So much fun! I used to love sending out random cards and letters. Thanks, Internet, for killing my hobby - then thanks, SA, for reviving it. Looks like it's time to dust off the ol' pens. Rufus LaPorte 209 S. Stephanie St. #B144 Henderson, NV 89012 USA NWS okay.

I just came back from a major holiday supply shopping spree, and I can't wait to get started on this poo poo.  I may just end up sending these out early. Christmas cards before Thanksgiving? Perish the thought. At least I'm not alone! Rufus En Fuego fucked around with this message at 18:23 on Nov 16, 2011 |

I'll start with Bengy since he replied first. How does that sound? I am an incredibly patient person, so whenever you get the time/inclination is just fine by me. Also, by no means limit yourself to those snail things. I lurve me some weird, weird poo poo. I'll be hitting up a mercado by the weekend, so expect to see something within the next couple of weeks. Cards went in the mail this afternoon! I chose my recipients completely at random, and strangely, most of them either didn't want NWS or didn't specify whether or not it was okay, so I played it safe and cutesy. I had a really fun and gross idea I wanted to implement, so if anyone here would like to be visually assaulted by their holiday cheer, let me know. I would love for at least one person to share my creative joy.

I was going to do the entire list, then I ran out of stamps and nobody in town has anymore. And the post office said they aren't going to sit there and individually stamp as many envelopes as I still need to send. So.. I guess you guys that have cards done with stamps already are all I'm sending. If you send me a card, I'll try to get you one out when there's stamps again.

So, I checked my post office box a few days after Christmas, and since there was nothing there, I thought it was all over for me. I checked back yesterday, and discovered a trove of latecomers!  Wuntnor sent me an adorable cat card all the way from Deutschland, replete with activity pages (one is an envelope you fold yourself!) and Haribo Gold Bears (not pictured - they are in my belly). Haribo Gold Bears are the superior gummi candy and all other gummis must bow to them and submit to their gummi masters. Thank you, Wuntnor! Next up we have a sweet little hamster card from jadedhula containing happy holiday wishes. You have lovely handwriting, and I'm incredibly jealous. The card's adorable. Thank you, jadedhula! And then there's Dangereuse and Count Drunkula with a classic Santa card, which had a beautifully rendered seven-point Star of David inside. Also contained within is a neato card that evidently came with a laptop bag (Jump the Queue? Silly Aussies - it's called a line!), a page of zen poetry, and what appears to be home-printed Hello Kitty tattoos (not pictured, because I didn't find them until after I took the photo). Thank you, Dangereuse and Count Drunkula! After that we have a fun card from Pillory Soft that managed to excite and disappoint me all at the same time. I was sad that it didn't come with wine, but very happy that you enjoyed it yourself. The little drunken SASSmas guy is awesome (someone make it into a thing!) . Pony coloring pages, WoW cards, Christmas stickers and tattoos! I'm going to be tattooed all up. So much fun! Thank you, Pillory Soft!  But wait! There's more!  A wonderful happy snowman card from Mysa! Mysa, I love me some happy snowmen, and that's about the happiest I've seen in a while. So cute! Thank you, Mysa! Team Lunch. You sent me  Batman, and therefore you shall ever be in my favor. Then there's the Christmas trivia cards (great minds think alike!), stickers, gigantor paper clip, flowers, and sailboat stencil! Between you, Pillory Soft and Wuntnor I'm going to have a lot to do at my boring office today! Thank you so much, Team Lunch!And finally, a really pretty glittery card all the way from one of my favorite places on Earth, Nova Scotia, from Slightly Used Cake (god, I love that name), Cthulhuite and Socks the Dog. I spent two weeks in Nova Scotia and PEI right after college, and loved it there. Can't wait to go back! I demand photos of said dog! You can't mention a pet and not provide! Thank you, Slightly Used Cake, Cthulhuite and Socks the Dog! I also got my first Valentine! Thank you, 13Pandora13. Hermione.  PS, those Razzles are awesome. Where in the world do you find them? I love bizarre candy, and that one's new to me. Thanks for the goon love, 13Pandora13!That's it for now. I can't wait to start working on my Valentines. Gonna explode, I think.

I mean, I will be sitting in my parents' garage alone on Valentines Day, but I've done so for the last 6 years and I'm at peace with it.) Well, you're getting one from me, then.

Since I only have enough dandruff for approximately ten cards, I'ma set the limit there.

Does she like her toy? Edit: This does not mean I'll only be sending ten cards total. I'm going to try to get something out to everyone on the list, but it'll only be mildly inappropriate instead of oh-gently caress-someone-call-the-cops.

hyperhazard posted:I see these for sale on Craigslist constantly, but I'm ashamed to admit that I have no idea what they are. Even after following the link and reading the description, I still have no clue. What do they do, exactly? Simply put, it's a totally badass machine that creates die-cut paper shapes, or makes negative cuts in larger pieces of paper. The one I got is the Cricut Expressions 2, so it also cuts fabric for my various sewing projects. Here's a decent example of both methods: http://content.provocraft.com/d/images/projects/cricut/1784.project.l.jpg It came pre-loaded with 800 shapes that I can mix and match, and additional dies for additional shapes are available for purchase. Plug it in to your computer and the possibilities are endless.
