Hey guys!

We just had our first snow, Monday is the Nov 24th and I bought an advents wreath last week... the signs can't be mistaken: Christmas is coming!

I really loved our little Christmas card project last year and was wondering if you're interested in doing something similar this year?

What do you think?

Sure! Count me in!

Can you handle the address list for us?

Sure thing.

Mhmm... if everyone could PM me their addy until... say... Dec 1? To make sure everyone has enough time to get cards, write and post them and have them arrive roughly around Christmas? LOL! You know how slow postal service is around the holidays.

I'm in! Last year was fun! Lotsa mail

Hehe, you beat me to it Maja! I was going to start this thread today

Of course I'm in and I'll check with Nadia too, though I'm sure she'll be in as well. She still doesn't have home access to the internet and her work access is restricted so she can't access most sites.

I so loved getting all the cards last year - and I seem to recall that yours was particularly well received Maja

Teehee, I just looked at the thread from last year and you started it on Nov 20th and we set the deadline to Dec 1st as well! So far the list is also identical with the one last year (just a few names are missing so far), so you're making it really easy for me! (Yes, I still have the PM stored from last year)

I put Nadia on the list, I'm pretty sure she wants to participate again. Does her normal email addy work, Faran? Then I can email her the address list next week.

I hope Ratty will see this thread in time, I think she's moving into her new apartment around now?

Ah yes, my cards last year Unfortunately I sent all of the cards last year, I didn't keep any to myself even. My cards this year will probably be a little more traditional... unless the Christmas spirit and creativity strikes me unexpectedly.

I know I've been MIA from here in the last months but still got your addresses from last year and was going to send you a Christmas card so count me in too

Count me in as well. I really enjoy it last year.
Lori

Is your address from last year still your current one, Talliann?

I got your PM, Lori!

Yes, it is

Okay, gotcha then.

count me in to just send me the adress
and I do have a new address now

Got your PM, thanx!

Any more participants? I'm gonna wait till tomorrow around noon (my time) to send out the PM, so if anyone wants to join in, there's still time left!

And everyone is welcome, regular, lurker or newbie!

PM sent to Selkie, Myha, Faran, Ratty, Talliann and Puppyquest!

Did I miss someone? Did you all get the PM? Please let me know, I don't want anyone to miss out!

Cards written! All I need now is a trip to the post office!

Cards are ready to be stamp
which I forgot to buy while I was in town yesterday

Off they went!

Their off!

I got my first card today!! Thank you so much Lori (puppyquest)!! That was such a nice surprise after a bit of a crappy day. I kinda growled at my mailbox thinking it'd be just another stupid bill and instead it was a lovely Christmas card!! That made my day!

Got my first card. Thanks, Ratty!

I got Ratty's on Thursday and Faran's today!! YAY!!!

Thank you puppyquest and Faran for the cards!

Faran, I Was specially touched by your words.

I got last week Ratty and puppy beatiful Christmas cards!

I got Nadia and Faran pretty Christmas cards

I'm a little worried. I sent my cards on the fifth and NO ONE got theirs yet...

Hey guys,
Sorry for not posting sooner. My co-worker has been having a terrible year and for the last couple of months has been working from home, which has created havoc in the office. That, combined with trying to get a few days off for Christmas has meant 10-12 hour work days. Anyway, in the past two weeks I received Faran's card and Ratty's card. In that order. Then today i received Talliann's card. Since I am leaving for my mom's right after work tomorrow, the rest will have to wait for me in my mailbox till I get home.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all.
Lori

Happy Holidays Lori - enjoy Brighton (I'm assuming that's where you're headed).

I hope your situation at work improves soon.

As of yesterday's mail check, I've gotten Lori's and Ratty's. I'm sure the rest will arrive shortly.

My twin sends me. She had a few very stressful weeks at work and then she got a really bad cold over the weekend, so she says she is terribly sorry but her Christmas cards will be late but she hasn't forgotten about us.

Right now she's busy wrapping "millions of pressies" as she said, so I'm being the good twin, taking over the task of delivering this message.

\well, if you don't get one from me it's because something fishy happened at my Post Office...

I got 4 today!

Lucky you! All I had in my mailbox today was a letter from my bank! I didn't open it, whatever it is, it can wait till after the holidays!

I think I've got all cards from you guys by now... only my twin's missing... and Selkie, I *think*. I can't shake off the feeling that I got your card, Selkie, but it's not with my other cards, so I don't know if I just dreamed holding your card in my hand or if it was last years... will have a proper look later on!



Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas!!!

Well, it's official, I guess. It's been three weeks and NO ONE got my cards.

So, I'm sorry.

Rest assured though that I had you in my thoughts this Christmas!

LADY-S, that's a real bummer(sp) !!..a little late, but am hoping that you fans had a joyous Christmas!

I'm late too, but I hope you all had a wonderful, lovely christmas this year

I got Maja's card a week ago (sorry, forgot to post it before). And don't worry Selkie, it's okay

Hope everyone had a good Christmas and wish you all an amazing 2009!

YAY! My friend Helen got hers yesterday in England! So there's hope!

Happy New Year everyone!

Thank you, Maja, for the lovely card! It arrived today.

You're welcome! And it only arrived "a little" too late.... *cough*

Guess what arrived today at my house?

I'm hoping it's my long lost card!

You're hoping right! Thank you for your nice words. Just for the record: It's not hard work for me, I love doing it.

YAY! Man, I think the Post Office sent them on horseback!

Aw, you deserve all kind works I can send your way.

All kind works, huh? LOL! Was that a Freudian slip?

Probably!

I got your card today Selkie! thanks

YAY! One month later, I guess it went via Pony Express!

was not Pony Express, more like rowboat! )) got a nice card yesterday--THANKS!))) LADY-S, while I have you on the phone, do you Brazilians kick-off Carnival on the Feast of the Epiphany(arrival of the Wise Men/12 days after Christmas) there is a crew here named Tewlfth Night Revelers who start the festivities---on a street car http://www.yatcom.com/neworl/mardi/12thnite.html

Selkie, I got your nice Christmas card yesterday.

We do celebrate the Three Wise Men day. They bring our Christmas presents here instead of Santa.

Ah, cool. We have the "Dia de Reis" too. But Santa delivers the gifts.
