Count me in this year . I have missed out the last couple years, But have heard how great it's been. Since I havew an e card to all my thousands of relitives I can afford postage fo my freinds.
You have to empty your Pm box It's over and won't let me leave my info.
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to but I don't know how my parents would react if I got a card from say, AFRICA? Lol... I don't know. I could definately afford it, but I don't know about my parents. :(
COUNT ME IN!
My friend offered to have the cards sent to her house and she will give them to me. The address I will be giving out is my friends, but my name will be there. :) I'm SO FREAKING EXCITED!
Count me in!!!!!
Thanks Val ...:D
You should probably have a parent email me with permission, especially as you're still a teenager, and involving another teen's family. Please have your friend's mother email me at [email protected] stating that she is willing to have her child's home address promulgated to a wide list of people. We don't want you, her, or anyone else to get in trouble for this. In fact, which parent do you live with these days? Ask your Dad if he would mind them going to his address, and that would be better than involving a whole third party.Quote:

Also, Last year we included spouses names in the info as well.
This is what was listed last year:
Pet Talk ID
Your pets names
Your name (& significant other if you'd like them to be included)
Mailing Address
Email Address
You forgot me! ;)
I'm doing it again this year! Last year was my first time and I thought it was a blast !! Thanks for putting it together.
*sigh*Quote:

You still have a few weeks to convince someone, okay? If your friends parents are okay with it, they could call me, let me know and I'll PM you my phone number.
It really is a lot of fun to get cards from your Pet Talk friends from all over the world and the U.S.
Count me in - I will email you the address of Rascal, Annie and Emma. :)
Count me in..I'll be emailing you in a minute, Val. Thanks for organizing it.
Well, yeah, it can be expensive, but honestly, it's the most fun! I still have pictures from the very first time. I have to race Logan to the door when the mailman comes!
How many have subscribed already? I want to buy my printing paper today, so I'd like to have an idea of "how many??"
It's in the very first post. But remember, they have until 11/6 to sign up. I hope we get a lot more than we have now.
I would like to join, but i don't know if i can do 50 Cards! However if there is 30 i would like to join!
30..Alot but not overwhelming!
I am still thinking about it. We always have a problem with the mail here, and I am afraid half of my cards with go missing.
Do think about it, and jackie, if you are worried about outgoing mail, you could put all the US cards in a box and have someone here put them in the U.S. post for you.
If you're worried about receiving the cards, though, that I don;t know anything I can recommend - I have no inside info on the Spanish postal system! :)
Also, 50 cards isn't THAT much more than 30 - if you break it up into groups (I'll do 20 on Friday, 20 on Saturday and 10 Monday, for example, it's less overwhelming!)

Also, I Volunteer to adopt/help someone from outside the US send their cards.
When the final list comes out I can tell you how much it will cost to send the cards out.
I know this was not a popular suggestion before, but if we broke it into groups, and each person had 10 people to send to, rather than 50, but with the option of sending to all, it might work out better. I know I'd be more inclined to participate.

I think that would take away a lot of the fun of signing up. There's nothing wrong with people pm'ing the ones they would like to send cards to. I know a lot can't afford it all but if they started now and did a bit each month, it would be eaiser. But, for those that sign up here, it's for all on the list.
Hmmm....If i do join can i send some one most of the cards in a box to the USA as of most of you are from there. It will cost me .85 cents per card!, If i mail each one from canada. And it's .50 cents here in canada.
Damn, i wish our dollar was more! Oh, well :rolleyes:
Oh, and do they have to be really fancy??
:)
25 subscriptions now :) PERFECT !!! Last year there were almost 60 people..... I had a lot of writiing to do, and bought tons of stamps :p
This is my second year participating in the card exchange.
Last year, after Christmas, I bought a ton of cards on sale. Yes, ones like the kind I had sent just weeks before!
What I didn't do last year, was to write my pet's names on my mailing information, and I did do it this year. And, I didn't take the time to write a message. I was sorry I didn't take the time, as I really enjoyed reading the messages from the folks who sent me cards. Am I forgiven.
It would be nice to have the mailing list as early as possible and maybe sent to the participants earlier enough so that they might verify the mailing addresses and zip codes.
It was fun last year and that is why I plan to participate again! :D
Sure you can send a box to me, and I can mail them for 37 cents apiece from our post office.Quote:

I love to sit down on the couch with a christmas movie in the DVD player and address my Christmas cards. I always have a lot to address. I have about 40 cards that I send out to family and friends, then however many PT cards there are. In addition to that I address a couple hundred Christmas cards for work.Quote:

Hi! Welcome to Pet Talk! Usually for things like this (card swaps, gift swaps, etc.) only people who have been members for awhile can participate. We do this through regular mail therefore our addresses are given out. I mean no offense to you, I'm sure you're a fine person, but I (and I'm sure others too) don't want my address going to just any stranger on the internet.Quote:

Oh boy,yay this sounds like sooooo much fun!!.must be neat getting cards from all around the world huh.I would love to join :D count me in please..I will PM my info later.Im getting excited already!! :o
i'm gonna have to pass this year :( i already signed up for a gift swap in one group and a card exchange in another so that's pretty much all i can afford
darn it :(
A little someone just got me in the christmas spirit. Yes a little early but I think it is enough to keep me going until Christmas comes. ;) So put me on the list please. :D
I have just read through this whole thread, and am considering joining...but I have a question.
I have seen several times that you must have been a member of this forum for "a while"... what constitutes "a while"???? Just wondering if I will be eligible or not.
It sounds like a great card swap.... I just am concerned about the cost and whether or not I will be "allowed" to participate. :rolleyes:
I do understand WHY this participation time is in place. It is a great way to try to avoid any possible problems.
Please just let me know. Thanks. :)
I really don't know of a certain time. Felix is relatively new and he's signed up. You have about the same posts as he does. You can join, too. Just be sure you can do it before you do. The reason we want people that have been here a bit is because we want to make sure you can be trusted. It's just that we don't want someone that's just joined and then will not follow through with the promise to send cards. A lot of people join and then never come back after making a couple of replies. I hope I've explained that well.
I said to LaynaBayna that she needed to be here a bit longer before joining a swap. It was only her second post when she wanted to join a swap, and that is WAY too premature to be joining a swap. You've been here since April and have made over 100 posts, so I don't have a problem with you joining in the card swap.Quote:

I will have my decision before the Novewmber 6 deadline. Thanks again. :)
Various reasons prevented me from participating in the past.This is the first year that I will be able to participate.
Yay! I'm really looking forward to it!
:D
I'm in :D
Gosh, it is so much fun! :)
I just finished printing ALL my cards!! Wow, I am early, right?! Well, I am glad to be all ready, now I only need to write the addresses on the envelopes :)
He he, I even ordered special stamps with pics of my cats on it!!
