Welcome to the 2021 2Peas Refugees Holiday Card Swap v.UNLIMITED
Mail is still suspended for Australia, New Zealand, and Portugal. I will keep watching and update if they open up for mailing. We may be sending Christmas cards in the new year!

The list has been sent! I sent in three formats: Excel, Word, pdf. This way if anyone prefers to format their own mailing labels, change fonts, etc, they have options. The pdf is the standard Avery 5160 mailing label, 30 per sheet. We have a final count of 75.
EMAIL HAS BEEN SENT (OCT 8) TO EVERYONE WHO SIGNED UP. Please check your email/junk/spam. Have any corrections back to me by Friday, Oct 15 and I will send the out the final version.
ETA: I have changed the event title to "swap" so that the capped event can use exchange and we don't get confused as to which event we're talking about.
What is it?
A much loved annual tradition of sending seasonal (whatever season you happen to celebrate) tidings of great joy to fellow peas. Also an excuse to buy new release holiday paper and embellishments.
Are there two card exchanges for peas?
Yes, because the more the merrier. There is a smaller exchange that is capped at 60 participants. They will have their own thread and email to organize their exchange. Enjoy both!
Who can participate?
EVERYONE!
What about international peas?
Yes, please!!! I personally buy way too many global stamps hoping to mail to our peas in far-off lands. I am well aware that postage in the USA is very cheap. I'm putting in a call for our international peas to sign up, even if they cannot send many (or any) cards to the USA. It's the giving, not the receiving
What are the rules?
<<crickets>> i.e. none
How do I sign up?
Send your name and mailing address to: 2peasholiday@gmail.com. There is no requirement to use your IRL name, but you should definitely use your pea name. ETA: If you do NOT want your IRL name to be on the spreadsheet be sure to not include it in your email or be clear in your email not to include.
Then what?
I will send an email to everyone the first week of October to verify names/addresses and catch any stragglers that want to sign up. Once we have our list, I will send a spreadsheet and a pdf formatted to print on mailing labels.
Is that it?
We are peas, I'm sure there will be questions I didn't address. We'll figure it out as we go along. Have fun. I cannot wait to get started on more cards. I still have three collection packs from last year that I didn't even put a dent in. If we don't get this pinned, I will bump the thread periodically to make sure everyone gets a chance to sign up.
