2013 Christmas Card Exchange is over! Hope you had fun!

[Amina516]

Yay! Theyre getting there!

Sorry for sending them so late all. December flew by.

[BookstoreEscapee]

Today I got cards from MistressOfTangents and Amina.

Amina - I am very glad, too!

Thank you so much to TawnyMyst for the lovely card and bookmark, and also to BookstoreEscapee for your beautiful card!

I'll admit that I'm a little behind on my tallies. I really will get them done soon.

Y'all are such wonderful crazies!

Agreed! I'm having loads of fun with this. The front door is covered with awesome cards (some fun or beautiful professional cards and some highly impressive homemade ones), and I've gotten several ornaments and a bookmark.

I've also been getting cards from family and from business contacts like my insurance agent and the real estate agent who sold us our hours. What's weird is that, when I see the return address on those, I'm almost disappointed, like, "Aw, it's not a Customers Suck card. It's just from Uncle Dave." I like cards from family and friends, but these are more fun.

I'm just slightly paranoid about the impending glitter bomb I've been hearing about...

Also, my daughter loves the Hawaiian shirt the best. She wants to take it to her kindergarten class and show everyone the present Mommy got.

And a right cool and colorful HawaiianShirt - that's too pretty to put on the tree. I think I'll make a place on the mantle.

Glad y'all are liking the shirts. I'm way too picky about store-bought cards, so I decided to make my own again.

Question - what happens if people don't get our cards? I sent out 35 but according to the tally only 19 have been received. Do I have to send out another 16 or something?

Well, from an "administrative" perspective, as long as a reasonable number of people tallied them I'll assume you sent them all out. Some people don't keep up with the tallies as well as they should. (Shame, shame!) And some people just tally them all up towards the end. Of course there's always the possibility of getting lost or delayed in the mail but that's hardly your fault.

While we're on the topic, I'll just remind y'all that you have until February 1st to tally your cards.


Edited to add: today I got a glitter bomb from peppergirl

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

Naw....just means the others haven't been received yet, or haven't been tallied yet.

Mines have all goned out today.So you should get them over Christmas/New Year... because of that damn huge pond thing in the way

[Peppergirl]

I just tallied and I sent mine out on 12/16. Sorry for the delay, ya'll!

[morgana]

Be glad that's the only place it's ended up...

It's not.

And no, Irv, I merely reiterate for effect . . .

[BookstoreEscapee]

The only thing I got in the mail today was a lovely invitation from Discover to take out a personal loan, to which they request I RSVP within 10 days.

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

Irv...somehow the card seems to fit your personality LOL

Incidentally, I was at IKEA last month and perused some cute UNICEF cards they had there. But then I figured people might riot if I didn't send out funny cards.

Irv is crazy

I sincerely hope this didn't dawn on you just now.

Y'all are such wonderful crazies!

Irv is crazy, model trains, Whoville kidlets, origami, reindeers juggling, cutie penguns, a little wooden christmas tree for me to turn into jewelry, aaaaaannnd glitter all over my desk!

I love you all . . .

Sh*t, I have glitter in my hair . . .
