Holiday card exchange signup! Closed!

It's the inaugural Samanayr community holiday card exchange :D Sign up if you'd like to send and receive cards in the mail!

Since I don't think too many people will be signing up, I thought it'd be easiest if everyone just sent cards to everyone. I don't anticipate more than 10-15 participants, so be prepared to send that many cards! If you're still living with your parents, please check with them to make sure they're okay with other people getting your address.

If you'd like to sign up, please send me a PM with the subject Card exchange and your mailing address! I'll leave this open for a week and then I (or Mr Sushi) will send messages to everyone with all of the addresses.

I'll be participating, of course :D

If you're iffy about sending a particular type of card (not sure if they're mature or something like that?), probably better to err on the side of caution and only send them if you've specifically heard from the person :D

Nope nope, they're not mature, just there's some people who like that musician, some who don't. c8 And alrighty!

Ahh gotcha :D I'm not familiar with them so they'd be wasted on me, I'm afraid!

Cool! There should be enough time before Christmas to draw something for about that many cards.

Example of a postcard I'm willing to offer (sent to my friend Skry in Canada)

Except I'd probably doodle a samanayr or something on it rather than Skrillex and Deadmau5, hahaha.

Those postcards look totally awesome! I was actually listening to both of them (along with others) for the first time today at work on Pandora and really loving it. :3 The wubs. They have me. I think I'm becoming a dubstep convert. (Along with classic rock, big band & swing, musicals, etc etc ad infinitum).

Oooo cool cool! I'll go get some more then! :D

Oh and Jenna, may I offer up electroswing, then? It's really stellar. :) A good stepping point is Caravan Palace, and PM me for a really good hour long playlist of electroswing.

Hmm, I was looking up postage rates, and it looks like it might be cheaper to pop over the border to mail my non-Canadian cards... Makes sense for the American ones, but I didn't know international postage was cheaper in the states...

@Jenn- I don't, but my sister loves to. XD I kinda fail at it.

@ Jenn - my mom helps with most of the complicated machine stuff but I've been thinking about learning/practicing... I generally just hand sew anything that I need done(although I'm by no means an expert)

@Jenn - like silver, my mom does the big machine stuff when needed (though not very often). I can make little things, like pillows (XD I learned how to do that like eight years ago, it totally blew my mind when I learned it XD) and sewing one thing to another, buuut I'm hoping to knit a creature and sew its legs/ears/tail etc. on, since I've never done that before XD
