I did! This is my 2nd year. Had so much fun last year, I decided to make it my holiday tradition. I work on my cards through the year so it doesn’t overwhelm me. It’s fun to get cards postmarked from all over. Even my mailman enjoyed it!

I’m joining in. My husband is excited about it (because I’m excited and he’s happy to see me interested in crafting again) and has offered to help stamp. ❤️❤️❤️
We’re going to have a stamping party and watch movies while making the cards. 😄

I don't know if I can do a card swap, but I'll check it out. Where to sign up? How many cards?

I signed up. I skipped last year, but participated the year before.
FYI I suck at card making.

I had planned on joining, even had a head start on my card making but missed the sign up date(misread the date). It's just as well i found out that I won't have a pay cheque from december 7th to mid January due to renovations at our plant.

I did. I love getting cards. It is one of the highlights of the Christmas season. I was SO BAD about sending cards to family and friends for so many years, people don't send cards to me. (understandably so). But now I want cards so this is a perfect way of getting them.

People just aren't sending them like they used to. Every year there are fewer and fewer. I think social media has given a lot of people an out for something they always found burdensome, which I get - it's a lot of work and postage!

I had reached a point where the only Christmas cards I was receiving were promotional ones. Every card last year was a joy to receive.

I did. This is maybe my 4th or 5th time (but not all in a row). I send store-bought ones because I don't craft much more. I live in Hawai'i so I try to send Hawaiian-themed ones.

I'm in - I did notice that the peas aren't as wide spread as previous years. I wonder why? Yep I noticed that as well. I believe there were a few negative comments about some international Peas not sending cards earlier in the year but hope that didn’t put people off. It is an expensive business though. Unfortunately I won’t be able to afford to send to everyone on the list. Couldn’t believe that international postage has gone up again last time I went to the PO.

I've participated a few times and really enjoyed it. I do remember that griping but that wasn't why I didn't participate this year I missed the sign up my own fault but it was just as well because I found out I'm getting laid off for 5 to 6 weeks next month.

I too can't afford to send to everyone on the list - but I guess I will go without a bottle of wine or two to do my best. Last time I checked, postage was $2.70 (NZ) to the States and Canada - how much is it this year???
