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 we now have 2 new private groups just for this purpose.
WHY a Christmas/Holiday card exhange? Cuz it's FUN! As the days of Christmas/Hannukah/etc 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:
(anyone else who wants to post pics here is welcome to show off the fun from last year!)
How does it work?
You request membership to ONE of the groups (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 (50 max) or the joining deadline is reached (Nov 30)...EVERYONE in the group will share their address and EVERYONE 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 up to 49 other members of your group a card and in return you'll get a card from up to 49 other members of that group in return! It ROCKS!
Each group is private and membership is limited to 50 members. You may request membership to
one 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.
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 =)
Here are the TWO groups, you may join any one (but only one) you wish.

http://www.doodlekisses.com/group/XMASGroupB--this group is now full
PLEASE NOTE: the count for the groups is off (technical glitch) so group A will read 52 when they reach 50 and group B will read 51 when they reach 50.
