Title: Christmas Card X-change


J_mommy - October 25, 2004 05:34 PM (GMT)
I was just wondering if anyone was interested in doing a Christmas card exchange?
If there is enough interest then we could all put in our snail mail addies and send cards to everyone who is on the list. Every person who submits an addy will receive cards from everyone else on the list who has submitted their addy.
Anyone interested?

I am interested :ok:

caren34 - October 25, 2004 06:34 PM (GMT)
Yea i am

J_mommy - October 25, 2004 07:30 PM (GMT)
:clap: :thanx: :group:
As soon as we get to about 10 we'll start posting our snail mail addies. I think we should set a cut off date for posting an addie, that way we'll all have enough time to send out all the cards in time for X-mas!

Steph - October 26, 2004 06:32 AM (GMT)
Cool, im in!! :ok:

cooldiva - October 26, 2004 06:34 AM (GMT)

J_mommy - October 26, 2004 03:56 PM (GMT)

cooldiva - October 26, 2004 04:36 PM (GMT)

J_mommy - October 26, 2004 05:34 PM (GMT)
sharon, caren, steph, val.....c'mon ladies, at least 6 more to start the addy list!

sharon - October 26, 2004 05:41 PM (GMT)
I am sure you would be able to do it with less than 10

J_mommy - October 26, 2004 05:57 PM (GMT)
probably could Sharon, but don't you think it'll be more fun if we have alot of people to send cards to and receive from?

sharon - October 26, 2004 06:03 PM (GMT)
Yeah it would be nice but at least there are a few of us interested and its better than none at all :)

Hi All,

Not to be a party pooper but please do not post your addresses on the board. It is highly dangerous and the spammers will have a field day with them. Please PM your info. You should never post any personal info on the internet unless you are absolutely sure it is a safe and secure site. Although we do everything in our power to make sure our site is safe, please remember that this is a public board and we can't be sure that everyone is who they say they are.

On that note, please be careful about who or where you give your personal info to.

I know it sounds like I'm being a bahhhh humbug, but I care about you guys :pals:

Thanks!

sharon - October 26, 2004 06:45 PM (GMT)
Thanks Sally, I understand what you are saying. And i know you are thinking of us all :pals:

J_mommy - October 26, 2004 08:04 PM (GMT)
Good point Sally!
Any suggestions on how to do this safely?
Do you all trust me enough to PM the addies to me? Then I'll make a list to PM to the others?

cooldiva - October 27, 2004 06:10 AM (GMT)
ithink we should pm our email addies and then they can email there address what do u think cos thats wat we r doing on my msn group emailing our addresses to peeps that want to send xmas cards out

J_mommy - October 28, 2004 04:54 PM (GMT)
sounds good to me!

so how will we do this? each person send their email individually to each other on the list or to one person? then that person to make the list to email to everyone else? ???

I think we should pm you are addresses and you then email everyone who wants to do it with the other persons addresses.

What do you think?

J_mommy - October 28, 2004 07:23 PM (GMT)
Sounds Good...should we set a cut off date for when the addies can be sent in? How about the end of November? That'll leave 3 weeks to get them to the recipients in time...or should we go a bit earlier?
confused
I dunno...someone decide!

sharon - October 28, 2004 08:27 PM (GMT)
The best way to do it is set a date for you recieving the addresses and then give them a date for you sending them new addresses. Send out another date for the cards to be sent out for .Does that sound ok

J_mommy - October 28, 2004 09:36 PM (GMT)
sounds kewl!

1. Send all your snail mail addies to me by Nov 25/04 (email)
write it like this:

Envelope - First Name, Last Name
###, Street
etc....

Greeting Card: To Him & Her
& ________ ______ etc.... (children, pets, etc...)
Any special message that you specifically want on your card...

2. I will send a list of all addies to all the emails I get by Nov 30/04

3. Please have all cards in the mail by December 6/04

* You'll have plenty of time now to get enough cards together *

Sound ok to everyone?
Start sending those emails!

sharon - October 28, 2004 10:07 PM (GMT)
so do you want a card to her and partner and one to the kids or do you want one fore all the family with a card from our area?

J_mommy - November 1, 2004 04:44 PM (GMT)
I think a card for the whole family would be best
