[ramanth]

Huge...HUGE HUGE!!! appologies to Amy (Cincy'sMom) and Clara (clara4457).

I alphabatized my card list and somehow their names never made the final draft. I should of cross checked. I am so stupid!! :( I feel so bad. My photo cards I had made are gone. :(

I'll send a regular card post haste and will have two holiday images made to send soon.

My most sincere appologies again.

I received both of your cards and they are lovely.

[krazyaboutkatz]

I received 4 more cards from the list today.:) They are from ramanth, Felicia's Mom, Joannie, and Blustang24. Thanks so much for the beautiful cards and pictures too.:D

[RICHARD]

Great cards and messages..

just have a handful to senf out....


Just to clarify a few things.

Do not try to write cards with a fat cat in your lap.

Two, the taste of envelope glue sucks!

Three, wait until the last few envelopes to cut your tongue...:rolleyes:

Yes, I know there are other ways to seal envelopes....
It's more fun, and satisfying to do things by hand!:D

[Nomilynn]

This week I got cards from wolf_q, Micki, K9Karen, Edwina's Secretary, Cataholic, Snappy, Captain, Kay and lbaker.

Thank you everyone for the great cards! :)

[Felicia's Mom]

My latest cards have been from Lynne, Edwina's Secretary, Cincy's Mom and Blustang24.
Thank you for the lovely cards and pictures.

[anna_66]

On Saturday I got cards from:
Feliciasmom, lynnestankard & lizzielou

Thank you all so much, the cards are just wonderful!!!

[robinh]

I am awful - I have not posted about the wonderful cards I've received. I can't wait to check the mailbox every day.

I haven't put them on the board yet so that I can take a picture, but I love them all. Nice pictures in some, great messages in all. Thanks you so much. I've really enjoyed them.

[sasvermont]

I really have enjoyed reading everyone's cards. I am so glad I elected to participate. I wish I had spent more time writing messages, as I have enjoyed the personal comments on many of the cards I have received. My aim was to get them in the mail early and I neglected the "personalized" side of the event. Sorry.

I thank everyone for sending a card and often a photo and truly appreciate how much time it took to write a message.

Happy Holidays to everyone.

Ever so fondly,
Sas and her Camp Vermont crew

[Kfamr]

I got many cards Saturday and today, as well as a wonderful surprise! I'll have to give specific thank you later, as I have 3 very determined dogs wanting to play with their new toys! :p

(Thanks to Cincy'smom!!! :D)

[lynnestankard]

Lovely cards today from Kim, Michelle and Amy & Ralf - many thanks folks xxx

Lynne

[RICHARD]

I forgot to say thank you to everyone who took the time to add my mom's name to the list.

She got the biggest kick out of that.

Captain,

You little boobytrap didn't go unnoticed...Does mylar degrade over time or am I gonna keep finding angels and stars until xmas 2005????

Lynne,

I was thinking "Hollywood? Stars? What in the world are you talking about......."

I mailed the overseas card first, those went out from the Post Office right up the street from work....Remember that the card came from the 'Land of the Easily Amused"

We aim to please!!!!!!Glad you enjoyed the card and the post mark!!!

[snappy]

I've been out of touch for a while and will post all the folks names later I promis - but I wanted to say that I LOVE this - it is so much nicer getting these cards than the regular bills or spam mail we all get!

Thank you to all - and I love the overseas cards and the cool stamps that go with it!

Later!
Snappy

[Felicia's Mom]

Your cards and wishes are so nice to come home to every night. I love the pictures of some of the furkids as well as the thoughts/prayers/wishes included in every store bought and home made card. I wish I had the talent some of you have to create a card like that!

You don't know how much these mean to me this year.....words cannot describe. And I of course share them all with Andy and Jessie.

[lizzielou742]

Yesterday was the first day I didn't receive any PT Christmas cards in the mail since I started getting them! I was so sad, because I realized I've gotten so many, they're going to start slowing down now! :( But it's been so nice getting them all! :D Thanks to everyone for the beautiful cards. :)

[Nomilynn]

Thank you to:

Robilee, lovemyshiba, Felicia'sMom, and a special thanks to Staci :)

and to shutterbug, Cincy's Mom, ramanth.. ;)

I think I'm missing a few, but I will try to get a complete list soon! :D

[krazyaboutkatz]

Today I received a beautiful card from RobiLee. Thanks so much.:D

[kohala]

I know your homes look soooooooooo festive with all your cards! Next year I will be back on the list!

Johannna, Kimmy, Sandy, Naomi - you guys can't begin to know how much it meant to me to get your cards! Even Dadcat was moved and delighted! Thank you, thank you, thank you for your thoughtfullness!

I think PetTalk cards are now a part of our Christmas Tradition, and I will never miss another one, no matter where we are living!!! I have my lists from each year, so I can keep track of you all. May all you PetTalkers all over the world have wonderful Holidays!!!

