Christmas Card Swap

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Another thing to keep in mind is that if you participate, you must send cards to everyone on the list, not just those you pick and choose. Everyone sends to everyone, it's the only fair way to do it.

Also, when considering postage, some particpants are from out of the country - Europe, Canada, Australia, etc. - so postage will be more to them than to the US participants. 50 x .37 = $18.50, then you have to add a bit for the out of country people, and you're looking at possibly around $25.00 in postage - on top of the cost of cards for 50 people, etc....

It can get a bit expensive, but it is so worth it go get a ton of cards from all over the world.

I'm in again!

Just a heads up to people who haven't participated: In the past, I've ended up spending about $75+ if you include postage, cards, envelopes, stickers, pictures, etc.

The first year I participated the bottom line was just over $150. That's why I've opted out of this since then and will not be participating this year.

BUT, you don't have to do all that. You can even go to Wal Mart and get the photo cards. I think they are quite reasonable. Please don't back out just for that. We would love to get anything from you.

I'm interested but I don't know how many people will be involved or how much do you think postage would be? It's 38 cents in the US correct?? For 50 cards that's 20 bucks. I know doesn't seem like a lot but on a tight budget..

I'll consider, though! I would LOVE to receive some, that's for sure, but well.. I'll see.

I know that I've regretted not participating, and, I won't miss out on it again. I'm probably going to have to set aside $5 or $10 a week, starting now. Hopefully, my budget won't be so small here in the next month, though, and it won't be so tight for me. But, either way, I wanna do it this year! I'm already thinking of ways to make this as creative, but, as inexpensive as possible!

That's a good idea, maybe I'll "budget" it in hehe.

[slleipnir]

I might do it this year....depends on how many people..I want to be sure I can afford it first

[krazyaboutkatz]

I've been doing this for the last 3 years and I've thoroughly enjoyed it every year. You can count me in again this year.

[Ally Cat's Mommy]

I'm in! I will actually be away from mid-December to Mid-January, but it will be such a treat to arrive back in Bahrain in Jnauary and have all those wonderful cards waiting for me!!

.............now I need to find some great "Bahrain" style cards again - anyone want another Camel??

[petslover]

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.
