Ladies, its that popular time of the year when we announce our Christmas Card Exchange.

Participation is open to any member of this forum, and I can tell you from my own experience, you don't want to miss out on the fun!

Last year, the day would find me with my nose pressed against the storm door waiting un-patiently for the mailman. I wanted cards. I would bolt out the door when I saw their vehicle approaching hollering "gimme! gimme!"

I think I scared them. Almost without fail, and for weeks I received (as did everyone else) a new card in the mail with a sweet note, a picture, or a message of friendship. I can tell you my holiday season was enhanced by your thoughtfulness!

Please note: This year, we have opted out of the Christmas Gift Exchange. We had a couple of instances last year that drove this decision.


Christmas Card Exchange- Guidelines

If you would like to participate in the Christmas Card Exchange, here's is what I will need via email from each of you:

Your first and last name.
Your "Call" name on the site (i.e., mine is jawjaw) and email address
Your full address, City, State and Zip code.


DO NOT POST THIS INFO IN THE FORUMS! Send you info to: georgia@boomerwomenspeak.com

Around the first week in December you will receive a document by email (please make sure you give me a good, working email) with the names and addresses of all the women who have chosen to participate so you can address and send you cards.

Although I say I am, I'm not perfect. I may overlook someone. Please---LET ME KNOW...because this is FOR YOU! And we would NEVER want to leave anyone out.

If you have any questions, please send them to my email address listed above.

I might be interested if I can get it together....we're moving Dec. 27. It does sound like fun.

However Dec.1 is way way too late for me. My cards would need to go out before Thanksgiving or maybe a bit earlier. Can you bump up the time frame?

I have a few cards left from previous years I'd love to send out. Russian Christmas isn't till January so cards aren't even available here till a week or two before. I wouldn't have but maybe one or two or three to send, but I'd love to!

Count me is as usual...Too good to pass up. I got so many beautiful cards and messages. I displayed them all as they came in and my home looked unbelievable.

As much as I'd like to, I have to opt out also. My company altered our bonus pay and I've already lost money. That's the corporate way.

OK - shameless plug here.

For those of you who want to participate but are "card challenged" you may send them through my website for:

.98 a card plus .41 postage (even you ladies overseas may do it at those prices - they are mailed from Salt Lake).

Anywho....go to http://www.easyonlinecards.com


Send ONE for free ...then I can tell you how to send more.

Hugs,
and count me in this year. (I'm in MUCH better shape this year).

Girls,
Please make sure you send your info to my email address so that I can have a record of it. I'm keeping them in a special folder and the email is verification that YOU sent the info to me, YOU wanted to participate, and that WE didn't just throw you name in the hat. Please do not send me a private message.

And I wanted everyone to know that we ALL have Chatty to thank for this fun card exchange. It was her idea two years ago and she is the one who gave birth to it.

THANK YOU CHATTY!!!
