Holy Cow girl! That is A TON of cards. You must be the friendliest person I've ever heard of. I sent out about 60, and my husband sent out another 25 to coworkers and clients. I thought that was a ton. You won't be happy when stamps go up will you?

180?? And dostamping - 300?????? I don't think I've met that many people total in my 23 years on this planet! I made 40 cards this year and I'm keeping my list to that because I don't want to make anymore! I just send to immediate family, closest friends, and some of my co-workers.
I stamped and mailed about 65 cards. That was all I could do, also.
I always go through my list of addresses and family and see who sent a card back. After a couple of years, not getting a card back means you are cut from the list. I know it sounds mean but - man - 65 cards is just enough!
So far I've made up 80 and will be mailing them out tomorrow. But with my husband on staff at our church I'm sure they'll be more that I have to do. I'm hoping tomorrow evening I'll be able to get some more made up and ready to so I'm not scrambling at the last minute. But I probably will. This is the most I've ever sent out.

I made and am in the process of sending off 150 cards. I usually start this project in July and add the family photo and letter in the month of December. My DH has a HUGE family and we have lots of friends from where we grew up.
I have sent as many as 300 but that was when we lived far away from family...and my husband is a pastor and we had lived in different areas so there were so many I wanted to send cards to...but the postage will kill you...so I am sending 60.
WOW 180!! Insane!
I sent out 80 that I made myself. It was fun to make them for a while, but then became a chore, but was fun again when I was writing messages in them to everyone! I'll be doing it again in a heartbeat!

I sent out 168 cards this year. My family thought I was crazy, but people love getting them so much that it's hard to NOT send them out to everyone I know.
After family, friends, customers, MOPS,my husbands co workers and teachers I will be making over 200 cards. And let me say that the teachers and Moppets cards are actually snowman soup and I had to make another 45 reindeer feed pouches. Am I Shannon the Super Stamper or what!!! I'm pooped... now I might sleep through the rest of the holidays!!!
yikes! are you guys making all those? that is insane!!! i get crazy after 60-80, which is what i usually send out. i also try to design something simple every year, but it never seems to be simple after the first 20! if i was just sending out one of those photo pictures - maybe. but hand stamping real cards takes me so long, i can't handle more than 80. just those probably take me 20 hours of work. how long do you people spend making them? maybe i am just a really slow stamper... :oops: :lol:
speaking of slow - mine are going to be new years cards this year, i think, as i am still no where near finishing them...
