Each of the last couple of years, we have had a group going that shared our mailing addresses so that we could each send birthday greetings to all the other members. The idea was to make or purchase a card for each of the other members, then get it into the mail ahead of their special day in the hopes it would arrive in time.
This new round would start in September, and go until the following August. Please indicate by replying to this message if you would like to be included. No need to give your birth date or even your birth month here. When we have 12 to 15 members, I will include everyone in a group PM where we can share dates and mailing information.
Tagging people who have played in the past: Restless Spirit , DawnMcD , kitbop , LisaDV , JustTricia , gramma , freeatlast , justjac , paperaddict , JaneB , christinec68 , mom , sarahbee

I'm going to drop out this time. I can't keep up - then I feel awful.

Although I am still kinda new, I am interested in signing up  I was an avid letter - writer back in the day, and that lead to my interest in scrapbooking. I continue to enjoy sending and receiving mail. Thanks for organizing this, grammadee - this looks like a lot of fun |

thinking about it - just worried I might not keep up Last round, some people made all of the cards at one sitting, and then mailed them out close to the dates. In the group PM, there are usually reminders to nudge us to get the cards in the mail. BTW, if YOU can’t keep up, we are ALL in trouble, LOL. sorry you won’t be joining in again, JustTricia. So far we have grammadee, Eddie-n-Harley, babylou, scrappington, ebbie, Restless Spirit, justjac. |

I'm thinking about this. How many people signs up for this grammadee ? In the last few years we have had between 10 and 15 participants. Will try to keep it about there again so no one feels overwhelmed. No more than 20 for sure...
So far we have FOURTEEN: grammadee , Eddie-n-Harley , babylou , scrappington , ebbie , Restless Spirit , justjac , Linda , tc , deekaye , beachhappy22 , iowagirl50147 , freeatlast and azcrafty. |

No one minds even if you decide you need to purchase a card to send it; it is all about making connections. But if you do want to try your hand at card making, go for it! We all have our own style and what seems impossible for some of us is easy for others!
Just a note that a few of us are in Canada, so be prepared for international postage...

For anyone who hasn't bought them before, you can get international forever stamps from USPS... they're $1.20 each (sheet of 10 for $12) and they are currently in chrysanthemum and poinsettia. Covers up to a 2 ounce letter to Canada and 1 ounce to any other country. |

Awesome. I edited the last count to include you.
Anyone else? I will leave this open until tomorrow evening, and then close the sign up. Will start a group PM soon so we can get to know each other a little bit.
