SECRET SANTA SIGN UP HERE - Please sign up here @ e-mail me info

lisar wrote: I need a volunteer to help. That way I dont know who my secret santa will be.

HOW IT WORKS

You sign up here in this thread to give and recieve a gift from another PC member. You will know the person that you are buying the gift for, but will not know who has you until it arrives. You will send me your address's in an email (NOTE..this address will be kept private between you, me and the person I chose to help me this year....

DEADLINES

Sign up by.....NOVEMBER 23rd
Gifts are to be sent by .....DECEMBER 7th.....I know its 2 weeks but I want to make sure everyone gets thier gifts on time.

RULES

1. MUST have 2000 posts in order to participate. If you have the points by the deadline then you may sign up, but PLEASE do not sign up before then. Also..Please do not start rapid posting to reach 2000 just to sign up. That becomes very obvious and if I get too many pm's with people that are unsure of you....I can't let you participate. Remember..there is always next year.

2. NOTE...if you sign up...some people will recieve the names of members in Canada and other countries.

3. The spending Limit is 20-25 dollars.....This was decided last year and worked out well..so I don't want to change whats broken.

4. If you sign up and then a financial change occurs and you need to back out.....Just try to pm me before the deadline....It will be between you and me and it will be kept private. Things happen.

5. Same thing apply's for after you get the name of the person you are suppose to buy for. Im a very understanding person and things happen. If you let me know in time, I can either ask for volunteer's to send a gift...another member to participate or send them something myself....IF you don't tell me in time...There is no excuse for why you didn't send a gift and you won't be able to participate the following year.

6. IF you do not recieve a gift...Please let me know as soon as possible so I can correct the problem.

7. Please do not balk at the person you recieve. You may not like them, but maybe the person that got you feels the same way...keep that in mind. This might just be a chance to get to know them better. The spirit of Christmas is giving regardless of wether you like them or not.

8. Please sign up in this thread.....and list some of the things you like, collect...etc. This will help your secret santa buy for you...and hopefully get you something that reflects upon you. They might not get what you posted, but it might give them more insight on you.

9. NOTE TO PARTICIPANTS FROM LAST YEAR......Please e-mail me your addres at lisa099@bellsouth.net

10..PLEASE email me your address's.....Don't send them to my pm box because it gets full to fast rolleyes.gif My email is lisa099@bellsouth.net

11. Also....Sometimes the person you get might change...Hopefully not, but it happened a bit last year with people dropping out. Also..PLEASE pm me if you got the same person as last year.

Thanks...if I forgot anything..Please let me know.

MyBrownEyedBoy replied: I'm in. This has always been fun.

I love Willow Tree figurines. I collect the angels, but don't have too many of them so there's little likelihood of duplicating one.
I am into scrapbooking and love little boy papers and stickers and stuff.
candles are good, but not too fruity. I prefer clean scents and florals.

boyohboyohboy replied: count me in! I didnt have enough posts last year!


I love the willow tree figurines, I have a "family set" havent added another little boy yet to represent andrew in our family..

My3LilMonkeys replied: I'm in! And Lisa, I'll be glad to help if no one else has volunteered yet.

I'll have to think about my list before I post it.

Kirstenmumof3 replied: I'm in! I love doing this. I've gotten some really special gifts and I hope the people I've sent to feel the same way.

I like different kinds of tea, always willing to try something new. I love photoframes. I'm just getting into scrapbooking and I also have started to make jewelry. I can't think of anything else right now.

Thanks for heading this up this year!

MyBrownEyedBoy replied:
I know I loved the scrapbooking stuff you sent 2 years ago. Logan's Christmas pages are fantastic.

amymom replied: I am in. Lisa thanks for taking this on. It is always fun.

I enjoy tea, chocolate and listen to country music. I like to read but find no time. There is not much that I don't like. I enjoy cooking, baking and anything to do with that.
I really love surprises so anything at all will be great.

sparkys2boys replied: Im in!! I love candles, books, bath stuff. Im not hard to please at all. Sounds soooo fun!!

grapfruit replied: Yeah! I have enough posts! (I'm actually shocked)


Ok, I'm in (if you haven't guessed)

and I like:

SCRAPBOOKING STUFF! Especially punches and things of that nature. Embellishments are great!

Candles are good (nothing super strong) I really don't like cinnanmin, but like apple or something like that is good

A Candle warmer would be nice

I love a good book (just about anything)

Don't like collectables, I'm a minimalist!

Eek! I'm excited!

lisar replied:
Okay according to what they done for me last year was

I didnt have 2000 post but I had been a member for 2 years so they let me do it anyways. So basically you can sign up if:
