Business Card Swap **Read and Respond**

In summary, Kelly McNamara is organizing an opportunity for 75 different people to send in their business cards with their reasons for beginning and staying with PC. Each person must mail 75 cards with a self addressed envelope with enough postage. The deadline for the cards to be mailed was extended to August 31st. There are 84 people participating in this swap and those who do not mail their cards within the allotted time will be cut from the exchange. Latecomers are still accepted and if someone does not have 75 cards, they can send less and receive less back from the swap.

I have to note something here before I receive any more cards.

If you are printing them out yourself and they are attached together...
please separate them before mailing them.

Now...if you have already mailed them in (I have received a few like this) PLEASE DON'T WORRY!! :D But, if you think about it....if I receive cards from THIRTY OR FORTY OR FIFTY people:eek: like this...well, that's a lot more time I will need to spend on sorting and such for this swap.

Yep...I just sent PM's to most of the ones remaining giving them a reminder...

I apologize if I PM'd you, and you have posted that you have sent them-
I just don't have time to cross reference all of the posts/PM's I have been getting!

Please don't take offense...all the names seem to run together! (Even all the names of people who post all of the time!! :) )

I'm right there with you!!! I have a terrible memory!! I sometimes can't remember my hubby's name & we've been married 19 years!!! I used to laugh at my mom because she always called us kids by the wrong name when she was upset. I blamed it on all 4 of us having names that started with the same letter. But my kids & hubby all have names that start with different letters & I still get confused!!! So never fear, you are not alone! Although if you actually knew me it wouldn't be any comfort to be in the same group as me!!!!! You would be very very scared!!!
 
  • #74
Kelly, mine went in the mail today:D
 
  • #76
Kelly, I know you said don't worry about it but I have to say sorry about sending them still together after I printed them - just thought it would be better for mailing. I did think about it and to ask you but was hurrying to get them in the mail - sorry!
 
  • #77
As far as the names go, it is so hard to know people by names because I used always look at the photo (I mean avatar) and then the signature. Sometime people don't put even their first name in their sig so then I knew them by their screen name.

I barely knew people by their screen names until they started changing their images. and some people have changed them a couple times - right when I got used to the new one.

I am glad to see I am not the only one.

Glad to hear that I am "ok!" and not just being a blonde and not remembering things!!

And I said NO NEED TO APOLOGIZE about the cards being still together!! I knew that people were trying to make them go through the mail easier by being flat and all together....Just didn't want a TON of them to do that!! :eek: So I figured I would post about it since there are still many that need to get mailed in! So....no worries, K?? :love: :love: :p :p :love: :love:

Another note about sending cards...please send them in a heavy duty envelope. Some are coming in regular business size white envelopes and they are NOT making it through the mail well.

I would say use a 6x9 manilla envelope if you have one. They are made out of sturdier paperstock and hold up better!
