So I had all these dang blank cards.  And now I am painstakingly gluing pics of The Jackass to each and every freaking card.


HAHAHAHAHAAA! I am doing the same thing here  ;D

I got one from Annette too! Such a cute card!!

This is so much fun!!! I'm so glad I'm participating!

I just wrote out all 44 envelopes yesterday....M ine will be in the mail soon.... ;D


Ooo...question . Are you guys going to put your BPO usernames on the cards too? I never thought of that! But it's a great idea, especially since their are so many participants. Hmmm...yes...I think i will....Now the question is where to put it...


ETA: Annette also made me realize I was supposed to get address labels for all those 44 cards! Oh well, too late now. The damage is already done! haha

I got my first yesterday too .. Thank You Jodi.  I'm just now leaving to go get my cards this afternoon so thank all of you for not making me feel too late.  No pics of the dogs .. I'm still trying to get them all to sit near each other .. I need glue or tons of duck tape.  I'm very glad my name is short too / user and real.

One question about the Secret Santa .. are we supposed to let the person / pups we're buying for know who it's from.  Can you tell I've not done that before. OUCH

You would be surprised how much fun you can have with a gluestick  ;)

lol!  I think I'm gonna have to get out the ole glue stick.   :)  The quickest that my order could have gotten here was 7 days, I want to have my cards out on Monday.  Oh well, I'd rather do it by hand anyways!   ;D
BTW I can't wait to start opening cards!  I'm going to the mailbox every morning now that I know people have already started receiving theirs.  :D

You all are welcome! I had time to kill between eating Thanksgiving dinner (at 1130 AM!) and leaving for Best Buy shopping at 11pm. Yes I got everything I wanted from Best Buy too!

I was going to put a pic of Jager, Bacardi and myself in there and I actually got them to sit together. It took four tries at the pic but we got one! Not the best but it's nice.

However, my printer decided to run out of ink and I knew if I didn't drop them in the box on the way out the door they would never go!

So here's the pic:

I will get mine out to everyone hopefully this weekend- I havent recieved any yet but I am not anxiously awaiting my cards.
This year the subject for my cards will be the 6 little elves, and one little elf is being stubborn and has not opened her eyes. It looks like they are starting open today.

Be patient- I have to wait on mother nature to get this going, and I love the glue stick idea!!!

One other suggestion for those participating in Secret Santa. As a return address, use the address for the person that you are sending the package to, that way it will not get returned to you for any reason it will still go to the person that it is meant to go to... (did that make any sense?? )
