Awesome. The emails are starting to come in. I am going to let them pile up until I get home from work tonight then I’ll start putting together the list that I will email out on Thursday.
Mission accomplished. Christmas cards en route from the frozen wastes of Canada to 8 Doper children.
Thanks, ShelliBean.
Thanks!! You are welcome!
Did you write notes in them, or not? (I’m not really a Christmas card person, so don’t know the procedure.) I’ll pick some up tomorrow, and probably mail them the same day.
Just a note: somehow my apartment number was left off the list I received. It’s 10C. Just don’t want anyone to get their card returned!
Yay! Cards finally on the way.
All I’ve got to say…
To…day…
O.
Kay.
Mine went out yesterday. Can’t wait until ours get here!
Hey.
(Had to jump on thejali bandwagon.)
The cards are bought, the notes are written, the envelopes are addressed–and the post office is closed all week for Eid al Adha. :mad: I’ll mail them Sunday when the post office re-opens.
Our cards went out yesterday! We have gotten three REALLY cool cards so far. jali’s card even had a present in it!!! Thank you so much!
Bookkeeper, was that your kitty on the front of the card? Too cute!
And thanks to freekalette as well! My daughter is really enjoying this.
Eek! Sorry everyone, but by a strange quirk (spouse was supposed to mail them and then forgot where he left them) that I just found out today, they won’t actually get into the mail tomorrow.
Hopefully there’s a youngster or two who’ll be glad to have something right before the big day instead of earlier. Yeah, that’s the ticket!
Add Caveat lector to the thank you list! Your card was beautiful.
Unfortunately, I can never seem to catch any of ours in the really cute poses. They seem to have an instinct for when I go and get a camera and immediately jump up to see what I’m doing.
I’m glad your daughter is enjoying this. I hope we can make it an annual DopeRitual™ for any interested Dopers and DopeKids :D.
Ditto.
I didn’t get the cards in the mail until the 14th, so they may not arrive before X-mas. Sorry. :o My excuse is the post office was closed for several days for a Muslim holiday. I’ll do better next year!
Well I loved getting the cards from you guys. OK< I know they were for my kids but I had fun too. Mine are in the mail but I don’t know if they are there yet. I would like to make this a DopeRitual. Maybe next year I can do it but start the thread in the last week of November and set up something more like twickster did for the Secret Santa so that it’s more organized.
Of course, everyone got my cards without pics because I *still *haven’t printed those out.
Thank you Susie Derkins, Bookkeeper,** freekalette** and Caveat Lector. I’ve been smiling all week as these lovely cards arrived.
Bookkeeper your baby is sweet (in the photo).
I misunderstood the instructions (how many times in life have I said this?!) and added my name to the list of receivers when I agreed to send to the kids. I can’t believe how happy receiving the cards has made me, so I’m glad for my goofy mistake.
I sent cards to all my friends in RL’s little ones too- I decided on 12 and under and the response has been so good that this will be my new tradition. Sending cards to kids got me into the holiday spirit.
I’m about to leave my ‘good’ computer for the slow crappy (I’ll-only-be-able-to-get-on-once-at-midnight) one at my parents, so I just wondered if any of my cards showed up or if I need to lynch the Other Half for not having carried out his husbandly postal duty. Anyone?
Thanks everybody! My son has enjoyed getting the cards. Best of all, he’s been getting the mail for me.
Got cards from Queen of Town, ShelliBean, and faithfool!! Thank you so much!
My daughter is staying with her grandma until Christmas Eve, so she hasn’t seen these yet. Yes, I peeked at them so I could thank everyone (and just because I’m having too much fun with them. She won’t mind, I promise). faithfool, it was all I could do not to open the teeny present. How CUTE! She’s going to have so much fun with that.
Thanks again, guys!
faithfool - I did get your card. I loved the “mom’s break” card especially!
Thanks so much to everyone that sent them. I think I enjoyed receiving them more than my kids!
Oh yay! I’m glad everyone likes them (but better yet, got them) and it was so much fun to do, I will indeed sign up again to do this next year.
Merry Xmas all!
