Well then - Here is what I would like to propose....
We will do both...Janet & Abbers can get together and do the Photobucket thing and help each other and that will be open to anyone if we all agree - because I think that's pretty anonymous right? Then what? You scan a card and put your name under it? Is that how that will work?
You gals work that out.
Now as far as the list:
Here's the rules (oh you knew there would be rules in this group)
You have to have been a member of the board for at LEAST one year and actively posting so we know who you are. If you're a lurker or someone who posted 150 times in 2007 and we don't remember or know you -I am sorry but we're not sharing our printed addresses with you. If I don't know you - I'll ask the owner of the site or the Mods who you are. If they don't know you - I decline your invitation to join. We've been doing this six years, it's been safe, fun and I destroy the list and all copies of it each year. Once I send it out? It's gone. The only way I'll have YOUR address is if you send me a card back. I do not keep lists or addresses. So if you loose your list? You will have to PM someone that may have a list. I have done this to protect everyone year after year, and usually shred the envelopes after receiving them. Those of you whom I do have permission to mail on occasion -different story. The rest? That's how your privacy is handled by me.
This is a sample of how I sent out our names last year because...MOST of us do NOT know each other by our real mailing names but rather by our board names - however some of us do not want to get our mail addressed to ICANTTAKEMYKIDANYMORE - but otherwise we wouldn't know you - so the format looks like this:
a.)
ICANTTAKEMYKIDANYMORE
Jean Smith
100 Anywhere St.
Smithville, OH 44889
or
b.)
ILOVEMYDAUGHTERS
Name withheld Upon Request
1313 Mockingbird Lane
Starville, MD 90310
How ever you choose - you can let me know - but when you send me a PM - PLEASE include your board name in the address and if you want your name witheld that is just fine....but pick a format...a or b
If this is your first year? WELCOME!! I will print the lists and I DO NOT EMAIL THEM TO ANYONE EVER, NEVER - nothing goes out over the internet!!! This means your lists, and my cards to you will arrive shortly after Thanksgiving if you are in the US and if you are in Canada or elsewhere? (Except in Australia where I have it on good authority it takes 9 months to get there
) My cards go out on Black Friday - or Purple Friday or Green Friday or sometimes Orange Saturday - but The weekend after Thanksgiving.
Last year? I did not get to mail the lables like I have done in the past for those of you who can't write. But....I will try to do that this year for those of you who have disabilities if it will help. Let me know ahead of time if you need assistance.
SO - if you are interested - PM me - and HAPPY HOLIDAYS GIRLS!
HO HO HO - LOVE Star....
