I was thinking lets try get them out before April 1. Does that work for everyone?

Reason #18377101 why I love these swaps: this is how I find out whose PPK name goes with whose FB name. :D

Yay, I'm hoping to have time to make cards, but I'll definitely find something awesome if not! Once again, my supplies consist of construction paper and crayons!

PPK swaps make my life.

Can someone help me out with postage? Two stamps seem to be enough to ship abroad, but what about Canada? Do I need extra postage?

Hey all,

I am wondering if there about 5 people who would be willing to send and receive an extra card… let me know!

I signed up for 10 cards and only got 6 names, so I'm happy to do more :)

great, thanks!

My stuff will be sent out closer to the end of the month. Sorry, pals! You'll get it...I'm just in the midst of a move and several deadlines so I'm all over the place. <3

The goal is apr 1, so you are doing fine!

re: stamps. From the US to abroad, you need 3 stamps (or 2 stamps + a third stamp with about half the value). It's almost $1 to send a letter anywhere outside the US, including Canada.

I found all I wanted for the gifts and got the material for making the cards. Now I need to get creative!

Anek · **Posted:** Fri Mar 23, 2012 2:43 pm

Everything sent out this afternoon! The post office lady was super sweet and said they would make the afternoon post. Priority, so they should arrive in a few days. Yay! I have tracking numbers for the packages if you want to check the status.

Mine are still waiting to be posted but by April 1st for sure! Sorry! :)

I am sitting down and finishing mine this weekend. (All handmade so it was taking a wee bit of time.)
FUN!

In previous swaps, I've only put two stamps on the cards I've sent abroad, and have never had them returned. Have people not received my international cards?

This belongs in the "best thing about your day" thread but makes more sense here. I got this LOVELY gift from Anek!

Pâté-type things, a space bar, white (!) and dark chocolate, an adorable bunny cookie cutter, cute lady bug wooden pegs, and best of all--the sweetest handmade bunny Spring card! Anek said in the card "I hope you like bunnies...". Well, yes, yes I do. I just happen to have the Velveteen Rabbit tattooed on my body. <3 It's still not finished but...

Thank you so so so much Anek! I hope you get your gift soon. :)

Anek · **Posted:** Sat Mar 31, 2012 2:46 pm

Yayy!!! Glad it arrived and you like it! Your tattoo is gorgeous!

I missed today, so mine will go out Monday. Luckily, spring continues!

choirqueer · **Posted:** Sat Mar 31, 2012 8:31 pm

All my stuff is going to be later than April 1, but (hopefully) it will be worth the wait.

I just have to say that every card I have received so far has been so awesome I thought my face might break from grinning so hard. Thank you ALL for being so totally freaking amazing. I love you so much! <3 <3
