Some of y'all are overachievers. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/Q_m8lDOvc_3Le3r1GKdf.jpg) I got my first cards in the mail today. My international ones are all addressed and ready to go (I was planning to send them on December 1.) I think I have half of the US ones addressed, I just need more stamps!

I got 3 cards today; how wonderful! I am still working on mine, have about half ready to go, and I need to get the international ones in the mail (just need stamps for those). I even bought Christmas stamps!

I'm just here living vicariously through you all - hope lots of you will post pics of the cards you receive! ![](http://i1168.photobucket.com/albums/r481/2peasrefugees/Smilies/santawithtree.gif) My home will definitely be less festive without the Peas' cards this year, I think maybe I need to start making cards now to make sure I can join in again next year LOL!

Getting my first card in the mail was so exciting! and a good reminder that I need to get a move on. The cards are done, they just need greetings and to be put into envelopes and labeled and postage-stamped... At the last minute before going away for Thanksgiving I remembered that I didn't have return address labels/stamp for my PO box, so I had to take care of that. Now I just have to do all the things and get it done.

I got 4 cards today!!! So exciting. I mailed my international cards today. The U.S. ones will go out when my stamps arrive. Hopefully Monday. I need to put up some string so I can display them.

Three more awesome cards in my box today! yippee! I'm going to have to figure out a way to display them all so I can enjoy all the different designs. Maybe we need to start talking about how people are displaying theirs...?
I got the internationals and the really-locals in the mail today, along with a few more random ones. Once I got the hang of the assembly line it went quickly so I'm hoping to get the rest done this afternoon or tomorrow. I've got a bitchy little Hallmark movie on that I've seen a million times already and I'm going to refrain from playing my Hallmark Holiday Bingo game while watching, so I should be able to get through lots. I'm not going to decorate my tree and house until I have my blurb books ordered (50% off deadline ends tomorrow) and the PeaMail out the door.
ETA: does anyone else think of George Costanza's poor (awful) fiancee when they go to lick an envelope? That was such a funny way to write a character no one liked out of a show.

Internationals are in the mail today. I have about half done for US. Now I need to work on the rest. I understand lisacharlotte - I am usually doing the mad dash in December to finish. I had to just sit down last night to get the international ones done so I could get them in the mail. It was nice to finish about 70 cards last night!

If that is mine, it makes me happy to know. and now I feel less guilty about first time non-handmade. thanks! Did it include a little Star Wars vinyl sticker? My DS made up those to help me get over the store bought guilt. lol

It has a resit decal. It had Chewbacca on the front I'll have to tell DS card made it into a patrol car. He'll get a kick out of that. He made the "Resistance" symbol decals at school but it was shortened t to 'resist' because size made "resistance" impossible. Thanks again for hosting and everyone who helped and are participating! HoHoHo!

I apologize for sending mine out so early. I had planned on waiting until December 10, but I worked on them in October while recovering from foot surgery and I was just ready to get them out of my house ![;)](http://i60.tinypic.com/345mtc2.jpg) I got your card the other day. Thanks so much! Sooo cute. Where did you get the sentiment stamp you used on the outside?

I'm Jewish, so the reference to a Miracle works for me since the whole premise of Hanukkah is that a Great Miracle happened ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/Q_m8lDOvc_3Le3r1GKdf.jpg) Can you try googling the sentiment (I don't recall the exact wording off the top of my head) and add the words "rubber stamp" and see if something comes up?

HoHoHo! My hubby said even the ones he arrest deserve some holiday joy. He said his whole squad loves it. He plans on taking in the ones from the previous years to the squad meeting next week. They all are big star wars fans. Thank you to everyone....i love this swap.

I got my first cards in the mail yesterday (five!) but haven't opened them yet- I'm resisting due to guilt, lol. Those first cards got me to get off my duff and get some of mine in the mail; the first batch is going out today! It turns out I have more work to do than I thought, too-- I only have 61 cards all the way finished, so I know what I'm doing the next couple evenings!
Now I need to figure out how / where we're going to display all of them!! Which is a good problem to have, since I haven't done ANY holiday decorating yet at all.

My international cards went out last Friday and all the rest yesterday. I had 7 cards waiting for me yesterday when I came home from an unexpected trip to the hospital. I'm so excited to have started getting the cards. It's like a little Christmas gift almost everyday in December!

By now, all US card swappers should have received cards. Internationals within a day or two. Any international Peas receive any yet?
