Christmas Card Swap

**finn's mom** · 10-07-2005, 03:44 PM

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.

I'm in!!! Thanks for doing this, Val.

I think this will be my third time in the Christmas Card Swap and I highly recommend it. If you can manage to save back a little money each week to do it, I know you won't regret it. It is so much fun to recieve cards from all around the world. Its such a treat to find all these wonderful cards in your mailbox. It is most definitely one of the highlights of the holiday season for me

I hope so! Like I said, I know for me personally, I've not taken the initiative to budget it in the past, and, come Christmas time, i've always felt totally left out. Silly, I know, but, it'll be worth it to get cards from everyone!

The deadline is the 6th so you'll receive it soon after that. Robin gave me another reminder. Please include your pet's names if you want them on the cards.

I'm in again!!! It's so much fun! I got so excited to see this!
I'll PM you with my info soon.

November 6?

**dukedogsmom** · 10-07-2005, 04:57 PM

Oops! Yes, November 6th.

**RICHARD** · 10-07-2005, 07:07 PM

I am in!

To me it's not the "flair" of the card that matters-It's the messages that come inside!

I have seen some pretty creative stuff come thru my mailbox...

And ONE request!

If you do enclose pictures Please label them or paste them so I know who it who sent them to me!!!

THanks!!!

**dukedogsmom** · 10-07-2005, 07:32 PM

Richard, that was very clever! I caught it.

**puggywuggles41893** · 10-07-2005, 08:43 PM

OOO! I would love to do that! Ill have my parents email Karen right now!

Hope I can join another Christmas...

I'm really sad about this, I really want to join.......

If you wanted to participate, you could address all the US cards, put them in a box, and send it to me, and then you would just have to pay the 37¢ apiece US postage for each of those, something to consider.

It is kind of expensive, but fun. Maybe when you are older, you can do it!

No one else I know (besides Pet Talkers) ever got a Christmas card with camels wearing Santa hats hanging their stocking on palm trees!

Julie in Bahrain will probably be too busy with other things this year, but that's just one example!
