So, are you collecting the names and addresses for people who want to send to a list, (like we did on Valentine’s day,) or are you just going to send a card to everyone who writes to you?
Everyone who wanted in sent me their name and address. There were about 30 people overall, I think, so I split the names into two lists. Some people wanted to be on both lists, and I also put myself onto both lists (organizer’s perogative), though I only sent to the people on one.
Then you sent a valentine to everyone on your list. Some of us (cranky and myself for sure, plus a few others) made them by hand – others bought boxed sets of nice cards – others bought a bag at the dollar store. BeagleDave (where’s he been, BTW?) sent a nice pic of his daughter holding a “Doper Valentines” greeting.
It was fun – for more than a week, there was Doper Mail just about every day. I’ll organize it again this year, unless someone else wants the honor.
Sure, make fun of the redhead. Its not like I can always figure everything* out on my own. I copied and pasted, maybe I might have forgoten to take out the extra space the first time.
garius, I just noticed your location, is there anything I can do to help?
Ah… So if I were sending cards to everyone on list A, you’d give me all of those addresses, right?
Sounds complex! I’m glad I’m only taking care of my own cards.
I’d never have done it if i’d known you were a redhead[sub]mmmm…redheads…[/sub]
And its awfully sweet of you to offer to help, but i fear that you are the wrong side of the Pond!
I’m a Limey
Don’t worry, things are looking up - i’ll be househunting again after christmas and will be sure to start a thread when i finally get my own gaff again!
After filling out and licking about 40 envelopes last night, with about 20 more to go, I never want to see another Giftmas card in my life!
Humbug!!
Ooohooohoooh! I looooooove Christmas Cards! Count Me IN!
Why, thankyou dantheman! My name is in honour of a fantastic lady from here, Downunder, (Wendy Rule)… please take the time, surf the 'net and give her music a listen to. But yeah, I guess I don’t REALLY rule anything, except my own little piece of life!
BTW, don’t forget to send that card!
I just sent mine Dantheman. I hope that you’re not getting so many responses that you’re starting to regret your kind offer!:smack:
PS Please ignore the “sender name” on the email I sent you. That’s my email address pseudonym that I use to foil internet spammers. My real name is the name I gave you, not the “sender name”.
I probably should list those from whom I’ve received emails. (Not their addresses, mind you, just their board names.) This way we’ll know if someone sent me an email but I haven’t received it…
Soo… in alphabetical order:

Now, I did just receive an email from someone, but I’m not sure what their screen name is! So, if your SN isn’t listed above, could you please shoot me another email with your SN? It makes it so much easier when writing something in the card (“Dear No Name Person…”).
If you sent me an email but don’t see your name above (but didn’t just send me an email, like the aforementioned poster), could you please try again? Don’t forget: The email address is not the one in my profile and not the one in the OP. The correct email is holidaycard2001 @yahoo.com.
Also, just to check - I didn’t notice any requests for a non-Christmas card; if you’d prefer one, please let me know. I have no problem buying you a different card.
(PS: This list doesn’t include those of you who have PMd me over on the UnaBoard; I’ll post something there as well.)
I just mailed* 18 cards. 18! I’ve never mailed 18 anythings before. In fact, I didn’t mail 18 anything over the entire past year.
Got stamps and cards (replenished), so I’ll be addressing more today to go out tomorrow.
*Okay, technically, they won’t be mailed until tomorrow, but to me they’re mailed, because they’re in the Blue Box o’Joy.
So, Mystery Person (see previous post)… who are ye? Could you re-email me if your SN isn’t among those listed?
Ok. All cards are mailed (save one straggler - will get that out tomorrow, I swear!).
Today I mailed two cards overseas! I went to the post office here to do it, because I wasn’t sure how much overseas postage was nowadays. (In case anyone asks, it’s 80 cents for an regular ol’ envelope from the U.S. to any country except Canada and Mexico.)
Whew!
Yeeha! I got two cards today!
Thanks, FairyChatMom!
And thanks to Aries28 and Sauron, who also surprised me with pics of them and their handsome boys!
(Am I using enough exclamation marks?)
I got your card today, dan! I like good mail! Yours was good mail! :D:D:D
Hey whaddya know, I give good mail!
Got cards from gobear and misstee yesterday - thank you both very much!
Well, whaddya know, I give good mail, too.
Hey, I got your card between Monday and Wednesday!
Here we are, less than a week before Christmas Day, and I’ve received a LOT of cards. I normally get one, maybe two.
I’m gonna name everyone from whom I’ve received a card, just in case someone sent a card and it never got here. I don’t want you to think I’m intentionally forgetting to thank you in this thread!
I really, really appreciate each of these cards. You folks is da best, as they say.

Now, that’s just the ones from here. You UnaBoarders, I’ll let you know in a post there, so if you’re reading this and are all aghast and agape that I didn’t list you - fret not, it’ll be in the other post.
Boy. I sure hope I didn’t forget anyone. And there’s still time, if anyone wants me to send a card to them.
If it’s not too late, count me in.

The above address is ficticious. I hope you knew that.
