I had a chance to work on some more cards this weekend. I used the "Sheetload" method (Thanks, Beanie!) and made 8 Thanksgiving cards in just over an hour! Plus one similar Halloween card for my collection. Here is a photo. I will mail them later this week.

Phyllis, will you please PM me your address? I have made 50 today and would like to send them this weekend. Does the card need to be "paired" with an envelope or do I just include a stack totaling the number of cards made? Thanks!!

Thanks Lisa. They will have to be paired before I send to the soldiers but I can do that when they get here.
I'll pm you my address.

Thanks.
I can pair them, one less thing you will have to do. Do they need to be inside or just the card tucked under the flap? Oh, and they aren't all holiday type cards, I have a few baby and birthday types as well as general "hi" types...is that okay, or do they need to be holiday ones?

Lisa, the soldiers are always in need of general cards, especially Birthday, Anniversary and cards for kids, so those will work great. I tuck the inside of the card inside the envelope with the front showing, this keeps them together very well while still being able to see the card front.

Thanks for letting me know they arrived. Will you give us a heads up as to when you are getting ready to send cards again? I am getting to be more and more of a procrastinator :hide:
