I popped mine in the post yesterday - so hoping you will all get them in a timely manner. Unfortunately, I cannot send to everyone on the list, but I will try and post some more next week....
I have received oodles already - and I love them all! A mix of handmade, purchased, simple and layered - I love them. Thank you!

Well, I bought all the supplies for homemade, even stamped a bunch of the top layer and then got to thinking about how i need another layer before I put them on the cards I also picked up. Never mind coloring in the stamp i was going to use
Nah, ended up using all store bought ones. Whipped through them in two nights. Thankful that my SO was working the 11-7 shift so he came over before work and helped stamped and return address label them. Felt great dropping them all in the mailbox this morning.
Thanks to all the beautiful cards so far. Nothing like having actual mail, no bills included!

Omg that is hysterical! I can't believe yourcat just say there watching the mouse!!!

All my cards have been delivered to the post office. I was able to send to everyone, and by everyone I mean myself included. I had help from my 4 & 7 year old grand nieces, and forgot to remove my label from the sheet. I sent a mix of hand made and boxed cards. For those that receive 3D "plastic" cards, those were chosen by the girls. They also instructed me to sign them big and with a fancy heart! Enjoy .

I’m not taking part in the swap this year, so finding a card in my Mail box today was a huge (and very welcome) surprise.

birukitty , I am sorry about your husband's job loss. I wish him well in his job search. Thank you so much Cristelina. We're staying positive about this and hopeful. On another note the video with your cat just watching the mouse is hilarious! I'm fairly sure my Jesse would act the same way. He is an only cat and makes friends with every bug or spider he comes across in the house. He never pounces on them, catches them or torments them like most cats would. Instead he pats them every so gently with one paw and sits beside them gently just watching them. I think if he ever came across a mouse in our house it'd just be a bigger friend for him

THANK YOU for all the beautiful cards! I'm having a horrible time and getting the cards every day is truly the highlight of my day. I finally got all of the cards hung on my wall. I hope this picture works!

Cards to everyone being mailed right now. DH is walking into the postal office as I type this. All store-bought I’m afraid but they are on their way.

Sending more tomorrow...some might be late (close to Xmas) because my dad is not good. He's on a chemo pill once a day for the rest of his life (he's 84) for renal cell cancer. It's taking a lot out of him. So they are my priority right now but am going to sit and watch football with him today while I address a ton!!

I see the problem here: only 1 cat! How is he supposed to surround and contain the mouse without backup?

I'm just loving getting everyone's cards. I've had a tough time this year feeling, so down. But I look forward to checking the mail! Planned on doing handmade ones this year but ran out of time. Thank you for taking the time to brighten my day

Finally— my first batch goes out tomorrow, which includes all of the international cards! I’m hoping to have them all sent out by the end of the week—which is good because Friday will be December 20th!

Please don’t feel like you need to worry about the cards. If you do them, fine but you have enough stress without us adding to it. Best of luck to you and your family.

My international are going out tomorrow and US will be out by Friday...mine have evolved to more of a New Years card, since I’m not sure they’ll all be delivered in time. I’m enjoying all the cards I’ve been getting from everyone. Each one puts a smile on my face. I’ll be including some of my favorites in my December daily...but I don’t know how I’m going to narrow them down. Love every single one.

I so wanted to do this again this year, having participated in 2017 (last year we were in the middle of moving, so I couldn't do it). But I just haven't been well enough. Hopefully next year. Because I absolutely loved receiving cards; going to the mailbox was the highlight of my day! Enjoy, everyone!

If he is taking Cabometyx, that is a tough one. DH has no appetite. Although, he does still like sweets! I have found that cold things often taste better to DH. He makes himself malts and includes a packet of Carnation Instant Breakfast. I also make him pasta salads. Also, if he is complaining about things not tasting good, try using plastic silverware. Sitting and watching football with your dad is awesome.

Thank you to lisacharlotte! I did not join in this year so you must be going off of an older list. It was so nice to get a card in the mail. I have received 5 so far from friends and family. After 3 years, we found out recently that my husband will be finally getting a full time job in the new year! So I'll most likely join again next year.

I am so sorry about your dad. If he is taking Cabometyx, that is a tough one. That is what he is taking (although not right now while in the hospital). His issue with food is that his mouth is so dry, it's sticking to his teeth etc. He's been on it for 3 months and just recently has had these issues.

I pulled all the internationals from the previous two years and added them to my list. I love sending holiday happiness!!! I always feel bad that the cost to send to the US is so expensive. Doing my part to send pea ❤️.
