Christmas Cards

[Nebula]

Hi Everyone

So is anyone interested in doing an old fashioned snail mail Christmas card Exchange? I do it on several other forums and it always turns out great- I love getting all kinds of unique Christmas cards... Is there any interest?

I've done this on other forums as well and more than anything the kids LOVE getting cards from all over the world/country!

It would definitely be fun if we could get a bunch of members interested in exchanging cards

How is it done? Are these e-cards?

Can we do some sort of sticky for members only who want to share their snail mail addresses?? I don't mind sharing mine but it would be too difficult to pm everyone,

pm me your name and address.. I will keep them in a document and send a mass pm mid November with the list for all who submit their info.

Send me your : Name , Address, And Business Name.-

I plan on, using the cards as a teaching aide for Geography

Once I get everyone's name, I will send out a mass mailing in one private message to everyone who wanted to participate, I will do this on Nov 18 so you have until then to submit your info. Can we sticky this?

And then, you simply send a card to everyone on the list!

Hi Guys!

So far we have 9 sign ups, I am going to go over the Instructions on how to make it work

First things first: I will be sending out a master list mid November (around the 18th or so) to each person who sent me their information. That list will contain a list of all the names & addresses of people who have signed up.

Some things to remember before signing up:
1. Be sure you are able to send a card to each person on the list, while I am not sure how many overseas members we have, the going rate is $1.05 for a card overseas, and I believe 88 cents for Canada, likewise 54 Cents in the US? (I bought a massive amount of forever stamps like 10 years ago so don't know how much they are!! LOL)

2. Allow for shipping time overseas if needed, this is usually 2-3 weeks to get a card across the pond, less for Canada/Mexico, especially if you mail the slow way (i.e a stamp/First Class)

Anyhow, Here is a picture of my wall LAST YEAR from only 1 forum....... I guess I just love the nostalgia of old fashioned Christmas cards in the mail!! It has the potential to be astronomical, we have done this for YEARS - we keep the cards every year and they are really neat to look back on Not to mention the endless craft, art, & collage possibilites!!! I have gotten some super unique ones, I did this display by putting a ribbon tree on the wall.....

If anyone has any questions on anything let me know I am more than happy to help