PetTalkers Rule!!!!!!!!!!!!


Ko and Dadcat and Grasshopper Spiritcat

[Karen]

We have so enjoyed all the cards we have been getting - and finally got ours mailed out yesterday, so folks, don't despair, we didn't forget you!

Um - just trying to make Chistmas last longer? ;)

[wolf_Q]

I haven't had a chance to post which cards I've received each day so I just wanted to say thanks to everyone! I've received a ton! I taped them all to a kitchen door and it's totally full, but looks pretty! :)

[RobiLee]

I have enjoyed all of my christmas cards!!! What a special treat to go to the mailbox and receive all of these wonderful cards. I can't thank you all enough. They were all so special! This is something that I will always participate in!

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE!!!!

Hugs, Robin :)

[krazyaboutkatz]

I received another card yesterday from Aly. Thanks Aly for the beautiful card and pictures.:D

[petslover]

I will try my best to participate next year in this. This has been so much fun. I couldn't believe how many I got in the mail and I want to thank everyone for their great card and pictures!!

[aly]

You're very welcome :) I'm glad to know that you got it!

If anyone doesn't receive a card from me, please let me know and I'll send a new one.

[krazyaboutkatz]

So far I've received a card from everyone except for Karen & Paul, YellowLabLover,sasvermont, and karyn674. I know that Karen & Paul's is on the way but I'm not sure about the others.

Has any one else received all of their cards yet?

[Barbara]

Karyn's card from Malta arrived the day before yesterday and it had a stamp from December 15th. If it takes that long from Malta to Germany then I wonder how long it will take to California which may be about 4 times as far (Actually it can be even more, need a globe;) ).

A friend of mine sent a card from Bolivia- it took from 13th to yesterday.

Edit: Looks as if it is rather 9 times as much distance.

[jazzcat]

I've received all but Yellowlablover, Aly and Karyn674 (which will take a while from Malta).

Thanks everyone, I really enjoyed your cards!

If any one didn't get mine please let me know. I mailed them all on Dec. 2nd so I would think they should be there by now.

KAK - I received a card from SAS a couple of weeks ago.

[petslover]

I recieved all, but Yellowlablover. If anyone didn't get mine, please let me know!

[lbaker]

I think the whole point here is: I for one seem to have missed one whole page of names/addresses. But not THAT many. But we all wish the most wonderful, joyfull, gentle and happy wishes to everyone we have met here at PetTalk. If a card or so doesn't reach the intended... the thoughts were/are there. And that's what counts. I wish all the love and peace of a very joyfull New Year for 2005 :cool:

[Killearn Kitties]

Thank you everyone for your wonderful Christmas cards! It was rather nice to receive some in the few days after Christmas Day. It made me feel that the festivities weren't over yet. Today I received the lovely card inspired by the First Bunny! Such a treat. :D

Oh, good! That was the intent!

[Cincy'sMom]

I have not kept track of whose I got and whose I did not...and I fell way behind in thank people here. I need to go through my cards and do that!!

I know we recently ( or not so recently, and I am further behind then I thought!) received cards from Karen and Paul, Aly, Lbaker, Kblaix, lizzielou742, Naomi, robinh, Lovemyshiba, Blustang24, Joann, ramanth and Robilee. I apoloigize to all for not saying thak you sooner, but all the cards are terrific!! This is so much fun to do every year!

[Barbara]

My sis was here today and went through all the cards and was AS JEALOUS AS COULD BE:D

She was so surprised everyone made a purrsonal card and was just ooing and aawing about all the cute pics;)

[krazyaboutkatz]

I received a card from Karen & Paul today. Thanks for the beautiful card.:)

[Kfamr]

I *think* the only one I have no recieved is YellowLabLover's but, I can certainly understand why, and it's no rush!

It's been so dull not recieving 5+ cards in the mail each day!


I hope everyone recieved mine okay. If not, please let me know.

[petslover]

Hey Kay,

Is there anything wrong with Yellowlab? I sure hope not.

[wolf_Q]

Karyn's cards are actually being mailed from Utah...well, the ones to the United States. She sent them to me and I'm sending them. They should arrive soon.

[Barbara]

Clara's arrived today and I'm still waiting for Aly's:)

[karyn674]

Hello everyone!

Hope you all had a nice holiday, not mentioning the disaster that hit Asia and left the world in awe.

I have to thank Wolf Q for being so kind to accept my package of cards that I've sent her late.....thank you Amy!

I hope that everyone got my card with my babies pics.

Thank you all for the beautiful cards; pics and good wishes, it was my first but certainly not my last. :D

[petslover]

Thank you so much Karyn for the cute card and pic. I got it in today!

[Lillycat]

A big "thank you" to everyone who participated in the exchanging of holiday cards......i just finished taking them down from the huge picture window i had taped them on and just smiled as i re-read each one.....This is a great "tradition".......I love it!!!
