Annual PAO Holiday Secret Sister Names are Swapped

Post by nchoney »

I started thinking about this last night and it's just about the same day we started planning for this last year! So... time to sign up for the Secret Sister Swap.

First some rules:
1. Signups open until NOV 1st (That's the Sunday of that weekend)
2. You must follow ALL deadlines once the 1st comes and goes. You may pull out before BUT not after.
3. To sign up fill out the questionnaire and send to me. Do not post answers on the thread.
4. Nov 2nd - I will forward you your secret sister's name and answers. I can act as a go between should you need clarification or need to ask further questions. (feel free to add teasers as you fill your box though)
**I'll be participating, too.... I'll have Mike pull the names but I'll wind up knowing who has me... if that would make you crazy, just IM me and let me know and I'll make sure you get someone else's name**

You can also IM me and let me know if you don't want to accidentally get the same person you had last year or the year before. I forgot to keep those names, so please let me know and we'll re-draw so you can get someone you haven't gifted before.

5. PACKAGES MUST BE MAILED BY DECEMBER 10 keep it to a medium flat rate or smaller box (I'm not attaching monetary value this year, you always ignore that part anyway) <-- I left that line in there, too... cuz I can't follow a rule like that!
6. You must let me know when you mail your package.
7. DO NOT OPEN your package when you get it. Dec 19th (That's a Saturday) we will all open them together. (oh yay... that's also my birthday)
8. YOU MUST INCLUDE 1 HANDMADE ITEM IN YOUR BOX this can be anything you want to make but try to tailor it to the person you are sending to

Participants:

Debi Daugherty
Pam Cook
Bobbie Brown - aka southernpeach35
Debbie Barnhill
Rachelle Emigh aka azemigh
Elizabeth
Farley
Cheryl Miller
Gwen
Christy

:bump:

Wanted to bump this up again so everyone will take a peek and decide if they'd like to sign up for the Secret Sister swap this year. It's one of the highlights of my holiday season, so I'm hoping more will join in. I think we had about a dozen last year.

If you put the sign up date in the title it might give people a kick in the pants to sign up. ;)

For those who are on the fence about doing this, the ones that I've participated in have been a blast. I even had the same sister twice! :lol:
