2010 Christmas Card Exchange-Tally up!!!

[Aethian]

Bought ya'll cards on Amazon. They are cute, tiny and cheap. I'm really excited about this, I think mostly because I want a distraction from school.

How tiny? Just like cards can be too big and get a surcharge, the same can be for too small of a card.

Thanks for the wishes guys. I've got some postcards, so I'll keep saving up postcards throughout the year so all I have to do when the time comes around for next year is save up postage and get the list.

really? for too small?

If they are too small they can't be run through the sorting machines and must be done completely by hand from start to finish. Should see what a un-caught little card can do to mail if it gets stuck. I have seen them start mini fires before because of friction.

Mine are 5 inches by 3 and 1/2 inches....5 inches in length and 3 and 1/2 in height....

Should be good then. I was thinking the little ones were those square 2X2 ones someone did last year.

Not that small, just smaller than normal. Thanks for looking out for us.

I remember that one. Pretty sure it was from outside of the US. I almost didn't get it because I can barely reach to the bottom of my mailbox. If it hadn't been caught with the other mail it would have fallen to the bottom and would probably still be there.

My cousin's wife sent me a thank you card for her wedding shower, which was in April (a couple years ago). It was a standard-sized notecard, 3x5 or so, and I found it pushed to the bottom (it got bent and pushed down by other mail) totally by chance...in December! I think it got knocked loose finally. It was postmarked May and sprinkled with dirt and cobwebs.

Unfortunately I had to opt-out of the list this year due to some emergencies that hit, which I will explain in a massive, ranty little post somewhere on the site. I will definately try to do it next year though

As soon as I finish my intermediate accounting homework today I am going to start working on designing the cards (yes, I will be making my own, thank you Hallmark Card Maker )
I'm also designing my wedding announcements soon, so PM me if you want me to send a wedding invite too at the same time (it will only be a rough draft though since the wedding is not until the end of April).

[PsychoTeddyAppear]

I know I post next to nothing but I can't wait to exchange cards with all you lovely people

Blast I just realised the other day I missed the sign ups for this. Freaking hell to me! It would have been my 5th year in a row to. Dang and blast my crappy memory!

ETA

I just tried to sign up and it looks like I squeaked in by the hair on my chiney chin chin!

5th year, 5 different address. I swear to god I won't even be here next christmas either HAHA!

[Pedersen]

Yay, Kiwi!

Yeah, the sign up closing is kind of a tricky thing to do, especially since we have users from all over. If they close at midnight, GMT, then somebody in California could be justifiably upset. So, we had to put some slack in. Now, if memory serves, until PepSquad posts that signups are closed (that's what I'm thinking happens, but I don't remember for certain), they're open.


I think we're now at 60 people on the list... Cool
