Final Count

We are at 14 total participants! 7 Arizonans, 2 Californians, 1 Washingtoner, 1 Arkansan, and 3 Tennesseens.

So, you will need to create and mail 13 cards. (You can make 14 if you want to keep one for yourself.) The theme for May is birthday cards. It is up to you, but you are welcome to include your name and blog on the back of your cards, kind of like your hallmark stamp. We anticipate our count staying the same throughout 2009, but if there is a change, we will let you know.

Your cards need to be postmarked with a SASE with the same postage as your total package by the 1st of May. Those of you Arizonans are more than welcome to run your items to Taina's or Katie’s house, but you’ll have to run to pick them up too when you want your cards back.

Thanks! We're excited!

Card Swap!

We are hosting our first ever Card Swap, and we are super excited!
If you would like to sign up, leave a comment.
The deadline for sign-ups will be March 15th. On the 16th we will post the amount of cards you will need to make each time. If you know someone who would like to sign up please send them our link! The more the merrier!
Here are the basic details:
You will mail your completed cards with an enclosed envelope addressed to yourself with the same postage to Taina. They need to be postmarked by the first of the month. By the 15th of the month, we will divvy them up, pack them up and send them back to you. We’ll also post them on the blog.
You will not need to send envelopes with your cards unless they are a specialty size.

We’ve decided to run this through the end of 2009 and at that point we can reevaluate what we want to do.

Here are the themes we’ve decided on.

May- Birthday Cards
July- Any occasion (You can either do a blank card or pick an occasion you prefer)
September- Thank you
November- Christmas

(Those of you local ladies are more than welcome to run your items to Taina's house, but you’ll have to run to pick them up too when you want your cards back.)
