Wanted- More Christmas card exchangers!

[Lori, Daphne, Lucy & Pippa]

Last year I had such a good time being in the Christmas card exchange group! This year we have not had as  many people sign up. I hope that more of you will consider joining.

Those cards are fun to look at all year and they really help when talking to someone online. You get to put faces to those names you are so familiar with (Mostly Doodle faces). It really helps to make us more familiar with your precious Doodle and think of them all like "family"! Plus they always look so cute in their holiday attire!

It really makes you feel special when you go to the mailbox and find it full of Christmas cards! That's a rare occurrence these days. I know that even DH started to look forward to receiving them last year even though he started out thinking I was crazy. He said "Why would I want all that extra mail?" But when those cute little faces started rolling in, he was hooked. Every day he would ask "How many did you get today?"

I enjoyed mine so much that I kept them up all year. Even though I'm sure my visitors and friends think I am "that crazy dog lady"! I am really looking forward to it again this year and hope to convince more of you to join! You can be as creative or as plain as you would like. There are no special requirements. You just have to be willing to send out at least 50 cards. You can find good deals on custom cards on place like, Snapfish, Shutterfly and Tinyprints…etc.

Here is a picture of mine from last year. This year I'm hoping to cover both doors completely!

It was lots of fun to get so many fun cards.

PROCEED CAREFULLY! I broke my toe last Saturday trying to get this year's photo!

[F, Calla & Luca]

Oh no, so sorry to hear this Janie. I hope you heal quickly.

[Lori, Daphne, Lucy & Pippa]

Janie, that must be one adorable picture! I hope you heal quickly!

[Janie, Jackson and Jilly]

Thank you. I didn't know if I should get it checked or not, but really what are they going to do for a toe so I just taped it. But then by Wednesday it was feeling tingly and numb, so I got worried and went. The Dr. said the numb feeling was from the swelling - and it did swell more from the day before - and they xrayed and it is broken. Bummer!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Janie, I am sorry about your toe. I hope you heal and feel better soon :)

[Sheila & Finnley]

 

Ouch, ouch, ouch !! Being on the up swing from a broken big toe, thanks to Finnley a couple of weeks ago, I can be honest and say, I Feel Your Pain !!! The toe is getting better, but with shoes, and lets not even mention a sock, it still is painful. So good luck, and hand in there !

[Janie, Jackson and Jilly]

Sheila, I'm feeling for you! The big toe has got to be worse, mine's the one next to the pinky toe. I'm glad you're on the upswing by now! Hang in there!!!

The doodle holiday card exchange is one of the best parts of the holiday season for us!!! You don't have to be a pro at taking pictures. Look through the pictures that you've taken throughout the year, and find one that you'd like to share with other doodle enthusiasts. Some doodle owners take pictures of their dogs in holiday attire or with a holiday background. The possibilities are endless!!!! Getting your picture printed is easy, and many places are having or will be having sales on photo cards. Right now, Shutterfly has 40% off everything on their website until a certain date. With the shopping season shorter than usual, you'll always be able to find a sale. Please sign up and join in the fun!!!!!

[Elizabeth, Bailey & Bruin]

Lori is not kidding she did keep them up all year!!!  I witnessed it first hand LOL !!!  Seriously it is so much fun to get sweet doodle faces mailed to your home!  It's one of my favorite parts of the holidays!

[Janie, Jackson and Jilly]

Lori, I love that you left them up all year! I had to look for Jack and found him! lol I saved all mine from last year and can't wait to get this years!

[Lori, Daphne, Lucy & Pippa]

Janie,  Jackson was so cute in his antlers and little cuffs! I hope to see Jilly this year as well!

Dh started to worry that people would think HE was crazy too because I kept them up so long. I don't care. They brought me joy all year long! I can't wait to get the new ones!
