Hehe - sometimes one sentence can conjur up really funny images.

Right everyone, may as well keep this simple; we all need to send a card to the next person on the list down from us.....check whose name is under yours and post away!

Any questions, feel free to shout!

Even I can force myself to make ONE!!!!

Same here LOu, I know I said I was disappointed last year that people didn't send cards, but this year has been too much and lack of funds means I will not be able to afford all the postage, plus making them- well theres no chance of that this year,lol.

I hae even been really bad with birthday cards this year.

........and in that, you are definitely not alone . But do you know what? This is such a lovely supportive place to be, that nobody minds. That's why I came back .

And I get yours

Pity I missed this!

Lynda

Oh Steph you are such a sweetie! How could I possibly mind making it now?

glad im on the list ..thanks dawn

Super, very easy to follow. Thanks hun again for organising. I think we all a bit strapped this year and this makes it perfect. I too have been lacks (sp?) again with sending all manner of cards this year. Got so much to do and as Jo said, cost of postage is too high at the moment for them all.

It's been a tough year for everyone, and personally, I can't wait for this year
to be over and start fresh in 2010. Healthwise, I've decided I'm not even
going to have a cold next year

Did ya get out your Christmas Fairy wand Tina

I has my card already made, gonna wait before sending it though!

.....and my very special prize is that I will be the one sending to Tina, so it better be good!

Seriously though, thanks so much Tina for adding my name. Now have to scrabble round in what little I can get to from my craft room and make something that approaches some sort of standard! Thank heavens I don't have to send to Lou - glitter is one of the things I can lay my hands on (just before we got our offer, I decanted my white glitter into a lidded box so I could sprinkle it easier. Needless to say, I didn't dare leave it in the boxes for the removal men to take, so brought it with me in the car to keep it upright).

Now thats what I call dedication! I love all cards, so I'll be happy with whatever you manage to send!

Lynda, you need to change your 'location' on your profile!

So the one I've made with TINA written on it is no good now then?

Oh no.

We want evidence - I think you are pulling our plonker boots

ROFL, do you need me to swap the list around Lou?

No, don't worry, Tina. I mean, it's not as if I've got anything better to do, is it????
I don't mind at all if Lynda disrupts my life.

Awww, I am so sad, I cannot believe that I have missed this.

Crawls away in corner and cries.

Tina, if there is anyone who has not actually made their card for the next person on the list, could I not slip in between? Feeling so sad that I missed the sign up!!!

Is there any one of you on the list who could send to me and I could send to the person you would have been sending to?

I've not made my card yet so you could send to my swapee if thats ok

Oh Sue,thanks so much, that would be lovely. I had just better wait until Tina gives this the all clear before we go ahe3ad.
