    Is my existence so sad that I'm extremely excited for all these cards to come in the mail?
    Would any of us have signed up is that were the case? ^_^ No worries, we're all in the same, wonderful, silly boat.

      • I was lucky enough to find a huge lot of cards on ebay and some of them are vintage 70's. I can't wait to get them sent out a start getting some. I really like the idea of a card exchange because I usually hate christmas but I'm kinda looking forward to it now.

        • oh yeah, also an apology, I'll post it in advance... since I made my own cards, about half of y'alls are getting cards where the inside is upside down
          It's my first time making my own cards, and this was a practice run for doing wedding invites, so I want to give my thanks to those who receive upside down cards for being my guinea pigs

          • It will make me happy if I get an upside-down handmade card

            If anyone still needs to get cards, Target had a lot that were 18 cards for $5 (and a couple that I wouldn't be surprised if I get them from Irv). They also had boxes of 40 cards with matching envelope seals for $15. I picked up 3 boxes of 18, so with what I already have I'll have more than enough for you guys and my college friends (probably still some leftovers). I didn't get over to B&N but I'm fairly confident that even with my discount I'd spend more there.

              Yay! Upside Down Cards! Those are collector's items, Irv! ^_^

              I got the 40 cards for $15 at target. Two different types. One of them is MADE of GLITTER, I swear!

                Hehe, yeah I notice they had several cards featuring glitter. I refrained.

                I almost got the 40 cards just because of the cute envelope seals but I have a ton of holiday stickers, and the ones I went with I got 54 cards for the same price.

                • A friend of mine got a ton of free cards as a thank you from various charities that she donated to, so she gave me a bunch.

                  I will still have to pick up a few more.
                  I got my stamps today because I actually had some money.

                  I am going to try and work on something special to put inside.
                  It may or may not work out. (My printer has been acting up.)
                  I tried to do the same thing in 2007, and my late husband accidentally tossed the whole darn works in the garbage because I had it all spread out on newspaper and he just gathered it all up, thinking it was just used newspaper and scraps. (I remember I was so pissed at him at the time. )
                  Too tired of living and too tired to end it. What a conundrum.

                  • I counted 59 names on my labels sheet (including mine ) is that the count that everyone else got to? For some reason I thought there was supposed to be 64

                      No, there's 59 total.

                      It was mentioned somewhere in the thread that there were 64 a couple years ago; that's probably why you have that number in your head.

                      • ok Awesome! I have everything written and the address labels on, I just have to make some return address labels now and get the rest of my stamps. I will be sending them out over the next couple of weeks. For some odd reason there are no post boxes on my way to/from work and the mail room only lets you mail 5 personal items a day.... (really? really!)

                          My apartment complex has a mailbox (regular blue US Mail) in front of the office...I just have to drop 'em in. In the past I had to take the foreign ones to the post office, but I even got the stamps for those already. I should be getting my US stamps in the next day or two). I will not likely get my cards done until early December, though.

                            I don't think you did
                            I know that peppergirl didn't get an upside down card and you were right after her if I remember correctly...

                            • So I just checked my e-mail address, including my trash and spam folder. I did NOT get the list. I'm not sure what went wrong.

                              • Yay! The cards are stamped inside and out and the little trees are on. Just need the photo printed for the front.

                                Hope to print my labels tomorrow. I was so worried about getting these done.

                                I can't wait to start receiving cards. Need to find a place to display them.
