Oh good grief, do you know what I did? I kept just putting it in the URL box instead of going to my mail and doing it there. This getting old shit is for the birds. FACE SLAP!!!!

A couple of suggestions/heads ups - usually someone shares a pinned post on the scrapbook side of board so folks like me who never venture over here know about the swap You might get a few more participants that way. Also, hopefully it won’t be an issue in a month or two but for now USPS has suspended all mail delivery to NZ and Australia so maybe if money is tight people should hold off on buying global stamps until there is more info. There are very few planes traveling there right now so there’s no way to transport the mail. Deliveries have been very slow even before the current lockdowns

How many are signed up? Do we send to some or all? If to all is there a cut off date? I already have a lot and I am making more, and I know 1 or 2 here are already on my list, but there may be more because the screen names are different than my address list, which is over 500 names from all the boards I have been on over the years; Memory Makers, cre8, scrapbook answers, splitcoast, fiskars, and a couple of others I can't remember, and also local groups of crafters.

We have just over 70 signed up. I do not have a close date. My current plan is to send an update if anyone signs up after this week. I don’t want to close anyone out and since we’re under 100 I don’t think it’s unmanageable to add one-offs as they come in.

I can't do 70 or 100 so I'll have to pass. Maybe next year.

don I hope you’ll reconsider. Not everyone sends to all. I think I can safely say that we don’t care, the more the merrier!

We’ve have some add ons since the review list went out on Oct 8. The final list will go out Fri, Oct 15. If we have any additions after Oct 15, I’ll forward an updated list and let participants decide for themselves if they want to include them.
I will send to everyone who signs up, no matter when they sign up.
Merry Happy Card Swap!!!

I am brand new, just joined the board but I have been crafting for many years. I was on the old board for a short time and many other boards over the years. I'm trying to figure out if this is a Christmas card swap?

I'm trying to figure out if this is a Christmas card swap? Yes, a Christmas card swap. People sign up, everyone gets a list of all the names and addresses of those who signed up and you send cards to as many as you like. See the original post for details.

In the interest of full transparency and because I am coordinating, but this is not my swap, it's our swap, we have a brand new pea that has asked in this thread about signing up. I know that there are peas that will not want to participate with an unknown member, so I am NOT going to add her to the list for everyone.
However, if she does send an email to sign up, and you are okay with including her in your list and me sending your name to her, let me know. Best I can do to make the original group feel comfortable and not shut anyone out.

I'm actually already doing a holiday card exchange on another group. But thank you for even considering that provided I just signed up. I understand the concern of someone brand new. Maybe next year! I was more looking for something I have done in the past and seen on previous board and can't seem to find lately. I use to belong to a group that would send out cards to people on request. Like is someone was sick, feeling down or maybe having a birthday you could request card be sent to that person. You could post or email the coordinator and they would send it out to everyone in the group and then if they wanted they could mail a card. I scrapbook and make cards and would love to be a part of something like again.

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.
