The holiday greeting card is a separate thread on BFP - it's not part of the Penpal thread. Usually whoever is willing to be the wrangler (you, perhaps?) resurrects the thread from the previous year and starts a new round of address gathering, etc. from everyone on BFP.

This is a winter holiday post secret round wrangled by moi. Winter holiday including a choice of Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas / Hanukah, etc. The secret could be anything related to your experiences or feelings about the holiday(s), past, present, or future. To look at examples, google images for "postsecret Halloween" or "postsecret Thanksgiving" (etc.). Lots of room for creativity! Make at least 1 for each person. That translates to: Include at least 12 postcards in the package you mail to me.

Please include 5$ with your project for my mailing costs. Do NOT send me a package that requires signature upon delivery.

Projects are due to me by Nov. 30th. You have a week grace period but after that, your project turns into firewood and you don't get your package of projects that others made you. You also won't be able to participate again for 6 months.

You can sign your name on your postsecret postcards or keep them anonymous. You can designate who you want to receive each card, or let me decide. Special points to anyone who let's me decide. Because that's fun! If you do want a specific person to get the card, write their name on the back of the card or put it in a little plastic bag labeled with "To so-and-so."

You can make all your postcards the same or all different. Postcard size can be whatever, just don't do anything crazy or heavy.

Please don't send me anything from a smoking home, perfumey, or with unsealed glitter

Bumping...........

[clay]

Mine are done...yay! Will mail out Monday!!!

[nycfem]

I finished mine this weekend. I kept them anonymous because I felt the secret might make others look askance at me... but then again, it wouldn't be a secret if that wasn't the case! Oh, and... sadly you all know my aesthetic style and handwriting by now so I'm not sure how secret it's going to be

[FireSignFemme]

Mine are done and ready to ship!

Of course! You know how much I love making lists. lol

I remembered last year that there was a lot of confusion because this thread is so old and encompasses deadlines, lists, "rules," etc for all of the prior years, and some mentioned wanting a new thread this year, so I made one.

Please see: BFP Holiday Card Exchange 2013

To find using keyword search use advanced keyword search. The same two words in general search yielded nothing relevant.

nycfem....my packet will reach you Friday! Thank you for a great project! I lovbe YOU more.....

[candy_coated_bitch]

I finished!! My secret isn't very juicy but I'm happy with how the cards came out. I will confirm when they are actually in the mail.

[Bèsame*]

Well...I've moved out onto the breakfast bar for a glue down session! I'm doing a little of this and a little of that. Not far from being finished...lol

Mine were sent out yesterday by registered mail. No signature by recipient required but allows packages to be tracked. Expect two small packages. Inside - one plain envelope and one with writing on it for each participant. I forgot to enclose the participation fee after sealing up the boxes so that's on it's way in a separate envelope.

[FireSignFemme]

Oh I forgot to add - two of my secrets are true and one is half true. Have fun guessing

[candy_coated_bitch]

Omg, I had my postcards and $5 bill in my purse all ready to go to the post office today. I had errands downtown, walking on foot. It was soooo fucking cold I thought I was going to die. The p.o. was last on my list and was just like I...can't.....make.....it. I turned and went home. I saw on the news it was 3 degrees with wind chill! No wonder. I will try again tomorrow.
