    Well, for some of us, better late than never I guess. You know who you be, porny queen. ;)

    I just finished PMing the list to everyone who participated. Thank you all so much--I THINK we doubled the list from last year. :lol: Everyone should have gotten one because I PMed right from the master list and marked off after I sent each one.

    All addresses should be correct. If there are any mistakes, I apologize in advance. I cut and pasted most of your addresses, so there should be minimal, if any error.

    Have fun and I can't wait to start getting and sending cards!

    Thanks for the PM about the addresses! :)

    ETA: How much do you think an average size envelope with card weighs?

    I have no clue...I just take my cards to the post office and let them deal with the international/Canadian cards.

    Sending within the US will just be one stamp, that much I know from last year.

    Stamps! I got cards on friday, but I don't have stamps yet! That might have to wait until pay day...as I recall them costing almost as much as the cards did. And by the looks of it I need more international stamps this year. You have no idea how wonderful it was to see my PM icon blinking at me when I logged in.

    I've said it again, and I'll say it before: A. I cannot believe the HUGE international presence on this board. There are twice as many people from other countries than there are from the states, which was not the case last year. B. How am I the only one from New York STILL?! :lol:

    For those of you around me (I think there was a couple) Shopper's Drug Mart is having a sale on stamps. It was on yesterday, and I believe it is on all week, so if you're speedy you may be able to save some money shipping your cards out.

    Unless you're putting anything extra in, a standard card/envelope should be less than 50grams.
    I'll probably weigh some of mine just to make sure!

    Stupid question. Addresses ending in 2 letters and 5 numbers are all going to be USA addys, right? And once you have the zip code you don't need to put the actual state?

    I'm going to get my stamps today and probably write the cards at the weekend. Last posting date is the 7th of December for 'rest of the world', so I should have them done on time. heh, this is fun!

    Wow, that's quite a long list! *breaks out piggy bank* I have no idea how much the stamps will cost either. :lol: I can start shopping for cards now that I know exactly how many I need to get. :p

    lookaboomerang, I just dropped you a PM about a teeny error in my address. :)
