I'm only taking names for till Nov. 1st so i can get everyone matched up.

I don't want newbies to be upset.. but it sucks not receiving your gift as well, sorry but it's true. so i would ask you have been a member since May and you have positive feedack, like eBay. This is a general rule, not set in stone.

So do we PM you?

I was just copying her post from 2006 but I will PM somebody and ask I wouldn't mind doing it.

thanks

:2wiggle: Oh cool!

If you need any help, let me know. :)

Oh goody! I hadn't been a member long enough last year. I want in too! :)

I don't know about this, but I would be interested in the card exchange, if that happens again. :)

I am waiting to hear back but I would assume that it would be OK since there was one last year. I will start a new post if it is a go... Thanks

I can't wait for SS and the ornament exchange.

I received a beautiful hand blown ornament last year. I opened the satin lined container to pull out the ornament... had it hanging on the tip of my finger in front of the tree ... and plop. It fell off of my finger, hit the lever to the recliner and broke. :cry2:

No glass ornaments for me this year. lol

I love it. Count me in. Awaiting more information so I can get started on finding that perfect gift for my SS.

I would love to do this. I must have missed this post last year. Count me in. Nice Avatar Christy! haha!

Oh Oh Oh I would LOVE to be included this year. Since I will be the one doing Christmas with DH overseas (again). I think it would be GREAT to get a surprise gift!!

Not to mention I adore finding the perfect gift for someone!

Where is Eve, btw? I haven't seen her post in a loooong time.

I'm in!

Yeah I looked and she was on around easter but that was the last post that I see....I don't want to step on anyones toes here....So I PMed a Mod and I will see what he has to say I haven't heard anything back yet.

We are going to wait a little longer to see if eve comes back this year to run it once again as she's done a great job the past few years. If she doesn't come back this year, then DramaQueenLucy can fill in this year. It usually doesn't start for another month anyway, so please just be patient. Thanks.

I have to agree with you!! It was 92 degrees yesterday and I am thinking of Black Friday and Christmas.....:sidesplit

It's so cool - I have been wondering this for weeks! It was SUCH FUN last year!

Sounds like fun, I would love to be included.

count me in! I wasn't a member long enough last year to be included and am excited about it this year

I technically wasnt a member long enough either droolbug bug, I pretty much begged Eve to let me-it was a lot of fun and am so looking forward to this yrs~

this sounds like fun. i wouldn't mind being in it, since i'm the one buying and not getting it would be a nice treat. i'm not on ebay hope that won't be a problem

LMAO.. Sorry, I just thought that was funny.

yeah, that's coming from the guy that's already opened the holiday boards and who has made his fame by getting the ads out before anyone ever dreamed of!

Not that we mind at all!! (just kind of funny) :D

:gdyes: :gdcool: :gdsign1:


Oh yeah...I'm in!

lisamag you have been a member since 2005 I doubt you will have any probs joining in this yr! Eve set those stipulations last yr b/c of the fact some people say they want to participate then something happens and they dont follow through-plus it was risk taking on us newbies not knowing if we would follow through- did you not realize if you sign up for any of the 3 you do get something in return?
It really is a lot of fun-I was a noob last yr so I got a noob but it was fun searching/reading her posts to try and find things she really liked and making sure i picked out a great ss gift- my ss last yr sent me a lovely bubble/bath salt set
I cant wait till this starts up again!

i want in too!!!!!:gdsign1:

im in too, was in the past two years. . !

I didn"t do it last year but would like to this year

Sounds like fun, I would like to be in!!!:)

I am in again as well. Also would not mind being an elf too ... I had a great elf in Bayhaysay last year and would like the oppurtunity to do the same! Well I guess that is not the way it should be put. If I am needed to be one I would be glad to help ;) but of course I hope no elves are needed.

I want in too, please!

i want in too. please!!!!!!!

I can't wait, I would love to be included.

Count me in too!:)

I hope I don't miss it when they start taking signups!!

Hey Eve glad your back-you dont know this BUT you are the reason i continued to hang around at GD! You were so nice last yr to let me being so new, join in on the SS exchange! So it's good to see your lil butterfly back!

I would love to join in on the secret santa and ornament exchange this year. That is so exciting I love these kinds of things. :D

Pick me! Pick Me! I wanna play! lol

This sounds like loads of fun. I think I'll get my feet wet this year and jump in. It's always fun to receive things in the mail, but it's even better when you know you made someone smile.

I can't wait to join in on the fun this year..


PS Pastasalad my Christmas cards are going to be arriving at your place any day now..:)

This sounds like soo much fun!!!!-

Count me in for this year too! Last year I ended up with an extra gift (and a very nice one at that) because it was thought I didn't receive one when it was just a case of forgetting to e-mail the DC, and since then I've been thinking of how I could return that kind gesture this year. Suggestions will gladly be accepted :)

I'd love to hop on board but am still a newbie perhaps next year!

What a beautiful Basset Hound you have!!!:)

How do we find out our "grade":confused:

I would like to do the card exchange. :)

How do we find out our "grade":confused:

Grade???? Will there be a test? Yikes I am soooo not ready for a test :D
Will there be a curve? Also, does the person giving the test like ummmm, cash? candy? :cheesy:

what if you don't test well-? I never get a good grade... do we have a cheat sheet?? I get so nervous when I test!!!

I'd like to do the ornament exchange. That was always fun at one of my previous jobs! I'm somewhere new this year and have no clue what things are done...
