2021 Stashmas Card Exchange List posted

[rcperryls]

This is the list of people who are participating in this year's Card Exchange. Cards must be mailed by December 1. You send a card to the person in the list directly beneath you. The bottom person sends to the one on the top. Names were listed by turning over pieces of paper, each with a name on it and then picking them up and laying down the list. Please get the address of the person you are sending a card to by November1. And please post when you send your card and when you receive it. Hopefully mail won't be a problem (though it is getting slower over here for sure so please be patient if your card takes longer than expected to arrive). If I left anyone off the list, let me know. I apologize if I did.

i just requested Mabel’s address and am going through my stash and charts today. I’m gong to California Saturday and might (emphasis on MIGHT) find time late at night to stitch. Three straight days at Disneyland will keep me busy.

[richardandtracy]

Just given & asked. Had to delete some messages before sending. Was surprised when nothing went, I had filled up my message box & the forum software couldn't decide which was my least important message to delete first.

Regards,

Richard.

[Serinde]

I've asked and given (aaaaand they're off and running...)

[Mabel Figworthy]

Asked and given!

[Roland]

Given and asked and picked out a pattern.

[fccs]

Asked, received, and given. Now to decide what to stitch.

[Nicola Main]

Asked and given too! I'm about a quarter of the way through mine! I'm on holiday between the 15th and 21st November so that should give me plenty of time to finish (will aim to post on 22nd November Carole!)

[rcperryls]

Asked and given also! Begin working on it this week-end, hopefully.

[Squirrel]

Serinde - are we all going to open out mail on a certain day or just when it arrives?

[Serinde]

Given the vagaries of the post, I think that opening and sharing them when they arrive will work the best.

[Nicola Main]

This may be a daft question but I've just thought are we writing to our recipient in our Christmas card or leaving them blank inside?

[rcperryls]

Not a daft question. I was planning on writing something on the inside of the card. We’re others not?

Carole

[richardandtracy]

I definitely was. Not too serious, I admit. Quite what, I have no idea yet.

Regards

Richard.

[Serinde]

Writing in the card is definitely in order. After all, it's a holiday card from you to your exchange person.

[Nicola Main]

OK perfect!

[Mabel Figworthy]

Sent!

[Serinde]

Sent? SENT?? Wow!

[Mabel Figworthy]

Well, it has to go all the way to Oz, and from orders I sent out over the summer I know they can take a while... (One customer wrote to me not having received her parcel 7 weeks after it was sent - I thanked her for her great patience and offered her a refund or a re-send, with no guarantee when that would turn up! She was about to pay for extra tracking when, after 9 weeks, it actually turned up.)

I hope letters to Santa are sent early this year. He shouldn't have the same issues with delivering his packages but if any of the elves have been taken ill during the pandemic, things might be a bit slow moving. . I'm hoping to get my card in the mail no later than November 15. I hope that the card you sent to Oz doesn't take 9 weeks. I am very curious to see when Squirrel gets it!
