Holiday Cards - First Callout

If you're a long-time friend/reader of mine, you know that I hand make a limited number of holiday cards each year and send them to friends and relatives throughout the world. The relatives are a given on my list, and they take up the bulk of the quantity. But I always make enough to send to friends too, and that list changes annually. I'd love to send one to you, but here's the requirement. 

TO GET A CARD FROM ME, YOU MUST PM ME YOUR ADDRESS. 

Simple, yes? 


Don't wait until tomorrow. Send me that PM with your address now, and
you will have one less thing on your "to do" list. 



DON'T LEAVE THIS FOR THE LAST MINUTE. Why? 

1) Not everyone gets a card because "limited number" is real. At this point I'll be sending out a total of 48 cards, keeping one, and one is my experimental template so it's my 'trash' card. That number can drop if I mess a card up. Remember - these are hand-made and mistakes happen! 

2) It is most definitely "First Come, First Serve" on this one. 

3) It's my little "Thank You For Being A Friend" gift to you, but how will I know to add you to my mailing list if you don't respond? I'm not psychic! 


Don't procrastinate. Send me your address NOW. Are you in the
process of moving? Send me information/confirmation on that
and I'll reserve a card for you. I'll address it after you have your
new address and have updated me. 



Do you live away from the USA? Are you reluctant to have me sent overseas? I budget for my cards all year. Postage overseas is included in that budget. Don't stress the expense. 

A REMINDER - YOU DON'T NEED TO SEND ME A CARD TO GET A CARD FROM ME. 

I understand that postage is a serious expense, as is making/purchasing cards. I'm NOT expecting a card in return, although I love getting one. My joy comes in the making of the cards and imagining the look on your face as you open my card to see what I've designed for you this year. 


Don't hesitate. My joy is making and sending these cards to my
friends all over the world and throughout the USA. It's a small
way that I give back to you the friendship you've given to me all year. 



So ... hop onto my bandwagon. Send me a PM or an email with your name and address, and let me get you onto the short list. 

Tonight is Project Runway, and we only have three episodes remaining, if I'm counting correctly. Tomorrow's post will be the workshop synopsis with the actual Runway show and analysis with spoilers scheduled for Saturday morning's post. I'll do two more "call-out for cards" reminders, then close down the list. Your clock is ticking! 

Have a great Thursday. My day will be FULL. Lots to do before these cards are actually ready to hit the mail!
