You exchange christmas/silly season cards(e-cards are coolio too) with a group of people on a list of willing folk..Send many or not so many. YOu could even send cookies..just not to us overseas *sniff*:(
Easy peasy hey :)(List will be sent out in mid to late november)

I don't know about Australia, but I know I've sent cookies to the UK.

I'm in too. I actually enjoyed doing this last year. It was fun to see something different in the mail when it came.
Thank you CC for heading this up for all of us.

This is fun (and it's always nice to get something besides bills in the mail during the holidays :D ).

I phoned the AQIS & confirmed (as i thought) the answer is NO to anything homemadehttp://www.daff.gov.au/aqis/mail/cant-mail
Don't even try as it'll just be confiscated.

Well count me in. To Crazycanuck, never fear, my baked goods look "professionally made and pkg'd" so I don't think they should have a porblem. I guess I sort of gave away my items.
Comes pkg'd in food grade cello bag, sealed, labeled... I guess I better put something up on my web site. ;)

Ok, since you probably have a gazillion cards to write & want to get them out before your particular country's postal deadlines (postal strikes too...)..then now is ok to send me your details.
There are two ways to do this card exchange as I mentioned above-e-cards or snail mail
1-If you just want to do an e-card, then obviously your e-mail address & real name..
2-Snail mail option-
Name & address
email address too-so i can send the list out to all involved. If you're unsure of this, those who participated last year can confirm i don't send spam afterwards.
Sorry to anyone that has sent me details over the past few silly season card exchanges...Our old computer crashed & were unable to save a lot of our old
docs etc...:( If it's still cool, can you send me your details again & yep to the same bigpond email address :o
If you can get your details to me by say....November 2nd, that would be great(gives me time to finish my uni paper :o) & i'll have the list out that week. So many things going on Nov!!!:eek:

Sorry if this is in the wrong place, but. . .
Well, this Winter Holiday season has not turned out well for me and my family. Between vile weather keeping me from my appointed rounds, deaths of two close family members, a trip over interesting roads to be with the family, and some work issues, I got NO shopping, shipping or mailing done this year. So, if you are on the Card List, I'm extremely sorry. I still love all of you dearly, and you may get Really Really Late cards, but not right now. It just ain't happenin' this year - not on time, at any rate.

Give yourself a break, dearie. I'm sure whoever was waiting for cards from you will understand.

I've given up on keeping up with Holiday cards. Then it was New Years, last year pushed it out to Valentines day .... :p and so on.
I had my cards all designed and ready to print. Then last Saturday, my printer died:mad: Just as I was trying to print the cards, calendar I'd designed for my family, and labels for my soaps and breads. ARG! And then with all the baking that needed to be done, I never got around to even emailing the card. So I will post it here, for all my TE sisters. Hope your holiday was enjoyable. I know I'm having a hard time adjusting to having free time again:rolleyes:

When this came up, I thought I might be moving, so I didn't sign up. Well, I'm still waiting to see if I got the job, and my mailbox was really empty this year. :(
I missed all the card fun. So I'm in for next year!:D
Happy New Year everyone!
