^^ No worries. Hope everything turns out right; I know you're doing the best you can. Message me if you'd like to chat/vent. Sending my info for snail-mail cards now...

I'd better get my butt in gear making these!

^^ I haven't been checking in as often as I used to, so I only recently noticed the deadlines.

^^ Actually I take that back: I read the following as the cutoff dates for sending *cards*, but that's actually for PMing addresses to Mrs. D., right?

Okay then ghouls and boils, if you still want to send your crazy old Aunty Helen your address details I'll make sure a list gets sorted out. Cut off point for snail mail end of September, email greetings third week in October. Hope that suits everyone Just pm me addresses and any questions and needless to say all personal details will be kept totally confidential and I'll pm the participants personally

First of all gang, massive apologies for not getting things sorted, as promised, by now. I swear that I will do it over this weekend.

I've been really poorly with a flu like cold and even had to have an ambulance out in the wee small hours because I had a ginormous panic attack. Thankfully I have a wonderful bloke and a wonderful (very young) doctor and I'm on the mend....and I have my new car which is another relief.

Again I do apologise as I realise that people who wanted to take part must have been getting pretty frustrated with me.

Watch our for the pms.....and Red, you're a superstar honey xx

^^No problem, babe. There's still plenty of time. It's more important that you take care of yourself first. I hope you feel better soon!

Thank you ladies for your understanding!

Anyway it's done. PM's sent out. Any problems, any mistakes on my part (which would not be remotely surprising) please let me know as soon as possible.

Thanks for taking part!!

Mrs. D.... You forgot my address on there. Unless you just took out the address of the person you were sending the info to?

Dont panic petal! I included your address on the others. Didnt see the point in sending the person I was pm'ing their own address. Sorry I should have pointed that out!

Thanks Mrs. D. -- and please don't worry! Take good care of you!

I got some cool stickers to add to my cards yesterday!

^^I didn't get an address for you. Could you please PM that to me so I can send one out to you?

^I don't have SPF's address either.

I was working on the pms I had received, I'm not a mind reader (well not in that way). I dont have the time to chase people if they havent been in touch

Started making cards on Saturday -- and nearly finished them on Saturday too! I've been having a great time making these, burning candles and listening to Celtic music. They're nearly done now; just have to stick some things down and finish making one more.

I got a card in the mail yesterday. Yay!

Funny story: Last week I got all excited when I got an orange envelope in the mail (no return address), thinking it was the first of the Halloween cards. Imagine my disappointment when I realized that it was just a card from the APA thanking me for being a student member and gently nudging me to pay my dues for next year. Why would they put that in a cheery orange envelope in October? Fuckers.

^^I got your card yesterday. It was awesome.

This is the first year I have ever made my cards. So I don't really like them that much. But hopefully you all will appreciate them. I still have to send them out. I'm hoping I'll get it done either tomorrow or the end of this week.

I got two cards already too! And DCGG, your cards are cute! If they look the same from when we were making ours, that is

Have to do a few more things to mine before sending them out, which will hopefully be tomorrow.

Will send mine out this week. Looking forward to seeing your handmade cards, DCGG and QueenB!

I should mention that there have been significant and very stupid cuts in mail service down here lately (heard all about it from the carriers themselves), so cards might take a couple days longer to come to me. Or to get to you. But my cards will be sent out later today.

^^I wanted to do that, but I took a nap, and I woke up after the post office was closed for today.

I've thanked the two ladies concerned before but Diva and Nsane, thank you again for your wonderful cards. I hadnt put myself on the list this year because I've been a bit loopy so to get your cards etc was a total joy

Whoops and dont forget if you want email greetings please let me know.

I finally sent them out. I'm proud of myself. You should all get it by thursday or sooner.
