Since people are already asking...here we go!
It’s that time of year again. The holidays are coming and there are so many people in need of holiday cheer. Why not brighten someone’s holiday by sending them a holiday card? Anyone can participate! You can choose to send holiday specific cards, or just send a note card to someone. Please, please PLEASE don't feel like you can't participate because you don't celebrate a certain holiday. This is holiday neutral.
This was very successful last year with over 800 cards mailed out. My goal is to double the number of recipients and senders. So, enough with the chit chat and on with how this works!
#1. You make a list and check it twice. There’s no limit to the number of people you can send a card to this year. Just remember…YOU are responsible for buying the cards and paying for postage.
#2. You email me or pm me your list of card recipients. My email address can be found on my profile or it's Magan97 at yahoo dot com. If you choose to send me an email, please put Secret Snowflake in the subject line. In your message, please tell me the SCREEN NAME of the person you wish to send a card to..also remember they have to be forum members.
#3. I message the people on your list to see if they are willing to participate. After 4 or 5 days, you will receive a confirmation message from me letting you know who is willing to participate and who isn’t. You will not be able to send cards until you receive that message. It will contain instructions on how to get your cards to me!
#4. You get your cards ready. You can send cards anonymously or you are welcome to sign them. You can buy individual cards, buy them in packs, make them. It’s really up to you. Make sure they are sealed in an envelope with the postage on the envelope. Now, this is important. On the back of the envelope at the top or the bottom, write the SCREENAME of the person who is receiving the card. That way I know which card goes where.
#5. You package all the cards together and send them to my address that I will provide to you in your confirmation message.
If you receive a message stating that someone wants to send you a card and you wish to participate, reply with your SNAIL MAIL address. Remember this isn’t an e-card exchange. You will be receiving actual cards in the mail. I will be the ONLY ONE who has your address. Once I receive the card from the sender, I will address it and get it in the mail. Then, you all you have to do is wait for your card(s).
ALL LISTS MUST BE SENT TO ME NO LATER THAN DECEMBER 11TH. ALL CARDS MUST BE IN MY POSSESSION BY DECEMBER 20TH.
Please, please, please, PLEASE do NOT choose to participate if you aren’t going to follow thru. There is nothing worse than expecting a card and it not arriving.
If you do not live in the U.S., take heart, you can participate. Send me your list. I will calculate the cost of postage and then you can pay pal me the cost of U.S. Postage. You must have pay pal in order to participate. Also be mindful that it takes 2-3 weeks to get your cards to me when you live outside of the U.S. Get your list to me as soon as possible.
***Postage costs are as follows****
Domestic postage is 42 cents
International postage:
Airmail stamps can be purchased at your local post office, or you can use stamps for the following amounts:
Canada- $.72
Australia-$.94
Great Britan-$.94
Denmark-$.94
Germany-$.94
New Zealand-$.94
Those are just a few..if someone is from a different country not listed, I will let you know.
Feel free to pm me with any questions!
Please make sure you can receive PMs and/or emails to participate
I have one last small request. I request a read receipt. If you read and decide not to participate, please let me know. The senders want to get their cards out as quickly as possible and when you just ignore the message, it slows the entire process down.
Let the FESTIVITIES begin
