Christmas Card Exchange

I have about 10 inches here you can have! 4 foot high drifts, -30 f temps.... want me to bundle it up and send it your way?

yes please!!! We've had so much rain these last two weeks, and I hate rain!!
Snow is good, snow you can wipe away, snow you can make nice stuff with like snowmen, iglo's, snowballs. Snow is beautiful. Snow is cold but if you dress right, snow doesn't bother you. If you have mountains AND snow there 's a whole lot of fun stuff you can do with that....
Rain an the other hand is cold and wet. That's it, no fun, no nice stuff, no wiping away. And everything is grey. I hate grey I hate rain. So please give me SNOW!!!

hehehehe

If Sara runs out...I've got the same stuff at my house. I just keep telling myself that shoveling burns calories!

I don't mind the rain but hate snow. WEird I know. If you wear rain boots and a rain coat it doesn't bother me at all. It doesn't snow often enough here to have all the snow gear so when it snows life stands still. I hate it. Blah!! No snow for me. PLus it is so pretty here because of the rain.

Hee hee....I don't think you've had 4ft drifts that are compacted so hard you can't move them. And no one plowing your streets for three days! But I'll try and mail some to you! hee hee

 

[danenan]

LOL I'll be waiting by my mailbox!!

PLus it is so pretty here because of the rain.

I think it's a very sad that because of the rain, you cannot enjoy the pretty landscape. You will be stuck with your boots in the mud, your umbrella blows away all the time, and there is a hole in your raincoat so freezing little mean raindrops are running down your back...

and then there's the kids trying to kill eachother because they cannot play outside with their friends. PLUS, since it is impossible to park my car in town where I work, I go by bike... you should see me going to work in my rainsuit, with my plastic boots on, trying to bike against the wind that is blowing cold rain into my face.... And cars drive by splashing all that muddy water into my handbag and boots....

I hate rain

 

[danenan]

Oh by the way, I finished my cards... they will be delivered in about 5 days.

 

[Soco]

LOL Wia! I hope you'll get some snow soon!!!

I have all the addresses too! I hope I'll do my cards this weekend and I'll be sending them next week!

 

[petey111]

[clarabear]

You know guys...I think Wia likes the rain. What do you think.

 

[danenan]

hahaha, I LOVE rain, can't you tell ???

 

[LSlycord]

I have cards, I have stamps, I have addresses! I'm ready to go! Except...do any of you US girls know what it costs to send a card to Europe?

 

[EHStudios]

I used to know until the prices went up in May.. now I haven't looked.

Check here: http://postcalc.usps.gov/ I have this on my bookmarks.

 

[kaytebug]

The po will figure it...I don't think it cost more than $2 to seen a card to Diane and Maya last year....

 

[cellomom]

awesome link, Elisa!! and it says to the Netherlands, first class is $.98...not even a buck!! woooot!!

 

[cellomom]

ohhhhh it's $.98 everywhere international on our address list from the US...for a 1oz letter (not square or unusually sized!!) yay!!

I can't wait to send these on Tuesday!! (monday I'm creating them!! )

 

[clarabear]

I have always put two stamps on my letters to Italy and they have never been returned. $0.98, huh? maybe I'll pay more attention.

 

[kaytebug]

For the record, I bought my cards....but since the company is based here - in the same town - they were "created" here (made in china of course...lol)....

Hope that's ok

Good, because after two big kid things this month for the church, and everything that has to be done this week leading up to Christmas...I'm much tooo tired to make cards...lol....

(In fact, all my paper crafting stuff is in my office at church, because the girls used my stash/supplies to make christmas cards for the shut ins during the lock in.... you should see some of the cards...I think I'm out of all of my "bling..." those cards...One was at least 5 pounds - you think I'm kidding, I'm not....

But it was a good cause...lol....
