Christmas Card Swap

[dukedogsmom]

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
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

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!

Sure you can send a box to me, and I can mail them for 37 cents apiece from our post office.

No, they don't have to be fancy at all! Just a card, some people put picture of their pets in, some people's cards ARE their pet's picture - anything is just fine, and lots of fun!

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!)

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.

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.
Let us all get to know you and next year you will be more than welcome to participate.

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 count me in please..I will PM my info later.Im getting excited already!!

[AllAmericanPUP]

[lv4dogs]

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.

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.

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.

[dukedogsmom]

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.
