I'll probably be making my cards this coming Sunday and sending them Monday, as that's when I plan to be back at my home town for a bit (and where all the cards my parents have are stashed away x3). So, may or may not be some repeats from me, although I might pick up a couple extra in case I don't have any non-holiday specific cards!
In the meantime, though, I should plan what all I'll put in each one for you all >w>

I'm so excited to see what you do put in mine, Twille! Winter Solstice cards aren't something I've had before.

The cards I got won't have any specific french greetings on them, unless I add them myself. (Available on request~) They're my favourites out of all the cards I saw on a scouting trip before this event was confirmed, and I managed to run and get them last night in between work, my late bus, and the shop's closing time. I like them a lot and really wanted to get you them.

Mine will be a variety of cool cards (probably sourced from Paperchase, which always has awesome ones!) And each will contain Seekrits and also yeah many stickers and goodness. =D
And stamps from Britland! Buying a stamp book today so hopefully there will be nice ones...
If we do this again next year I'll be back in NZ, I'll buy the CHEESIEST, BESTEST kiwi-est cards. >: D

For the record, we have all addresses lined up and ready for sending, s'just that I have this job of fluctuating loads and yesterday was one of those days when stuff piled up and I worked until 10 PM or so. But if I don't have them sent out by the end of today, everyone present is officially entitled to poke me with pointy sticks =D
I've been meaning to build up a proper stack of cards so I wouldn't have to start searching for them every year, so this year is as good as any. Turns out that very nearly all cards in our stores are generic wintery holiday cards and nearly all of them also have printed Estonian text on them. Jury's out on whether I'll manage to translate them, especially those that have entire lengthy poems xD

I would love a custom Liou french greeting! <3 Everyone's cards sound awesome and I'm super excited!! =D I need to start working on mine! I got about 8 different designs, so there'll be a couple of repeats, but they're all lovely, I promise! They're all in Spanish too. Some have more text than others, but I'll be adding a translation for you inside!

Yeah, I'd be excited to have French greetings from Liou too, and other exciting stuff from you other peeps! <3
I'm posting my first card tomorrow- I'd hoped to get a bunch done today but was busier than I thought! I'll have time tomorrow evening to do a few more though, and should get them done Sunday to post in my Monday break.

I am all over foreign greetings, and in return do let me know if I can throw in some of my own too. =D
I shall hopefully do the cards this weekend. Will have to go buy stamps at some point (Thundy and Thorn's I can get from work but we have no international stamps.) but I aim to get these out by next week. \o/

So, change of plans on my part, as it ended up that I wasn't able to go back home before next week. I went out and got my own cards this morning instead of using those stowed away in my parents' basement, but! I think it sort of turned out for the better!
I happened to stumble upon the perfect card pack at the store, as it had some Merry Christmases, some Happy Holidays, and a couple Season's Greetings. Christmas, other holidays, and general winter all in one \o/ (plus they're really cute designs <3) Only downside is that there were only eight cards in the pack, so while most of you will share card design with one other person, one of you will get your own unique one! x3
I've been decorating them today, so hopefully I can still send them off tomorrow as planned! :3

My batch is ready to send off! I just need to take them into the central post office and make sure I got the correct postage otherwise more than likely I'll be receiving a whole bunch marked 'return to sender'

I've posted all the cards for the Americas! Was gonna post some yesterday, but the queue was to the door so I turned around and walked right back out. xD So posted them today instead!

Mine are all finished! I shall be sending them out tomorrow and they will arrive...when they arrive. It depends on where you all are. Thundy and Thorn will probably get theirs in a few days but everyone else, you'll have to wait.
I hope you all like them though. <3

Dropped off mine just a bit ago, so assuming that everything was done right on my end, you should all get your letters soon! Ahh, I’m excited, not only to get the cards in the mail, but also to see reactions and pics from others!
