Hi Norma,
It has been my experience that AT LEAST 2 weeks for approvals, sometimes 3 weeks...think of it as "early for next year's season.  I'm concentrating on Valentine's Day ant St. Pat's day at present.

Yes Norma, I agree with Linda.  I have submitted my cards for holidays through Easter for this year and am working on next Christmas now.  Kind of skipped the summer holidays, which I really need to get to... it's just so difficult to do that when your feet are cold and you're getting prepared for the Christmas holidays...      I've been close to a month on approval of some of my cards lately.  So just keep in mind that you want to plan/submit your cards out several months in advance of the holiday.  Once you submit them, forget them and move on, because it's kinda like 'a watched pot...'
 
Cheers!
