Hi, all,
Welcome to the Quarter 2 2023 Spring/Easter/Happy Mail Card Exchange. This exchange will be open for sign up until March 15th. I'll get the list sent out shortly after the sign up closes. Cards are due by the middle of April. Easter is April 9th this year. You do not need to celebrate Easter to participate in this event. There is an option in the sign up form to indicate if you celebrate Easter or not and if you choose to do so, request other types of cards in the comments.
Rules (as usual):
1. You may use the name and address that you’re comfortable sharing. PEA name only? OK! First name only? OK! Dog’s name? OK! PO Box? OK! The form does require your Pea name in order that we can satisfy the requirement of rule 4.
2. The type of card you send (handmade, store bought, photo, postcard) is entirely up to you.
3. Please send to as many PEAS as you are able to. Please note that you may receive more or less cards than you send out.
4. This exchange is for active members of the board. Therefore, the exchange is restricted to members with at least 50 posts (Junior Member rank) only.
Interested? Here's the link to sign up. <<sign ups closed>>
Thanks everyone. I'll do my best to answer any qustions you might have.

So happy to see this. I will sign up when I get to my computer. I am working on making up some card kits and made 16 cards this weekend:) I found some Easter stamps this weekend so I will pull them back out for this exchange. I am hoping to use up more stash  . |

Huh. I think I may play. I seem to be in the mood for this. But maybe I'll sleep in it to make sure that mood doesn't change. Lol

I'm thinking about signing up for this, but I still have questions. How does the spring vs Easter thing actually work? If I assume that if I don't celebrate Easter, it's ok to not send Easter cards. Does that mean I send happy Spring cards to Easter celebrators? Or that I just send happy Spring cards to other Spring celebrators?
Sorry if this is a stupid question.
And I know that I have mere hours to decide.

And I know that I have mere hours to decide. The sign up asks if you celebrate Easter. You can put what you do celebrate and card makers send a spring card to those who do not celebrate Easter. I am sending Spring cards. There will be bunnies but the sentiment will be spring geared. |

And I know that I have mere hours to decide. I’m not the host but have been in these for a while. Absolutely you can send happy spring to those that celebrate Easter. I only made spring cards last year but planning to make a mix this year as I bought a cute stamp set I want to use |

OK. Quick look into the craft stash says that this is doable.
I'm in.

And I know that I have mere hours to decide. Don’t think too much longer. Sign ups close today. As to your question, did you see this in the OP: “You do not need to celebrate Easter to participate in this event. There is an option in the sign up form to indicate if you celebrate Easter or not and if you choose to do so, request other types of cards in the comments.” I am Jewish. I send spring cards. Last year I received both spring and Easter cards from participants. This card exchange is very easy. The only real rules are those in the OP. |
