I received 4 cards yesterday from Kenny, Tkhooper, Loz, and Shirley. And I got one today from Nuria. Thanks everybody, my card holder is really filling up and I'm almost ready to hang a second one. I had to laugh at Loz's card though, she only addressed it to Seattle. There was no state or zip code, but it still found me. Oh yeah, I finally got mine out last night so everybody should start receiving them soon.

Cheryl, when I got my stuff out for Christmas I had saved your darling card from last year. It's so cute.
Cindy, did you get a card from me. Yours is one that went out on the first day I sent them and several people I sent to that day never received theirs.
Well, i did get one card today...my own...apparently, the address is stuck on came of and i got it with no addressee, how will i know who it was to?

I guess you will have to wait until someone you sent a card too does not get one from you. That is unfortunate because you sent a beautiful card. It really stands out on my mantel.
and it just occured to me... I can jsut open the envelope to see who its to and just send it in another envelope...why didn't i think of that earlier? lol

Got card today from Cinta, i wish i had thought of a letter like that. Great Idea. It was fun to get to know you.
Don't know what the letter was, but 2 of my neices out of state, write a story of what all of the family did in 2007 or whatever.......Include photos and it gives us all a better idea how they all are.. Cute.......
I have done that other years, but this year I just didn't have anything to share. with Fred hurting his back I didn't really have any cheery family news and didn't want to depress people at this time of year. I know some will be disappointed but maybe I can make up for it next year. Cinta letter told us a little about her self which was nice to know a little about her.
I am strong when I am on your shoulders, you raised me up to be more than I can be.
I am glad my cards are starting to arrive. I am a lost child around here so I thought a holiday letter would be helpful and fun to share a little bit of Cinta.
Hey I got a card today from Brother/wife.. it was a singing Santa claus, and it was heavy. :ding: Know what ? It said on the envelope 56 cents postage due..LOL the receiver has to pay....me

ladyslipper...... You can share your good news and bad news with us......Your don't depress us. This is a place full of fun and love and we care............... I don't write much at all on mine, this time I shared Haley with my families. Last christmas it was very hard and long drive for us.......We was so worried Haley was not going to be here.......But god was with us.
Now she celebrated her first birthday last saturday.. What a little angle she is .......Loves everyone and loves to laugh......She is tryin out faces and laughs....I did get many photos of her with my new camera.

Last year was a bad year. My purse was stolen early in the year and things started going crazy every month. My holiday letter that year to my friends and family was depressing. Every paragraph said "you know my purse was stolen" I figured it was what my year was like so they had to read about my bad year. They said they did not mind. LOL!!
You should never feel bad about sharing the joy and the saddness with your friends.
Wow Barb, they must not have put enough on it to begin with! I can't believe you had to pay! I like those singing cards a lot though.
BTW, if you didn't get a card from me you will! They are going out tomorrow, second batch.
I know the postoffice gets good wages, but for my brother I will pay.. like the saying goes.......I don't mind, he is my brother... Or cast they burden upon the lord and he will sustain there..
Ok Loz, I will be watching.....i didnt put mine all out yet..........Some yesterday............ Know what, noone on my husbands side , sends cards..Just 2.. There are ma??????????????
We do both......... Makes the glue that holds us all together. :ding: How was your purse stolen?
I put my purse on the desk and went to the office next to mine picked up an envelope and came back to my office and the purse was gone. It took me 2 min. I did not lock the door. I am too trusting. It is a small office complex. Only two laywers offices and a school board Management office.
Whoever did it was fast. I suspected the secretary from across the hall but could not prove it. It was too fast. The police said it was probably a woman because men throw the purse in a trash nearby a woman keeps the purse.

My BIL & SIL always did & do that--since they live out of state. now their kids and MY kids do the same. This year my oldest DD wrote stuff about my youngest DD--so thye little one will not have to---
I do the letters for the out of state cards i send--(this is where you all say--there was not a letter in MY card envelope. ) But this year my printer was not hooked up to my computer--so I cut it down to 3 cards (in-laws) & hand wrote them---
I like toread the letters, --so I guess I should write one too, huh???

Oh my heavens...... That would be enough to crush you. Someone that knew your every move.
Hope this year was better. Good luck and god bless.

Well you called that. I think I went beyond crushed. I went into a depression for weeks. Even though I cancelled the card 15 min after they were stolen they were able to charge 12 hours at gas stations and Walmart they chaged over a thousand dollars. I was only responsible for 25. I had 500 in gift cards.
I could not travel because I did not have ID. I could not get my drivers lisense without a check and they would not open a new bank account without the DL. The Bank Manager watched me go into meltdown before his eyes. So he approved one check so I could get my DL.
The good Lord new I could not have another bad year so he gave me an amazing 2007.
I got my card and letter from cinta yesterday......what a neat way to learn more about you....thanks! I also sent one to Jayhawk even though she was not on our list....she was on mine! I received one back!

That is so sad.......Guess I didnt notice that last year, we were in a state of panic ourselves..Haley only weighed 5 pound and we feared for the worst.. After a few more months and few more pounds we started to relax. Then the doc was scared she might get the flu going around they needed a 4000 shot.......Upset and didnt know if they should......They decieded not to take it and she never once got sick......To day she is 1 and a jolly lil girl ..
God does listen, he heard your prayer cinta.......Now have a marvelous christmas and new year.

I know what you mean I bought 4 books of stamps to get through the holiday season and 5 boxes of cards with 15 to 16 cards each in them. But I love sending out cards. It does pinch the budget but as you said I saved up each month a little bit so I had enough to do this.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to you and yours.....
:ding:
I buy stamps, say a book at a times, starting in the beginning of Nov.. then I don't have to hand out lotza money in the end........It helps.
