Anyone remember these?
Last year I did a little holiday card exchange with my blog readers (er that would be you). It was so much fun making a stack of cards and then receiving so many cards from all over the world to brighten up my little flat. I’d love to do this again this year, so I hope you’d like to too. Just send me an email (mail@ysolda.com) in the next couple of weeks with your address and I will make some cards and send one out to you, wherever that might be. I’m not at all religious, although I do celebrate Christmas in a rather secular manner, so my cards won’t be to do with any religious holiday in particular. But I will be totally delighted with whatever card you want to send me, so please don’t stress about that. Of course I will be making my cards but I understand that this is a super busy, stressful time of year and that it’s almost impossible to get through everything on your crafty to do list so I will be just as happy to receive a card whether or not you made it. (If you are looking for awesome handmade cards to send out though I bet there are lots available on Etsy).
I don’t want this to seem like a stressful sort of swap (and also I’m rather lazy), so I’m not setting this up as a big organised swap although I did consider it. I’m just looking to send out some cards and get some in return, but I won’t mind at all if something comes up and you don’t manage to send one out. If you think this is a most excellent idea though I’d love to see you post your own call for card swapees, do leave a comment if you decide to.
Now to come up with a design. Hmm…

Of course! The card was/is lovely.
This year seems to have gone so fast, I remember those! I’d like to exchange cards!
What a lovely idea! I’d love to exchange cards, and I will do the same on my blog.
Now why didn’t I think of this? ;)
I too love this idea and would love to do it on my blog as well.
I’d love to exchange cards :-)
What a grand idea! I think I’ll add it to my Web Wednesday links.
I love sending and receiving Christmas cards, so I’d love to take part in this – I’ll send you an email. I’ll think about doing a similar thing on my own blog – I just have to figure out if I have the time for it.
Oh my goodness, I don’t think I was around for this last year. What a marvelous idea! I’m in.
I love Christmas cards, but I never get any, so I’d love to do this! I’ll post something on my blog and send you my address later.
Count me in! :D
It sounds like a great time! I’d love to swap cards…and thanks for the great patterns. I even had to avail myself of one (or two!)
i’d love to do this – i sent you an e-mail with my address…
I’m going to do this on my blog too, what a great idea. I’d love a christmas card from you I’ll email you later today. Its so nice to share at christmas and you also make new friends.
I’d like to take part in exchanging cards. I’ll send you an email.
What a lovely idea. There is nothing cheerier than mail around the holidays. I’ll drop you an email with address. Thanks!
What a great idea! I save my Xmas cards every year and either hang them up to decorate doorways or recycle them and use the covers as gift tags.
I will definitely participate!
Thanks!
You know what’s funny – I actually posted a call for a card exchange last week, inspired by yours last year. And, I have already sent you a card, figuring I’d better get it off quick since you’re half way across the world from me.
I’ll email with my address.
I sent you an email yesterday to swap cards. I’m going to put a post on my blog about a card swap too.
happy holidays!
What a great idea! I’m going to put that idea up on my blog and send you my e-mail address too! :-)
Oh, count me in again! I was thinking about sending you a card and trying to remember if the address I have is your old one.
I LOVE this idea! I’m going to do a swap on my blog as well with a Japanese twist on my end. Can’t wait to see what you send out!
I would love to join in as well, if that would be alright. I will email my address. Thank you so much! Hannah
I’m a card girl too. I’d love to exchange cards.
Just sent you an email!! :) I’m planning on doing a little card swap myself once I get my cards from the printers… :)
Oh my gosh! I thought I’d sent you a comment but don’t see it here. Anyway, I’d love to be a part of your card swap – although I have to admit that mine aren’t handmade. :) Yay! This will be fun!
I’d love to be a part of the card swap. I am thinking of making Elijah for my 3 year old nephew.
Oo, count me in!
Oh yes! I’d love to be part of the Christmas card swap! I’ll email….
It doesn’t matter whether you will receive a handmade or printed holiday card . Just receiving it is already a fun.
