BIC Holiday Card Exchange 2025 - interest thread

[caitbird]

Hi BIC beauties! A couple of years ago (2023), a few of us here on BIC participated in a holiday card exchange. We decided on a deadline for sign-ups, exchanged address information with each other via PM, and sent out cards to each other. Personally, I thought it was a lot of fun to exchange holiday cards with some of the lovely folks I've met here on this forum! I wanted to post this to see if anyone (whether you participated in the past or not) would be interested in participating in a holiday card exchange this year.

Some info on the past exchange:

-it ended up being just a small exchange last time, so exchanging address information with each other via PM worked fine; however, if more people are interested in participating this time around, we may need to figure something else out. Suggestions welcome!
-the deadline dates we decided on last time were 12/9 for sign-ups and 12/12 to exchange address information, but we can always workshop those this time around, depending on what works for people
-the past exchange was just cards - some folks included a small stuffer such as stickers or a couple of foil samples, but that was optional. If people would be interested in a different type of exchange for this year, we can definitely discuss that, but I thought that a similar card exchange would be most inclusive for folks of all budgets & busyness levels.
-last time around, all of us were either from the US or Canada, and we helped each other figure out how many stamps would be required for mailing between the two countries, etc. If you live elsewhere but are interested in participating, definitely let me know, and we can figure out if we can make it work!

Would anyone be interested in doing a BIC Holiday card exchange this year? Please comment below to let me know if you are interested, or if you have any questions or suggestions! 💜🎄

@missjeanie @greeneyedgirl107 @makeitup305  I am unable to click into your profiles and send you a PM 💔 Please PM me if you are able to and then I might be able to access the message and send you my address.

@caitbird @gonerogue @greeneyedgirl107 @makeitup305 

Are we just sending addresses via PM?  Or is there a google sheet?

Just checking!

[gonerogue]

@missjeanie  Looks like we are sending PMs to each other based on re-reading the OG post. I received Cait's but that is all so I will PM everyone else now.

[makeitup305]

@missjeanie @gonerogue I've been MIA and completely forgot to send mine. I'm going to post them tomorrow. Please send me your addresses! I'm sending you mine in a message ❤️

[gonerogue]

@caitbird  Will we need to PM each other to share addresses after the cut off or? Just wanna make sure I don’t miss anything since I am not as active these days. Let me know 🙂

[missjeanie]

@caitbird @greeneyedgirl107 should we set the deadline for Dec 15th?

[caitbird]

@makeitup305  that seems reasonable to me. @greeneyedgirl107  thoughts?

[greeneyedgirl107]

@caitbird @makeitup305 sounds good!
