The first Smarch card just arrived!
Thank you Magpie for the wonderful Stiefmütterchen covered in snow. Lovely picture!
And it's not only the first Smarchcard but the first christmas card this season. Will have a place of honour on the living room wall.

Since there were so few of us participating in the card exchange this year, I decided to do something a little extra.  This, of course, required me to have to order some things, things which have not yet arrived, grrrrrh!  Which is to say that I'll be a little late in getting my cards out, sorry!

I was very proud to have finally carried my first few cards to the post box yesterday. Only after I had finished my shopping and put the key in my door again, it hit me: I hadn't put any stamps on the envelopes! Argh!!!
I have no idea what they are going to do with the cards. My addres is written on the envlelopes, so they might turn up in my own mail box again. Should they be delivered to you, I really, really hope they don't charge you guys extra or something. That would't be very christmassy.

I have a Magpie card (Ivo wondered what kind of flower it was) and an ylvs card. (Along with Freya's kraken! Thanks for the explanation.)

Oops, xavie! Yeah, I did that once too. Never knew if the card was delivered or not.

It's a horned pansy or viola.

I got a father christmas today that did the very same thing as your penguin Magpie - how's that possible???
Libra, thank you for card wishes and shiny stuff.
Have to think where to put  shiny stuff this year. If I let it Drift through the house as usual it will most probably be eaten by silly young cat. Not a healthy diet I suppose.

And today, I got a penguin, who dropped stars and reindeer and Christmas trees all over my laundry basket (yes, I should know better than to open Smarchcards over laundry baskets... what if it had been evil glitter? I would be wearing glittery clothes for two weeks!) Also, there was a hole in the envelope, so I'm sure some of those reindeer escaped and are now breeding and running amok in the post office.

But it would have been the perfect time for glittery clothes... so during the Christmas season!!!

Received a Libra card as well.

Got a lovely Ylvs card today!!! Thank you!!!

Got an original dutch card today, thankee Sahi!

I received lovely cards from Magpie and Sahi today, thank you both!  (which I carefully didn't open over freshly done laundry, just in case :-D)

And I also got a xavie-card!

A Xavie card for me as well! Thank you for the kind words ... and it had a stamp so you really sent it again you sweatheart!
