Count me in! I'm not prepared for it at all, but I always seem to pull it off. It's really so much fun to be getting all that happy mail in December!

If there's an ornament exchange then I'm in. I really try to limit the amount of stuff I take on at the holidays and making my own cards is one of those things. That said, I know we will have an extra stained glass ornament this year that I can send to someone if an exchange is afoot.

I did the card exchange last year and I've never made a card in my life. And I wasn't the only one who sent store-bought, there were a lot of them.

Thank you to @leowife for organizing this!
I did the card swap last year for the first time. I handmade every single card and sent to everyone; that was about 135 cards! And I don't even like making cards!
I don't remember how many I received, but each one was admired and displayed, and many of them I've kept to reuse the front for the next swap.
I was planning on being a part of this again this year, but we are moving, and I've already packed up most of my craft supplies. Our moving truck leaves on December 26th. So no cards for me this year. But by next year we'll be in our new home in Florida, or Alabama, or Georgia, or Arizona, lol! So I'll share with you all in 2019!

I typically donβt make cards but my friend is doing a print making workshop in November for cards. So I may make them this year. Otherwise I try to find nice cards to send.

Last year you and all of my west coast peas did not receive a card from me. I mailed out international first, then east coast and worked my way to my coastal peas. As I ran out of time, guess who didn't get a card from me So if I happen to have last years list are you still at that address

Yep, still here until December 31st when we hand over the keys to the new owner. Note we'll already have had no furniture for 6 days by then. And I just realized that on Christmas Day, we'll have to be putting furniture in the truck. Oh good gravy! Not the best timing!

I know, and the one year I did it I cleaned out my boxes of store bought cards and sent to almost the entire list it was great. As a result I have no more store bought cards and if I buy some it's like letting rabbits loose in my house. They multiply.

Hi,
Pea's anyone know the "Admin" personally. I don't need to know who she is but man would I appreciate any help. I'd like to make the sign up live but can only do that if the thread is stuck to the front page or it will get lost on the board.
Thanks for any help.

What if we all commit to bumping it every chance we get? Would that work? Or, I wonder if it's possible to email the Proboards people to appeal to them for some help?

Y'all are far ahead of me. My stash went away courtesy of Hurricane Florence. Oh well, trip to the craft stores with YDD tomorrow. No school for another week. Oh no!! So sorry to hear that. Thanks for organizing this again I'm not sure if I will participate this year, but it was wonderful to have a full PO Box for a month. The staff at my post office were really impressed by how much mail I got! I was talking to one a few weeks ago and she talked about how full my box was last Christmas. She thought my business must have been doing really well >.< ETA: looks like this has been pinned now
