I sent out my cards today (plus a little surprise with each one. 🙂 )
I sent a card to each kid who’s participating.
I just hope that they’ll all come on time for Christmas.

Kinda miscalculated how many cards I need for other people and only had two left for this (:(), but I guess that’s still better than none. They should still be there in time for Christmas, too.

Glad mine made it. I was a little worried with all the automated machines that they could get eaten by the USPS which was why I tucked one in the other. Glad the kids enjoyed.
**Bookkeeper** - save my name for next year as well. I hate to admit it but I’m one of those who sometimes misses this thread as well. Feel free to shoot me a PM next year.

Is it too late to send cards? My little guy is too young to care about receiving cards, but I’d be happy to send some out from the exciting, far-off land of Illinois.

Got them today. Thank you! Love the pic of your daughter and the doggies in front of the fire. Thank you for the certificates. Mickey Ds is a guilty treat around here.

PM sent with names and addresses. It’s probably not too late even for a card to China.
I hope to keep this going every year, so maybe in a year or two you can ask to receive as well.

Thanks to all who sent cards to the kids. They fight to check the mail when they get home from school to see if there is another card for them. 🙂

I don’t think any of mine have been received yet, but I keep checking this thread. 🙂

I have received 4-5 different ones. Since they are for the girls and they don’t live with me I haven’t opened them yet. We’ll open them this weekend. I even have a place to put them all.
I will also be sending mine out this weekend, they are all addressed and stamped, but I want the girls to sign them.

Just put the last two in the mail. Thanks for doing this, Bookeeper - it was fun for me trying to figure out which card designs (I always buy a bunch of different ones during post-Christmas clearance season) the kids would like best.

So, I heard that at least 2 of my cards I sent out have been received. Nice 🙂
