Christmas card hint

14 years ago

I think I shared this hint last year too.

When my Christmas cards start arriving I carefully cut out the FROM address label and scotch tape it to the back of the card and throw the envelope away. That way I always know who and where it is from This helps especially with KTers who might just sign their sign on name

Hope this helps someone

Thanks for posting this again. I have been doing this when there is a return label, if not I write on the back of the card. Waiting for today's mail to be delivered. :)

Annie and Jayeanne (LOL) glad you liked the britches. Annie I bought a pair of these in a craft store just so I could make them. Jayeanne you won two games so thought you might like the lip balms and bookmark. For the ladies who are wondering what the tag on the britches says: I am not so poor Nor do I have riches But I thought you'd like This pair of britches Happy Days to you And best of wishes This gift will help You do your dishes Just untie the bows And pull out the stitches You'll have two dish clothes But...You've lost your britches

OBF Christmas Card Swap - 2021

I hope everyone had a nice Christmas day. We visited four of our five kids and their families the past two weeks. We were to have dinner with our youngest and his wife yesterday but darn if they didn’t come down with covid. They’ve been vacinnated but not boostered. She had it mild but it knocked our son down. Hubby and I had our dinner then took some over to them to drop off on the porch. We were able to see them through the window at least and what a relief to see my son was actually up. Weather is crazy here. I’m winter sowing and hoping it gets cold enough at some point. Yesterday, we broke a record high and tomorrow will almost be 70! I have my idea for January’s swap and will be posting on the 1st so keep an eye out! Time to party. Margo

I have sent a request for it, Mary. I hope it is seen soon. Thank you for catching it! I haven't been able to get on line for long the last few days. We have been doing lots of running around to get needed supplies for plumbing and electrical. I'm sorry I haven't gotten here sooner.

HERE's a handy-dandy Christmas card hint.....

Make sure you put stamps on them all before mailing!!!

Dh took a stack of cards to be mailed and didn't realize that the top 3 had no stamps! I had them on the top so I could buy the stamps, then I was going to mail them all.

As of yet, and they were mailed last week, I don't have them back to me, so I can stamp and send!!!

Sooooo a couple might be late!.....but I hope not
