uummm....is it bad I haven't started mine yet?!
I don't even arrive in the US until late the night of Nov 30th.
So I will have to buy cards, glitter, stamps, and mailer, sign and glitter 60+ cards and address and stamp them, put them in alphabetical order, and get them to Texas from NC all in less than 10 days!!!! 
But I'm up to the challenge!!! 
Just don't think you're way behind if you haven't started yet!

I should get started. I bought some cards and put them somewhere... 
I've been doing a bunch of organizing around here and that's how I tend to lose things!
How do you guys mail all of the cards to TX? The padded envelope or the flat-rate box? or something else? I don't do a whole lot of mailing...

Are there any fellow gardeners out there that would prefer seeds to glitter? i can make that happen, been finding all kinds of cool cards, and a pack of hannukah ones to just randomly send as well as i've never received one in the hopes that i will get one this year!

With seeds you can't send them internationally. We aren't allowed to bring that stuff across the boarder. Just an FYI.
I have mine almost done.
I'll have them in the mail on Tuesday! I've been doing a few each night. The cat is covered in glitter since she has to be on my legs while I do the glitter. She's a very sparkly cat. I think Mulder and Anya even have glitter on them.
I can't wait to get some cards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was about to go out and buy cards, but I decided to look at my stash in the basement 102 christmas cards that need a good home. Unbelievable.
DD1 was even going to to help glitterize some of the plainer ones with her glitter glue, but she claimed those to send to her friends. Even put her name on the inside. So I guess they are hers to send out.

Unless you're using enormous cards, you should be able to fit in the medium flat rate box ($11) just fine, UR and bb.
Unless your $30 was including the postage to affix to them.

DD1 was very helpful, except for stealing the cards she decorated with glitter. Stuffed envelopes, handed me the cards, defended the cards from the certain destruction at the hands of DD2 and DS.
Cards are stuffed, labeled. next up glitter and stamping and will be in the mail.
