[Peppergirl]

Is anyone else handwriting theirs? Or am I the only one who's a big enough dork?

You're not a dork!

I have issues with my right hand (torn tendon/ligaments that didn't heal right) so my hand cramps if I write for more than a few minutes... it was honestly difficult enough for me to write on the inside of 58 cards, so labels were used for the envelopes.

Stupid hand.

I always feel bad about not handwriting stuff... but I can't without extreme pain & cramping.

Sorry guys.

I wrote a message inside every card but I used labels for the addresses.

I have hand written everything every other year but I honestly don't have time to this year. It took me about 2 hours to do all the cards, past years it was around 5.

[Peppergirl]

You guys are sweet, thank you.

I am a big dork, though - and oddly enough, the biggest scrooge you'd ever wanna meet! Weird, huh?

But, I'm VERY much looking forward to doing this. It's my first time and I'm very, very excited!

I hand wrote all the envelopes for mine and signed them all, sealed them up with real spit (sorry!, it'll be dry when it reaches y'all) and then calculated postage. Oof! I'm hoping to get to the post office tomorrow to pick up stamps. Just before I go get an oil change. The two are going to run about the same.

I hand wrote everything because I nearly broke my printer with the sticker label sheets - apparently they end up crumpled up inside of it, no matter what I do. But I handwrote the addresses on the stickers just so that I could take them off and know they'd been done, haha.

I'm handwriting all mine, envelopes too a few at a time. I have hand trouble too but using labels runs the risk of pushing my postage costs up. I did good today though, I managed to find some fat chunky pens that'll be easier to hold

[Becks]

I'll be handwriting mine!!

At Dollar Tree, they have Christmas cards, boxes of 15 (16?), 18, and/or 20 for $1 a box.





*wonders if BE will hand deliver my card again this year *

Ok here is a really silly question, do we have to put the aka on the address? I am going to write my addresses and was wondering

[telecom_goddess]

I have to find labels I plan to try the printer thing.....I will write on the inside of the cards but all the addressing too sounds like a bit much LOL However if the printer thing doesn't work out then I will write them all ...whatever it takes to get them out.

I didn't. Just the legal name.

But I addressed all the cards inside with their forum name!

Cool thank you!!

[Ironclad Alibi]

On my envelopes I will have "Real Name (forum name)". I will be printing the envelopes on the printer. I do this every month for a newsletter I edit and send out. I need to get started on signing all the cards.

All the cards the fit with my idea are expensive. Like 6 cards for 25 dollars expensive. but there MUST BE BERRIES! THERE MUST! *returns to searching for Holly cards*

Got the stamps today! Will send the first batch out tomorrow. I will then buy more stamps when I get paid on Friday.

Some people are getting postcards, as I ran out of cards. I basically recycled some old cards, buy only using the front of the card, and turned the back into a postcard.
