Sept to Nicky

Nicky is one of 5 new people who signed up in September. That is a record. I think the most new people in one month has been two. I'm so curious about how people find the blog and the exchange. I've pondered asking for more information when people first sign up - but, it's very unusual for me to change how the exchange works. It's been plugging along with roughly the same number of people for so long - I don't want to mess with the system. 

I needed 3 stamps with red and green a few weeks ago - to write thank yous for a friend. Recently she told me that one of the recipients of the thank you had asked her if she was a calligrapher. She laughed. She acknowledges that she has terrible penmanship. I wonder what people think when they find out that someone used a calligrapher to write a thank you. Seems like a good idea to me - but maybe there is another way to look at it.

After sending Finnbadger his reminder to start his holiday mailings - I can't stop thinking about my own. Once again - I will be putting them inside the December envelopes. 

These were supposed to be issued on Sept 12 - I have forgotten to look for them. Maybe I'll do my Dec mailing in Nov - and put the November envelope inside. I am very fond of these designs. I might not use the amaryllis - it's not that Christmasy.
