[Dorothy39]

I didn't know if I was going to do it this year.

I went shopping for essentials and saw some cards and said to myself, "These are perfect PT cards....."

That and my mail goes to my mom's house. SHE LOVES THE CARDS because I put them out in her frontroom.

DO NOT GET MY MOM UPSET!

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

I'll send you my info in the A.M.!

BIGGER LOL.....I am gonna start on my cards tonite!

Hey, (whisper, whisper)That's Pet Talk Christmas Spirit Folks!!!!! What else can I say,? I'm updating my list.........

[cassiesmom]

I'm in. I e-mailed and PM'd my info.

[Kfamr]

I'm thinking about joining, but I've been waiting to see how many people are on the list. I always end up adding quite a few others that aren't on the list too so I'm not sure if I can afford it if the list is going to be large. I'll keep watching this thread.

I'm doing the same, Amy. I'm hoping I'll be able to participate, it'll be my first year in a while if I don't. I just don't know if I'll be able to afford it.

[Scooter's Mom]

I was thinking about joining. Sent a PM a couple of days ago. I have a limited budget, so needed to know how many were on the list before I could give a definate answer.


I would love to join, but don't think I'll have funds for Int'l postage. I know there aren't many, but it's been a really rough year (medical expenses).

Ya'll have a great card swap. Hope you all get some terrific cards from the PT crew.

[Husky_mom]

updated!!....... thanks for joining....... you still have this week to plan and adjust budgets.......I´ll be waiting for your info

remember you do not have to get expensive/fancy cards..... you can make them yourself besides letting your crafty side blossom you´ll make some very special one of a kind cards........

if anyone wonders there are about 6 internationals the rest are from USA, so you can make your maths on postage......

[cyber-sibes]

Anyone else? It's deadline day!
Amy? Kay? C'mon, ya know ya wanna!

You can always send postcards - (stamps are only .26 ea.!) & just as much fun!

[Husky_mom]

in my case and the internationals I stated a post before, ALL of our cards are international...... so, come on!! only 6 a bit more on postage for you guys in the states.......sign up!!....

with me, postcard or letter or card or whatever is same postage as long it is within some weight limit.... so for example if a card is 50grms it costs "x" adn if it´s a postcard with same weight it costs the same so it´s cheaper to me to send cards or small packages as they cost the same as a postcard.......

come on it´s really not that much..... besides being today deadline I might as well take all weekend to accept entries as I don´t have a comp those days so until monday to catch up....which means a bit more days for all of you to make up your minds.....

oh and by the way udpated list

[Kfamr]

I'm going to wait until the very last minute. I really can't afford much of anything lately, so I really have to be careful. I'm trying to save up for a new camera since mine broke.

[Husky_mom]

oohhh...... how sad..... how did it break?.... sucha bummer when it happens.....

I´m saving also for a new cam.... I want a S3 but the S5 is almost same price and the Rebel is just 200 more so I´m soooo undecided..... besides i want the SD1000 you posted about too ...... I´m helpless....

take your time....


to all others wondering if they´ll sign up or not, here´s a few insight to consider and making it a 30 dlls or less expense.....

this is what I spent last year so i have a few things for this ears ones

envelopes: (box of 100) about 7 dlls
paper: (a bit thicker paper called opaline) if bought separately you´ll need about 15 sheets at .10 (converted from pesos to dlls, as I bought them here) so 1.50 dlls (you´ll be making 4 cards out of each sheet)
postage: about .50 average as US ones are .39 and internationals are about .63 (I think) so about 13dlls
the other thing you´ll need is just toprint the sheets onyour computer with a pic you have on it, or a pic you want to be on it and add whatever text, pics or anything you want and voilá, soooo zero dlls...... besides it´s not THAT much ink usage, and you can add anything else with a pen or marker or fingerpaint or whatever you have handy.....

so with these you´ll be spending about 22dlls for ALL cards...... you´ll also have to consider postcards are a bit cheaper on postage so you can also do that......

you can have your pets pic displayed at the front, then just cut out and write anything you´ll like to say......if anyone wants a template I can send you over one in which case you´ll only need to change images and text just let me know I´ll be happy to help (just one thing the template I made is in Corel)

So you are extending the deadline to Monday? I'm still trying to decide.

[Husky_mom]

So you are extending the deadline to Monday? I'm still trying to decide.

well........ yeah...... I mean I have no comp access all weekend so if you sign up those days you´ll still be added su I´ll update on monday once I log in

[Husky_mom]

ok..... seems we are done here.... I just need to hear from 3-4 more people that were on backup to see if they decide to sign up officially or not.... otherwise check post number 2 for total of participants......

this is fun now I´ll just arrange the mailing addresses I still have pending to add and I´ll be sending the list this week (just waiting for the optional pending signers)

now the deadline for sneding them over is whenever you like just before the holidays as pòst offices often get swamped..... many opt to send before thanksgiving..... just consider internationals and overseas might take longer in transit.... and please please let us know if anything comes your way I´m here to help you out...

now let´s start the writting hehe

I was really thinking about it and wanted to do it, but I am going to pass this year.
