candace, for the lovely, sparkly card!

:love::love::love::love::love::love::love::love:

[Felicia's Mom]

I got your card Candace, thank you very much!

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Thanks to all of you for your beautiful cards! :love:
The cards now all hang on my wall, where I can admire them everytime I pass :)

[Catty1]

Thank you RICHARD & Doris, and Karen for your lovely cards! :):love:

Yesterday I got Gary's card back in the mail. There was a sticker on it saying:


RETURN TO SENDER
OTHER REASON
UNABLE TO FORWARD

All I can think is that someone at Canada Post was being a real stickler about the post code being wrong! Today I re-sent it with the proper code on it. I'll see if that one comes back to me, too. I hope it does get to him.

Have any of you others gotten your card to him back, and which post code did you have on it?

Pat

Pat

I didn't get mine back but I had the correct postal code on it.

And yes, someone at Canada Post was likely being an anal twit. :rolleyes:

[mbsmum]

I did not get it back. Maybe it is too much of a bother for Candian Post to return it to Europe. I hope they have delivered it and not just thrown it away.

[cats4ever]

I did not get Gary's card back, and I had the wrong postal code on it.

[phesina]

As Candace said, maybe someone there was being an anal twit, and it was when my card came along but not yours.

[phesina]

That's good!

His friend Helen visited him recently and said he had gotten some cards.

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

I hope that everybody received all cards this year?

"See" you all back in November!!!
:love::love::love:

[Karen]

I think I got cards from everyone, I tried to send to all last year's list as well as this year, as I still felt badly about not sending last year.
