I think I'm going to have to set up a map for my kids so we can pin where all the cards are coming from! Has anyone else done that before? Great idea! I might have to steal it from you!

I'm cutting it close, but I'll have an address by Thursday. We're moving the first half of December, and I wanted to get a P.O. box in the new town anyway. And tomorrow is the soonest we'll be able to get out there during postal business hours. That way I don't have to worry about mail getting lost in the move or sitting in the mailbox at the new house.

Told my husband and my daughter that I plan to make over 100 Christmas cards; they both think I'm crazy, though my daughter did say she'd make some with me.
Got started on Sunday; made 14, I think. Hubby said that if I was going to be sending cards to over a hundred people I didn't know, maybe I could manage to send a card to our real-life friends, lol!

I realize I made a mistake when I filled out the form. I am Kimmie75, not Kimmie12 as I must have written in the sign up sheet. Sorry! Can it be corrected?

Just signed up ~ I'm a virgin in the Holiday Card Swap but each year I was sorry I didn't participate. I've never made cards but I'm going to give it a go. Otherwise you'll get a photo greeting card. So excited!

I'm going to sign up although I haven't been able to send to the entire list for the past two years. I am going to try this year! Some homemade cards, some store bought.

If I recall correctly, last year I sent 127 cards , or maybe it was 117...anyhow....a kind pea formatted the address list for printing and then shared it with those who asked. Is there anyone who might be willing to do that again? I have absolutely no idea how to do it otherwise I'd do it myself. Addressing the envelopes is the only "bad" part of the whole shebang IMO. The year before I addressed 80-something envelopes for the swap and my hand was SORE! Thanks for any help you can offer!

We will be sending out a PDF and a mailing label format of all address so those that wish to print labels can easily do that.

Poop. I signed up, but 10 minutes late. If I’m not in, no worries. I waffled on it too long.

I shared my label format last year with some of the participants- and plan to do it again this year- making the cards is fun- addressing them - not so much! LOL I know others plan to create labels and share them- the more the merrier! I think 127 was the number last year!

Thanks so much for setting this up, @leowife!
I am a newbie to this, and I was wondering:
When you send out the mailing list, who will it be coming from? I didn't want to miss it in all the spam that lands in my inbox every day.

And the list is in my Inbox... 136 labels... Wow!
It has been fun putting together a few cards whenever I have a moment. I have over a hundred cards, but few of them have insides, so I need to focus on that, now.
Looking forward to so much happy mail around the holidays!

Thank you for the list of names & addresses. I’m really looking forward to making, sending & receiving all the Pea cards! A digit of my zip code is missing on the master list. It should be 08852.

Post by ihaveonly1l on Oct 18, 2017 15:19:35 GMT
I've updated the master list with zip codes that start with zero. Google automatically deleted them.
I would like to give non USA peas a day or two to check their numbers and then I will send out a corrected lists and labels.
If you are a USA pea, I've made the corrections. If you are a non-USA pea and have an error, please let me know.
Thanks!
