Is anyone interested in doing a card or layout exchange?
For cards all we have to do is send a 1 handmade card to the others in the group 1 time a month. It is a really great way to get new ideas.
For layouts we could doing 6X6 layouts and mail them out again once a month. Since it is exactly half of the 12 X 12 it would be easy to minimize as well as enlarge for our own use.
Again another way to share ideas and keep in touch.

I would love to do it, but because I just had back surgery 2 months ago, I can't sit for long periods of time. As it is I have to sit on a pillow, because the disc they fixed on my lower back.
Maybe next time or in a couple of months. But it has to be before December because I will have to have back surgery again so they can remove the bone stimulator that is bothering me.
Thanks for the invite.
Sorry, wish I could join.

the last one I was in was fun. We would include the directions for anything unusual. I got so many good ideas and doing it just once a month was not hard to keep up with either.

The good thing about this is you can come and go as you need. If we can get this going hop on in. Anyone can come and go as they can participate.

I would love to join as well. Just a suggestion: Have you thought of doing this AFTER Summer? After we all come from vacation and we have more members in the board? I would love to participate, but in Summer for me there are too many weddings/graduations/parties to go, so little time.

yea Vic and Virginia
We can keep it really simple to start...let's say we decide to do a card exchange and 6 people decided to participate we just mail out 1 card to each 6. If we do a layout exchange we could either make 6 mine layouts or we could make just 1 layout and send a color photo copy with the directions

I am in for the cards then. I can't keep up with my own LOs, leave alone making it for someone else. Remember that part in the poll about not using your QKs for card or LOs because "I am just too busy buying them"? Well, that's was my response. ;D So I am all in for the cards, but LO's? that would be pushing it for me .

I think you are right. Cards would be less demanding and then hopefully we will all have such a greeting card stash you will no longer have to go out and buy them. ;D

Well then lets do a card exchange then. ;D ;D I will check list everyones name later and then we can PM everyone our address. Do we all want to mail on or around July 15th or did we want to wait for August 1st. i dont mind waiting if someone has holiday plans that it would be better to wait? What ever date we pick we can just mail out the same day of every month.
Everybody let me know.

Cards are good for me. Can we have like a 30 day deadline? We did this on 2peas one time for Valentines day. Everyone got everyone elses addy and sent them a valentines day card. I think it would be fun.

I would love to do cards, but my son bought me a plane ticket to fly back with him on July 11, and I won't be back until August7.
If you decide to do another card swap, I promise I will do it then. I really need to stay busy and not think about my back pain, and all the complications.
Or I could join and if you want you can wait until I get back to mail them to you.
We are planning a birthday party for my granddaughter when they come so I won't have time to do it then.
It's totally upto to you.
But please let me know.
