Hi Everyone.  I am definitely not any early bird either!!  I will get my cards in the mail tomorrow - July 22.  I bought some great leanin' tree cards from the factory up in Boulder last week, but I am just finishing up the postcards today that I am including. 

The cards are from 2 assortments. One is called Indian Heritage and the other is Jody Bergsma Animal Spirits. They are all different, but whichever one you get I am sure you will enjoy sending to your contacts.

I'm home!!!

It was so exciting to see my pile of boxes!!

I recieved cards from Sandy, Delafield-   Holly, Muskegon-   Kathryn, Denver-Banshee,Goffstown-   Martha,Mackinaw-   Deb,Baltimore and   Anne Marie,Beaufort

I have an email from FrancesT. that hers are on the way.

I haven't heard from the following: (PLEASE send me an email so I know what is going on. If you decided to drop that is understandable but please let me know. Thanks.)

Thanks to you all and I can't wait to get started sorting.

(Banshee and Sandy -one of these may be you because I couldn't match your screen name and real name)

 Hi there!

 Mine are done and have been for a WHILE (as per my post that actually showed some in a photograph a while ago!) but I've spent this time trying to get different envelopes becasue I worry the others will seal themselves shut in the heat.  It looks like it won't be happening for THIS swap, though, so mine are going out Monday with regular envelopes!

I've got a company who makes A7 peel&stick envelopes trying to work with me since they only send things in bulk and I don't need bulk, but they like what I'm doing with them... But, anyway, it could be a few more weeks to figure it out.

Oops *looks embarassed*

I forgot to put my AS name on my box.

Thanks for those encouraging emails. I have now heard from Sherry J., VickiV, Kaylynn, elusivek and sunshine from CO. 

Still waiting to hear from-Katrina, Christi_95, Caryn, ChristyinPA and Hill.

Just a parting giggle from one of the cards---

Front of the card shows two dogs talking as they look at a toilet. "Drink Responsibily"

Inside it says "Happy 21st birthday" I had to laugh out loud

 I will be mailing the cards to you tomorrow.  I am including extra blank cards for everyone.  I was given 100+ greeting cards and I would be happy to share.  I have had them awhile, but they are in plastic shoeboxes and are in good shape.

 Hi Deb,

Are we still doing the original 25?  It looks like there are only 23 participants right now (getting down to the wire, so........)

I really don't care how many I get back.  I am already sending extra, so let me know and I will send more extra!!!!! lol Does that make sense?

Vicki

Yes- every one please make 25.

All the swappers have been so generous I think you will be plesantly surprised how many everyone will get in return:)

I recived Frances T.'s cards yesterday.

Hi!

I'm sorry my cards are so late, but I'll be putting them in the mail tomorrow or Thursday at the latest.  I had them all ready to go, but then I re-read my note going along. I guess I shouldn't have written them in my post surgical medicated state!  So I have them re-written and ready to go finally

I got cards from Hillary and Shelli today Thanks!

 WOO!  I made it with a couple days to spare!  YAY! 

I received Sherry's cards today. We're almost there!

If you are not sure if I got your cards or you see someone's name listed that didn't send their cards yet-simply look on page 1-second entry - all the info is there.

Thanks!

WOW! We're up to #11!  GO CARD SWAPPERS!  NICE!

Just wanted to stop by while I had the chance to say HI!

AND to say THANK YOU to so many of you who have sent me get well cards.  So nice of you to take the time to support another AS JUNKIE! NICE NICE NICE!

For those who don't know me, I;ve been an AS Junkie for a few years... I coordinate a troops package project from a local flea market where people can drop off donations, help pack boxes, etc, etc.

At the present time, I'm battling a stubborn case of *** Cancer and the AS Community has been super supportive.
It has REALLY been fantastic to meet some local folks who also happen to be AS Junkies.  They are coming out of the woodwork offering to keep my boxes getting to the PO during this troubling time!  FANTABULOUS!!!

Since I'll be going back into surgery again this week, I'll probably be offline again for a couple of weeks... UGH!

I can feel WITHDRAWL setting in already! LOL.

Know that I'll be up and about as soon as my old body lets me. 

And T H A N K S a million to all those who are so supportive to the troops and to those of us who support them too!

WOW!

Take care,

Anna - Baltimore, MD

Anna - Take care, stay strong, God Bless.

Ann
