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.
