It sounds so pretty! I can't wait to see what you've made! Mine will be a digital picture card. I'm waiting for Black Friday - Cyber Monday sales at digi shops before settling on what kit I'll use. Between this exchange and friends and family I have more than 200 cards that'll be going out. Maybe when both of my kids are old enough to be in school full time I'll get to play with paper and glue for Christmas cards.

I've gotten about 100 made and addressed so far. I'm doing about 25 of each design or so. I have a few more to do but I am on a roll. I tried to get stamps today but the PO was closed. Weird. Anyhow I'll get on it right after Thanksgiving!

I was wondering when I'd be able to start my cards and then I got hives. Ugh. So now that my hands are feeling better, I'm using my Cricut Explore to cut out my pieces. I'll be able to start putting everything together when my hands are better. So I've been off work but at least I'm keeping myself busy. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

My goal every year is to mail out on Dec 1st. I am struggling this year to find my mojo. I always send to everyone. I am sitting at 32 cards done at this point. It's going to be a mad dash to December!!!

Hi everyone, just want to thank all of the people involved in setting up the swap. I was a little hesitant to join in here, but the swap convinced me. I'm impressed by the people that are completely finished and already mailing their cards! I have about 80 cards done so far and these are the first handmade cards that I've made. I hope everyone likes them!

Mine just went it the mail today. For the first time ever I did not make them but I'm okay with that. My DS made a little extra "goodie" in a graphics (?) class that goes with the theme of the card- enough for everyone. So he did the "making" part for me this year. Thanks, kiddo.
Look forward to receiving all the little treasures in the mailbox. Happy Holidays to all!

I mailed the international cards today and picked up the stamps for the rest to go out this weekend.
I joined this swap because I needed to find my Christmas spirit which has been sorely lacking the last few years. Thanks to all who worked hard to put the swap together.
I've stamped, embossed, inked edges, become an expert at loading my tape gun, validated all my reasons for never giving up my manual dies, used paper that I've hoarded for years and found the joy of scrapbooking again! This has been so much fun.
I apologize in advance for any cards that are slightly askew or stamped crooked! Looking forward to checking the mail in the coming weeks.

I just counted, I've got 56 done! I think I'm halfway there... I think I can, I think I can.... ETA: Oops, I miscounted, I need 68 to get half way there! I'm sorry, international peas, you're going to get store bought cards so I can get them off soon so you get them before Christmas. My thoughts for a blessed holiday are the same whether the card is handmade or store bought.

All mine are going our on Monday. They are all done, labeled and stamped. I had hoped to get the International ones out earlier this week, but it didn't happen so they all go at the same time! Looking forward to watching my mail the next few weeks!

A couple of Peas might have some tipsy cards....I might have had too much eggnog at times;) Only goes to the authentic homemade vibe I was going for.

Part of mine were mailed on Saturday from "Bethlehem" including the internationals. More are ready to go this week. Please note if you get a card from me with coloring that it was made more with love than with skill.

I have 3 more cards to make and then I'm finished! I'll be putting the last 20 or so in the mail tomorrow. Confession: if you get a card that has a red star on the *saying*, I cut out red stars on my Cricut to add to the card. I just found said stars on my work table. I'm so sorry your card is unfinished. ![:blush:](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/R6yG4nI0YHiVm0wktwl4.jpg)

It's going to be a mad dash to December!!! Last year I had my dog’s nine day National dog show, this year we have been showing locally and I’ve been working a lot of OT. So I’m right there with you. Dh even asked me today if I have any cards he should be mailing I need to get moving!!

At my house, Hurricane Christmas Card has spread in size and scope- it now covers the patio table, as well as our dining room table!! (it's a good thing we were NOT hosting anyone for Thanksgiving dinner, lol!) I have no idea how many cards I have made by now- maybe around 100? I have return addresses and stamps on the (domestic) envelopes, and I'm working on the address labels. I hope to have them all in the mail by this weekend. (and then I'll need to do our family cards, but after this, those should be easy.)

I got my first 4 cards today when I went home for lunch!!! Had to take a quick picture and acknowledge these early birders!! I sent out 35 today (baby steps). I am hoping to get them all sent out this next weekend.
I feel like the season can officially start now that I have 4 cards on my mantel!!
Thanks!!! Attachments:![](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/thumbnailer/ptqRgyWlaGJgf0XISvnm.png)

I got three cards in the mail today. I love that we do this exchange, I wouldn’t get any cards otherwise. It’s so fun to see all the cities and different styles of cards. I’m such a dork!!
