Holiday cards
I’ve not decided what I’ll do with the holiday cards, so feel free to leave your comments/suggestions on teh subject.

Black Cats & Ladders
It’s Friday the 13th and according to superstition we should all avoid them, but not here at Caboodle! To show the world we don’t believe in bad luck, you may all take choice regular cards representing the letters B-L-A-C-K-C-A-T plus a special card with the number 13.
As always the letters only have to be in the file name and 1 card per deck. Please comment on everything you take.

Wish on a Star
Please remember to send in creative wishes. Wishing for decks is possible of course, but I’m much more likely to grand wishes that are fun and creative than wishes for decks to be made.

One more day
If you haven’t finished the Christmas Event yet, you have one more day to do it. I’m taking the links down tomorrow.

Holiday cards
I’ve been wondering what to do with the holiday cards. I gave up making them last year when Caboodle went in hiatus and never went back to it. How would you all feel if we just discontinued the deck and you can all trade the cards you have? It would be great if you could leave a comment with your opinion.

Hey everyone!
I hope you all had a good and safe New Year’s Eve and I wish you all the best for 2012.
To celebrate the beginning of another year you can all take regular cards of choice representing the letters H-A-P-P-Y-N-E-W-Y-E-A-R.
As usual only one card per deck and please comment on what you take.

PS Please remember that the Christmas Event closes in one week.

Sorry, guys, I’m really not feeling my best yet.

I have updated the games (Musical Matters), but that’s about all I felt like doing.
I’ll start answering emails as soon as I feel better and I promise that next week I’ll give you a proper update again.

Because I feel horrible for letting you down, you can take all the cards from the top row of the Randomizer.

Sorry guys,

I’m not feeling my best today. I think my flu has returned.
I’m gonna take some rest today and will do the update tomorrow.
