First some rules:
1. Signups open until October 8th (That's the Sunday of that weekend)
2. You must follow ALL deadlines once the 8th 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. (questionnaire in the next message)
4. October 9th - 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 7th (I'm making that a few days sooner so we're not flustered about the mail) 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 16th (That's a Saturday) we will all open them whenever we wake up and want to open them. Take photos and post them in this thread.
8. PLEASE TRY TO INCLUDE 1 HANDMADE ITEM IN YOUR BOX - this year... let's not get too stressed about the handmade item... it can be a set of embellishments that you've made - like tags or stamped/colored diecuts, etc. But it will still be nice to know our secret person made something for us.

Hi again.... hopefully some more folks will sign up this weekend...
