Thwarth, I got your card earlier this week and enjoyed both the card and the sentiment inside. Yay! I'm so glad. You are a lucky one becuase I could only get her to make about 60 cards before she lost interest! Merry Christmas. I was lucky too!! I love my card

The last batch of my cards were mailed off today. Now I just have to figure out if I’ll have time to get to the post office to mail to the crafters overseas. I really enjoyed doing this exchange! Will we do another one for another holiday?

Wait, do the cards have to be designer looking? Becuase I have a daughter with Down Syndrome and she's been helping me make cards for "our new friends" but some of them do look like she's been helping me. I would be devastated to read snarky comments about how my cards look when we've been having such a blast making them. I recieved one of her cards! Its so cute! Thank you!!!

I got my "Becky:" card today. My 16 year old daughter was admiring the sparkly stickers, then when she read the inside she burst into tears! She was so touched by this card and your message. Thank you for allowing us to be a tiny part of Becky's world.

Thank you for allowing us to be a tiny part of Becky's world. That was kind of you to say. Thank you. She's a joy. I'm glad the cards are brining smiles and apparently tears to people. I'm hoping today is the day I can get into my mailbox. It's been frozen shut since Thursday. I'm worried about breaking my key off in the box or I'd be more aggressive about trying to open it. I can't wait.

I don't think my DH understood why I would participate in a card exchange. Well, he's on board now! He is enjoying looking at the cards every day, too!

I didn't participate last year but a lot of y'all sent me cards anyway and I enjoyed them so much. I found them yesterday and enjoyed them again. I decided to recycle them and let someone else enjoy them and put them on gifts for the ladies in my bible study class. (I made gift tags for them) I'm giving them today.

I don't think my DH understood why I would participate in a card exchange. Well, he's on board now! He is enjoying looking at the cards every day, too! I have about a dozen unopened 2Peas Christmas cards sitting in a tin on my craft desk. Why, you may ask? Because I have not sent a single card yet and feel like I don't deserve to open my cards until I start sending some out! It's driving my DH crazy. He keeps asking when I'm going to open them. Ha. I didn't participate last year and I think he missed getting the cards as much as I did. My life went a little sideways and I'm behind on the birthday card group I'm in and on the large Christmas card exchange on the NSBR. I finally went and bought some cards from the store so I can get some out in the mail at the end of the week. I will "reward" my efforts by opening all of the 2Peas cards I've received. I feel very motived to get my cards done now!

I have gotten quite a few so far too. We have hung them by string on the wall. I think I have received 20 so far. My DH has already asked if I'm going to do this next year too.. When I get home he asks how many cards did we get..

Look at my wall of happiness! I hung all the cards I have gotten so far on the wall above my computer in my scraproom. Thanks to everyone for the cards and for those of you who sent special messages to Becky and some of you even sent some more stickers for her to work with. All of you have just touched our hearts with your kindness. This has been the best part of my holiday season so far.
