I just received my first OES Christmas card!!!

I'm so excited! I just picked up my mail and I saw an envelope with my name on it from North Dighton, MA and I couldn't wait to open it and there it was - a beautiful picture of a sheepie! Gosh - I better get moving because I still have to take a picture of Cooper and get the cards ready!
Christmas is coming how joyful it will be!!!!

How cool!!!! I'm so excited for you!
I got ine too :)
I still haven't gotten my cards done up yet either.. :oops:
Sorry to hijack this thread for a minute, but . . .

Okay, Jo, I give up. I've looked long and hard at your avatar, and I can't see what it is. Hints, please!!
I haven't even been able to get a family photo being that my camera is DEAD and the new one hasn't arrived yet.
So don't expect my cards early.

Chris, that's Yuki!

really? :lol: It's yuki after I groomed her. Her head is to the left. It's her entire body. butt on the far right. <- well that should have been obvious since I said her head was on the left. :lol:
Looking at her from above? I can see it now, but it's not immediately clear. At least to THESE old eyes!!
Ummm - wow - I should get a move on it . . . :roll:

Hey! Whoever this responsible party is for getting their cards out already: CUT IT OUT! You're making the rest of us look bad. :mrgreen:

I do hope all of you will be content to get yours around Valentine's Day from me... :twisted:
I just sent Drezzie's Mom an update for Mr. J's address!!!! :oops:

Blame the Army! 8)

I just take my overseas mail to the post office - they will weigh them and put on postage.

I bought my stamps today, and have picked out my picture. Guess I better get the cards made!

LOL- For someone who usually mails cards Dec 23,
I'm off to a better start this year :D
Now wait just one gosh darned minute!!! It's not even Thanksgiving!!!! It's not even the week before Thanksgiving!!!! And the cards are being sent ALREADY :excited:

NO NO! I"m not ready! I haven't even started taking pictures!!! EEEK!!!!!!
Zahra is great!!! :)

I can't wait to get my Christmas cards. They should come in next Friday.
I got one too........
Wow...I haven't even gotten the pics for our cards taken yet! lol That happens next Friday. There's a professional pet photographer in the next town, so I'm having the boys & Brees' Christmas pic taken together there. :)
I ordered my cards today!! I can't wait for them to start coming. I need to clear out display space - they will have to fight with the basset cards. People who come to my house and see it full of sheepdog and basset cards will know I'm finally over the edge!! And Todd has no clue that we are talking about 80 cards :oops: between the 2 groups!! 8O
This is sort of off topic - but should I be PC with these cards?
I mean are we all going non-denominational holiday cards?
I was working on mine today and after a couple hours I
stopped and thought, wow I may need to start over!

Shellie
I plan on doing what I want to, so don't expect mine not to say Merry Christmas instead of Happy Holidays, etc. :D
In Australia it is Merry Christmas, we don't have any cards that say Happy Holidays, sorry but most mine will have Merry Christmas on it for all that is the way it is here for christmas. :wink: :D
Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays or Happy Kwanzaa or Festivus for the Restofus is fine by me. It's all about the warm thoughts behind them.
I’ve got my first Christmas card yesterday and it was soo fun, I can ‘t wait until I get the next. :D
And I’m done with my own cards to

And in Norwegian: God Jul = Merry christmas
:wink:
I guess, but I think of you people here as family and I
didn't want to offend anyone. Funny I don't feel that
way about my own siblings right now...

I have my cards all ready to send out :oops: I only mailed the overseas ones tho....I figured I'd let you guys get your Thanksgiving done before I mail them to the US :lol:
Here Christmas season has started already....we had our Thanksgiving in early October, so after Halloween... its Christmas. The stores already have the Christmas music on. And the decorations out. :roll:
Usually I am a last minute person but in the last 2 years I have shopped early and with a list so right now I'm 1/2 done and today I even wrapped some presents.

Great minds think alike. I was thinking about taking a picture after I have my decorations up...
I think a gradual arrival of cards will be fun. Get a few each day, so the mail's not all bills or junkmail! :clappurple:
Got my first Sheepie Xmas Card today.. whoooo hooooooo.. and a beautiful picture it was...

Thank you Zahra.. you have put me in the Xmas spirit....
Are we doing the Card exchange again this year? I hope I hope I hope!!!
Ali
ali, YES! ...and Drezzie's Mom got together all the addresses awhile ago, and recently emailed them out!!!
BOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Somebody please send me the list!!!

Sorry I haven't been around. I'm kind of running on borrowed time here lately. But for GOOD reasons..........

Countdown is 6 days until Norm comes home for 2 weeks! Yahoo!!

And Delilah and I are flying up to Canada for the Show of Shows she was invited to.........

Oh my where does TIME GO TO?!!!
being that i am new to this forum what is the carl exchange? :? and do you guys send cards to each other. sounds nice. i am most impressed at how many people are in the forum and how spread out it is. wow lots of different countries. also you guys make you cards from photos of your dog? see i am just coming into my own and this is the very first year of my being a grown up and sending out christmas cards. i was woundering how you make them with the photo of your dog? it sounds good but i don't know much about christmas cards. :oops:

there are a lot of places that do picture cards now. Most places that develop pictures can do picture cards. I am getting mine at Costco, but I think Target does it, Walgreens, Osco, probably Walmart etc.
thansk amanda p. i will look into that. i ordered some cards on a site i found through the forum. i am excited to send out my first x-mas cards with my first dog on the front. god i must sound silly, but i am excited for people to see her. are the cards expensive?
Lauren -once you've taken the perfect photo for your Christmas card, you can either take it in or upload it to Sam's (Walmart, Target, CVS do it too). They have different card styles to choose from and then they print your picture as a Christmas card. It's not very expensive to have done either.

How exciting!! Your first Christmas with your own Olive on your cards!! I remember my first Christmas as a "grown up" and I was excited too. Couldn't wait to decorate and wrap gifts- everything had to be perfect. :D Hope your's is Wonderful!
You can usually find places that do it for less than $1 a card.
I am so bummed. I still haven't gotten my first card. :cry:

But the dogs are going to have their picture taken with Santa this sunday. It raises money for the local animal rescue group. I am planning on using that picture for the cards.

Wish me luck in trying to get all of them to look fluffy and cute at the same time.
I had mine done at Target - and chose from the ones done by kids at St. Jude's. If you chose from that group, all the proceeds go to St Judes Children's Hospital. They were .35 for next day service, so the price was right and for a good cause. I think they turned out great - and you guys will get to see them soon!! :D
