@justblingit1313 WOW. That must be devastating. I am so very sorry for your loss. Things WILL get better.

@Samtian @Westcoasty @makeitup305 @gonerogue @Mellmars1185 @caitbird @QueenMarceline OK! So I reviewed a lot of posts on this thread. I really like makeitup305's idea of a deadline. IF we are going to move forward, I propose a deadline to sign up of 12/9/23. The deadline to send out cards could be by 12/19, or even by 1/3/24 since it's a holiday greeting card exchange so the spirit of the season would still be with us. Also, if we start a sign up then please reply to this thread clearly and tag me. I can update the final list of sign ups on the OP. It looks like this is being kept small. That might be good for our first time doing this 🙂 If this stays relatively small, I think we could just PM BICers on the list personally and exchange information. Maybe by 12/12/23. If this gets larger, then we can chat about how to manage it best. Friendly reminder that there's no judgment about who you wish to exchange with. We're all friends here, but we all wish for privacy, security and a budget. And also, if you are not comfortable with a "Merry Christmas" greeting card then please let us know and we'll work something out. Finally, this is meant to be light and fun. So, just a card will suffice; you may put something small inside like a sample or a sticker but please keep it cheap and cheerful! Random points:-be sure to mark your country on your contact information-let's help each other know how many stamps to put on for USA to CA, and CAD to USA-I'm open to suggestions! This is my first time doing something like this. Thanks for your patience!

December 4: What fashion are you into right now? Do you prefer old stand-bys, or are there new trends this year that have caught your eye? I’ve been dressing more androgynously lately if that counts? I’ve been mixing and matching men’s and women’s clothing to wear to work. I have a couple of cheesy Christmas outfits planned for the last few days before Christmas break. December 5: Winter scents! What EDTs are you wearing? What candles are you burning? What other scents say "holiday" to you? I’m not an EDT kind of person. Sometimes I get headaches from certain scents. I do enjoy Balsam scented candles in the winter though. Anything that evokes a feeling of being outside on a crisp winter day without actually being out in the cold.

My new(ish) addition Rhonda, the cat, with my first fur baby, Patrick. My other dog, Bogart, was probably outside barking at the air when this picture was taken 😂  

@JoSometimes This is true. Do you have a Wal-Mart near you? I know ours sells it. Maybe a farmer's market? Always Etsy too lol.

May I have the spreadsheet link please? Thank you!

Hahaha @blackkitty2014! I would want to eat the whole thing, but I would know that I shouldn’t. 😝 At least not in one sitting. 🤣

It was delicious @Titian06. Not too sweet, and I could taste the spices. Yum!

Wow @skincare85 I'm sorry to hear that our border sisters don't get to enjoy the same perks. Perhaps, Sephora has something else planned for you all before the year is over?
