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

That is so neat the way you have your cards hanging in a Christmas tree form.

We are up to 12! This will be great, I am super excited.

Privacy Thought:

Be careful about using your children's names in the cards! Remember to always get permission for names and/ or pictures to be sent out! I have already designed our Christmas card this year

A hint:
If you are creative at all with Photo Shop or Paint Shop Pro,then you can make your own card. If you order the 4 x 6 prints through Snapfish, they are 8 cents each, and they generally throw in free envelopes if you have them picked up at Walmart. Here is our families card from LAST year:



I started with a blank 4 x 6 image, or maybe a royalty free stock wallpaper- anyway, then ordered the cards via snapfish and picked them upat Wal Mart, the result is a quality custom card for very cheap. Roughly 8- 10 cents each

I'm getting excited too. Not only is this my favorite season of the year, but I love sending and receiving Christmas cards.
