| I know *I* didn't get any, but I sent a few out. Did anybody get my cards? Mimi, I know you did. Anyone else? Did anybody actually MAIL any? I still think it's not too late, especially since I love to see all the theme cards you people usually send. Maybe we should send them out for Valentines day! Or maybe...you can scan them here? Hmmm? Or describe them? | |

| I am still going to send them, I swear! tomorrow, they go.
Mine are small, but vintage late 40s, early 50s. It's hard to tell. I found a whole box.
Bygone Knits and Lindydiva got special 1930s ones, because they are the Deco Divas I know...
Kitten, yours was a treat! | |

| Thanks! I got one a few years ago that was a vintage snapshot of two well dressed but slightly rumpled ladies having a smoke and a perturbed little girl next to them. Inside it reads, "Monica dear, there is no santa. Now, be a sweetheart and fix mommy another martini." I saved it! I still have it on my bookshelf. I wonder whatever happened to Jim "big Tiki" Woods? | |

| The card Mimi sent me was GORGEOUS! (Again, thank you SO much!) I had a lovely hand-painted 1920s one from my Beau, enclosed in my Christmas Box. In his I sent two from the 20s -- a Christmas one with a Jack Russell terrier on it (his boyhood dog), and another one for New Year's, also handpainted...the new year's HP ones actually came in a lot of three similar ones -- I'll have to scan one....they're so pretty. Heh. As I grow older, I've noticed there is something about the holidays which makes one desperately need to toss back a good, stiff drink...or seven....on a regular basis. | |

| Never got around to it, but I received some lovely ones. Put it this way: I never even sent a card to my mother. (Though I did get the presents out.) Christmas was Madness this year. Next year I will do better, I swear. | |

| Hopefully, you guys will still let me in? I've been a heel, not posting much, but will still like to exchange cards if that's ok?

| Just realised the date! So what do we do? Does one person collects the addresses and then exchanges them with everyone in the card exchange? I'm happy to volunteer. | |

| I think that's how it's done....at least in the past....but seems unfair to have one person do it all though.....maybe you could talk LS into helping! | |

| What I always did was gather all the info, make a spreadsheet of it, and then just email it to everyone playing.
That way, each person can send to whomever they choose! If I still have it, Miss R, I'll send it out to you and then you work it from there...it would be Fab if you have time to take it on!! | |

| Just PM me your address! Mimi if you do have the spreadsheet that would be good and hopefully I can get it all done before the last Christmas posting date I can't believe it's December tomorrow. | |

| Sorry!
I have only had bits and pieces of minutes online this past week/weekend!
Hopefully tonight I can sit down and get some things done, will locate the spreadsheet and forward to Miss R!! | |

| I know we are all busy....could we do something to make it easier? Say just draw our site names out of a hat and then we could pm each other....make it easier for you????? Just a thought.... | |

| Well if everyone wants to PM me their addresses I will do a quick exchange.
But we have to be quick! Shall I give a deadline of Thursday 11, that way everyone has the weekend to get their cards sorted.
I think our last posting date might have gone so it may be a New Years card from us! | |
