I've come once again to attempt to sprinkle a little old time magic on these boards by inviting you all to participate in a knee slapping old fashioned Christmas card swap. I think we've got a good theme this year, too: *********CHRISTMAS ZOO********** We don't care what animal you like. Pick one and get crackin'!! You can focus on one animal, two animals, a whole zoo of animals....just make it holiday friendly and we're all happy snappy bet your pappy! How does this work you ask? Thanks for asking! It's pretty simple, really....if 10 people sign up, you will create 10 cards. If 20 people sign up, you will create 20 cards, and so on. It will be quicker for you to make them all the same design, but that's not a requirement. It's strictly your choice how you design your cards. When all of the cards are turned in, I will send a priority envelope to each participant containing one of each person's creation. Easy peasy bread and cheesy. Let's make the deadline for sign-ups Sunday, Nov 6th - I know it's cutting it close this year, but mother nature unfortunately dishes out a doosey of a flu, and this poor haunt just got over being fooled by the old gal. On Monday, Nov 7th, you should know how many cards you need to make. So start them now, and you will have a great head start! I'll get all of the envelopes and coordinate mailing everything out. The deadline to get the cards and your postage to me will be Saturday, November 26th. They will be mailed out immediately after. ***************************************** So, to recap - this is what you need to do: 1) Sign up by November 6th. 2) Send me an email at 999haunts@sbcglobal.net so I can email you my mailing address. Put "card swap" on your subject line. 3) Send me your most awesomest, fantasmical, Christmas zoo cards by November 26th. 4) Include $5.00 or a priority envelope stamp. (If you are not in the US of A, you can still participate! It will just cost you a little more for postage. I can check the rates for you in advance.) Who's ready to visit the Christmas zoo??

Not much time to plan and work on cards. I'm glad you're feeling better!
