Respond to this topic here on forum.oes.org  
today has been the best day so far for me i recieved 5 cards thats 19 cards so far woohoo they all look great im loving it :D :yay:
So Many Cards! I'm loving my first Holiday Sheepie Card Exchange!!!!

I wasn't going to decorate this year; too hard with us trying to move. but once the cards came pouring in, I at least had to do the mantel! I'll get a photo of it soon to share.

I made my cards yesterday; they should be here by the weekend and in the mail by Monday! :D
All of ours were mailed out today!
I updated my Avatar to reflect the holiday season!

Oh my gosh, I LOVE your avatar!

One of the many, many out takes from our photo-shoot, with a little Photoshop magic added. 8)

We seriously took close to 40 or 50 holiday themed photos of the girls to get the three or four that were "use-able".
I have received about 10 cards already and most of them have two sheepdogs! wow kudos to you guys. I would love another but I am so afraid to; Laika seems a dream and what if the second dog was a devil1 oh my!!!

The cards are great!! :D
We got your card today- Laika looks so beautiful!! :aww:
so I just got the STRANGEST holiday card...

airmail from my mom, who lives overseas. I open it, and its one of those photo cards, but I don't recognize any of the kids on it. I'm like "who are all these people? And WHEN did my mom get a sheepdog, and why didn't she tell me?"

And then it sinks in; its an OES holiday card from someone that has handwriting that identically matches my mother's! That it arrived airmail cemented my assumption that it was from my her.

So weird and unsettling! I was so upset that my mom had these strangers on her card, and had gotten dogs without telling me! :oops:
Just went to the post office over lunch, so our cards are on the way!

Keep 'em coming! I'm LOVING them!!
:D
I am loving all the cards...we are getting there.
Sometimes mine end up more like
"Happy New Year!"

Actually, last year they were :oops:
Can't wait to go home for more Sheepie Cards!!!! :D :D :D :D
This is my first year for the card exchange and I'm loving it. What fun to check the mailbox and see how many more have arrived.
I mailed the non-USA cards a couple of weeks ago. Most of the USA cards are gone with just a few more to get done.
hmm I still have to order my cards - but I did get pictures. it took so long becasue I wanted to get Mr Newfie puppy in the picture - you will see in all the pictures there is a space in the photo that is newfie sized - but no Newf :D :D

I need to download and order tonight.

Dan only picks up the mail ever few days - hope maybe tonight he will stop - I would love some new cards. I have all the postcard photo ones on my cubicle wall and everyone is enjoying them.

:lol: :D :D :clappurple: That made me laugh!! Thanks for the giggle!!
okay! all of mine are out! even the over seas ones!! whoo hoo!
80% of mine went out. the 20% not sent out are all for regular posters, so I figured they wouldn't mind there's going out a tad later. :oops:
I got your card yesterday Darcy...you need to put Panda on a diet...no more eating inappropriate things. :D
:D :cheer: More cards every day! I can hardly wait to open them. 8) Thank you so much everyone. :clappurple: It's particularly improtant right now as work is the pits. :evil: Making much needed changes and getting resistance and drama. 8O
Darcy, you always have the funniest cards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Darcy... I got your card yesterday too. My boys laughed out loud at it!

There were NO cards in today's mail.... I nearly cried!! :(
I was a little put out that we received Christmas cards yesterday and they were NOT from the OES exchange. :roll:
Darcy, I LOVED your card! :D :D LOL'd when I read it, then AWWWW'd when I saw Panda's picture. What a sweetie!! :kiss:

OMG, can you believe how BIG this thread has gotten??? 2268 people have read it, 173 replies have been posted, and it's (currently) 12 pages long!! OMG! 8O Honestly, though, I DO love this card exchange. And I will continue volunteering to be the keeper of the list. :excited:

Woo-hoo!!
Chris,
Thank you for all you do to keep the list going. I am sure it is ALOT of work and trouble. We appreciate it! :kiss:

I second that!!! Yes... THANKS for all the work. :D 8)
I am sitting in the computer lab at work, waiting for my ride (hubby said four o'clock, but it's already 4:20...). We got 15 cm of snow today so I'm more than willing to wait (beats driving...)

What is the one thought in my head?

HURRY UP HUBBY! THERE ARE SHEEPIE CARDS WAITING FOR ME!!!!!

I'm loving this!
No cards for me today :cry:
:D I went home at noon to walk Willoughby and of course to look for cards: 5 came today!!!!! :excited: :banana: :yay: :cheer: :go: :clappurple: 8)
:D WOW :D !!!!!!!!

