[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Of course more would be "purr-fect "

:love::cool:;):love:

[Catty1]

There are two more on the list than last year and we've just started!

If you are on Pet Talkers on Facebook and are participating maybe drop a note there to say you are doing this and looking forward to it!

[Freedom]

Well this is VERY weird. I USED to be on the FB group. Now, I am not. And the FB group I found only has 7 members????:confused:

[Karen]

You ARE part of the FB group! It has 155 members = see https://www.facebook.com/groups/183475615011263/about/

[Freedom]

As usual, I am technically challenged. Thanks for the link, Karen.


Lut shared the link in that small 7 member group. I will share it in the large group now.

[Catty1]

Lut shared the link in that small 7 member group. I will share it in the large group now.

I posted the card info and asked all three moderators to pin it. It's been pinned twice! :D

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Last days to join us (4 days)!!
Come on dear PT-friends, this so much fun!!
I know that 2 persons on the list live in Europe, but he higher postage outweighs all pleasure and happiness you get with every card you will receive:love::)

Please join us :love::love::love:

[Karen]

It really is so much fun, the more the merrier!

Please join us :love::love::love:

It's not really that expensive. A letter from Germany to the US is roughly $1.80.
A letter from here to Germany is $1.15.
So I join Lut: Send out those cards!

[Randi]

I used to be part of the Christmas card swap, but the price has gone up considerably since then, and I refuse to pay $4.10 to send a card weighing less than 50 grams.

Hope you all have fun sending and receiving. :)

Hey Randi - if you want, you could put all your US cards in one big envelope and send them to me, and I could then mail them out for you here for just .50 apiece!

[Randi]

Thank you, Karen, I would love to do that if it's not too late. Will e-mail you. :)

[Karen]

You're welcome! :) Glad to help!

[Randi]

So I'm in.. unless it's too late. I just need the addresses, yours included, Karen. :)

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

No no, you are not to late Randi!
How fantastic to have you in this year!!!:love:

[Randi]

Thank you, Lut. :) Now we all just need the names and addresses. I believe it's past the deadline.

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Thank you, Lut. :) Now we all just need the names and addresses. I believe it's past the deadline.


I know! I just sent it out, in 2 parts

[Randi]

Thanks, I got the first part, only missing Freedom and Ramanth.

[cats4ever]

I have only received part 1 so far...

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

I'm so sorry, it seems I forgot to push the "sent" sign when I tried to send out the second part of the list....:eek:
I'm so sorry....
I am a bit to nervous because of Inka's condition today :(
Again, I am so sorry.....

I just sent it out again, and this time I really did push the sent button ;)

[phesina]

I got them both, Lut. Thank you so much for taking care of all this!

Sparkler and I are sending loving good wishes and healing energies to sweet Inka.

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

[Felicia's Mom]

I got both of mine too. Thanks a lot Lut!

[Randi]

I got the remaining, too. Thank you, Lut. :)

[cats4ever]

[mbsmum]

Today I got cards from Kim and Sandra. Many Thanks.

[Catty1]

I was very worried about RICHARD's absence so I phoned him about a week ago. He emailed me back. He's fine but tied up with things he'll talk about another time.

If anyone would like to send him a card PM me for his address. He'll send cards back after the holidays.:love:

[Catty1]

Thank you all for the beautiful cards.

I am so glad we get the chance to exchange REAL cards at this time of year.

Merry Christmas.:)

[Randi]

I received another bunch of beatiful/cute cards yesterday... thank you so much, Sandie, Pat and Kim! I love the cute cards and pictures of your fluffy crew. :love:

[cats4ever]

This was a great card swap, and it made Christmas so much more festive!:love:
Thank you, everybody!

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Thank you all for the beautiful cards.

I am so glad we get the chance to exchange REAL cards at this time of year.

Merry Christmas.:)

Exactly Candace, I love "real" cards, and also "real" letters!! They are much more personal!

Sending cards and wishes is soooo easy, just choose a card, type a few words, push the "send" button, and tada, all done! Hm.....

To send a "real" card, takes much more action: buy a card, go home to write down your wishes, buy stampen, glee them on the card, go to a mailbox, and post it; this so much more personal, and in the end, the card reaches his destination, is opened, and then gets a special place on a cabinet, or on the wall:love:He he, is it obvious what kind of cards I prefer ;):):love::love::love::p

[phesina]

I love "real" cards and letters too, both sending and receiving them!

[Freedom]

I was in 4 card swaps this year. 3 of them, everyone sent; I've received from everyone. But PT . . . 2 of you have not sent your cards yet! ;)

What a lovely display! I enjoy looking at all of them.

I know! I sat down and did all the envelopes last night (busy and emotional holiday) and then couldn't find the US stamps I bought!

I am hoping they will emerge as I clear clutter in the next day or so...my bad.

[cassiesmom]

Candace, please remind me of this for next year. I'll put a note on my October 2018 calendar page too. If you like, if it would be less expensive, please send your U.S. cards here. I will put U.S. stamps on them and pop them in the mail.

Thanks,
elyse

Thank you, Elyse.

I have the International and Canadian stamps - but I misplaced the U.S. ones. I don't mind spending the money, but replacing the US set irks me.

I am still decluttering paper in a few areas so they may yet show up.

I'll consider your offer for next year. :)

[Karen]

I still have to get my cards drawn and printed to mail out. Things are now complicated by the lack of a car - but hopefully soon that will be remedied!

[Catty1]

I found the stamps!!!

[Randi]

Thank you for your beautiful card, Candace, I recieved it yesterday. :)

[phesina]

I got the most delightful surprise in the mail today: a lovely Christmas card, including a few soft feathers, from our own dear Mayor Karen.

It was postmarked 23 DEC 2017!!!!!

I wonder where it's been all this time!

Thank you so much, Karen! It's beautiful, and I will put it with all the other Pet Talk cards I've received over the years and love so much.

:love::love::love::love::love::love::love::love: from Pat and Sparkler and Galaxy (who only came this past Christmas 2018) and Poppy Angel who was around for Christmas 2017 and all the Angels.

[Karen]

Wow, I wonder, too! Glad it made it to you at long last!
