Final count - Make 22 cards (participants from last round can make only 14)This is a companion piece to the altered rolodex card swap and is completely optional. Due date is the same as the rolodex swap - October 1.

There are no design requirements for this one - it can be as simple or as elaborate as you would like. You will be making cards with your own information on them to go in a rolodex. They can be either the rolodex cards
(2 1/4"x4") or a regular business card size.

They should contain the following information:
Your DIS name
Your real name
Address
Email address
Birthday
Optional - phone number (or space for one to be added)

Once the signups are closed you will have a final number of how many you need to make. **If there is anyone who does not wish their personal address to go to another participant, they may PM me and I will sort accordingly.

Mailing instructions: If you are also in the rolodex swap, include them in the same package. If you are only in this one, mail however you wish (Priority mail is not required) and include sufficient return postage.

I have them = Blue

I'd also like this one too! :thumbsup2
 
Should I do this? What did you all do last time?

Yes. As a frequent hostess, you should definitely do this. It is very helpful to have the addresses at your fingertips.

The cards don't have to be fancy. Some people used ribbon and such but most people just used cardstock and printed their info right on there. Last time we used our avatars (we can do that this time also if people would like) so that added a bit of clipart to the side of the card. They are small and it's a lot of information so there's not a lot of room to embellish anyway.

Okay -- if I run out of time, DH can do this for me. He owes me since he is leaving me with the kids for 1 month!
 
I'll do this one this time as well. I'm still kicking myself for not participating last time.

Can I just use card blanks from my rolodex set and add a label with the info? Is that too plain?
 
I'm in! I always lose my paper list just when someone else is hogging the PC:headache: Does anyone have a word template (or similar) so we can print things out neatly - my writing is atrocious, and if I get operated on I won't be able to write anyway:sad2:
 
I'd like to be in, too. ;) Thanks!

Question: Say that I already have one from AWM, can I just not make one for her, since mine (which I think she has) will be exactly the same? Or would you rather that I made them anyway? Does that make sense?? I spent the day at a museum, so I'm a little befuddled. :)

Yeah, I was thinking someone would ask me that. It should be fine do that. Let's see where we stand when the signups close. If we can make a list of who already has the ones from last year, those people would have to make a fewer number. I'll just have to pay a little more attention when swapping it out, but that shouldn't be a problem.
