Christmas Card exchange?

[mary in wonderland]

I know, I know it's not even Halloween yet, why is silly Mary thinking about Christmas already? Well, because I think this will be a ton of fun, and want time to be able to organize it properly. (I'll acknowledge this idea came from another forum. ) It's simple, you'll send a card to everyone on the list and recieve a card from everyone on the list. The cards can be any way you like them, home made, store bought, pictures, postcards, etc.

The list has been sent out to everyone, if by some chance you didn't get it please let me know and I'll see to it that you do!

Also please check your info on the list and if you see a problem with it, please let me know and I'll fix it and get it re-sent. .

Your name and address.

And your fur kids names if you'd like them included to.

I'll post a complete list sometime at the end of November so that everyone has time to prepare, and I'll post a short list as members grow.

Wonderful Idea! Count me in as well.

Thank you! I'm really looking forward to it, as silly as it sounds. I think it will be a great way for everyone to connect. Especially since we're all such good friends on DP to begin with.

ETA - I got your info Brenda and I've added it to my list. I got your info too Kian. It's interesting I never knew your real name:)

count me in, but I dont' agree with posting everyones address on the forum, that's bad news, if you keep things private and send them in an email then i'll do it, but if it's addresses on the forum I won't do it.. Sorry..

[mary in wonderland]

I've decided I'm just going to mail the list out to the participants. I thought about it and like you I'm not comfortable having my address posted on the open forum. I just wanted to get some others feedback.

[lucky&babesmom]

Mary, Isn't it nice to know we trust you. I really think it will be a nice way to connect,but i did worry about giving people my address then I though oh heck I've got dogs they'd trip anyone that tried something then lick them till the couldn't breath,so no worries right?

[mary in wonderland]

It does feel nice. I've been here so long and so have most of the other regular members that I consider them true friends even if we haven't actually met. And I thought this would be a nice way to express that friendship.

Haha, the comment about your dogs tripping anyone who tried to rob you made me laugh. Mina would just lick them to death and Upendi would sit and watch them do it.

Brenda no need to worry, I have been on this forum for over a year and actually have some of the addresses we exchanged before. All the regulars are a okay!! Some I have met and will meet another in a week! Yes, Mary is A Okay as well to give addresses to. I have known her on here just as long.

You know it's funny Kian, I was just thinking the other day about how long I've been coming to DP. Out of all of the ones that I visit, it's by far my favorite. I actually like the fact that it's small and close nit. It's like we have our own little DP family.

[lucky&babesmom]

I was joking about most of that the though went thur my head but where I live everyon knows everyone .Come to town and say you know that lady with the fuzzy mix breed and the black&tan coonhound and the local police will bring you right to my door.You can't fart without it being broadcasted, not much going on here.All joking aside it's nice to talk to everyone here, there are some people who think I treat my dogs to well you know the dumbies who think a dog is just a dog.Also this is a nice way of seeing and hearing about place I may never see.I enjoy the learning , the caring ,even the debats. Thank you all for excepting me into your family. I hope.

[mary in wonderland]

That sounds like my town Brenda! I can relate to being criticized for treating your dogs too well, I get that here to. Because like you many people where I live believe a dog is just a dog and nothing more. Sadly they see them as expendable. Of course you're accepted here!

[kian]

We are like family! It is a good site and we do all get along really well. I live in a very small town as well, so I can relate to your comment Brenda. LOL......

We aren't or try to be clickish, everyone is welcome (who is legit!) We have had few of those trolls....ugh....
We love having you here.

Here I am known as the lady with the dog in the park, hardly ever does anyone take their dog there to play. Makes little sense to me.

Thank you

That's one of my favorite things about DP, it's so open to new members. I've been on my other two forums for over 6 months and I still don't feel like I've broken into the group.

And everyone here is just so nice. All in all I think we're a pretty caring and open bunch.
