I got snowed in, but have duly sent off my Christmas cards... I hope everyone's happy with them...I feel a little awkward that I didn't make mine, but I wanted to be sure my overseas friends got theirs in time  :hug:   No matter what, this is GREAT!!!  :bday:

Hey Debbie,
Don't feel akward about purchacing you cards for the swap, I did as well for the same reason, and I thought they were absolutely adorable

I just decided to add a bit of glitter (which went everywhere) to the outside and colour to the insides just so I could feel a little more creative!

I can't wait to recieve mine.  This is sooooo much fun!

Hugs for everyone,

AndreaM

I too am guilty of buying my cards.... ....BUT, they are hand finished! Not by me though!

I was really good and made my own cards last year but that was before I'd discovered bears....need I say more!! 

I posted mine a few days ago!

Hey; there's nothing that says these cards must be hand made, so please let go of guilt.  I sent out purchased cards last year and this year hope to hand make mine but time is pressing in on me, while it's simultaneously running out, so I keep reminding myself that it really is the thought that counts here.  Enjoy the exchange... and don't give in to guilt or pressure about what or how you sent.  It's not a contest!

HI Shelli
Thanks for organising this great card swap.  :clap: Your rules are very clear. I have sent off my cards.  I have handmade them.  They are my first attempt at scapebooking cards. :dance:
My cards are in the post and I have sent some extras to the nice people I have meet on Teddy Talk

Merry Christmas

Hugs
Tracey

Thank you Shelli for organizing the swap!!  Organizing all of that info wasn't a quick project. It's much appreciated!! 

I JUST finished my cards and will be mailing them out tomorrow.  I haven't made handmade cards for about 2 years and was determined to do it this year.  I'm glad I did, I missed it actually.

Thank you again!!
