The way the names are drawn s pretty low tech. I make a list of everyone who signs up and then make 2 copies and then cut into strips and put into a bowl and the same is done with the other list and then I draw one name from one bowl and that is the sender and the second name is who the sender sends to. So it is very random. I do use a spreadsheet to keep track of who is sending to whom and when it is mailed and when they receive their package so I can keep track of when I need an angel. That is why it is so important I know when you mail and when you receive.

Oh Fergus! Be well sweet puppy. He looks like my Katie and Angel (they were Silkie Terriers) and they lived for 16 years. I miss my girls so much but my DIL is alergic to all dogs...even Silkies and Poodles which are not supposed to cause alergic reactions. My cat doesn't bother her which is strange and she even has a cat. Oh well..I don't miss the vet bills and I can travel.
Hey SP, Your package is scheduled to arrive with your postman on Wednesday. So hope you will like it.

Could be me. I gave up sugar, floor, and dairy for Lent and I do have 4 dogs (just rescued a carin terrier some one abandoned- the joys of living in the country), 16 cats, 2 rabbits, a guinea pig, and a red-eared slider (turtle).

Sent a box out yesterday It's heading north (just about everyone is north) of me. Box was quite heavy by the time I taped it up. Not too much in the way of fabric this time, but lots of fun-stuff. Hope you have a large mailbox. My SP had a great questionnaire with lots of info so I had lots of ideas to choose from. We both have the same pet -- rather uncommon -- but hers has a much "cooler" name than mine does. I was able to send at least two items that she likes. I may have had her before (not surprising since I've been doing this since it started).

The first picture is Jellybean after I first brought him home. He had just had his first bath.
We like to keep his coat short due to the heat here. We let it grow in the winter months. He also loves to wear his sweaters and t-shirts when it is cooler. He gets cold easily.
