    I might be intrested again - it was so fun last year! Yes, Jackie the 2 lists worked out last year with you and Zippy doing it. With 2 lists also you don't need to give out your home add. for e-mails. That is a big concern for many with good reason. Getting pictures was so neat! I need to send some this year for sure.

    Jackie, good idea. Many people are understandably reluctant to give our their real names and addresses!

    Yeah, you have a point Jackie. It wouldn't really be fair if somebody sent out a bunch of snail mail cards and only received e-cards in return.

    We should have 2 lists, one for e-cards and one for regular cards. I guess you could be on both lists if you wanted!

    (oh, yeah, right, Rascal, just because you are the "feature" of my Christmas card for 2002 - you want THE WORLD to receive them).
    OMG OMG! How cool is THAT??! Marius and Scooter are jealous and now they want to be featured on the Christmas cards this year! LOL Marius was quite upset that the cat on the card last year looked more like Scooter, so this year it's his turn... I will be sure to include pics this year too! What fun!

    I think the addresses should be emailed to somebody then sent to everyone else....definitely not posted online. /QUOTE]

    Well LOL when I did this on the other website, everyone (including me) just posted their address right there in the forums. I understand that alot of people follow the "don't talk to strangers and don't tell anyone anything private" codex, but I've never really worried about it. Maybe that's really stupid of me, but I guess I've never thought it was realistic that someone would come knocking on my door thanks to me posting my address online.

    Please sign my guestbook if you have the time

    Well because of Pet Portraits I obviously have to give out my name and address to a lot of people. It doesn't bother me at all. But this is an open forum, and it bothers a lot of people. I don't think any of you guys are going to do anything (duh!)...but I have met some rather....odd......people on the net in the past lol....

    LOL no I'm speaking of a chinese fellow from Canada who believed he was a dragon. He was afraid of the dark, and often wore high heels. He even showed me a picture of them, their name was "Strappy." hehee I'm not kidding here! I have many other strange people I have talked to.....I think that's why I don't go into chat rooms anymore!!

    I'll collect the e-card list if you want me to, it doesn't matter!

    Hey, I have an idea - for Niina and others from Europe - Why not mail one big envelope to one "point person" in the US with all the cards for the US folks addressed and ready to go inside? If you did that, you'd just have to pay the expensive postage for one, and then the "point person" here could put US stamps on the others, and you'd just have to reimburse the "point person" 37 cents for each one inside the envelope!

    It'd be almost no work for the "point person" - just taking them out of the envelope, putting stamps on, then mailing! No one would get the European postmark, but they'd get your card, greetings, pictures, whatever!

    I may be very dense, but I don't really understand Karen's post.. do you mean that we would all mail our cards to one person and that person would have to put them in a big envelope and mail them, and they would have to pay the european postage? Please correct me if I'm wrong. I wouldn't mind ecards and regular cards anyway, but then again I haven't yet seen the list!

    No, no. Say you are in Germany, and you want to mail cards to 25 American addresses. But she posted that it would cost 1,53 Euro each, so that times 25 would be $38,25 Euros! But if she put them all in one big envelope and sent them say, to me, it might cost her 3,00 Euros because it would be a bigger envelope (just guessing) but then it would cost just an additional $9.25 US to send them out once they got to the US, so (if we're pretending 1 Euro = $1 just for simplicities sake) she'd save $26 and still reach 25 people.

    Did that make it more confusing or less confusing?

    I might know someone (retired) who could be a "point-person" if no one here could ... but that's a ways away - it IS still September!

    I'd also love to receive real cards and e-cards. I wasn't here last year so I don't know much about this. December is also a very busy month for me at work so the sooner that we start this the better.
