The NTWF Christmas Card Swap 2022 (signups closed!)

[Carolyn]

3 cards sent! Only one of these was international oops. And um barely got the category of greeting card for one of them... they're a little thick xD

[Allison]

Well, I bought two different cards, totally different from one another. And though one of them says "holiday" they definitely lean Christmas. So I might have to get creative for a few of you, or you might get a card you've gotten from me before. 'Cause I can't remember what I've sent every year.

[Huntress]

Feels like it's high time to throw out a general reminder to get 'em cards going because I have to maintain an eventrunner front somehow C: I'd recommend aiming to get the far-away cards out by the end of November, but tbh it's always been and always will be guesswork.

...also feels like I should've mentioned this sooner, but our address hasn't changed.

I just got back home from picking up some stamps and extra stickers, so ideally I'll be getting most, if not all, cards mailed out by today or tomorrow!

[Carolyn]

I have 2 international cards left and a two more American cards (I think? Might be down to one?) to go! I have cards picked out specially for everyone <3 Hope y'all like them!

[Carolyn]

All but one sent out! Just one USA one (need to find time to write it haha).

[Allison]

Okay... pray for me.... I think I put my international stamps in a "safe place." Two years ago...

Edit 1: My mom had some. Mine however... still "safe." Ha!

Edit 2: Found mine! But not enough. So still using some of mom's. Mom to the rescue! Ha!

[Twillie]

I've gotten a few cards so far, and hopefully the ones I sent are well on their way! :3

Carolyn Thank you again for the card, I love the artwork on both it and the envelope! Baby animals and a cozy fireside setting make for a winning combo <3 The note and Zathandria sketch are also lovely, thank you!

Allison Aw haha, very cute Grogu card, and I love the little pun as well xD The same thought crosses my mind sometime as well, crazy how that is! Thank you for the well wishes, hoping you have good memories for this year and next as well!

Huntress Fraze Such a pretty card, and the Shad sketch inside is great! =D Thank you, and happy holidays and new year to you as well!

[Ginz ❤]

I received my first card today!

 

Allison , thank you so much for a super lovely card and a super sweet message inside! <3 I loved it, and it made me feel all the warm fuzzy holiday feelings! I've been fighting off a cold for the past few days, and seeing this in my mailbox cheered me up a lot! Thank you very much! <3

[Allison]

I've gotten a few too, but didn't want to double post, so I was hoping someone would start the "card received" posts. And yay! I'm glad my cards, even my international ones, are starting to arrive.

Twillie -- Thank you for the cute card with the doggy, and the sweet note.

Carolyn -- Two cards in one! I love it! So cute. Thank you! And the drawings were lovely too. You don't want to see my drawings... trust me.

Huntress and Fraze -- You know I love cards in a foreign language, right?? Such a cute card and poem. And thanks for the translation too!

Birdy -- Such a JOYful card. And yes, very appropriate. And with enough stickers to require extra postage. Impressive! So very bright and colorful. As I was opening the card, I actually apologized to the gingerbread sticker I tore.And I have to comment on the James Web telescope stamp too! I love all tings NASA.

Quite a few of our cards have arrived as well, some...a while ago, whoops. xD We've been busy with work and preparing for Christmas and also bouts of illness, sorry, guys. Replying on behalf of Thundy too, he might interject with further stuff later.

Carolyn, your cards were the first to arrive! As Thundy noted, one embodying each of our nationalities. I loved mine, and glad it was in support of my homeland. :3 Hopefully we can have a nice meet in 2023. Also, thanks for the cards, though Thundy immediately made me put mine into a sleeve because it was 1st gen. I hope you did not accidentally get me a rare. =P

Allison, your's arrived next! Thank you for the adorable baby Yoda. And to answer your question, I totally understand the confusion on your part, because we've mostly been keeping things off forum, but me and Thundy have recently moved in together after dating for two years. So not quite engaged/married, but definitely more than friends. xD

Huntress and Fraze, yours arrived a few days ago. The card is super pretty, thanks, and we loved custom Shad stamp. I agree: hopefully this year can involved another one of those meetups. Thank you for making one this year too: we had a wonderful time. <3

Twillie, yours was the last to arrive! Thanks for all the good vibes, and for admiring the food we're making. I will, however, try to save you from the abomination that was those nachos. xD (I cannot promise anything)

We will not be able to get to any cards until the 3rd January at the very least because we are going away for Christmas, but rest assured, any that arrive will be eagerly opened when we come back!

[Carolyn]

Twillie -- Thank you for the beautiful flower card and for the gorgeous bird and flower stickers! And it means the world and back to me that you enjoy my silly stories and that you like Set so much. He's got a bunch coming on the horizon, including an idea for another series (with Haakon. They're both going to love hanging out with one another. Besties! /s)


Huntress and Fraze -- Ahhh European Robins and (I think?) Blue Tit? So dang cute ;-; And I love getting cards in other languages, it's so cool. Thank you much!! And your custom stamp is wonderful. I cut it out and taped it into my gratitude journal.

Birdy -- Oh my goodness, haha. Your sticker game is always on point and never fails to make me smile. I kept your envelope, it's so sticker-fied and glorious.

Allison- BABY YODA! Such a cute card and a lovely note <3 It made me chuckle to read that my card came so early. I went a little overboard with sending everything (for the most part) in November this year, oops Lol.

Celestial- I think it was a 1st Ed gen 1, yup Saw it and thought you might enjoy. And for sure. Here's to hoping I'll be around then--very much job depending, but if I am, I will head to NYC!

Liou- Set and Truce drawing??? ;-; Adorableness? Birb?? Stickers??? This is such a nice card ahhh

[Liou]

Only some of my cards have gone out, the rest is getting done now that I have some time off for the first time in a while and have time to like. exist.



A couple cards arrived this week,

Allison it's so prettyyyy! thank you for the cuddly bear and shiny stars and wishes ;u;

Huntress Fraze thank you for BEARS - I detect a hibernation theme, very good - and dear Shad, and lovely message <3

And the card of Carolyn had already arrived and was a very early Weewoo, thank you for PRITTY DRAGON OMW?? and the Magic of Norbert =D and reminders of many things I enjoy and need to treat myself to again <3

[Ginz ❤]

I got Huntress & Fraze 's card today! Thank you so much, it really brightened my day! I unironically and unabashedly love the glittery grandma aesthetic, especially with a pink theme <3 The card is super  lovely, and the message and doodle inside even more so! Thank you again!

[Twillie]

Birdy's card came in today! :3 I love the card design with the starry night sky, and the poem inside is lovely~ I like that mental image you described of Mary enjoying a quiet winter night in the woods, I can definitely see it! It's been a minute since I last drew her, perhaps this could be a good excuse to do that again :3

Thank you for the nice card!
