Never participated in this before but I think my 4 year old would love getting mail for Christmas!! And I have a huge stash of store bough Xmas cards from years I never got around to sending so this would be perfect!!! Thanks for putting this together! Super excited. The first year I participated, both my kids were already teenagers, and they still LOVED opening the cards, and marking on a map where they came from. Welcome to the card exchange, and enjoy every minute of the desperately needed fun and love!

The most wonderful time of the year! My kids are grown and out of the house, but usually come home for Sunday dinner. I save the cards all week and we open around the dinner table. So excited to once again participate!

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. I missed this- I am so sorry that you were affected by Hurricane Florence- we are more inland in NC, so we got lucky. Can I send you anything to build up your stash? What are specifically interested in? I'm happy to send you a package!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE OFFER!!Insurance is covering my craft destruction, so I get to go shopping, just waiting on our craft stores...Amazon is fun. Just an FYI, do not put rubber stamps through the dishwasher, hubby was trying to help....they melt! Now if you want to come and encourage the adjuster who low balled our roof and I'm now discussing it calmly to get it adjusted, I'm open to that...LOL. Really thank you for the offer, it is really appreciated. I love the Peas!!!

Glad you get to shop leowife. If there is something you can’t find, please let us know, someone might have it to send you And, woohooo, I’m signed up! Perfect timing as yesterday one of my designs was a total fail and I’m heading to my room to see if I can salvage 19 cards!

Holy smokes, how am I just now seeing this? I have to consider carefully if I have time to do this but I have always wanted to. Thinking... Use store-bought cards, then it really won't take much time. I've never made a card in my life, and don't plan to start this year (mostly because I have no idea how to make them, and no time, lol). A lot of people used store-bought. As for the time it takes to address and write them all, I decided that this year I am starting that the second I get the list. I won't mail them immediately but they'll be all ready to go. Last year I left it too late and ended up having to do too many all at once. And I am going to do the international ones immediately.

Thank you monklady123. I love making cards so I hope I'll have time to. If not, I'll definitely find some cute pre-made ones. I love writing out, sending and receiving Christmas cards! Off to sign up!

Holy smokes, how am I just now seeing this? I have to consider carefully if I have time to do this but I have always wanted to. Thinking... As much as I wanted to do homemade cards this year, life got in the way, so I will be sending store-bought. Lots of people send store-bought ones!! And I take a couple of weeks to get mine sent out. I try to sign and address 8-10 per night and every couple of days I drop a stack in the mail. I saw your most recent post that you are signing up. It's so much fun and makes Christmas so much happier! I didn't sign up two years ago and really missed getting all the awesome Pea cards in the mail.

Hope itʻs okay to post this. Iʻm in Hawaiʻi and if anyone specifically wants a Hawaiian-themed Christmas card, please pm me as I donʻt know if I will be able to get a card to every single person on the list. I will try to but it depends on how long the list gets! In the past, I have sent ones shaped like Aloha Shirts, ones with Hawaiian Santas, etc ... storebought ones! ETA: If you don't pm me, I may miss your post, so be sure to pm if you want one. I will confirm that I got your pm should you send one.

I just saw this post so I'm glad I checked back tonight before getting off the computer. I've participated the last few years and it's such a huge hit in our house each year. I really, really want to make my cards this year but it depends on how my chronic migraines are doing. If they get better I'll make them. If they are bad I won't be able to and I'll use store bought. I'm in a wait and see attitude right now. Not going to stress over it. I just started a new preventive medication so hopefully (fingers crossed) it starts working well.
I love this swap and those who are new are in for a real treat!