I just checked my mailbox, and a FLOOD of fuzzy sheepies showed up today! 8)

Thanks everyone.....my cards will be VERY, VERY late this year....in fact they will at best be newyear's cards, and at worst, maybe St Patricks, Valentines, or perhaps, uh....mayday cards! :oops: :roll: ...sorry!
23 amazing sheepie cards so far... has anyone received Dutch and my cards yet ?

Thanks, Chris, for being the keeper of the list 8) I almost feel like a party crasher since I'm a fairly new poster, but this is soooo much fun!
Thanks for letting me know, I had mailed them from a site box and wanted to make sure they had gone :lol:
I got yours Jean! It was lovely! :D
Got boobaby's card yesterday and isn't her youngest the cutest cherub in that pink snowsuit???? Just thinking about that baby makes me smile.
I've not had any cards for the last TWO days. I want to make an official compliant. Hurrumph.

I've had 26 so far :D
I only count 23 - which means there may be cards waiting for me when and if Dan picks up the mail again this week :)
I got boobaby's card today, and i just love that pink snowcutie!!!! Made me laugh as well.

I'm bummed I haven't gotten more by now b/c we have guests over almost every day next week (starting this weekend), and I wanted to brag :twisted:

You forgot to stomp your foot!
For those of you who sent my son a card in California, he's left a thank you message under the topic: Extra Card? Extra Stamp?

And I want to toss my huge thank yous to you as well. This is just the best group of people anywhere!
:kiss:

Happy Holidays and thank you again for all the lovely cards.....

I got 3 more cards today, bringing my total up to 30! Keep 'em coming, folks!

Can someone post when they get my card? I mailed all of them on Tuesday, the 9th and just want to see how long it takes for people to start receiving them. Thanks!
I got a ga-zillion and yours too!! I love the photoshopped hats and heart melter Sammie!! :hearts:

I also like the card I got with Winston on it (from doggygirl). Guess that guy isn't shy and wanted to show the world his ....err... jewels. :oops: I'm not used to that, but I guess I'll experience it a lot having my first male dog. :twisted:

Also got batonrougesheepies card with their lovely family photo!!!!!!!

...and Nita's gorgeous doggies!

Love them all!
Chris, I got yours yesterday! Bentley was mesmerized and I think he recognized you & Dale. Seriously.

Mine were mailed on Wednesday, so they should be arriving soon.
Just got your today Chris...very cute!
Got yours,,,,Chris....got yours Floof...Nitas....Ali's.....etc..etc...I am getting soooo many....so excited..... :yay: :yay: :excited: :excited:

Oh, I forgot about ali's... love that car!!! Is it yours? Very classy pic!!!!!!!

I haven't received floof's yet!!
Thanks to those that have sent me the most adorable sheepie cards despite me not being on the list this year. If there are any other takers...I'd love a card. We are having pictures taken this weekend and I will send you one in time for New Year's! THANKS!
Cards are in the mail to you all!!
I will wait a few days, then scan in a copy, and explain the picture...... :lol: :lol:
At last! I had a nice crop today after a 3 day drought. I had started thinking the fun was over :(

I must say these cards have cheered me up a treat after yesterday's funk. Thank you again to all :ghug:
I just got my cards finished today. Some went out on Saturday and the rest will go out tomorrow.

All the cards are really great this year. I am just enjoying each and every one of them. We all look forward to openning up the envelopes and we pass the cards around and enjoy them.
Even at work they are asking me if I am getting sheepie cards this year.
I always bring them to work after the holidays for everyone to enjoy.
They can't wait to see them. Now after the holidays they have something to look forward to.

Thank you for all the lovely cards that I have received so far.

Mary
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I received 10 sheepie Christmas cards today (yes, I received others, but they're not sheepie cards!) and they just made my day! :D
woohoo after a few days getting sheepie withdrawls i finally got 10 cards this morning :excited: :yay: :banana: :go: im loving them all thank you guys all so much
I've got a stack to send out today, which probably will mean the mailman won't pick it up tomorrow ...for those who haven't received mine yet. :? I haven't even done family members yet.
I got yours Mrs J the pics are adorable :D
I sent mine! I sent mine!

