eve

I know....... and i was thinking last year was early........... just figured i would get it up........ and i used a spare gmail email to make it less complicated this year. Can not guarantee i will always check and reply to email right away. however i should go through it several times a week

lol, ty, fixed

OK, I'm going to host the 2008 :holiday15Secret Santa, card:mail: exchange, cookie:chocochip exchange and ornament :holiday07exchange! If you want in, please E-MAIL ME at [email protected] by Nov. 1st with the following info: * Which of the exchanges you would like to join (can be one or more): - Secret Santa - Ornament Exchange - Card Exchange (maybe include your favorite cookie recipe inside the cards - you don't have to but i think it would be fun) - Cookie Exchange * If you want to be an "elf" (an elf is somebody that will send out a gift if somebody else never receives theirs) * Your likes / dislikes (this is important) * Do you mind home-made:1cook: food (such as cookies)? Yes or No - I ask this simply because some people love sending/getting this type of stuff, while others will not want to offend anyone but will only throw it away - a waste to both sender and receiver * GottaDeal.com Forum user name * Your Name & Mailing Address * Anything else you want told to your exchange partner... optional and not necessary Please print or write info down that I send about your partner - that way you have it if something happens and you can't get online for awhile RULES: 1. Ornament Exchange - there's a MINIMUM of :gd_dollar5 before shipping and extras. If you choose to spend more, please don't be disappointed if your partner doesn't. 2. Secret Santa - there's a MINIMUM of :gd_dollar10 before shipping and extras. If you choose to spend more, please don't be disappointed if your partner doesn't. 3. Delivery confirmation is a MUST. Please E-MAIL ME at [email protected] with the DC tracking # ASAP after you send your package. 4. Please, no junk. Everything must be new and unused. 6. The last day to ship is Saturday, December 6th (if you cannot ship by this date you must ship priority ASAP as i have given plenty of time.) 7. You CAN join one, two, three or all four of the exchanges - just let me know in your e-mail. 8. This is not a GottaDeal.com sanctioned event, so participate at your own risk. The site and it's owner are not responsible if you get ripped off. 9. Card Exchange - mail any time you want, but please take into account the holiday mail delivery times. FYI- you send a card to everyone on the list so if 50 people join you send cards to ALL of them, that example of 50 people would cost $21 in stamps 10. Cookie Exchange - can be store-bought or homemade. I think 4 cookies to everyone sounds good, should i change this? I don't want newbies to be upset, but it sucks:bigcry: not receiving your gift as well - sorry but it's true. So you must have been a forum member at least since May 2008 with some previous posting history, and ideally if you haven't posted much on here, you would have some kind of positive feedback somewhere, such as eBay. This is a general rule, not set in stone. I make the decisions one by one, and if you failed a past exchange on the forum, don't bother as I will kick you out. If for whatever reason I don't let you join, please remember my decision sticks so don't bother crying after. So far we've got: Secret Santa eve... ashemgra... hockeyfanamo... drmy91... tlklcox...

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay 2 soon.................... i am not at all in the black friday mood....... as of right now i do not think i will be going..... it is that bad..... we will see how long it takes to change my mind,lol

:cheesy:someone else is more then welcome to step up and do Valentine's;) and St.pat day

that is an idea but you are not actually allowed to, you *might be able to get away with it, but it will sure be a ymmv

yes thats a great idea.......... may not be holiday........ but what about picking up a book of stamps now or in march and another book in july?that way it doesn't cost as much at once

thanks Brad;) edited to add,.................. list is fixed......... let me know if you see something else thats not right, i only skimmed it

lol 2 funny sorry guys for all the mistakes in the reveal post, i was trying to copy from my list but well there was alot:p and i was tired and there was alot:p lol, i should not have done it late at night

lol,im sorry, it'll stay a secret a bit longer i guess i'll check it as soon as i can

oh i bet....... what a wonderful gift

Ann129 and eve'smom have been both casual watchers here for almost as long as i've been a member,lol, they wanted in on the fun so i said they had to actually join, i knew they would hold up their end so i didn't think anyone would mind;) it's really cute my mom really has no idea how to post or pm or anything but she has had so much fun learning and talking with everyone. I told her she has to start going to the lounge now, she'll love it. i'll have to look at the list when i go home later this week, sorry:no: i was tired and in a hurry when i wrote it out the other night.feel free to post who you had if you want.

link i just opened my box my elf, alimfp, sent me this cool essential burner, it came with lavender oil and candle so im all set for a relaxing evening one of these nights;) i told her she didn't have to get me anything, and this is really neat thanks;):gdhug1: i hope everyone is having a Merry Christmas,Happy Holiday

ok so almost everyone should have all their stuff...... please pm me if you don't or have questions. it's close enough here is the list i'm tired and going to bed, 'night all,

lol

:sidesplit:sidesplit:sidesplit:sidesplit

lol:sidesplit i know......... it's killing me.......... it's only inches away from my leg....... just sitting there:holiday02;) i guess if i was told to open it i could,lol

i know, im tracking one also waiting for "delivered";)

so ups guy just came............... got my SoyaPower Soymilk Maker;) i only ordered it on the 19th was not going to get it till 27th but since it was not a gift, date did not matter,lol but here it sits......... now i get to play with it some:D also got a package from Amazon:holiday08........... from a special not-secret elf:holiday10 i'm grinning so wide as i open it. but it's gift wrapped:confused: it's pretty green box, my fav. color is green;) but i told my self anything that comes in the mail is free to open, but if it comes gift wrapped it's off limits till 25th......... so here i sit staring at my box,lol trying to be good

me 2

Merry Christmas, Everyone!!!!!!!!!

no, no elf;) just a very late shipper I hope everyone's holiday is going good and not to stressful

awwwwwww. Manda..... that's great;) your post almost made me cry;) i'd love to see the pic's also.and you are right, everyone here is great but those that choose to be elf are very special and try hard to make someone else happy edited to add............... my mom is driving me crazy:cheesy: almost every single day she trys to find out who gave her her stuff. and she is sneaky.... we will be talking on the phone and she will slip in "and who did you say gave me my cup?" or if we are talking about the site or something someone posted she will slip in "and that was the person to give me the shell heart?" and she knows darn well it most likely is not, just trying to catch me off guard in to telling. I always know what she is trying and tell her she has to wait till i post it like everyone else:p she is such a child,lol just thought i'd share that

if he never sees them,i don't see why he has to know anything, they will not know the diffrence.............. i like the "Movie Money" idea..... and splitting the money 3 ways for gifts..........

in a few days i'll be posting who sent to who there were 4 in the S.S 4 in the ornament but i had time to find wonderful elf's for most
