Holiday Exchange 2016 Lists have been sent!
« on: December 03, 2016, 12:06:33 AM »
Postmark Deadline: Wednesday, December 14, 2016

The exchange lists have been sent. If you believe you signed up but did not receive an email, please let me know ASAP!

This is the smallest number of sign ups we have had in a long time (I believe because of the new 1 post requirement). So there are only 6 lists.

As we did in the previous exchange, there is a list for one professional/experienced member to exchange with one beginner. Since we had such small lists, not every experienced person will have a beginner to send to.

As always, if there are any mistakes with your address, please contact me right away.

Thanks so much for participating and happy exchanging!  :)

Because of a hiccup with my printer mine are going to be a day or two late. Sorry list 6!

 :o But I'll have your envelopes addressed and ready to go. So as soon as I get the inserts (holiday cards) from my printer I'll slip them in, stamp them and ship them!

@Erica McPhee,

The mail we received says to take a photo of stamped envelopes before sending them. Is it okay if I take a photo of a reciept from the post office? I never stamp envelopes on my own, I go directly to post office, they print stamps and stamp it and they check addresses. I find it easier and safer to do it this way :)

Yes, that's fine. But I would also say take a photo of your completed envelopes. If something goes amiss, it will help determine if you had the correct address, zip code, legibility issues with calligraphy, etc. It's also proof you completed your exchange. This is not a requirement, just a suggestion. The images do not have to be posted or shown to me, etc. Hope that helps.  :)

Hi!

To List 2 and Erica, I have one problem... well, i mailed it already two days ago(coz I have to redo it) but unfortunately one mail was not accepted - the one for Susan(Virginia) - accdg to our local post master they will not accept any mail going to East Coast (US) because in the past months all the mails bound there went back and temporarily they are not accepting it unless there's an advisory (from the national post office) to them that the problem is solved already... Can I just sent it through e-mail (pics) and when I got a call from the post office that it's already okay to mail it, I'll just mail it then?....
 Thank you

I have no idea what they think the problem is on the east coast, but don't worry, just mail it whenever they let you.  ;)
