Kate often gets a less than spectacular envelope because her name pops into my head when I start envelopes before the lists are made up. I can rattle off at least half or more of the exchangers names without looking at a list - but a bunch of them have *problem* features - which makes me not-eager to do their names. Kate is an easy name - so I often do hers first and then regret that it's a dud - because it is a *warn-up* idea. So this time - I did a bunch of experimental designs and I loved this one - so I was excited that Kate would finally get a non-dud envelope. I did a practice on her name - and it was fine - but then the marker did a weird soaking thing when it hit the envelope - so, I was mildly annoyed --- and it doesn't even look that good in the photo. In real life - the colors on the design were very pretty with the left stamp. It feels good to clear out the orphans.
Time to sign up for the May exchange.
--- please read this before signing up.
we are testing a new process.
I normally ask everyone to send me the exact same information every month in an email and start a new list every month. I never had a good system for retaining information from month to month - but - I am going to try this option for people who sign up nearly every month to just type - Sign me up - in the email.
So starting this month - if you signed up in April - just end me an email that says:
Sign me up
add (Birthday) (2 Lists) - if applicable
and I will pull your name and address from the previous month.
SEND TO: ptenvelopes(at)aol(dot)com
If you are new to the exchange or only sign up once in a while - please send me your full name and address in this format:
Jane Doe
123 Oak Street
Ames, Iowa 50010
janedoe@gmail.con
(Birthday) (2 Lists)
It's optional to tell us if it is your birthday month - and optional for people to do birthday themed envelopes.
2 Lists - means you are willing to be on two lists if I need to make the lists come out even.
