updated!!..... yay!! numbers are increasing.....
one more week until deadline to sign up..... ;)
updated.....;)
lay it on the pillow this weekend....... let us know what you come up with.... :D
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 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.! :D
------------
BIGGER LOL.....I am gonna start on my cards tonite! :D

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.
updated!!....... thanks for joining....... you still have this week to plan and adjust budgets.......IŽll 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 youŽll 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......;)
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!
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 itŽs a postcard with same weight it costs the same so itŽs cheaper to me to send cards or small packages as they cost the same as a postcard.......
come on itŽs really not that much..... besides being today deadline I might as well take all weekend to accept entries as I donŽt 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 ;)
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. :(
oohhh...... how sad..... how did it break?.... sucha bummer when it happens.....
IŽm 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 IŽm soooo undecided..... besides i want the SD1000 you posted about too :p ...... IŽm helpless.... :rolleyes:
take your time....
to all others wondering if theyŽll sign up or not, hereŽs 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 youŽll need about 15 sheets at .10 (converted from pesos to dlls, as I bought them here) so 1.50 dlls (youŽll 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 youŽll 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 itŽs 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 youŽll be spending about 22dlls for ALL cards...... youŽll 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 youŽll like to say......if anyone wants a template I can send you over one in which case youŽll only need to change images and text ;) just let me know IŽll 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.
well........ yeah...... I mean I have no comp access all weekend so if you sign up those days youŽll still be added ;) su IŽll update on monday once I log inQuote:

this is fun now IŽll just arrange the mailing addresses I still have pending to add and IŽll 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 IŽm here to help you out...
now letŽs start the writting hehe ;)
I was really thinking about it and wanted to do it, but I am going to pass this year.
If it's still open, I would like to sign up. =]
Garage sales, second hand stores...might have all kinds of things cheap that can be glued onto regular paper to 'make' a card.
I'll start scrounging...
Kay, so sorry you canŽt join us this year, but weŽll be waiting you for next one ok?.... btw looooove the calendars!! awesome job!! as always
I sure can squeeze you in I just need you to send me your info no later than today so I can update and send the list to everyone signed up....;)Quote:

Please check unwanted email in case my mail goes there....if you donŽt receive it let me know......

I just got the list. Thanks!
Quick question - how early would you recommend I send your card Husky Mom? I want to make sure you get it in time.
hmm...... how about tomorrow...... LOL just kidding....... whenever you want should be fine...... it usually takes 3-4 weeks for regular mail, but with the holiday ruch it may take longer depending on how many people int he world decide to mail something.......Quote:

NOTE TO ALL: I sent a second email with a correction os someones zip code
I received the list and the zipcode correction. Thanks.:)
Isabel, Did you ever receive the Christmas card that I sent you last year? I feel so bad if you didn't. Maybe I'll mail yours sometime this month so you'll be sure to get it in time.;)
I was waiting to see how many would be on it, to see if it would be doable, and just saw it was closed! :eek: :( Is there any way to get on it yet??? I had forgotten to look back here these past weeks. Times been a flyin! If not, no hard feelings!
Thanks! Jenn
not a problem for me..... lets just see if anyone has a concern about it... I donŽt want to step on their toes by keep adding people at my will, but IŽm pretty sure there will be no problem in adding you.....Quote:

Husky Mom, I'm good with having more people added. I'll keep an eye on e-mail to be sure I have the most up to date information.
I looked on the United States Postal Service Web site yesterday. U.S. postage this year is 69 cents for a regular size envelope (up to one ounce) from the U.S. to Mexico and Canada and 90 cents to Europe and Australia. I need to visit the stationery store!
I don't mind at all adding someone else. I have been working away today with the different designs. (I'm making mine) And have about 10 different ones so one more isn't a problem for me at all. :)
I'm still in the "thinking" phase.... what's one or two more? ;)
I already have mine semi done LOL..... I made them myself... so itŽs no problem for me to add more.....
itŽs been fun making them..... I still have a few thing to get done, but overall there are two choices....... hint hint........ as in my two girls.... balck or tan.... haha........ ok I canŽt hold it, so IŽll shut it before I spill it.... I want it to be a surprise ;)
as a suggestion IŽll also be adding info correction on post #2 as some emails might get deleted by mistake...... so IŽll add any correction made in that same post.....
thanks again
I say, the more the "Merrier" Jenn ~
, Isabel, you're doing such good job making sure everyone gets this list in time. I just can't wait to see your Christmas Cards!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o
I'll keep my eyes opened for any further updates!!!
Sorry, I just didn't know if I could afford doing the whole list this year. However I am still going to be making and sending out cards. If anyone would like to swap christmas cards with me, send me a pm. :)
I didn't get the list yet.... I know I forgot to send you my email address before. but just a reminder that I still need the list :D
sent!!.... I hope if comes through this time...:)Quote:
