You two are way too organized! I don't even have the pic taken, much less printed out on anything. I would like to make the cards again this year but haven't thought of a design I'd like to use yet.
Got my post card stock now to choose pictures and merge them on my puter and print.
I'm waiting to see how many people join. If not too many more join i'll be able to do it. I'd also like to make a special card for each person. Depending on how much time i'll have. I went today to see how much it'd cost for the supplies I want and it wouldn't be too bad.
I really really want to do this, it sounds like so much fun but I definately need to talk to the 'rents about this one...they already aren't too fond of PT :rolleyes: (they're just jealous ;) ) I wonder what their reaction will be...hmmm :D
I'm in again this year!!! I loved getting cards from everyone last time. It will be nice to have all the cards again (I still have some cards taped to my table from the year before last :o ) especially since I'm going to be away from my family for the first time this Christmas. :(
Woo Hoo! Walmart has their christmas photo cards up! Looks like I'll be digging my christmas props out of the closet this weekend (and maybe a visit to the dollar store) for a christmas card photo shoot!
This will be my first christmas getting special cards like this. I figure it's for a special reason, PT, and this may be Nanooks last christmas with me.
i would like to....it sounds like fun....and i love getting mail that isn't bills
Valerie, I noticed you forgot to put yourself on the list.
I was also wondering if you could add a count to the top or bottom of the list. This way we don't have to count every time we want to know how many are on the list. I counted 32 plus you, so 33 thus far. I thought it'd be easier for everyone if you could post the number and then when you add someone to the list you could up the number.
I just went and bough a bunch of supplies. I bought enough to make 50 cards, so hopefully that'll be enough since there's still a bit until deadline. If I end up with more i'll probably make some for family and friends.
Soo.... going to send my info now. :)
Ok, the list has been ammended and the count is up. That was a good idea. I just wish I had an idea on what to do. My mind is a complete blank.k
I'm just doing them with what supplies I have.. So far each one is different. I'm going to get pictures printed to go inside them. I've got about 15 of them decorated so far.
I cant wait till christmas..... ;) :D
I wasn't on the board last year for this, so sorry for the maybe stupid questions:
1)Can anyone signup, even newer people?
2) I'd like to participate but I can be a little lame in the creativity :eek: department, how fancy/creative do people get?
You can sign up. People can get very creative and some buy cards. Do whatever you would like to and feel comfortable with. It's a lot of fun. Just remember, you have to send a card to everyone on the list.
I'm so excited! I went last night and got all kinds of little things on sale. Now I just have to get a Christmas picture of Finn. :) I'm so glad I get to do the swap this year!!! Yay!
I wanted to do the same thing but I don't have enough time this year. :(Quote:

So then I was thinking about doing it on the work computer, but the printer isn't a good photo quality printer. I thought about adding my printer to the work computer but thats just too much.
So I'm just taking in a nice home-taken holiday photo of the ruppers (maybe I'll "try" to get the kitties in it too, to Walmart & get cards made out of them.

I think I'm in, my roomate came up w/a great idea for a card.....assuming I can get my crew to sit still for more than a second. :D
Hey, maybe I'm dense or just totally missing it...but, Karen's participating, right? :D
Yeah, she is. She hadn't sent me her info so I hadn't added her.
Shutterfly is offering 20% off on orders of over $30 (lower percentage on smaller orders) - just wanted to mention in case any of you are planning on ordering your cards from them. The offer expires November 8th :D
Ah, ok...I was wondering about that! ;)Quote:

I'm sure it takes a lot of time but it sure is worth it for the rest of us. I think this will be four years running for me! What a treat! :D
I am very excited! I signed up to take a Christmas card class at my scrapbook store this Tuesday. And, if it isn't too expensive, I'll be making very classy looking cards and then just enclosing a pic of the critters. I hope it'll work out that I can make the ones I learn about on Tuesday.
Sounds like fun!! :D
Val,
Don't want to be a "nag" but do we have a final number yet, as the deadline is now passed? Just wondering, as I need to order cards from a local charity, so an approximate number would be a great help!
Thanks for organising this!!
The number signed up is on the first post. I believe it's 42 unless I've made an error. I have to work today and Monday. I'll try to have the list out Wednesday.
I've about gotten the list typed up while at work. However, I can't make it a file until I get home and it would be emailed Wednesday. If everyone doesn't mind it not being a file, I can email the list before I get off work in the morning.
I'm going to go ahead and send it that way. It's easier for all, I think. And, please let me know if everything is correct and anyone that doesn't get it and should, please pm me. I've tried to keep all the card ones in a different message folder.
Thanks for doing this Val. I got mine no problems :)
I have not gotten the email yet, just FYI.
Val, I received my list without any problems. Thanks so much for organizing this. :D
I do have a question though. On the first page you say that we have 41 people and I only count 40 on the list. I also only received 40 including myself. Did you forget to inlcude someone or are there really on 40 people total?
I just resent the list as a file to everyone separately. I hope you all recieve them this time. Don't forget to check the junk mail or spam folders. I sent one by mistake(it was a draft) before the other one. Sorry for all the problems. Also, lv4dogs wanted their pets included and I had forgotten until I came to that pm and had already sent the list. If you could please add them. Sorry for all the trouble.
dogs: Nanook, Raustyk & Kaige
cats: Meko & Tiki
I didn't have a few email addresses so I pmd those people. I hope it goes smoothly this time.
I got it this time - and the second version was nicely formatted, too.
Got it again :) :) :) Thanks!
Got it!! THANK YOU !!!!! I can start writing the envelopes now :p
:) Val got my list ok && THANK YOU !!! for doing this for us.. Picking out cards now from American Humane Association to send..
Got my list Val! Thanks for doing such a wonderful job.
And yes I did want my pets to be addressed too! Just the main ones because I have so many!
Dogs: Nanook, Raustyk & Kaige
Cats: Meko & Tiki
OR you can just address it to Sue & the critters.
Thanks everyone!
I got it again Val. Thanks so much! :D
I didn't get it. I can't seem to find it if I did get it. I checked through my junk mail and didn't see it there. I'm sorry, can you PM it to me, thanks. :o
