Good morning! My apologies for the delay in sending out the labels. Everyone should have them now. If you don't, please PM me here and we'll try and get to the bottom of it!
Thanks, and happy creating!
ETA: Many thanks to Jen for formatting the labels....I know we all appreciate it!

Thanks for the labels!!! I have printed them out so I can start mailing next week as I get cards done. So yes, those from the USA may get a Christmas card from me BEFORE your Thanksgiving but I just don't trust the mail within my borders let alone outside my borders.  |

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. Last call, I'll place an order for stamps tomorrow or Monday! |

I'm hoping to start sending out next week too. Maybe not all, but some at least. I'm also putting up mt tree (fake) tomorrow. Ha! |

Forgive me if this has been mentioned because I did go through all the posts, but I'm sleep-deprived. I know the list of labels came out, but I didn't see what type of label paper they are formatted to. Would someone take pity on me.

Mine didn’t print out the right size (I’m on stupid iPad, never started using the new desktop computer that the boys use) but I’m going to see if I can merge it into the Avery app. Otherwise I may cut up the printout and tape the addresses onto my envelopes. HA HA

I had avery 5662 labels (14 to a sheet). I pasted Christine's labels into a Word document formatted for the 5662 labels. If you have this size label I would be happy to share it with you. Peamail me your email and I can send it.

I do appreciate the offer.  |

I have at least 3 people on my FB feed that showed trees up already. One blamed it on her daughter. Picture of the tree and the daughter in a Christmas outfit. I think the daughter is a little excited. |

HA HA im a Mac user, so I’ve always used the Avery website. I find it pretty easy to use. I’m hoping that I’ll be able to merge the document in there. It doesn’t show up quite right on my iPad, but I’m hoping for better results when I switch to the Mac. If not, cut and paste is my friend! At least we don’t need to type out the labels. |

It doesn’t look right on my iPad when I open it in Pages. But I think I can easily tweak it to make it work. All of the typing has been done and I don’t have to look back and forth constantly with street numbers, name spelling, or anything. I think it will be easy enough to make it work with the minimum amount of effort. I find that this happens a lot when changing between Word and Pages, or between different printers. I spent a lot of years in publishing with the typing pool being horrible about proper formatting, so I’m used to making it work from one computer to another. (I was known as Murphy Brown, firing more than one temp before noon!) I don’t think it will be too hard to fix. |

BTW, I meant to mention, thanks for whoever recommended ordering postage online. I got mine last week, super fast. Maybe about a week from the time ordered to the time I received them. That was great, then I didn't have to go into the post office.
I didn't get to make any cards this weekend, but I hope to get at least 10 made so I can get the International ones sent off this week. Gives them plenty of time to get where they're going.
The ones for the US, I'll hope to have done by Thanksgiving at the latest, but right after if nothing else.

I ordered a few weeks ago and it took a while, I'm guessing 2-3 weeks. I just placed a second order this morning so hopefully they'll arrive a little sooner. I'm going to hold off mailing any cards until December, so I have plenty of time even if they're slow again this time around. |
