Although the thermometer is reading 87o and I have no idea what happened to the other 9 months that have supposedly past to now,
it is technically time to start thinking about mid winter card exchange.
I wanted to know if there is interest in doing this again, I have no problem handling the coordination again this year.
I figure we can start taking names early, give people a chance to get organized.
let me know what you guys think.
*edited to add appropriate information*
Here is the info-copy and pasted from last year- It was good the first time, no need to mess with it ;)
This is in conjunction to and apart from the MidWinter Exchange.
I am sure most people enjoy sending and receiving cards so here is your chance to show your fellow rennie some love this winter season.
Rules-no signing people up for weird newsletters, if you want to participate you have to provide the information. The card can be store bought, hand made or not even in traditional card shape-its really up to you. I don't think anyone here would mind a nice posted note via messenger pigeon ;D
If you would like to receive or send cards please provide the following in a pm to me. DO NOT post it here for everyone in the interverse to see.
1- Your Name-you can include your screen name just make sure you include enough of your real name that your mail carrier knows who to give it to.
2- a physical mailing address- doesn't have to be your home address but obviously a real address you actually receive mail at.
3- acknowledging that you give me permission to share your information with fellow board members who would like to send you a card. -Just write
Deadline for joining the list is November 23rd
I will send the list out to everyone involved by the 25th of November- everyone will receive the complete list. It is up to you how many cards you send out.
that way you should have plenty of time to send the cards out by the first week of December.
Does that sound good??
If anyone has a suggestion or idea please share.
Yay!
Count me IN!
And the gift exchange, too!! I'll make a post to start that one going in about 2 weeks.
Thanks, Auryn, for heading up the card exchange again. :-*
I'm in for both! ;D ;D ;D
Sounds fun!
I'm in again. It was fun last year. 'Twas a pleasure receiving all of the cards that I did last year.
Could someone tell me more about it or how it works /\.
it sounds fun

Hi Guys
well I am finally back into the normal crazyness, no more boat show crazyness.
So I am ready to start up the database for this year.
I am just gonna copy and past the post from last year up in the first post, that way everyone is on the same page.
You can start sending my- via pm your information.
If I can make it to the Texas Renaissance Festival on the Saturday after Thanksgiving (24-NOV-12), I was going to see if some of the venders were selling unique Greeting Cards. If possible, could you post a "count" of the submissions you've received by the 23rd or 24th, even if you don't send the list until the 25th?
Take Care,
David Baldock
Count me in!
;D
dbaldock- great idea.
And you reminded me I need to restock my card offerings in my etsy store- like I had plenty of free time- thanks ;)
I can't wait.

You're Welcome!
Can you post your etsy store URL?
Count me in!!
Well, so far I only received information from 4 people- 5 if I include myself.
One of the people on the Forum that I exchanged cards with last year may not have been officially participating in this exchange. I just sent a message, asking if they were participating this year.
Pick me! Pick me! I wanna play! hahaha

I need you to PM me your information ;)
Allright all

Did my name accidentally get left off the list, or have you not sent it out yet?

Thanks for the link!
All cards that were on the list, plus a couple of additional ones, were mailed yesterday.
NOTE: Auryn, you might check to see if one of the Moderator could "Un-Pin" the 2011 thread, and "Pin" this thread, so it will be there when it's time to begin again next year.
Take Care,
David Baldock
Edit: Added suggestion about pinning the current thread.
I wanted to thank dbaldock for the wonderful steampunk card, Ginette, Evie McCann & Irish.
I sent my cards out today. I just don't know how I got so behind this year.
Thank you everyone for the cards! They are wonderful!! :D
Thank you, good ladies and good sir for the lovely cards.
Thanks everyone for all of the great cards. I can't wait for next year to do it all over again!
Thanks so much for the cards, everyone. Not enough people do this anymore. It gives me something to look forward to every day in December.