(For those of you who participated last year, you will recognize this as a major win, as last year's holiday cards arrived mostly in time for Valentine's Day! :D :D :D :hearts:


I'm sorry they went out sooooo late again. The final part of the fiasco was the envelopes ordered from Staples STILL haven't shown up; they estimate that they will show up tomorrow. So we bit the bullet and bought them in several packs of small quantities. About a buck a piece just for the stupid envelopes!!!! :evil:
I'm sooooo proud of you! But I will miss the Great Valentine's Surprise. That was a hoot last year!
:dreidel5: :dreidel5: :dreidel5: :dreidel5: :dreidel5: :dreidel5:

PS: I :hearts: my :dreidel5: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks!
8) I have been getting cards like crazy... I LOVE ALL THESE CARDS!
This is so fantastic. I don't know what I am going to do once the holiday is over.

We received a card from a family friend on Saturday and I was like.... "Hmm, whatever, GIMME the SHEEPIE CARD." :lol:
Ha ha! I know what you mean! I usually hate getting mail with pre-printed address labels, because I know its an advertisment of some sort. But now! I know its a sheepie card!!!

You mean I have until Valentines Day????? :go: :phew:
No, it will be this year! :lol:
:D Three cards today, and 4 yesterday! :banana: this is great! I'm so glad some cards are late into the mail as that means I have more days to check the mail box! thanks so much! 8)
I'm sorry i haven't responded to you guys here re: the cards. They come more and more every day and I DO appreciate them! In fact they are the only decorations I am putting up.......... I have attached each one to a ribbon that hangs from the 2nd floor bannister. I will take a picture.

Thank you a gain for the great cards! :D :D
I have ours hanging on the wall going down our hall to the bedrooms. It's a race each day to the mailbox to see how many we get! My daughter, who is 20, is the worst! We are having so much fun putting faces to all of the forum names has been fun. Please note: ours are still sitting on the counter waiting for me to buy stamps. I promise I'll get it done soon! It just means you'll get more cards later!! :D
great cards again last night!! Dawn I love your picture!!!!

Mine finally arrived and should go in the mail this afternoon.
:excited: :banana: :yay: :excited: :banana: :yay: :excited: :banana: :yay:

WOOHOO, the domestic cards are out the door and on the way!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for letting me know they are arriving, Kerry. I will scan one in and post it now that they are out there. :D
We are so impressed with the cards this year. So clever! I am afraid ours will pale in comparison, but, they are in the mail as of this afternoon.


We just love going to the mailbox!!! :D
:D

I want to say how great these cards are too!!

Really special!!

I am trying to figure out a good way to display them...I am having a Christmas Eve party ...any suggestions?


Julie & Addie
You could fashion an iconic modern art piece from them!

Here is some inspiration:

I always think ours are so boring. I'm an accountant, remember..so I never get great pictures, or creative ideas.

But! I can do a hellava tax return!
You're funny, Deb!! I am enjoying the cards, too. I had my family over on Tuesday night and they were all enjoying the cards on display. Who's this? What a lovely photo! They know most of you from my stories, so it was nice for them to see you & your pups!! :D
oh these cards are so much fun .. eveyone who walk into my house i show them all .. way too cute.. the one that makes me laugh the most is the one that said the 3 wise men form clyde bear and owen .. i was ba humbug but every day i now can look forward to something .. thanks you all
I came in this thread to also comment on ButtersStotch's card. :lol: So creative and always upset I didn't come up with these things! Mr. J laughed and then said we should hang it on the fridge to remind ME that our guys are wise ............until he opened it up. :lol: I love how the three wise men looked. How did you do that!! Anyway, cool stuff. Only card I got today.
finally!!! My cards went out!!!! and those of you used to picking your way thorugh my poorly (and quickly) typed posts will not be surprised to find out there is a typo. took me a few times looking at the card to notice it, but yep there is a typo........
Would you believe ... I picked up 14 cards today from the mailbox :excited:
they are all so wonderful, thanks to all :lol:
I have a confession...

I wait until one big day to open all (well, really most) of the cards! The anticipation is at once wonderful and brutal with a big and growing pile of cards to open!

Once Joan and I open them together, we will put them up around the entranceway to the home, around the mirror and the woodwork... perhaps I'll take a picture this year! Almost impossible to take in at once, though.

Maybe I'll go and open just one...
That sounds like so much more fun!!!

The only problem with that is... I can't show them off when I have the most guests over!!!! I'm so excited about how many people have already sent theirs.

Yep, on mine there is a typo also. Didn't see it till all the cards were printed so they went as is.

It was easier to draw them than to get all three to pose. :) The best part to me was that the look in Owen's eyes exactly captured him-- super cute, but kinda creepy!
RON...

LOVE THE GOODIES I GOT with my card!

