Who's Up for a Doodle Christmas Card Exchange This Year?
Last year a small group of us formed a group in order to exchange Christmas/Holiday cards for the season. I wanted to open it up for others to do the same thing so I have created 3 TWO new private groups just for this purpose.
WHY a Christmas/Holiday card exhange? Cuz it's FUN! As the days of Christmas draw closer and closer it's a blast to get a mailbox full of doodle cards almost daily! Here's what my wall looked like last year full of cards from doodle friends:
Now, why a private group? Well, because DK as a whole is a public site where anybody can see in (unless you've marked YOUR page or blog or photos as private), we need a private group to protect everyone's private mailing addresses. So please don't exchange addresses in public unless you don't care who knows where you live. Also because we have 5,000+ members we need to contain the groups to a limited number so nobody has to spend $500 paying for postage =)
How does it work?
You request membership to the group (listed below) and once you are in, you'll soon get a chance to share your mailing address with everyone else in the group. Once the group is full or there joining deadline is reached...EVERYONE in the group is to send EVERYONE ELSE in the group a Christmas (or Hannukah or Holiday) card that includes a photo of their doodle or them and their doodle. That means you do have to send every member of that group a card and in return you'll get a card from every member of that group in return! Fun =)
Each group is private and membership is limited to 50 members. You may request membership to either of the two groups until they are full or the joining deadline has arrived. If you join and stay in any of the card exchange groups, then that means you are willing to exchange cards with all of the members of those groups. Otherwise, if you do NOT wish to do so, please leave the group as it is only fair to have addresses of those you will actually send cards to.
Here are the TWO groups, you may join any one you wish.

http://www.doodlekisses.com/group/XMASGroupB--group B is now full
Group B is closed as it has reached 50 members. Group A has a more room for members. There's no difference between the two other than different folks in each group. If you feel comfortable sharing your mailing address with others for a fun activity...do join one of these two groups as it IS a lot of fun to open your mailbox and find dozens of doodle cards.
AND you don't have to celebrate Hannukah or Christmas specifically...you can consider it a "Holiday" Card exchange if that is your preference.

Should we join all three, then leave 2? Or how will we know which one we want to stay in?

Which one is the one from last year? Oh, the CCE Group. Thanks.

I will not make a big email announcement about this and will let you spread the word by 'word of mouth' -- tell your friends which group you join and suggest they join too.

I wonder if there could be a Canadian group? Just because postage from Canada to the U.S., where a lot of the members are from, would really add up. Just a thought....not that you don't have enough to do already!

That would be fine. If I start it would you be willing to take it over and lead out in the group?
-
-
I don't know what that entails. What would I have to do to lead out the group?

This would mean responding to requests from members of DK to JOIN the group (they'd come to your email) - essentially you'd get an email that says:
"So and so has requested to join the 2009 Christmas Card Exchange-Canada group. To accept their membership click here" and that link would take you to the membership list and you'd click on "accept" and that would be it. You'd also be in charge of letting people in to a max of 50 (not counting me) and you'd decide on a date on when to close the group to new members (so that everyone has time to mail out cards for Xmas), etc?

Well, I can certainly do my best to do that. Any questions, and I'll e-mail you! :) Maximum 51 people, including you, closing off membership perhaps around December 1st to facilitate the mailing of cards in time for Christmas.

Right...that way those who order cards can have them ordered in time for the the right amount of people. AND--do invite your Canadian DK friends so they know about the group. There was one or two in our old group, I'll tell them about the new group in case they'd prefer to save on postage! The group is formed...I'll send you an invite make you an admin!
