Always fun to receive all those cards! (And fun to send them!)

I really hope the postal strike is over soon here.

I did sign up but worry i won't be able to get the cards there 😕

I'm looking forward to bringing some joy to those that participate. We all deserve something to look forward to and this is the perfect way to encourage, and help those in different stages of this process.

The glitter I may still have in my carpet from 6 years ago, so be advised to open in a place you don't want to look like you had a Unicorn, glitter fest for the foreseeable future.

I lucked out and found 3 rolls of 100 Forever stamps in my drawer, so I'm good to go. I got them years ago when postage was under .50 each. Now I have a use for them.

DragnHeart- my daughter and parents live in Canada. You'll get them eventually, but it might take a long time. Christmas in February might be what happens, but they will post them at some point.

I don't even know how many years I've done this, but I have an ornament for each of them.

Once again, I have to ask, begrudgingly, to please DO NOT SEND GLITTER! My complex would NOT appreciate it!

Thanks.

Been a long time since I’ve been here and came tonight and see that it’s the last night to sign up! Looking forward to participating this year!

Oh yay for this. Haven't been around SI much, but have been doing this exchange every year since I joined. I swear it is one of the few things that helped me that first Christmas way back when.

Cannot wait to start putting together cards for everyone!

Still2: NOTED, and will do. Get it. There are other ways to be extra festive.

Bearly: You're not off the hook.
