All my cards went out yesterday. Me too, the second half of mine. I am so behind this year. I haven’t even started on family/friends cards.

Cards have begun arriving in my mailbox, so exciting.
My mom has been in the hospital so I have been 3 hours away from home for the last 3 weeks. My cards all went out today, unfortunately not all handmade or sent as early as I had envisioned but I did manage to pop them all in the mailbox this morning.

Some of you may get a card from me with my name inside on a label. Having a lot of arthritic pain in my right hand that is making it hard to write

I mailed my cards out today. The post office was crazy as you would expect but I wanted them to be inside vs in the drive up mailbox. Now to clean up my mess from making them. I have tons of leftover paper and about 20 stamp sets out lol.
Trying to figure our the best way to display them without buying a holder. I think ribbon over the China cabinet with mini clothespins (which I need to buy). We don’t want to put holes in the wall but I want to see them all and we don’t have command hooks that will work. Any creative ideas?

Any creative ideas? I don't know if its creative but I tape mine around a door way to my den. I like that it gets them up and visible without leaving holes. If you come in through my front door, you have to walk through the open door way to get anywhere in my house, so everyone sees them.

My cards are ALL done, and dropped of at the post office. If they don’t make it in time, my apologies. My international cards went previously. I’m just happy I got them all done

Thank you for your cards and festive greetings. I've scaled back on decorating, but the basket of your cards brightens my day and my family's holidays also.
Many heartfelt thanks.

kelly8875 I just put cards in the mail on my way home from work tonight. These were for friends and family. It will be a Christmas miracle if they arrive before Saturday. My pea cards went out on time. Priorities… 😏 ETA: not that you don’t have your priorities straight! I’m just laughing at myself for blowing off family but making sure peas got cards in time.

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one that delayed in mailing out my cards. I'm enjoying all the cards I received so far. Thank you for sharing in the season with me.

I only participated one year (2017) but loved all the beautiful card I received. I still display some of them in our living room because I love them so much! The rest are in a basket to the left and I swap them in and out.

With my vacation this year from Dec 1st-22nd I was so busy getting prepared to go away that I sadly realized there was no way I was going to be able to make cards this year. I resigned myself to sending store bought cards, but I got them all written, stamped and addressed a few days before I left for my vacation and that felt great!
I came home on December 22nd to a dining room table holding a huge stack of unopened Christmas cards from you wonderful Peas in the swap, and it was so much fun to sit down, open them slowly and admire your wonderful creations. After leaving the tropical climate of St. John USVI (which was amazing but where it didn't feel like Christmas to me at all) your cards helped to kindle the Christmas spirit I was missing.
Thank you so much to each and everyone of you that sent me a Christmas card this year. I love this wonderful tradition that we have here at 2peasrefugees and this is the 6th or 7th year that I've participated. Each year just gets better and better. I hope we can do it again next year.
I hope your Christmas was wonderful and Happy New Year everyone!

Just wanted to say Thank You to everyone that sent me a card! It has been so much fun to get the mail everyday! I also apologize to those that I didn't send a card to. My intentions were good, but I was unable to get it done. I think I sent out to about half the list. Anyway, thanks again! Happy Holidays!

I also want to thank everyone who sent me a card - I've got most but not all of them up on the wall in my living room! I enjoy looking at them every time I walk by!

Oh I like clipping them to a string of lights. I bought a couple extra strings this year snd bought some better clips and think I will do something similar next year.

I'm glad this thread is still pinned. I wanted to say thank you all for this event! It is one of my holiday favorites!! So much so that my husband got me a Cricut for Christmas and I look forward to getting started with making my own cards this year. Not sure how I will measure up because all these cards are amazing and I have no idea how you all make them. I have some learning to do and am excited to start. Happy New Year everyone!!