Thanks for all that!
WOO HOO! They actually went through the mail!?!

The envelope arrived in good shape I hope?
I got yours yesterday, too, Ron. FANTASTIC!! :cheer: LOVE the stickers! And the keychain! And the business cards. And last but CERTAINLY not least - your card! :yay: Woo-hoo!!
GOODIES????!!!! Did you send goodies overseas too?! NOW I'M EXCITED :excited: :excited: :excited:
I hope they don't slap you with customs duty! ;)
Ron I think the OES key fob will be my favorite Christmas gift!!!!!
I didn't get Ron's yet. :x
Ron, you're too good to us!

Merry Christmas!
Me, either.

Maybe today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope mine has an oes.org keyring, because mine was stolen in the robbery.
Woohooo!!! The sticker is my very favorite part!! Thanks, Ron & Joan!! You're so thoughtful & sweet!! :kiss:
I got mine! Thanks :D

Yes, the package made it here perfectly.
The card next to it coming from WI was all taped up, with lettering saying
"DAMAGED IN HANDLING IN U.S.P.S.
REWRAPPED IN MILWAUKEE, WI. 53201-5041"

LOL - kind of funny! :lol:
Received mine today! Wjow Ron, you rock!!!

Thanks, I love the key chain too....................
Fantastic Ron- Thanks so much!
Thank you everyone for such great cards- I'm another one not decorating this year- so if it wasn't for my wonderful sheepie cards, it would just be another month. Thanks for bringing Christmas!
did anyone get Tonks and Luna's Christmas card yet? I'm begining to worry. I know I sent them late, but I thought they'd at least make it to the members in the US before Christmas....

We did!
I think that I am officially the last one to send their cards out!! After 2 photo sittings that didn't turn out, we went with an old pic. Then Sam's Club cropped the photo that I picked so if anyone can't figure out what my picture is, I'll post the original in a little while!!
Everything went in the mail today and the people behind me at the Post Office were thrilled with all the International mailings! :twisted: I passed a girl who was sitting in her car addressing her package who then ended up behind me in line and proceeded to complain loudly about her wait in line to whomever was on the other end of her cell phone. Next time, have your stuff ready and you won't get behind me in line!!!!
I am just glad I wasn't last - thanks Mandy :D :D :D
Glad to be of service!!
Allison, I got yours today too.

Mandy, relax. You can't be the last one to mail them because according to my list, I've received 53 cards and there were 71 on the list. So, of course, taking us out of that, I should still be receiving 17 cards. How many has everyone else gotten?

I hit the jackpot today - got 5! Woo-hoo!! 8)
I got yours on Saturday, Alison and I got Kerry's today. 8) Thanks!
Did everyone get mine? I want to post some outtakes, but I want to make sure you all got them first!
I didn't but didn't check the mail, so I say go for it! I want to see. It's too cold out to walk down the street right now. 8)

Can't wait to get the rest!

Today I got violet's and laughed at the date on the bottom and then loved Marianne's! :)
Ours were put in the mail today...sorry so late. We've had a few things come up this month that were unexpected.

I am truely enjoying all of the cards. And with all the cards we are getting the mailman thinks we are pretty cool!

The date is so that we will be in your future. lol In order to change the date on my camera it has to be without batteries for a time period..so when I change the batteries I forget about the date until it shows up again. Anyways, back to the future. :lol:
Geeesh if I had known people would check so carefully, I might have gotten last year's out before February! :D


:oops: :oops: :oops:
I've loved getting all the cards. I have most of them taped to the stairway door but I need to get the rest up on the closet door.
Just to let you all know my cards are being mailed today.
2008 was a horrible year for me. i am behind on everything.
I ordered my cards late and just got them yesterday.
just so you know i wish everyone a wonderful holiday.
and cards r on the way.

sue
To all the late senders: keep 'em coming! It's nice to get cards after Christmas--it extends the season. I don't care when they arrive, I just love getting them!
Hey paula, I think that you will like this year's card from us!
:D Three cards yesterday and two more today. I need to rearrange my card dispaly! So exciting! Willoughby gets to sniff everyone! 8) Percy got up on my sideboard and knocked down as many as his paws could reach! :roll:
Late me finally got mine up on the wall!!
I counted - 55 OES cards so far - yippee!!!
Chris & Deb - your card arrived and cracked me up. That one is going to stay out all year long. Thanks so much for giving me something to smile and laugh at.

