Well it is mixed with chocolate so I can mail it. Something about shipping liquids gets the USPS all up in a tizzy.

DS... if we don't hear from you at least once a day we're going to send a search party to make sure you're not buried under glitter.

I think mine is probably the non-padded envelope. The PO in my town apparently doesn't have padded envelopes and you can only get them online

This is what we did last night and why it's critical cards are mailed in alphabetical order 
I have 7 large tote bags filled in my car to start and hopefully finish the labeling by tomorrow. You have no idea how heavy those tote bags are
I may just drink my lunch

Wow that is an amazing amount of cards. Just imagine how much glitter is weighing your totes down.

Yes, DS & MH are very awesome for what they do 
Not only do they keep this site up and running, they also do things like the card exchange to let us know how much they care about us and our healing I am truly thankful for them. I don't know where I would be without this site and as weird as it sounds, without the card exchange. December is a hard month for a lot of people...I am one of those people

You know...on a serious note.
Every year, MH and I say "this is the last year" because it's getting so big and is so time consuming for us.
But once we start opening the packages and see all the funny notes attached explaining *why* they packaged it the way they did or the loving cards and gifts sent to us, we realize we could never not continue this tradition
We get as much joy and laughter out of it as you all do

I honestly considered asking Mr. T if he and the kids could spare me for a day so I could drive over and help.
Seriously, if you want me next year, just let me know. I promise not to mess up your pretty house with elf blood.

That's a whole lot of holiday cheer, glitter, and labelling right there.
DS & MH - sending mad love your way!

Hey - can you do us a favor?
Can you take a picture of the postal worker who first sees you enter the Post Office where your mailing these from...
I just want to see the look on his face...
Better yet, tell him you need stamps for all of them....
