It could be 3, 5, 10 or 100. Though 100 isn't very practical. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-off-my-previous-thread-would-anyone-be-interested-in-a-holiday-card-swap#post-1197643 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 15:23:09 +0000 travelingnanny 1197643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wheres_c- I'm not a gold member. </p> <p>@bpcmarj- Ok. Just seemed like a pain to have people join that site, but maybe that is what everyone wants to do. What if someone wants to get/ send more than 3 cards? Are they SOL? Or maybe it just isn't something this community is interested in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-off-my-previous-thread-would-anyone-be-interested-in-a-holiday-card-swap#post-1197558 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 15:01:27 +0000 wheres_c 1197558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd perhaps be interested. would prefer if it was gold only... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-off-my-previous-thread-would-anyone-be-interested-in-a-holiday-card-swap#post-1197515 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 14:48:06 +0000 bpcmarj 1197515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelingnanny: I wouldn't be interested in doing it the way that you posted, or probably at all at this time, but when I did one back on WB, we used swapbot. People signed up and it matched you with 3 people to swap cards with. That way, not everyone in the group had your address and it felt a little more secure. Just an idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-off-my-previous-thread-would-anyone-be-interested-in-a-holiday-card-swap#post-1197441 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 14:21:43 +0000 travelingnanny 1197441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee- I totally understand. That is why I'm just putting feelers out right now. To clarify- I wouldn't post names/ addresses on HB. It would be emailed to all the HB peeps who want to be involved. I understand if you're not cool with that since you just never know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-off-my-previous-thread-would-anyone-be-interested-in-a-holiday-card-swap#post-1197415 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 14:13:37 +0000 BSB 1197415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelingnanny: Oh, ok. It just makes it easier for the person planning it because it send reminders out, too. </p> <p>I will have to think about it if it's going to be a list that will be shared publicly. I don't want spam and I try to somewhat limit emails and such on the WWW. </p> <p>ETA: Oh, maybe I won't feel comfortable having my name and address on a public list. Sorry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-off-my-previous-thread-would-anyone-be-interested-in-a-holiday-card-swap#post-1197389 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 14:03:05 +0000 travelingnanny 1197389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee- I've never heard of it before. If it involves everyone else signing up then it might just be easier to use e-mail. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-off-my-previous-thread-would-anyone-be-interested-in-a-holiday-card-swap#post-1197383 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 14:01:28 +0000 BSB 1197383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelingnanny: I would be interested. Have you considered using swapbot? <a href="http://www.swap-bot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.swap-bot.com/</a> That way swapbot manages the names &amp; addresses. I managed a couple swaps in the past and it's fairly easy. Although, it can be somewhat a process to get people signed up for an account then another process to enroll in the swap. If you're familiar with swapbot, it's easy. If you're not, it can be a pain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-off-my-previous-thread-would-anyone-be-interested-in-a-holiday-card-swap#post-1197360 Tue, 05 Nov 2013 13:54:00 +0000 travelingnanny 1197360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm part of another community that did one last year. I'd be more than willing to orchestrate it if anyone is interested. Basically I would post my email, everyone would email me their name, username, and address, then I would create a big spread sheet (or something), and finally I would send everyone that spread sheet. If a ton of people are interested we could put everyone into groups of say 5 that way no one is paying $100 on stamps, but those interested could mail everyone if they wanted. </p> <p>So, would anyone be interested? </p>