OK, so I dug through today's mail to find mine too!!!
OMG, that is great!!! 8O :D :lol: :D :lol:
Deb you really outdid yourself this year! I always look forward to your card, but this one takes the cake! :D
I agree. Mr. j put it together and said this one is definitely the best. It looks like the dogs have kidnapped you and your terrier....and have taken you guys (and the presents) off somewhere...
Thanks everyone, glad you guys finally got them. I sent them out last Saturday!

It was a lot of work, and I don't think we'll be able to top ourselves next year. And if you take out your magnifying glass, on the map Rebecca is holding, the red dot shows exactly where we live. 8)
Deb, that card was just PERFECTION!! 8) 8) You're right - you'll have a hard time topping that next year!
I got the bus today and I love it! Makes me wish I had similar design skills! Can't wait to see next year :D
Love the bus! It will be sitting out for quite some time.
Loved the bus. Immediately started singing " THE SHEEPIES ON THE BUS GO WOOF WOOF WOOF"
we got your card today and i agree this is the best one so far :D :bow:
My favorite part is Haggis plastered to the back window. :lol: That cracks me up!! :lol:
Deb - wonderful card!!!!!

thank you - and it was great meeting you this year as well. Let me know if you are going to Westminster again- I may do both days this year.
deb,
i always love your cards!!!!!!
i didn't get mine yet. hope it's not lost.

i finally sent mine out.
not crazy about them.
will do better next year.

2008 was awful for me.
OH WOW 8O :lol: :D

Deb your card had me in fits of laughter today and kept me giggling to myself all round the supermarket :lol:

Greg is going to absolutely love it. If there was a prize for best card it would go to you! :bow: :clappurple: :cheer:

My son, Tony in California just called to rave about "the bus". He loves it, as do we! Thanks!
My bus arrived today and it is super. I think it may have to stay up until Easter though. My wall looks great with all the cards on it!
I loved the sheepie bus too!!!!

All my cards are displayed on ribbons thoughout my family room ...but the BUS has a special place on my counter ----all by itself!!! I can't wait for everyone to see it on New Years Day!!! I am sure I will get many compliments on it!!!!! :D :D :D


Thanks Deb.....you are the master of holiday cards!!!!!! :bow: :bow:
I can believe how creative and fantastic this years cards were! Thanks to each and everyone of you. I hadn't posted yet as due to the snow and my impassable mail box..the mail stopped coming aprox a week ago. Yipiiii , yesterday I received 8 more cards!

Thank you to everyone - I loved all the photos of my extended sheepie families.

the sheepie bus pulled into Huntsville today. What a commotion it caused.
people were oohing and awing all over the place. :lol:

Deb thanks for a wonderful souvenier (sp?) of this sheepie Christmas :clappurple:
We really enjoyed the cards again this year. Our guests at the New Year open house that viewed the cards last year where asking to see them again this year.

Our dear friends are VW fanatics and tried to walk out the door with the bus.

Ron and Joan, thanks! What a thoughtful and well thought out Christmas surprise.
Love the card displays!! :D And sorry Jean that you received it so late. I mailed them on the 20th.

Strangely enough, our vw bus spent most of its life in Utah, traveled to Las Vegas for a body makeover around the year 2000, ended up out in Laguna Beach, CA where we purchased it from in 2003.

LOL, DH is on his way to Layton Utah today to pick up a bus that looks just like yours and it came out here via CA.
Lynda your card display looks amazing! Great job!

I am jealous as first everyone was raving about Ron's gift ...then yipiiiii mine finally arrived. I even checked my mailbox yesterday and there were another 3 cards! Still no sign of the bus however which I'm anticipating - can't wait!

I can't bear to throw any of the cards away (have saved all the cards from years previous) and am thinking of having a collage or something made from them.

Marianne
:D Thanks, Marianne! It turned out better than I thought it would!

I've decided to put all mine in a photo album with the year on the cover. 8)
My bus arrived today...I was worried that it may have gotten lost in the mail (or that our mail person thought it was just too darn cute to deliver!).
Thanks Ron and Joan for the sheepie key chain....can't wait to start using it!
The bus finally arrived along with 4 other cards! Just love it as well as all the others. Everyone did an outstanding job with their cards this year.

I'm keeping all of them and will use them for a project - sometime in the spring.

Marianne
I can not thank you enough for all of the wonderful christmas cards. I hope everyone received ours in time!! We FINALLY took all of them down this week and added to the growing collection of yearly cards.

Thank you so much once again. It was so exciting!! :D

I wish everyone a grand new year for 2009 :kiss:
