Description:

Okay, so now Christmas is over and you’re left with a pile of extra cards. I always end up buying a new pack or two every year, and also end up with doubles. Apart from writing in them and sending them to nice swappers (there’s another swap going for that), I thought we could send our partners 3 blank cards for them to use for Christmas 2007.

This is an international swap. You will have 3 partners and send each partner 3 unused (not written in) Christmas cards and their matching envelopes. So that’s 9 blank cards you have to find.

Everyone is welcome. This is for shop bought cards, but you’re welcome to make cards if you like. But remember to send nice, new, clean cards that you’d be willing to write in and send to friends or family for Christmas this year.

This is just what I have been waiting for! I love to buy new cards each year. I get sick of the left-overs and don't want to send out the same card two years in a row!

Thanks drewzel!

Just when will we know who are swap persons are and their addresses. I am a newby.

You will find out your swap partners when the swap closes, Jan 29th.

After you log in and come to this page, in the yellow box at the top of the page, a new option will appear to see your partners address.

I piled up a few bought cards but they already contain a message in it (not done by me but i bought them like this).

is it ok?

anouk 01/10/2007 #

oh yes. should they all 3 be different?

drewzel 01/12/2007 #

Anouk, if you mean a message printed in like "merry christmas, happy new year", that's fine. We don't want used ones that say "To Mary, love John" already :) It would be nice if they were different, but that's up to you. Just use what you have.

anouk 01/12/2007 #

drewzel: thanks for the reply.

I was a little bit concerned because I have only 2 different sets of cards. But now all is cleared up, I will send 3 cards for each partner. unfortunately 2 out of 3 will be the same... >_<

This is terrific idea! I LOVE this! I'm a newbie but you can count me in. I have already gone and found all my leftover cards. Thanks!!

user5779 01/30/2007 #

I sent mine out this afternoon at lunch time! A set to Courtney, Sara and Anouk! I hope you like the cards!! :)

sara0811 01/31/2007 #

I sent mine out this morning to Courtney in PA, Nhat in Canada and Nina in Ireland. Hope they arrive safely and you enjoy them. All were "New Englandy" in flavor so I'm glad I got some far away folks to send to.

nc001 02/ 1/2007 #

Carter-chan, heartsnyou and AmyMarie the cards should be winging their way from Ireland, sent this lunchtime. Hope they get there soon. Nina..

user5628 02/ 9/2007 #

Can someone please tell me how to rate the people I receive from, I can;t find where to do it, FAQ's say to click on the link at the bottom of this page but I can't see a link.

Courtney 02/ 9/2007 #

About a week after the date items must be sent by, a link to rate your swap partners will show up in the "As a member of this swap you can" section. When you click on it a small window will open and allow you to rate your swap partners.

cerwinrhiannon 02/11/2007 #

I'm sorry I forgot to mark these as mailed. They should arrive early next week.

Tammegail I have not received anything from you.

sara0811 02/17/2007 #

Tammegail, I also have not received anything from you.

user5628 02/17/2007 #

I have received all my cards now, from Lynn, heartsnyou & tellu. Thank you they are all beautiful. I have just checked my swap book and it seems I have mixed up my sending dates, I had marked this swap as posting by the 15th, and posted my cards out on the 12th, my apologies to my partners, hopefully you will receive these in the next few days.

user5779 02/17/2007 #

Tammegail, I haven't received yours either.

Nathalie 02/17/2007 #

Drewzel although your the host of this swap, I haven't received any cards from you and your status is not send. What's up?

tammegail 02/18/2007 #

Courtney, Sara and Leeloo35....I Mailed those at my local post office here on the 7th of month. I take all my parcels and envelopes inside and have them put postage on them at the counter. I can't imagine what could have happened. They are closed Monday. I will contact them Tuesday (live in a very small town, only 1500 folks, so small office where they know you by name) and have them see if they can find out what happened. In the meantime I will also get ready more to resend if this is okay with all of you. Very, very sorry. Tamme

user5779 02/22/2007 #

Hi Tammegail! Did you find out what happened?

tammegail 02/22/2007 #

Leeloo35, I asked at the post office about the first mailing (I get receipts for everything I mail) and they are checking into it. I remailed though and you should receive them soon. Thanks for your patience and understanding. Tamme

user5779 02/23/2007 #

Tammegail-thanks! That's so sweet of you to resend! Thank you!! :)

anouk 02/23/2007 #

Sara, Courtney and Leeloo35 i\'ve got your cards. thank all of you

mine got safely to swap partners. yeeeahhhh !!!

tammegail 02/24/2007 #

Leeloo35 It was only right to resend. Happy to do it. I usually don't have problems with my mail. But every now and then...I guess it's the volume of incoming and outgoing some of it slips through the cracks. I think, too, it has to do with who is working at the time. Thank you again for your patience and kindness. Have a wonderful day! Tamme

user5779 02/24/2007 #

You have a great day, too, Tammegail! Actually I received the cards today and they are great! I especially love the gingerbread ones! They made me smile!

tammegail 02/25/2007 #

Courtney and Sara, I hope you receive your remail as quickly as Leeloo35. Please let me know when you get them. Again, very sorry for the mixup. Tamme

sara0811 02/26/2007 #

Tammegail I received the cards today. Thank you.

tammegail 02/26/2007 #

Sorry so late Sara, as I said, I take them in bundles to the post office to the window and even get a receipt. Have no idea as to the whereabouts of the first bunch. Thank you for your patience. Tamme
