The 2008 CS Christmas Card List - Discussion

[Rubyred]

PM sent. Yay!

This is only the second year I'll be doing this but I'm so looking forward to it. I got all my cards last year....I have hundreds.....my fiance thinks I'm crazy..ut we're well stocked for the next 40 or so years. Lol.

Sent in mine as well.

Anyoen know when the master list is sent out? I usually send my cards out mid-november to beat the rush.

[Broomjockey]

I'm guessing it's sent out shortly after the sign-up finishes, with a short grace period for people who didn't send in complete information, and some time for JAM to make sure it's organized and no one is left off.

[Horsetuna]

Works for me!

I can't wait. I hope I dont run out of stickers!

[DGoddessChardonnay]

Sounds good to me.

However, I had to update my info again (I'll explain in a separate post) so I'm hoping the infor I sent in will be correct. I'd hate for all those cards to get sent to the wrong address.

*sigh*

Last year it went out on Halloween (yeah, I don't clean out my email very often ).

I'm pretty sure last year's deadline was a week earlier, so it may be a little later than that this year. We have to give Juniormintz time to check all the details and make sure everyone gave complete info, and then to compile it all into a list and email it.
If she can get that all done in a week, great, but if it takes her until into the first week of November or so, I certainly won't be wondering where my list is.

I still say that girl deserves a huge CS medal for taking on the job each year.

As far as the cards go, you can do what I do: buy up a bunch right after Christmas when they go half price. That way you have plenty for next year.

I'll try to find where I put those extra cards as soon as I can get the bedroom and office back together . . . everything's stored here there and yonder right now.

And if I can't find them, I'll just go and get more cards. In which case, I'll probably come across those extras after Christmas when I'm cleaning out stuff for spring.

There's always construction paper and crayons. Or magic markers. You can borrow my roommate's box of fruit scented Mr. Sketch markers.

My boss and I are ordering Xmas cards en masse... I can get 200 cards for about 160 dollars total, including personal message too.

But since I like handwriting, I'm just getting 50 of each type of card. I figure I can cycle through them each year so nobody will end up with a double two years in a row.
