I did it one year - maybe 2 years ago? I was amazed by all the cards! I ran out of cards, stamps, and steam and sent to about 2/3 of the list. It was a really lovely experience. I bought cards but wrote handwritten notes inside. That and addressing the envelopes cramped my hand really good. 😂 I would say I received about half homemade and half picture cards/store bought.

I'm glad I read this thread - I always thought this was for hand made cards only. I just may participate this year.

I have LOVED doing this for many years! Started on the old board. But I'm afraid the spirit in which Steff started this has changed. I can not abibe this card counting and spread sheet keeping stuff.
Still thinking about if I will sign up this year or not.
If the "rules" are still the same; send to who you can or want to, handmade, store bought, whatever.
Done in the spirit of Christmas. To give with no thought of what you get.
Then I would love to continue being a part of this.

The sign up is usually done by now...maybe @leowife is busy and can't be in charge?? I did this in the past and will not be doing it again (although I may use an old list and send some randomly). After learning about the "spreadsheet" keepers I am not participating.

Thank you christine58, I was hoping that it wasn't this. I'm still happy to help run it this year though.

I'm not participating this year, and didn't last year either. Loved it the few years I did though!
That said, since y'all have been trying to get this going for the last few weeks, and LEOwife hasn't posted, I think somebody needs to take the bull by the horns and take this over and not worry about stepping on toes. I know some people have already made their cards (I've seen a number on IG) for this year, and I'd hate to hear that all that work went to waste.
Have fun swapping ladies!

christinebk I would start a new thread if you want to organize it. I know @leowife used a separate email address for herself to get names/pea names/addresses. IMO easiest thing to do is to put them all in excel as they come in via email

Google forms is awesome because it collects the information and puts it in an excel sheet type form, so I wouldn't have type anything in

I’m going to sign up! I’ve said that every year but this year I will.
I’ve got some extra money this month, so I’d like to go ahead and buy some cards. Anyone have an online source that has nice quality cards that won’t totally break the bank? If I go ahead and purchase cards I will have to sign up.
