Thanks!

As soon as we get into the new house, they’ll be in the mail. Which should be by the end of the week.

I’ve reached a glitch with my Christmas cards, so it’s doubtful that they will be ready in time for anyone to get them before Christmas. So I will have to bow out this time around. Sorry!

I’ve gotten two cards so far, one for each kid. Not sure who they’re from since I don’t open their mail and they aren’t going to be at the house until this weekend, but they were covered in stamps.

I bought some new cards last night, I will have my kids decorate, sign them, and we’ll get them out this weekend.

Bumping this thread to say thank you. I think **St Germain** send us lovely cards and stickers today. My eldest decided to use them to decorate her little sister. We don’t have a tree so she went for the next best thing!

I may be the guilty party. I use obsolete postage for Christmas and most other things. It saves money and looks pretty.  
Big thanks to **Bookkeeper** for doing this again!

**LavenderBlue** - Glad they got there and the stickers were a hit. I looked for the cute Lisa Frank-type stickers, but they don’t seem to dothat any more.

I finally mailed mine. This move has been much harder on me than I thought it would be, and I’m behind on everything. I’m afraid it’s just plain cards, this time. Nothing interesting.

I have a confession, the cards I’m supposed to send will go out tomorrow, and so will likely be late. It would take too long to explain what happened. But they will arrive, and there will be a little something extra in them. I’m very sorry for the delay.

I want to say thank you for receiving the ones we got already. I am unable to send because of a crisis I’m not at home. So please don’t send cards sadly we won’t get them.

Well darn, I had your kids. Maybe later you can let us know when a birthday card or something could be recieved. Sorry about your situation, I hope things go well.

I’ve gotten six so far, three for each of the girls. They’ve only opened one as they haven’t been around the last couple of weeks. I will have them open them on Christmas Eve and they will like that.

Hopefully most of mine have been received. I bought some funny ones from Target.

Same thing here. Send a PM - the stamp box is always full and waiting.

I mentioned before my cards to be sent would be late. They went out today. Cards to three families, with five kids. I sent the each kid their own card, not joint cards. Hope they like them.
