Do you take blank cards to send along or swap?

not sure exactly what you mean. like blank note cards or greeting cards the contacts can send on to their family? I have seen some folks do that. If you want to do that I think it would be ok.  I would suggest slipping a note on some paper into it exp\laining that you wanted them to be able to use the card themselves to send to family or friends so they would know what it was for. I don't have a problem with that.

On the same line, wasn't there discussion of just that subject for one of the upcoming swaps? Deni or somwone might be able to answer it, but I think I remember somone saying that they wanted to do the swap as a collection of blank greeting cards. Anyone else remember that? I am on some heavy meds right now, so maybe I made that up! *G*

Happy summertime dreaming folks! It was in the 70's today, and sunny here. If I could have made it to the ac unit I would have turned it on, but will have to settle for the wee little fan on dresser! No problem with inspiration in those conditions!

Heidi,

  Please sign me up! I'll e-mail you my info. Hope you feel better soon!

Thanks,

Sandy (Colourful)........that was funny.......(sending them to Deni!!!).     The mail must be slow this week.......have not received your cards yet Sandy.......and I'm guessing Amy hasn't received mine either!!!!   But it's OK........we have time for the "pony express" to get it in gear .

Welcome to all the newbies to the SWAP........it is alot of fun........esp. seeing what people write and what they create (for those that create).   Cabin........I kinda write a bit about us (the family) and maybe send some pics.   I always  thank them for their service to our country and for being in  the military;  their sacrifices they make being away from their families; keeping our freedoms secure and helping people in the country they are in (as we know many are doing).   And when I get them back (after the swap) I sit and decided which group is getting them.   One group that Ihave (a Chaplain) always gets a few.    And as Heidi said, I put my name, address and email on the card or note.   We had a great response from the Christmas swap (but that was a BIG group of swappers) and usually some of us will hear back from the other swaps.     Have fun thinking of your ideas.......and again.......welcome to the newbies!!!1

Love peace and blessings......Anne Marie    

Anne Marie I sure hope that pony gets it in gear...lol! At least I goofed early and not just a few days before the due date! Yikes. You'll also see the mess on the envie---I pressed the wrong button at the APC and it spit out the giant label and I had no pen to fix it! lol. You may wanna throw it in a new envie if it's too wacky.

 I'm getting psyched about the summer swap...I have some fun ideas, let's see if I end up with time to do them!

I just packed 3 boxes to the gills with blank cards, and included nice bags full of letters on top...that's my fave part, it's like the frosting on the cake! GO JUNKIES!!!! (No worries, my last swap cards for Vday are long gone---these were others that people send me!)

 Heidi,

thanks for the response.  Glad to know that including name, address, and email has never been a problem.  And I wouldn't have thought about keeping the salutation generic not knowing if it's for a soldier or sailor, man or woman.  This sounds like a lot of fun!

Hi Colorful

I haven't recieved an email from you. I have been told that one persons got sent back, so maybe try again?

thanks!!

Heidi

The fall swap (formerly known as the Labor Day Cards) will be for blank cards and generic cards. These will be cards that we can send to our contacts that can be used for birthdays, miss you, thinking of you, thank you-whatever

 I will be hosting it and cards will be due the first week of Aug.

 Heidi I tried again, see if you got something this time :)

I got it! and am updating the list now. Is there a way to move that post with the names so it is not buried? or should i leave it where it is?

Heidi, I sent you an email.  Let me know if you need help with moving the list or editing it into the proper post.  Deni

 Psst

 What is teh due date again?

 No, I don't have my head in the sand I have it in piles of wonderful cards for the Spring Swap.and there's more to come<S>

 Cheers

 Amy
