FAILURE TO SEND THESE PRIVATE MESSAGES IS REASON ENOUGHTO BE BANNED FROM THE NEXT MONTHS SWAP. PACKAGES NEED TO BE SENT OUT BY November 15th this is a FIRM deadline (NOT A SUGGESTION). IF YOU KNOW THAT YOU CANNOT MAIL BY THAT DATE, PLEASE DO NOT SIGN UP. You can send your package as early as you'd like!

Sign ups will close the 1st of November, and names will be paired on the 1st of November and sent out no later than the 2nd of November. (I will try to have all names out on the 1st.) 2. If your pal does not receive her/his package within a reasonable time (7 days max from mailing deadline for within the same country. Then I will need tracking information, 15 days for between countries. There are exceptions, but I MUST be notified of any delays in sending on your end). Failure to comply may result in the following: This is why it is imperative that you keep the hostess informed on ANY mailing issues. Along with negative feedback, you will not be allowed to participate in future secret pal swaps. It is also possible that other coordinators will not allow you to participate in their swaps. It's all about fun, so please have fun with it. If you have questions, please PM me and I will try to answer as quickly as possible.

I've sign up under the thread that dotcom/Dotty has started and sent both of you my info. This is my birthday present to myself this month!! I'm sooooo in! LOL.
Sincerely, Tricia |
I sent my info to Lori just now. So glad we are able to do a swap this month. Didn't see the other thread.
|
Signed up, waiting for the name.
|
Didn't notice this until tonight- so missed out. Will watch for the next one! Hope you all have a great time!
|
O shoot I missed this one.
|
I also answered to dotcom/dotty and filled out my form and it has already been sent to Lori.
Pat |
Sent mine to you!!!
|
Can you extend this to Nov. 3rd for sign-up?
|
Ooofka! I almost missed this one!
|
Oops missed - - did not see until this morning:(
|
I believe I signed up ..........under the other thread...........I did send my information to Lori...............
|
Well I guess I missed this one had foot surgery and missed due to pain meds.
|
I hope I got in on time. I sent my info yesterday afternoon, but just realised they closed at noon yesterday but the thread wasn't posted until 12:18 pm, which was after sign-ups closed. I have a feeling this is going to be an interesting month, not just this swap, but other things in my life have been strange the past couple of days. Ah, well, keeps me young!
|
Yes, Lori said we can sign up until the third. I will send pm to the others on this who were late seeing this.
|
I signed up this morning as I just got on the computer after Halloween and gone all day yesterday, didn't turn the computer on...Lori's great about catering to our needs and wants... Just hope she is feeling up to it.... Hugs everyone Happy November.... 4 more weeks till the end of Hurricane Season... :)
|
Gaijin I tried to send you a message but your box is full. I need you to resend your information please. Thanks. Lori
|
Thanks for the extension Lori! Hope your recovery is going well, actually I hope you are all recovered but don't recall the expected recovery time.
|
Thanks for the extension - - I just sent you a PM also.
|
tHIS ONE WAS A QUICK SIGN UP. HOPE YA ALL MADE IT.
|
Signup ends tomorrow at noon
|
WEll, I was out for a few months, and had hoped to jump in for NOV.. NOT going to happen. I try for DECEMBER... Look forward to seeing posts and pictures. Happy sewing
|
If anyone knows Gaijin's email address I need her to resend her information, it got erased before it was saved into computer! I tried to send her a pm but mailbox is full
|
Lori, I have her info from the last time I had her, a few months ago, if you want me to send it over. I have an address but no contact info. I will dig around and see if I still have the package (I think I saved it due the the hello kitty stamps) and see if there is contact info on the customs form and PM it to you if so.

Well, I finally get past my meds making me sick and trying to get past the pain. And see that I was sent a message that it had been extended till today. And then I go thru the pages saying that the cut off time was at noon. So, I guess that means I will be sitting out this month. But don't think for one minute that I won't be lurking. LOL Lori How did your surgery go. All I know I am not to sure about this no weight on the foot for 6 weeks.
|
I'm in too.
|
Got my name and will start tomorrow on putting a package together.
|
all names are given out now.
|
Thanks Lori. How ya feelin?
|
GOt my name too-going VERY VERY far away from me!!
|
SP You are so easy and you like Blue and charm packs. ..
working away on your package. |
Hey November Secret Swap partner, I have had you before and you live a good way away from me. Northeast I guess, I'm not good at directions. You like a lot of the same things I do. It is a little gray here today and a lot of brown leaves on the ground. Have a fun day.

Just received my two names. Both are active on the Board and this thread, so it will be fun stalking them to see what they like that was not listed on the Q. Interestingly both my SPs this month like the same fabric colours and have dogs (different breeds), and similar red candy.
|
Clues for my SP: You post very infrequently, You want fabric in certain colors only, and no used items.
|
SP you live in a state where I-75 goes through. Your state borders the state where I lived for the 1st 55 years of my life.. You like purple and also scraps.... That's enough for today... Have a good one everyone... Need to get working on some Charm square projects. Love those charm packs and jelly rolls...
|
Got my SP. And she loves Homemade stuff and has a couple of furry pets. She also loves all kinds of things, so I'm going to have fun with this one. It's good to be back :)
|
My SP lives thousands of miles from me :D. She's an easy to please kinda gal. Not too many specific likes and wants, but she's looking for something unusual.
|
My SP and I share the same home state although neither of us live there any longer.
