2021 Christmas Card Exchange

I got EricKei's card yesterday.

First: Lol. I like ^_^

I...wait...there was no glue on the outside of them o_O how the heck did they stick to the envelope?!? Rrrrr.

see also prior comment on how long I let them dry x.x

Got a card from EricKei today.
Looks like the glue stuck the card to the envelope.
I was able to get it free.
Tugging it a bit worked.
Then I had to pry the card open.
Eric should have let the glue dry longer.
Really enjoyed the sentiment inside.

Not much glitter inside. I wonder if it spilled out?

By the way, the recent chart missed the cards I received from depechmodefan and Irving Patrick Freleigh

Well, technically, the glitter glue was there to hold some of the glitter...while the rest was free range.

Anyhoo - Once most people report in as having received them, I'll post a pdf of the card I made so people can see what it was supposed to look like.

Didn't spill much glitter, that I noticed, but it did rip a little when I tried to open it.

But was the glitter glued on? Or did if fly everywhere?

In no particular order:
Ironclad Alibi
Sandman
Ghel
Kristev
Tax Guy Karl
Dreamstalker
Irv
Depechemodefan

Quite the interesting collection of Cats, Dogs & Cardinals.

Got EricKei's card today. It was glued to itself...

I have to apologize to everyone.

I can certainly understand. We are dealing with health issues for both MIL & FIL. To keep this from sounding like a competition, I'll spare you the details. How about we keep you and your relatives in our prayers if you do the same for us? May everyone feel better & heal quickly. And the electrical problem gets straightened out too.

PS. I too will be late with the cards.

[EricKei]

Hey, no worries man, and thank you for letting us know - Take all the time that you need; you and your family come first, period.

I hope everything works out well!

I have to apologize to everyone. My cards are going to be late (well, the domestic might get there before Christmas if I can get them out on time, but the international are definitely going to be late).
I will definitely get them sent, but these last few months have been hell. My mom needed knee surgery, a quarter of my house has been without electricity (and won't have electricity until mid January at the earliest), my doctor found a abnormality in my heart EKG that I am still trying to get into a specialist to get a proper diagnosis, and just for funsies, my son somehow got ringworm and the school nurse mistook it for bruising and now I have CPS breathing down my neck while I prove that I mistook the rash from that as just another eczema flare up (which I'll admit, isn't good) and not that I hit my child.
I appreciate what I'm hoping will be your understanding as I try to catch up with everything, including these Christmas cards.

10 people have reported 72 cards received from 11 people (26.5%). (Will try to post grid later. It doesn't have enough green on it...🎄)


Today I got a card from my Aunt Judy in Houston, with an amount of glitter on it that puts all of you to shame.

Received cards from Irv and BookstoreEscapee on Sat, just been too tired from n work to post it.
