November Secret Pal Swap closes Nov 1 noon
 
November Secret Pal Swap
Description:
This is a monthly secret pal swap. There is a sign up every month, and you can choose whether or not to participate each month. You will get a different partner every month, and the person you send to will be different than the person you receive from.




1) YOU NEED TO SEND THE HOSTESS A PRIVATE MESSAGE WHEN YOU MAIL YOUR PACKAGE TO YOUR SECRETPAL.

2)ONCE YOU GET YOUR PACKAGE FROM YOUR SECRET PAL, YOU WILL NEED TO SEND A PRIVATE MESSAGE TO THE PERSON WHO SENT THE PACKAGE TO YOU TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU DID RECEIVE IT AND TO THANK THE SENDER.

3) AFTER YOU HAVE THANKED YOUR SECRET PAL, YOU WILL NEED TO SEND ME A PRIVATE MESSAGE TELLING ME THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED YOUR PACKAGE SO THAT I CAN KEEP ACCURATE RECORDS.

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!


If you are sending an international package it will need to be mailed by the 10th of November. Due to mail processing, our mail dates for international mailing has to be as early as possible! No later than the 10th of November. It can take many weeks to reach your SP so any delays in mailing can delay the start of the next month’s sign-up sheet being posted.


Once you have decided to join the swap, please send me a PM with the completed information sheet.

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.

Sincerely,
Tricia

Belfrybat 11-01-2013 01:01 PM

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.

Grandma Peg 11-01-2013 01:03 PM

Signed up, waiting for the name.

Bullock2us 11-01-2013 04:38 PM

Didn't notice this until tonight- so missed out. Will watch for the next one! Hope you all have a great time!

starshine 11-01-2013 08:04 PM

annt59 11-02-2013 05:49 AM

Can you extend this to Nov. 3rd for sign-up?

Krystyna 11-02-2013 05:55 AM

Ooofka! I almost missed this one!

bjsmith57 11-02-2013 05:55 AM

Oops missed - - did not see until this morning:(

catpawski 11-02-2013 06:32 AM

I believe I signed up ..........under the other thread...........I did send my information to Lori...............

tedytrser 11-02-2013 06:43 AM

Well I guess I missed this one had foot surgery and missed due to pain meds.

Belfrybat 11-02-2013 06:55 AM

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!

annt59 11-02-2013 09:10 AM

Yes, Lori said we can sign up until the third. I will send pm to the others on this who were late seeing this.

Ladybug 1938 11-02-2013 09:31 AM

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... :)

Lori Peercy 11-02-2013 10:47 AM

Gaijin I tried to send you a message but your box is full. I need you to resend your information please. Thanks. Lori

starshine 11-02-2013 11:45 AM

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.

bjsmith57 11-02-2013 12:46 PM

Thanks for the extension - - I just sent you a PM also.

lawsonmugs 11-02-2013 03:34 PM

Lori Peercy 11-02-2013 03:45 PM

Jan Rutherford 11-02-2013 07:50 PM

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

Lori Peercy 11-03-2013 08:14 AM

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

quiltingdragon 11-03-2013 09:37 AM

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.

That would be great and could get me started and maybe she will read on the thread to clean out her mailbox, otherwise it won't matter as I can't give her her secret pal information

tedytrser 11-03-2013 12:25 PM

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.

fayzer 11-03-2013 01:00 PM

I'm in too.

lawsonmugs 11-03-2013 05:40 PM

Got my name and will start tomorrow on putting a package together.

Lori Peercy 11-03-2013 05:44 PM

all names are given out now.

lawsonmugs 11-03-2013 05:50 PM

Thanks Lori. How ya feelin?

Bullock2us 11-03-2013 06:08 PM

GOt my name too-going VERY VERY far away from me!!

wanda lou 11-03-2013 11:00 PM

SP You are so easy and you like Blue and charm packs. ..
working away on your package.

homecaregiver 11-04-2013 04:59 AM

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.
Pat

Belfrybat 11-04-2013 05:21 AM

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.

quiltingdragon 11-04-2013 05:59 AM

Clues for my SP: You post very infrequently, You want fabric in certain colors only, and no used items.

Ladybug 1938 11-04-2013 06:16 AM

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...

reeskylr 11-04-2013 08:40 AM

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 :)

Knitette 11-04-2013 09:36 AM

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.

madbury 11-04-2013 09:49 AM

My SP and I share the same home state although neither of us live there any longer.
