I will collect the data and begin of each month I will send out a list with the birthdayboys and girls. In order to have an overview and make sure people who´s birthday is in the first week of the month get their cards on time, I´ll send out a list from half of the month to the other half.

Everybody confused?:c43: OK...Example:
march 1st I´ll send out the list from march 15th to april 15th, april 1st I´ll send out the list from april 16th to may 15th.

For a fair exchange we ask everybody who subcribes to write to everyone on the list.

Cool welcome aboard ElfSpirit and Auntie. Now Auntie you know hubby won't mind you staying in the card aisle. LOL:g27:

[savingstar]

thanks hollybow i thought i didnt recieve the email for some reason

[Head Elf]

This is really cool... I can hardly contain my excitement! WOO HOO! sorry it kind of slipped out.

[Auntie Mistletoe]

:-) I figure I'll get on of those HallMark club point cards. For every ten cards you buy, you get one free. I'll get him a special no reason card for free and he'll think I'm being charming for thinking of him and then BAM the cards will roll in and he'll discover the truth, but then it will be too late to say "no" because I'll have birthday cards from various places around the word.



Go Auntie! :g12: Go Aunie!

[lightitup]

Auntie you are a sneaky one. I told hubby what we were doing and the only reply was I hope you have the stamps. I laughed and told him I knew where they made them that wasn't a problem.:g27:

:f06: I have a feeling it will take me as long or longer to shop for special Birthday Cards for all y'all than I spend looking for cards for family and work chums.

I might get a bunch at once and save them until closer to each member's birthday.

I put as much thought into my cards as I do shopping for presents. I'm sure we're all like that. 2797

[topaz 64]

Will have a go at home-made ones. Haven't been to Hobbycraft for a while, but have enough supplies to do birthday cards.

[jollyheather]

uejw Hollybow for sending the first list!
All have fun with the sending and reseving of the cards!
:g20:

[Auntie Mistletoe]

This is gonna be fun! :g20:

[Sparkling Star]

Got my list....thankyou. Now I'm gonna get busy and make a few
cards! :c38:

[Auntie Mistletoe]

First one ready to go! Will mail it off tomorrow and hope that the mail delivery is swift this time of year.

[ElfSpirit]

I've sent my first card out...I have a feeling it will get there late, but that's better than not at all! I am keeping my fingers crossed it will arrive.:):

[mammaduke]

Sent my first card out. I hope it gets to you one time keepsake.

[lightitup]

[lightitup]

I was hoping she got it today but maybe tomorrow. ugghh.

[Auntie Mistletoe]

04593 I'm hoping it arrived today or will be there tomorrow. I don't anticipate a long wait this time of year.
There is a post in the members monthly birthday section from Keepsake showing whose cards she's received so far - in case you missed it.

[savingstar]

Mine should be there too soon

[Head Elf]

Now I can use my new Cricut Expression..... in between making Christmas Cards, of course.

[lightitup]

I am too head elf. It is so neat. I got the regular font one but am looking for a good birthday set. I guess I will have to order it from cricut direct. I want the book binding machine now. LOL:g27:

[Twinkle]

To those of us in the Birthday club...Iowa Santa and Mrs. Claus whose birthdays are coming up next, need to add to the address their zip code which is: 52201-0182...I pm'd him to please let us know...We want to be sure their cards reach them.

[topaz 64]

Thanks Twinkle. I had to refer to the Christmas card exchange list to get their zip-code

[spikydu]

:g20:

[iowasantaclaus]

[Auntie Mistletoe]

Auntie, Got your card today, thank you so much made me laught so hard reading the card & what you wrote. My 1st birthday card & means so much to me.

[Teresa]

How do I get in the CT birthday card club ?



Teresa

[lightitup]

send your info to birthdaycardclub@gmail.com (birthdaycardclub@gmail.com)

I don't think there is a deadline for the birthday card club but if there is Hollybow will let you know.sdfgeewk

[savingstar]

yay the more the merrier

do we have to sign up every year or does it just roll on unless we decide to opt out?

