I always start with the far away ones and work my way closer to home!

A nice zip code finder!

Well, I've been very lazy and I haven't started any of them yet. I hope to be able to finish all of the international cards this weekend though.

[Freedom]

Working on my list!

Wenisrubber's zip code didn't come through correctly. Should be 97478

LabLoverKEB - you only provided your last initial, not last name. Have you done this before? Will the post office deliver? Or did you mean to include it? I don't know what to do on this one!

[Reachoutrescue]

With me being away...I missed this year! I am sorry. I hope all have fun and get some nice cards!!!

[Casper]

Goodness, I feel like such a slacker! I'm going to get to work on my cards right away. :-)

A quick question first, how long do you estimate it takes for the cards to get to international PTers?

[Freedom]

Depends on the country. Mexico, Guatamala, probably 6 weeks. Europe is via air maila nd quite fast, a week?

I already received my first card! From England, from one of my mum's friends. She still thinks they send the mail by ship, and is always the first one I receive.

I'll send the first ones next week from London. In Germany we have that stupid rule that cards that are bigger or smaller than standard cost about double. Now all non-EU countries cost already abour 1.50 standard, so the other formats (which occur often in X-mas cards) would be 3 € per card!
As I am in London next week I'll send them from there

Thank you! I plan on sending out cards Tuesday or Wednesday if all goes well.

A week is standard

Hey, I have an idea that Captain's post brought to mind. Could those of you outside the US just keep track of how long each card took to get to you? That way, we will have a better-than-official-estimates idea for next time!

[krazyaboutkatz]

I finished all of my cards on the list Sat. night. I then worked on some other PT cards that weren't on the list and now I only have about 13-15 more cards to do. Then I'll be all done. I won't mail these until Dec.1st or so because I don't want them to get to you too early.

SIGH ............ OK ...

Just to share a NON-Christmas card story. I purchased beads from Tamara on her Etsy store - took 5 days!!!!!!! from her door to mine!!!!!

[sparks19]

Well... I just ordered my photo cards two days ago.

I should have them monday next week at the latest (thanksgiving and all)

Once I get them I will be addressing them and sending them out ASAP

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

My cards were ready weeks ago. But I am still working on writing the addresses and a personal note! I will try to get everything to the PO this week

[Felicia's Mom]

My cards are ready to go but, I'm not going to mail them until after Thanksgiving.
