Hi there everyone,
Last year I participated in the Secret Santa gift exchange & was wondering if they will be doing it again this year. It was so much fun. I really enjoyed it. :D

Thanks,
Sulabug

Barb

mrsj82 10-03-2008 04:26 PM

So do we just want to organize one ourselves?

Jim's Gem 10-03-2008 04:45 PM

I think I would be game as well. Oh, and Mrsj82, you signed up on my birthday. Welcome!!!

If this gets going, include me! :D

Connie1948 10-04-2008 06:24 AM

I'm in. Did it last year and received some nice fabric and a little something extra....an embroidered 14" square of a hummingbird and flowers....it is lovely and will soon be a pillow.

sewjoyce 10-04-2008 07:44 AM

Would love to do this -- count me in if it gets started :!:

PM luvmy2bts. I don't know if she's in charge but a few weeks ago for the secret santa signups. Hope this helps.

SulaBug 10-04-2008 01:56 PM

Hi There,
Last year (Luvmy2bts) sent me an email, so I could sign up. Then I received my exchange person's name & address from (mimisharon). I sure hope they do it again this year, it was so much fun. I hope this helps you out.

Cheryl :lol:

Secret Santa Sounds like fun I would love to do one.

mrsj82 10-04-2008 03:26 PM

Well if no one else would like to take point, I would volunteer. If everyone is alright with that, I'll head up the secret santa exchange this year. Any objections? I'd love to be in charge of this, it sounds like so much fun!

Susan in Texas 10-04-2008 04:15 PM

This sounds like loads of fun. Let me know how it works please. Thanks.

Chele 10-04-2008 04:19 PM

I think Shadow Dancer is heading up Secret Santa this year. Or maybe Ryan Seacrest? He gets involved in everything else! LOL!

mrsj82 10-04-2008 04:20 PM

haha, okay well let me know when/where/how to participate, or if you need a leader, I'll be happy to do it. (I crave power!!! LOL JK)

Shadow Dancer 10-04-2008 06:05 PM

If you pretty ladies would like to send me your information by PM, I will get you all matched up and let you know how it works and what you have to send.

I'm going to set a deadline for signups though, we would like all Secret Santa parcels mailed out the first week of November. We decided to do it earlier to beat the Christmas mail rush because we have international members who are in the S.S. So if anyone wants to join in, I will be accepting newcomers till the third week of October.

Anyone wanting to join in, please send me a PM with your name, address and your preferences for the 5 fat quarters, and the gift. eg: sewing notions, or if you collect items, like angels, faeries, etc.

Looking forward to hearing from you. :)

S.D.

CissyQuilts 10-04-2008 09:42 PM

I will pm you shadow. This sounds like fun!

SazuBMidlands 10-05-2008 03:23 AM

Sounds like fun. What does it include though - how big a gift should be sent? Are there any other rules, or things a first timer should know?

MAXIES2 10-05-2008 03:25 AM

I would like to know too, as this would be the first Secret Santa for me.

Craftybug 10-05-2008 04:16 AM

Same here, more info please :D

Shadow Dancer 10-05-2008 05:08 AM

Good Morning Ladies,

For Secret Santa, we decided to keep it the same as last year, 5 fat quarters and a small gift with a 20.00 limit on it. :)

Have a great day :)

S.D.

Lynne 10-05-2008 06:05 AM

sharon b 10-05-2008 05:23 PM

I see two listing for the Secret Santa on the board. Are they both the same? The other one is under -Our Challenge Block Swap /Hello !!!!! Note from Bebe 10/5 pg 36 Secret Santa info. I am confused. (Although my sons say that is normal for me anymore..LOL..)

mrsj82 10-05-2008 05:25 PM

I share that sentiment...there's this thread and another one for secret santa...are we doing two different swaps? *Is confuzzled*

Shadow Dancer 10-05-2008 05:52 PM

This one is not the same one. :)

MissTami 10-05-2008 05:59 PM

sorry the computer sent it twice The computer was messing up!

mrsj82 10-05-2008 06:02 PM

So there are two seperate secret santa's going on, correct?

Shadow Dancer 10-05-2008 06:03 PM

Yes mrsj82, this one is the same one that ran last year, and it's grown! :)

mrsj82 10-05-2008 06:05 PM

Awesome! When are the gifts due in by?

Shadow Dancer 10-05-2008 06:07 PM

We planned for them to be mailed the beginning of November so that they all get to their destinations. We will announce a date for a chat when we can all open them and enjoy a chat together. :)

mrsj82 10-05-2008 06:10 PM

I remember you saying that now...the brain cells are fried... :shock: Sorry about that... :?

Shadow Dancer 10-05-2008 06:20 PM

I'm still laughing about that!!!

I am now writing everything down and posting it on my desk. I volunteered for many, MANY things that I have forgotten about and some things that I don't know if I will be able to carry out. But, I won't let anyone down...I WILL PREVAIL!!!

Wow, I wrote a message and put it in and saw a bunch more messages. I better go back and read. I will be back.
