        I agree....on being informed there was a thread full of pussies, I raced over here. This is not what I expected...

            Come on! I am buying a small US map and a world map to show my 4 year old where all the cards are coming from!

              That would be interesting to explain to my 4 year old daughter.. Showing her where all the cards came from
              Just tell her you have a bunch of cool friends who wanna make you and your family happy ^__^ Maybe ask her to sign the cards you send out, too! (and/or ask her to help pick them out, etc)

              Good opportunity to get her a leg up on some geography, too, which it sounds like you're doing

                Alas, each year the number keeps declining. In 2010 59 people participated. Last year it was only 27.

                At least we have a new participant this year.

                    I know the low sign up numbers are discouraging to some people, but it's looking like the exchange might actually be doable for me this year. I'll jump in and play!

                                I wonder if some of the people who participated in earlier years have simply gone silent here. I know some fairly regular posters appear to be still members, but aren't posting much anymore. I think maybe they just pop in now and again to read stuff, but they might not make it back in time to see this sign-up list.
