2.4 Information - A Surplus of Holiday Cards

Bestest Friend and I are doing a blog project. Each day we will write a blog post on a pre-determined theme. The theme for the fourth day of the month is "Information." 

*****************

I have ordered our holiday cards through Minted for several years in a row now. They are lovely cards with good quality cardstock and I can always find a 20% off coupon towards the end of November. I have nothing but good things to say about the end product I get from this company.

But, boy, their quality control is terrible. One year I did not get envelopes. When I requested envelopes, they sent me twice as many as I had ordered in the first place. One year I ordered an ornament-shaped card and they were supposed to come with ribbons to hang the card on your tree and, as you can probably guess, the ribbons didn't arrive. One year I paid to have the envelopes addressed (boy, where was frugal NGS that year?) and some envelopes were printed twice, so I had to go through and alphabetize all the envelopes to make sure that guy from grad school we only talk to at conferences didn't get multiple cards from us because that would be weird and then throw away the duplicate envelopes.

This year? This year I was sent the same order twice, so I literally have twice as many cards as I purchased and, as you might expect, I order exactly as many as I need. So what am I to do with all these personalized cards? I can't save them until next year because they have the year 2022 on them. I can't just toss them because they're beautiful. But, sadly, I don't have homes for all these cards.

Enter you, my faithful readers. All six of you.

Inspired by San's holiday card roll call, I decided I would send YOU cards. If you want to get a holiday card from me, fill out this form. (No one asked, but this is the first time I've ever used google forms and I'm a tiny bit nervous that I've messed it up. It seems like it should work, so let's give it a try.) I'll take addresses until December 15 and then send them out. I'll send them internationally, too, although I don't guarantee they'll get there by Christmas itself. If only a few of you request cards and give me your address information, then this extra Minted shipment won't be entirely wasted. I have up to 60 cards to send, so the first 60 people (LOL) to sign up get cards.  

Thank you for your time. Here's a photo of Hannah and Zelda for no real reason other than they're cute.

Look at them! Sleepy twins! Zelda in Hannah's bed and Hannah just lets it happen.
