Description:

If you know someone who could use a little extra cheer at Christmas, this swap is for you! For this swap you will have 6 partners (as long as we have enough people join, if not, I'll take it down and let you guys know how many partners). My best friend has a very rare form of cancer and is 26 and is pretty much home bound and I want him to have oodles of Christmas cards. He's been surviving for 9 years as of December 1st!!! :) I thought I could make a swap for anyone else in the same boat! When you join, make sure you let your partner know who to send their cards to by putting their name and address in a private message once partners have been assigned. These cards can be store bought or handmade! :)

If you look down in the comments section there are lovely ladies willing to send cards out without joining the swap, so you can PM them

4.9 or higher. Newbies are welcome! No recent unexplained 1's or 3's. I will be checking profiles.

Great idea! I have a friend who is 88 and she lives at the rehab center where I volunteer. She has lived there for 10 years, no family, no friends, its very sad. I would love to have cards to take for her to open on Christmas. What a WONDERFUL idea! Thanks, I would love to brighten your friends Christmas as well! I will PM my partner with the info as I can't list it here for privacy laws.

No problem! I think it's probably a better idea if we all just PM them. :) I just thought, how would I feel on Christmas if I were in his situation. I love giving way more than receiving and thought it would be fun for them.

LoveToCraftInAZ 11/23/2014 #

I think its wonderful. I know it will mean so much to those who need some extra holiday spirit! :)

MiniQuilt 11/24/2014 #

What a great idea! Let me know when to send, or what ever I am suppose to do to get the card sent. MQ

I don't have anyone needing cards but I would love to just send out cards that I have if that is ok ?

JessRoussos 11/25/2014 #

I will probably email all my partners the address to send to.
How will we rate for this one?
I wouldn't mind agreeing not to rate. I fully intend to send, but I don't want the person receiving having to stress about telling me who sent what when.

@tlemon4 very sweet of you.

JessRoussos 11/25/2014 #

Oh, one last thing. My person would prefer non-religious cards.

crazedwombat 11/27/2014 #

I won't be joining the swap, but I'd love to send out cards to anyone who needs extra holiday cheer! Just PM me the address. :)

vontakk 11/27/2014 #

@tlemon4 and @crazedwombat you two are fabulous. We can either all agree not to rate each other. Or alternatively, if you want to be rated, we can send photos to each other of the cards once they're finished.

I would also excpet a PM from my partner letting me know when it was sent out. I would expect people who are joing a swap to help others won't flake. I am also fine emailing a photo of the card stamped and ready to send out. :) whatevr the group decides is fine with me.

LoveToCraftInAZ 11/28/2014 #

Wow...I must still be tired..lots of typos in my post...sorry! :)

Rubiadejimani 11/29/2014 #

Me too - I'm not in the USA, so can't even join the swap if I wanted: but i'm always willing to send out RAK to those who can need a little cheering up.. Just sent me the adress, and I will be mailing out something from Belgium... Everybody deserves a nice Christmas!

paperpusher 11/30/2014 #

I'm not joining but would love to send some holiday cheer via card to anyone in need. Send me a message with info, please!

MiniQuilt 11/30/2014 #

I've have mailed my card off.

MiniQuilt 11/30/2014 #

Incorrect- wrong person. Sorry

MiniQuilt 11/30/2014 #

PM me. I'd love to send a bunch of cards out.

vontakk 12/ 1/2014 #

If you want your partner to rate you, PM them a photo of the card stamped.

LoveToCraftInAZ 12/ 2/2014 #

Sounds like a plan! Thanks for hosting! Great idea! :)

MiniQuilt 12/ 2/2014 #

Mine are ready to mail out tomorrow. (6 cards in all for this swap)

JessRoussos 12/ 4/2014 #

There seem to be email issues regarding addresses.
I have not recieved two of the addresses to send to. (I have recieved Sean, Angeeta, Maurice, and Autumn, and I sent the email of addressed envelopes for those four).
I have send out my person (Karin)'s address twice and at least one person still has not recieved it.
If your person is not one of those four, please send me the address. If you have not recieved an address from me, please pm me.

JessRoussos 12/ 4/2014 #

And I have checked my spam folder.
