For those who have my address, it's still the same.

I got one from karen yesterday. Thank you.  8)

Got a card from Karen and Patty & James today. Thanks! :)


As for me: please be patient. I still have to go and buy cards (which isn't going to be easy, I'm afraid), and then I have to write them... I don't expect to be in time for Christmas this year.

I got a card from Patty a couple of days ago as well.  Thanks. :)

I finally got to buying cards today. Now all I have to do is write them... ::)

I received a lovely card from Gis today - thank you

Sure beats getting your card in May, like what happened a year or two ago..  ;D

I got a awesome cat card from Gis today.  I wonder how she knows I like cats?  :-\\ ;D

I STILL haven't done my cards yet.  :-[  I have been spending most of my time making a slide show for the newlyweds for Christmas. Almost done with it so then I will be able to work on my cards.




Cat

Hmm I have no idea..... ;D

Cat


Me either.  Heck, I haven't even bought them yet.  Guess I better get on it. ;D

..and here I thought I, too, was a procrastinator. I have all of the cards I wish to send; all I need to do is write them.

Me either.  Heck, I haven't even bought them yet.  Guess I better get on it. ;D



I bought mine a couple of years ago when the store across the street was going out of business.  :D ;D ;D ;D


Did anyone read Dear Abby today?


DEAR ABBY: Five years ago, when my niece was 9, we came up with the idea of making Christmas cards and sending them out to special friends and family members. We both work hard to make sure each is attractive and in good taste, and we handwrite a personal note inside. We also print on the back that the card was "handmade with love." This has become a tradition for the two of us, and the cards are quite beautiful.

Last year, after we sent them out, I received a card from a friend with a small check inside. The card read, "I'm sending you this check so you can afford to buy 'real cards' next year." I was, to say the least, hurt and offended. I wondered if others felt similarly, so I asked around and was shocked to learn they, too, thought I was "cheap." Although it cost more money and time to create each card, no one appreciated them.

We won't be making the cards this year, but how do I tell my niece why? I don't want her feelings hurt, too. -- BLUE AT CHRISTMAS

DEAR BLUE: Tell your niece what you were told -- and by whom -- so she won't waste any more effort on these rude and unappreciative individuals. Better she hear it from you than one of the recipients.

As to the "friend" who sent the check, I hope you returned it and deleted her from your Christmas card list. What she did was uncalled for.



I just couldn't believe that. Having made cards myself, I know what goes into making them.



Cat

Cat

Cat
;D just read that fast missed the comma and thought you were saying 'thanks man' to me.

I would NEVER call you, "man."  ;)  I could replace "man" with some other "colorful metaphor" as Spock calls it.  ;) :D ;D ;D ;D



Cat

Man, I STILL have to start working on mine.  :-[



Cat

I've still gotta do the same with mine too. I already popped one in the mail yesterday.

Got a card from Karen today.  Thanks so much...it was a pleasant surprise. :)

Got a card from ladybug today.  Thanks Shannon  :-*

Got cute penguin cards from karen in England and nally today.  Thank you kindly.  :)

Glad you received/enjoyed it! 8) :-*

Mailed my cards today. Hope I haven't forgotten anyone...

Finally got some more of my cards off into the mail today.  Still have to make it in to the post office to weigh the England ones, but might just look it up on the United States Post Office website and guess how many stamps to use and hope for the best.

Got a card from statsqueen (Amy and Micah) today.  :)

I think something got lost in translation.  Either that, or ... well, it's Japan.  What'd everyone expect?

Got a card from statsqueen (Amy and Micah) today.  :)

I sent one in the mail to her on Friday. :)

I think all mine have now been posted.  Glad to hear some of the US ones have arrived.  Apologies to one or two that will probably arrive after Christmas.

Finally got a card from someone on this board today! Namely, Krissy (HotStuff).




Apologies to one or two that will probably arrive after Christmas.

Some of mine will probably arrive at their respective destinations after Christmas, too.

Well ... I'm mailing mine out tomorrow (12/21)  ::)

I have received several cards so far. Karen, Gis, Patty, statsqueen and Kathie!
Thank you all so very much!

I am to tell that Kathie has serious computer issues but as soon as it is fixed, she will be back! 8)

ooh, that reminds me! I still haven't sent your card in the mail...so you'll probably be getting it after Christmas since I live across the country from you. I hope you don't mind!

re: Kathie: I'd been worried about her since I hadn't heard much from her...but thanks for letting us know!

sorry that my cards will be late, I've been procrastinating but I spent my lunch addressing envelopes and now I need to buy stamps and by tomorrow, they will be on the way to your mailboxes  8)

You should do what I do, have all of your addresses in a document (I prefer WordPerfect). Then before you are ready to do your cards, look it over and make additions, deletions, changes, etc. and then print on Avery labels. That way you don't have to WRITE out each one. It is a lot easier-and faster.

Good suggestion, Cat. I think you can also do it in MS Word but I have not experimented with it enough times.

That person was an idiot!  >:(

One of my friends made cards from her family using their Mii's.... for those of you who don't Wii.... a Mii is a character you create to use on Wii...typically the character is created to look like you.. she took pics of her Mii's (the entire family's) and then put them on a card that read Wii Wish You a Merry Christmas.... I thought it was quite clever. She was so excited about it. some of her older relatives who don't Wii didn't get it... other people who have Wii'd thought it was lame.. .she was hurt.

Wish I'd seen this pic sooner I would've used it as my avatar!  ;D

I received cards from several members here! Thanks....

Okay now everyone close your eyes! Visualize the prettiest/funniest christmas card you've ever seen...

okay now open it up... can you see it?



It reads "Happy New Year from Q & Effie"


And that's the closest I've come to doing cards this year!  ;D 
sorry but I still love you guys

today's mail had 2 cards, one from Jeff (nally) and 1 from Cat and Carlos. thank you all



I'm glad it actually came BEFORE Christmas.



Cat

Got a card from Cat and Carlos today.  Thank you.  :-*

I got a beautiful card from Henk today!  :)


Glad you like it! And just in time for Christmas as well...

I received a card from Badfinger Fan & a calender from Karen. Thank you. I feel guilty because I didn't get you anything, Karen.  :-[ :-[ (The funny thing is, I received a card from ANOTHER Karen today, too-but not someone from this board. I have two other friends named Karen-one in Alaska & one in Mass. VERY common name.)



Cat

I got a card from Badfinger Fan today.  Thanks, Mike. It was beautiful.

That would be way cool. Maybe some day but I don't see it in the near future because we always go to PR-family obligations.



Cat

Mailed my cards today. Hope I haven't forgotten anyone...


Thanks Henk, I just got home from a short trip at sea, to find your card on the table  :)
with a chappy penguin cheeping all the time to my delight and to get annoyed my neighbours ::)




and I'm ashame to own up not to sending mine yet :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[

when I sail then and there mail don't work and I forgot do it before

Definitely Badfinger is right, procasti is a nation no one sould live in, but for me is happen to be my hated home  >:( >:(

I hope you'll understand :( :(

It's okay, Paco - I understand. :) Take your time.

I got a card from Badfinger fan today too.  Beautiful.

I still didn't get my England ones out.  Hubby has been sick the past three weeks and everytime I go out, I walk off without the cards.  I'm so ditzy lately.
