How to do a holiday card exchange in 2008 among my 43things friends
It made me
Pleasantly Pleased!
 "Participating in the holiday card exchange in 2008 among my 43things friends was super fun & exciting!"
How I did it: First, I added it as a goal, and then I asked for guidance in how to go about completing the goal! People (Flirt) were very helpful and offered me guidance in the cost of the stamps and updating the addresses etc. :)
Lessons & tips: Keep your addresses in one place and check for updates...then...find some cute cards and fill them out! If there are many people on the list...it may be good to pace yourself... but.... of course... I did not! :)
Resources: 43 Things Friends, a goal, and Flirt to organize everything! Thank YOU! :) Determination, organization skills to keep the different postage rate cards together....and knowledge of the postage rates! :) VERY FUN!

More "How I Did It" stories
As a Phoenix Rising is declaring 2009 The Year of Heidi
It made me
How I did it: I got up the courage to ask if I could participate. I got out the Christmas cards I inherited in my Mom's stuff. I sent them to very nearly everyone on the list near and afar. If someone had a goal I could help with, I did that too. Sent a purple rubber band for a rubber band ball. Sent a $2 to Japan. I wished everyone would have lots of laughter, lots of love, good health and good wealth in the coming year. Read how I did it…

It made me
HAPPY
How I did it: Kept a list of where I stopped on the list as to not miss anyone or do a double. I love doing it but, I go to school part time(it feels like full time), work full time and have a life besides. It's the best thing though opening up the mailbox and seeing cards addressed to me. I can't say anything in one sentence. Read how I did it…
It made me
feel holidazzled
How I did it: I bought supplies to make the cards, envelopes, and stamps. Then I sat down and made lots and lots of cards! After writing a nice message in each, I licked envelopes and made my way to the post office. Read how I did it…

A surprise in the mail

a couple of days ago- a card from Triniprincess! Thank you :)
The funny thing is, during all of the snow we got a couple of weeks ago, I was thinking about sending somemore cards out. Didn’t get around to it yet, though.
Jessica Steelers FTW!

I never got around to doing this.
Maybe I’ll take Charlie’s idea and send them randomly. That’s be funny, seeing a Christmas card in July lol.
Thanks to everyone who sent one to me!

Flirt (loved the definitions of the word cheer!) and Ru (such a beautiful hand-made card)!
Cheers!

Thank you very much, and thanks for the good wishes!

I have just mailed my cards. I know, I know, it’s a bit late, no longer 2008, but it’s still early in the year and a thought the few of you who are the lucky (fairly randomly chosen) recipients would not mind a New Year’s wish.
Todd Schoonover Should really be sleeping now.
Thanks Again

I kept meaning to come on and thank the rest of the people that I received cards from this year, but they just keep coming with one from TG this past Saturday and one from Ru yesterday. So catching up since my last list of thank yous, thanks to: Bluepark, Sabryn, Rockwilder, TG, AngelSnowBunny2007, IWABMY, Squirrella, Jarod Kintz, Ru, Flirt, JacquesCousteau, kerfuffled, Heaveemetal, Hazelnutnut, and Flutterbyflyby3.
Update: And in today’s mail came one from Oye Vey. Thanks so much, and that sucked that the post office returned it because it was “non-mailable due to size”. Silly Post Awful.
Update 2: Also in today’s mail was a card from Potos_Miki. Thanks to you too.
Charlie is optimistic about the future.

I suck.
I sent no cards this year. To ANYONE. At all. I am a bad, bad, BAD friend, and even worse correspondent.
As I said, I suck.
So I will send cards to people at random times. Because who doesn’t like getting a card?
JudithKD Hello? Where did I go?
