Re: PF Annual Xmas Card Exchange! (2014)

This is the first year in a long time I didn't do this! I did think of it, but I didn't see the topic come up so I didn't think any more on it.

I'll be back in the groove this year

I just wanted to say that I've gotten everyone's cards this year, and they're all lovely. I also wanted to apologize that I haven't sent mine out yet, as I don't have any money to send them with. If you don't mind late cards though, I'll make it up to you by sending a little surprise in the mail next month sometime, when I'm back working again.

I, too, was surprised there were so few - but the bright side is it only took me a few minutes to write out 3 cards!

It's crazy. I bought 2 boxes of 'frohe weinachten' cards last week in preparation... dunno what im gonna do with them now!!

Maybe ill go back to last years list and write some extras. Especially if people didnt get them all. No cross stiches this year though (which now seems ridiculous cos id have to do all of 3.... lol)

If you love me and give me your address I'll send you one, and you don't have to send one back (wont get to oz anyway haha)

I'm so stressed with *crap* this year I didn't want to try to commit to anything I knew I probably wouldn't get to til June...

Which sucks because I love doing this.

(If you want to send me a card V, I'll send you my addy...and have the kids draw you a picture to mail)

Re: PF Annual Xmas Card Exchange! (2014)

money is tight right now for me at this point so I can not enter. maybe for an Imbolc/candlemas/groundhogs day exchance. but be grateful you got people. I remember gift/card exchanges that went bust so this is a good portion of people participating and more likely it will prosper. what I found was more successful was to plan at least two-three months away from an event as people will more likely be able to save up money for cards/gifts. hope that helps.

We do this annually and usually announce mid November. And we typically get 15-20 participants. So 4 is a very small group.

I just don't have it together for the winter holiday. I'm thinking about reviving my Pagan Penpals thread, though.

Re: PF Annual Xmas Card Exchange! (2014)

Yeah, I was kinda shocked, but what can you do? I know a lot of us are tight right now financially, and I really can't afford shipping right now, especially when we usually have about five out of country participants (for us US folks) it seems like.

Re: PF Annual Xmas Card Exchange! (2014)

Just sent out the addresses, only four participants. If anyone missed this and wants to be involved, you can message the current participants individually and see if they would like to add you to their list. Volcaniclastic, Hawkfeathers, MoonRaven, and Heka.

Re: The PF Annual Xmas Card Exchange!

Just a reminder, this Friday is the deadline for entries. If you're interested, PM me.

[Heka]

I should be able to find it. Off topic, but have you gotten your snacks yet?

I havent got my snack I forgot about that. But then I only got half my cards last year, and only half of them made it across the word.

Re: The PF Annual Xmas Card Exchange!

Pick me!!! You already have my real name/address, so do you need me to send it again?

Loving that when I'm an under-a-year-noob I can do cards, and now it goes up and I still can. Muhaha

Re: The PF Annual Xmas Card Exchange!

Sent you my address Shahaku. I know I haven't been all that active the last couple of months, but I hope I can still participate.
