I won't be able to afford it this year. I just quit my job and I"m re-starting the job hunt.

Signed up. Can't wait to see what cards come.

I'm in! Do I go the expensive route and order handmade, delicious cards from Etsy or do I go the cheap route and pick up boxes of cards for cheap from work? Decisions, decisions...

I'm going the free route with the massive amounts of cards I got in the box 'o stuff my work gives out every year. I'll just have to make sure I don't pack the box since I'll be getting ready to move when the list comes out.

Delicious is always nice, but keep in mind that 60+ cards is possible. So how expensively delicious youre aiming for is up to you.

True. Someone on ebay is packs of Hallmark cards for $1, plus s&h. Might go with those.

Then there's me... the cost of toner (I love having a color laser), paper, and time
And of course, accepting requests for random upside down cards (but as it is that they are random, requests can't be guaranteed )

I found cute cards at Target last year. They had boxes of 18 cards for about 5 bucks and lots of styles.

I'll have to check my wife's stash of cards...the last couple of years, I put a dent in the hoard.

Handmade are possible, just leave yourself enough time. Last year used the hubby's photography (mt rainier). Using the hubby's photo again. Of course this he is a being a geek and it looks like to it is going to be in 3D. Yes there will be glasses.

I married an insane man.

I am a derp, I didn't check my email and therefore didn't plug in the activation codes. However, 3 times and the codes aren't working for me. Help?

[Pedersen]

ralerin: Every time you click the link to join, and it asks you for an activation code, it has generated a new code and sent it to you before you get to see it ask for it. You must, in a different window/email program, get the code from your email, then come back and insert it into the page asking for the code, without reloading that page.

Every time that page gets reloaded, the old code is rendered useless.

If that's not enough, please find me on CS Chat tomorrow sometime, and I'll try to help from there.

I used to make my own cards using my computer graphics programs/mad skillz and my inkjet printer, but I won't have time this year, so I will be looking for good deals on generic boxed cards. I'll put a little more energy into what I put inside each one.