[jollyheather]

Thank you Holly for the new list!
We can start sending snail mail again! \o/
Teresa glad you want to join it is great to send all those cards an the excitment for when your own birthday is.
To bad i have to wait all this time for mine!:g27:

[hollybow]

I don't think there is a deadline for the birthday card club but if there is Hollybow will let you know.sdfgeewk

nope... no deadline..you can join anytime...the more the merrier...
if you subscribe now I´ll send you the list for the next 2 months...3dfs9

[hollybow]

do we have to sign up every year or does it just roll on unless we decide to opt out?
I think the easiest way is to keep it rolling unless to decide against...sdfgeewk

[jollyheather]

Just roll on is the easiest for Holly as well so i think we should make it easy where we can...

[Auntie Mistletoe]

:g28: That makes sense since we're allowing new members to join the club, we can just keep it going and if someone wants to drop out after a year, they can.

My cards for June and July are already on their way (as of last weekend). sdfgeewk

[Teresa]

I have not received a birthday list yet. When does that go out?

[pattyjo]

I have already recieved my first birthday card from Lightitup last week, beautiful card and a lovley surprise it was too...the years are flying by, next thing I will be a granny in a few years time, and I mean a few years time, like i told my girls at least another 10years please, I said 26 is good age ..lol..but their father reckons 40 's a good age...lol

[hollybow]

I send out the list every first of the months for the next month and 2 weeks..for example..I sent out 1st may the birthdays for june till half july...

I'm heading out on the weekend to fetch cards for the October and November babies participating in the Birthday Card Club Exchange.

Already prepare my husband. Also, have to pick up three birthday cards for October for family and an anniversary card for my husband and two birthday cards for grandkids in November ... Kind of feels like an early Christmas. HaHa.

Sure, Ravenhardt. Send your details to Hollybow via Private Message username, real name and mailing address so you can join in on the fun.

It's fun sending and receiving birthday greetings from around the world.

[Auntie Mistletoe]

Remember if anyone new wants to be added to the Birthday Club send your details to Hollybow. For those who are already exchaning, the list continues until you PM Hollybow and ask to be removed from the club.

A recent email was sent out with future birthdays for January February and March so if your birthdays are in those months and you aren't signed up to join in the fun of exchaning birthday greetings, you'll want to do that soon so you don't miss out.

It was fun last year to send and receive birthday cards around the world. 04593

[spikydu]

I mailed hollybow in dec and asked to be removed

[lightitup]

Auntie Mistletoe
pattyjo
DoubleA's mom
Thank you all so much. Sparkling Star I got your card on my birthday. Thank You. They are all so festive.

[ElfSpirit]

I've been horrible about getting the birthday cards out...so many of you will be getting very late birthday greetings!
My apologies...I know it's no excuse, but work had really taken all the life out of me and I just totally forgot about all my card-writing. I'm still not back to speed yet, but I'm trying.

My own family members didn't even get cards in time...sheesh, I'm so behind, but am trying to do better!:g19:

Edit: Well, I am happy to say that I'm now caught up with the cards...I will do my best this year to stay on top of things and not let my work/studies get me so off track!

[Sparkling Star]

Thanks for letting me know it arrived in time Light. Love the card
exchanges and birthdays are always special so glad you enjoyed yours!

[Auntie Mistletoe]

Still have to mail the Feb and March ones, but I have time for Feb ones this week - I'm going to try and wait until mid-Feb. to send the March ones.

Glad your card made it to you, LIU.

Sorry to hear you had to drop out, Simon. Maybe next year, you can sign up again.

[hollybow]

I just send an update ... I had to change Mammadukes postal code..
have fun writing and getting the cards...ldfjvds546

[Auntie Mistletoe]

Hollybow can you share an update on which members are still participating in the birthday card club. I seem to be missing a few so it made me curious to see how many members dropped out or if any new ones are taking part.

http://i33.tinypic.com/ycwif.jpg Thanks.

[pattyjo]

Hey Hollybow I don't see your birthday up on that list, I thought you were on there...

[hollybow]

to be honest... I forgot some birthdays earlier this year 33292and it didn't seem very fair to me to put me on the list to receive cards for my birthday...

Hey Hollybow I don't see your birthday up on that list, I thought you were on there...

[jollyheather]

I think you should get back on the list!
Due to circumstances we sometimes forget/are not capeble ore what the reason may be, but i think you still should be on the list!
Due to financial problems i have not send card jet this year (i'll make it up to you all) but i still think this is a big family so...

[savingstar]

I have a terrible memory and have sent mine mostly late so i'm sorry to all

please stay on the list
