Here's the way I look at it. If a card does not get to me before Christmas, then I have something to look forward to after Christmas.

This is fun! This truly makes this time of year enjoyable and ulcer free!

Cheers,
Cathi

Yes, the cards can arrive at any time they feel like it. How nice to get a surprise card in January.

Well, here is what I found out about postage. Hawaii costs the same as within the 48. That surprised me.

From the US to German, Northern Ireland and Great Britian (oh, that's an aside, no one from the UK signed up, did they) it is 90 cents, as long as it is a normal sized envelope.

Mine will go out tommorow. One and all. I am interested in knowing how long they take to different parts of the world.

My dear friend Danitas card was in mailbox yesterday. I was thrilled, I only wish I was as special as her hand writtern notes make me sound.

I called the 800 number for the overseas rates this year, goofed last year and had to readdress new envelopes and resend. Bummer!! Been meeting the mailman at the box, he must think I am either very needy or very blessed...LOL

I have received Chatty's and JawJaw's cards. Thank you both for the lovely thoughts and wishes.

Mine are all going out tomorrow in the morning. I absolutely love getting all of your cards. My family brings them in dutifully and says, "Here you go, another BWS card. Aren't you special?" I get excited and say, "Why, yes I am." Thanks all of you for the love from this board.

Thanks ladies for all the encouragement. Believe it or not, it helps to know others have gone before me and have gotten through it - and that I'm not alone.

To top off your kind words, my phone rang yesterday as Mark and I were headed to the mall for Christmas cheer. It was Chatty calling to encourage me. How sweet is that. I don't like to talk on the phone when I am in the car with someone - but could NOT resist the opportunity to chat with chatty. I got off the phone and appologized to Mark - explaining why chatty called. He just shook his head, "you women are just so......supportive of each other". LOL.

Isn't that the truth!

Thank God for girlfriends!

hugs,

danita

Ladies, our Danita is a gem. I spoke with her by phone yesterday about her card business. We have met a couple times when she has been in town. I adore who she is, how she is choosing to manage her children at this difficult time, and I adore her faith.

Whew..., thanks for the second post Danita, I could not figure out what you were talking about and I thought it's finally happened; I have lost my mind.

I have received four cards so far, and ladies, you were right. It's so much fun. I am happily surprised.

Oh, and mine went out last night. I am interested in knowing how long they take to get to all the different spots.

Have a terrific day, one and all.
