Sorry, but I’m going to say No as well. While I have the lowest post count of anyone in the exchange, I’ve been here a long time and have a history here. I think that’s important. Nope, you don't  But I am "vetting" those who's names I don't recall seeing before. |

FYI I have a bunch of Fall/Thanksgiving cards that also might go out ahead of Christmas...(I will still send Holiday ones too) you can send me Thanksgiving instead of Christmas ... I’m not picky.  |

I just added this to the first post of this thread:
Sign ups are closed. We have a total of 54 PEAS participating. We need a postal code from one participant and then the list will go out. I'll post here when it has been sent.

I laugh. Not at you but rather with you. This so could be me at any given time. I like to say creativity is a mess. Yep, that's it. My explanation and I'm sticking to it. I'm in the middle of a move and have store bought (for the first time ever) to mail. But now I have the itch to "create". We'll see. PS I would love colored in crayon. Could turn out cool and if not, relatable.  Crisis averted! I found them in the guest room closet. That makes no sense whatsoever. But if creativity is a mess, then I’m the most creative person EVER.  |

Oh no....i was thinking I still had time with you being west coast. If I can jump in...please let me know....ugh. Sorry. I had been following the prohect, but was waiting until last day to know if I could still handle it after doing a crazy number of voting postcards. Finished that yesterday and came on here to sign up. It would make a nice 55 number... Seriously though, you snooze you lose, so if not I'll just have to get over it. I thought today was the last day...as in it could still be done. Ugh. Sure, you’ll be the LAST one PEAMAIL me all of the following info in one message ASAP today and I’ll add you. email address (this is how you receive the card exchange info, will not be shared with others) December holiday(s) you celebrate (optional) Pea name Real name (optional) Full mailing address |

GOOD MORNING! I just sent the participant list via email. It is titled: 2PEAs Holiday Card Exchange! - and is coming from a very old yahoo email address that I never use, so please make sure that is hasn't been caught up in your spam/junk folder. Do not reply to that email, I don't check it at all. Thanks! Some may have received 2 emails, one without the attachment and one with...ooops! We had a couple of late sign ups, so double check the participant count As soon as the address labels have been formatted I'll send them along and will post here to let you know they're on their way. |

I had offered earlier up-thread to mail cards for our international participants. That offer still stands, and I am HAPPY to do so.... here's how it'll work (trying to make things as easy as possible for myself): 1. I will order stamps again at the end of this week, so we need to take care of it before then. I do not want to go into the PO to buy them in person. My last order of stamps took a while to receive - I don't recall exactly how long but I'd guesstimate it was 2-3 weeks so I want to just take care of it now and not give it another thought. 2. Postage within the US is $.55USD. Figure out how many US cards you're going to send. Multiply that by $.55 then add $2-ish for the fee that the USPS charges to mail them to me. If needed, there are $$$ conversion apps you can use to make the conversion from your money to mine. 3. PM me here with that info and we'll exchange info for payment. 4. Postage needs to be paid before I order stamps for you so please plan on sending e-payment before the end of this week. I have Venmo and Zelle. If your country does not offer those services please find an e-pay service that does and then get in touch wih me. If it's something I can add easily I'll do so I hope that's not too rigid. As I said I am happy to do this, truly. |

As I said I am happy to do this, truly. I got my list! One thing that we do over here is send money via Amazon gift cards. I’m not sure, but think Zelle is a US thing and I couldn’t download the Venmo app until I used our VPN. Maybe another Pea can suggest another payment app that is good for other countries. But I wanted to throw the Amazon GC option out there. It can be done electronically in any amount. |

As I said I am happy to do this, truly. Just a reminder that the 55-cent postage is for an envelope that weighs one ounce or less. If it goes over an ounce (easy to do with a handmade card if it has multiple layers), the price goes to 70 cents (for up to two ounces). I think an ounce is around 29 grams. Because I’m a math ignoramus, sorry. |

Because I’m a math ignoramus, sorry. Very close! My app says 28.32 grams=1 ounce. I use the app called Units Plus. It’s incredibly helpful and free. I use it several times a day. |

Thanks, basket1lady. I’ll check out the app. Usually I have to ask my brother or my son (both math whizzes) for help.  |

Got the list and I am so excited to participate. Just reading through it and realising how far around the world the Peas are spread, makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. I've got the cards under control (sort of), just need to order my stamps and send them off early - most of them have a long way to go |

I didn't get the list (even just checked my spam folder). Could someone send it to me? PM me with a NON hotmail email address. Those using hotmail seem to be having issues receiving the email. Next year (if I'm the collector of names and addresses) no hotmail accounts will be allowed ETA: kokomo you also used a hotmail account when signing up, out of curiosity, did you receive the list? |

But I am "vetting" those who's names I don't recall seeing before.
