simleyj Your are suppose to send your address to Tavias Charms. Then the next person to join will send you their address. It is a bit confusing because on the same thread people are thanking each other for the cards they have gotten which is really nice. Hope this helps.

maxiesmom 11-17-2008 06:46 PM

Ok, I'd like to play too but am completely confused my this thread although I tried not to be. I am assuming someone will PM me with an address or for my address? Or to just straighten me out? Guess it's all the extra postings that has some of us confused!
thank you!!
Ok, I sent my address to smileyj, hope I did right!

princessp1971 11-17-2008 07:13 PM

Ok sending my address to Kathy (maxiesmom) Next person send yours to me!
I received several cards to day and will get them all on my gallery tomorow! Thanks to everyone who sent me a card they are all great! This is fun!

Im not in for another round - just explaining to smileyj.

You send your addy to muzbys mom or tavis (I can't tell if muzby is playing again or just commenting) and whoever posts under you (now under me) will send you their address. As of right now, you don't have to send a card to anyone until someone posts next.

Muzby are you playing again or just commenting? Thanks!

I hope this makes sense. I think you did it right!

Enjoy!!

biblesistersmom 11-17-2008 07:28 PM

Wow! In the time I typed that last message, three people got their posts in ahead of me!

You are all on the right track now - thanks to princessp and blusky for straightening things out!

biblesistersmom 11-17-2008 07:29 PM

By the way, I'm still not playing right now, so next person send your addy to princessp.
Thanks!

I'm not taking a turn at this moment, but I wanted to post a message for biblesistersmom (Jen).

It seems as though several of the posters are becoming confused with trying to figure out whose turn it is. I'm just suggesting that maybe you could ask everyone to put their 'Receive a card, send a card' posts in red (or a different color) so that maybe we won't get confused amongst our chatter and thanks you posts. I did this in post # 181 (in case you wanted to check it out).

I know this isn't my thread and please understand that I'm not trying to make up rules- I'm just trying to offer a suggestion. Maybe you or someone else might have a better idea.

postcardgirl 11-18-2008 05:12 AM

I've been using PM's to notify senders that I've received their cards - that keeps it out of the thread, but the person knows I've received!

Next person sends their addy to Princessp1971!

muzbysmom 11-18-2008 05:18 AM

If I'm playing I will say "I'll PM So and so... and who wants my card...". To the person who suggested changing the color of your post when you thank you or whatever....I did ask how do you do that and never got a reply. I clearly say I'm thanking someone when I'm thanking and I say I'm playing when I'm playing. I always go into quick reply and I don't see a way of changing anything! Should I be going into "Go Advanced"?

When I'm getting confused is not whether or not someone is playing - it's whether or not I've done what I'm supposed to do! I need to keep a better record of who I've sent to and who I should receive from! What I've been doing is when I get a PM from someone for a card I just address and envelope and send it - I need to list to be sure I get a thank you so I know that person got their card and it wasn't lost in the mail. I do know I sent out two cards yesterday so I should have two coming and possibly a third but I'm not keeping a good record so I'm not sure.

I do think this is fun and want to continue with it but again, If I want to send a card I'll clearly state that and PM the poster before me who indicates they want to play!

Have a great day, everyone! Think I'll get more cards made today so I can keep on playing but don't want to post until I have them ready to go!

gv913 11-18-2008 06:47 AM

Patty,
This is a great idea! You are absolutely right about the confusion. Of course, nobody wants to send more cards and get less! Let's all take Patty's suggestion and put your "thanks" in red - or just send a PM to the person you want to thank. If you're not playing again, please make it clear.

Thanks for the great suggestion (and I guess this should be in RED!):p

For those of you who need to know how to change the color of your post, you need to click advanced instead of quick reply or quote someone else like I just did. At the top of the message box, there is a row that shows fonts, sizes and then a black letter A. Click on the arrow next to it to change the color of the words you are typing. I hope this helps and I hope I did it right!

biblesistersmom 11-18-2008 07:00 AM

Next person send your addy to gv913.

biblesistersmom 11-18-2008 07:10 AM

What the heck, I'll play again. I'm PMing my addy to gv. Next person to post, send my your addy. Have a great day!

gv913 11-18-2008 07:20 AM

Biblesistersmom - your card is on the way...
 
Hope you like it...
Thanks for playing!

muzbysmom 11-18-2008 07:21 AM

Red??????????
 
I have a red line under the A but my typing is black. Guess I'll send this and see what happens.

Guess it's too late to teach and OLD DOG new tricks! Sent and it's black. Guess I won't post anymore unless I want to send/receive cards.

blusky 11-18-2008 07:36 AM

Giving color a try. lets see how this works

muzbysmom 11-18-2008 07:45 AM

I'll try again

Here goes nothing. Looks black to me although "COLOR="Red"" "Color" has come up.

MariLynn 11-18-2008 07:56 AM

Did you try to change the color and then type or did you type and then use your mouse to highlight and then click the color change?

muzbysmom 11-18-2008 08:22 AM

I changed the color and then typed the first time...I also did try highlighting text. This shouldn't be so hard! I'm thinking that I just won't post any thank you's - just when I want to send and receive - pm acknowledgements/thank you's.

blusky 11-18-2008 08:23 AM

Ok Ladies. muzbysmom I will not let you quit. You encourged me to join a swap and Now I just taught myself how to write in color. so here are the directions click on the Big A and change color then type message in between the bracket where your cursor is flashing. Then if you hit preview you will see if you did it right before sending message. Give it a try ladies don't stop leaving thank you messages it brightens everyones day especial the person you are thanking

muzbysmom 11-18-2008 09:09 AM

I'm not quitting....just not posting until I'm ready to send a card. Just trying to figure out who posted last for a card! Think it's gv913. I'll PM her and send to whomever posts next to play. Who'd like my card!!!!!!!!!!!! If there's a card on my gallery that you like, let me know and I can try to recreate it for you!

gv913 11-18-2008 09:33 AM

muzby'smom - I sent you a card anyway
 
I made the same mistake you did when I first posted, but I'll send you a card anyway.
You should ask Blusky for a card to so you get a couple of samples from "East Coasters"

muzbysmom 11-18-2008 10:01 AM

Ok, I'm just going to send a card to whomever I get a card from in the next week or so....my memory is good, it's just short! It's a bummer to be getting older!!!!!!!!!! No one has actually posted for my card yet! What are you waiting for...you know you want to play!

MariLynn 11-18-2008 10:04 AM

I'll play again. I am sending a pm to muzbysmom.

biblesistersmom 11-18-2008 10:27 AM

Somehow I got two PMs right in a row! I got one from Lynn in MN and Vivian in PA. I'm not sure who you are based on your user name, but only one of you should have PMed me. CAn anyone figure it out?

Should we just say that we should only post if we want to play?

Somebody help!

fordgrl 11-18-2008 10:32 AM

Thought I would try this swapping "thing". :) I THINK I should PM MariLynn with my addy, yes??? I think the replies are coming too quick in some cases.... ;)
