It’s that time of year again… time for the 2nd annual Christmas Card Swap!!! Aren’t you all excited?! Last year I wasn’t sure how well it would be received, but we had quite a few people sign up!! This year there are even a few people copying the idea on their blogs… So, here is how it works:
Depending on how many people sign up, I will divide you all into groups of 5 or more people. You will send a Christmas card to all the people in your group, and will be receiving cards from the people in your group. Let’s say you are put in a group with X,Y,Z… You will send cards to X, Y, and Z and will receive a card from X, Y, and Z. Make sense?! Good! :)
Your cards can be store bought or handmade and you can feel free to add a little something to the card like your favorite running quote, running advice, candy, a little ornament, a sticker, a note of encouragement or a funny note, or you can just send the card… Whatever you want to do is PERFECT! Just don’t be sending pairs of running shoes, an Ipod, or a free entry to Boston (unless you’re sending it to me) We want to keep this cheap so everyone can join and doesn’t feel bad for just sending a card! :)
After everyone is put into their groups I will be sending out an email including your group members ONLY with their blog links (so you can get to know them if you don’t already) and addresses so that there’s still a bit of privacy and everyone’s addresses aren’t out there floating around on the internet somewhere! Safety people!! :D The groups will be picked by Random.org so we keep things mixed up! I will say that if you participated last year, I will try my best to pair you with different people this year so that you meet even more interesting people. :)
I will be adding people to a list at the bottom of this page as they sign up… So, if you sign up and for some reason, do not see your name on the list after a couple days… just shoot me an email and we’ll get it taken care of!
If you can think of anything that I may have left out, let me know! Let’s get this PARTY STARTED!!! You are welcome to invite your friends! All are welcome! :) Feel free to put the logo on your blog and link it back to this page as an invite to other bloggers! AND YES, international bloggers are welcome to join as well as those without blogs… Dailymilers or Twitterers can join too!!! ;)
How to sign up:
Send an email to runners.luck@hotmail.com with the subject “2011 Christmas Card Swap” and include the following:
Name:
Blog Title and URL: (or link to your twitter, dailymile, or facebook if you dont have a blog)
Mailing Address:
Introduce yourself in a couple sentences: (so that others in your group can get to know you)
Additional Information: (if you feel you can only send to 1, 2, or 3 people instead of 5 or more, its totally cool!! OR if you are willing to send a card internationally or not! Just let me know!)
Come back to this page and just post a quick comment stating that you’re in so that I can cross reference and double check entrants. That’s it… So easy a caveman could do it! ;)
