I'm blaming GA for my main account problems. 
If they don't contact me fairly soon and let me know the reason for the issue and if it can be resolved, I may not be playing much longer. I don't have the heart to start all over again.

Thanks for the hug. I needed that. <gropes blindly>

Well, looks like I need to go to the Post Office for some more stamps. Turns out the 'Permanent' stamps are really only suitable to be used within Canada, so I have no idea when the cards headed out of country are going to make it into the mail. Fortunately, if you are part of the Canadian Contingent, they're going in the mail later this week.

Wife called this morning to complain to me about the total cost of this project (she was mailing them out today).

Night before last we signed/personalized cards and last night we filled envelopes and had our daughter "sign" her handiwork.
We even added a few extras for folks we knew.

Took me a while, but created a personalized photo Christmas Card that will be printed up there in the Northern Hemisphere and sent out to you folks.
Bless the modern wonders of the interweb. 
Now that is a great idea. Care to share the service that you used?

You can use Hallmark, but I went to Mr. Greeting Card and used the Create Photo Card option.
Took a while to get used to the resizing tool for text and photos (it's a click and drag affair), but I had no problems uploading images and adding a custom message.
I added three photos and text on three sides (front, left and right).
The only drawback I could see was a limited range of fonts and you have to enter addresses to multiple recipients one at a time (although you can select from various countries - not just US or Canada based).
The creation and addressing process took about an hour (I'm a little slow on the uptake!) and the cost of printing, postage and shipping, and any relevant sales tax is calculated before you confirm payment.
Payment is via PayPal, which from a security point of view is a good thing, as you have 45 days to lodge a complaint if the product isn't delivered or some other problem occurs.
Price may be a factor for some, but considering I'm sending Cards to 25+ folks in the US and Canada from down here in New Zealand I saved a lot on the cost of postage and shipping alone.
I've been using Microsoft greetings 2000 for years. hmm... 10 years I guess. that combined with funphotor.

My domestic mail is going out today, though I have too much stuff to do in the house to get out to the post office for the overseas/canada ones, so they'll be monday.
I was a bit sad to see certain names not on the list, though. 
Please read my FEAR/Portal/HalfLife Fan Fiction!
