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.

You need to send the Hostess a private message when you mail your package to your SP and when you receive your package. You will also Pm your SP to thank them when you receive your package This will allow me to keep accurate records so you will not get the same SP you had last month.

Failure to send these is reason enough to be banned from the next months swap.

Packages need to be mailed out by November 15[SUP]th[/SUP], this is a Firm deadline. 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 November 10th. Due to mail processing, our mail dates for international mailing has to be as early as possible!

For international mailing it is very important that you mark your parcel as a 'Gift'. Usually on the Customs Declaration there's a box you can check. Also, the value should be $10 only (even if you send diamond necklace).
The person receiving the package is liable for Import Duty, Tax and a Handling fee. This can cost the person receiving as much as $40

As an aside, padded envelopes are much cheaper to send compared to small boxes. I'm not sure if that's true for every carrier or not.


Our International board members are welcome to join the swap.
You must have a phone # or email to sign up

Info Sent

I'm in. I skipped the last two months and missed everyone. Thanks for doing the new form -- I had a hard time keeping the previous one under the limit, even when I converted it to plain text. Are we sending recipes this month, or is that only in December?
Will fill out the form and mail it tomorrow.

Recipes this month and next month or if everyone enjoys it we can keep it I will leave it up to you.
I know there is a mistake in the new form and will get it fixed. Won't let me edit the posting or I would do it now. Have already fixed it on my hard copy. Thank you to eveyone who has filled out the new form.

Verna

Verna

Hi all, I just sent in the new form verna.

Has anyone had problems lately with getting the daily notice from the board. I have not received a daily notice since the 17th of this month. Thank goodness I saved the 17th as new. When I respon to a post I do get that but not the daily notice. Thanks for any help. BrendaK

I'm in for November, will send information shortly. Thanks

I would like to join in for November also!

Hi Verna,

I have PM'ed you.

hugs

Caroline

I am so ready.... come on secret pal info...

Bredna did you accidently click on the link to have them quit sending it to you? I did that one time with the group postings and boy was I freaking out.
Verna

Too Funny still have 8/9 more days.

I'm in!! Bought one item yesterday.

I'm in for November!
Will pm later.

I see there is another Frog in the swap. There is plenty of room on this lily pad!

I am in too

It is so nice to see old friends and new friends! This is so much fun! The wheels are turning!

I am in! I just sent my info to you!!

Wow we sure are quiet in the group. So what are some of your favorite appetizers for Christmas

Baked Brie with fig and walnut filling.

Is it to late to join?

No not till the end of the month and welcome to the group
verna2197

Well now I use to have a favorite drink that I would make at Christmas. If you drink vodka take a frozen container of Five Alive (If you can find it, looks like a frozen container of Lemonade that you mix) anyway add as much vodka as you want and put into the freezer. Leave it until it forms a slush. But be careful it sneaks up on you. Enjoy!!!!!

Love spiced walnuts or pecans. Also firecrackers.

Thank you!
when will we get the name of our secret pal?

You will get your name by the 2nd of the month

One of our family favorite appetizers is a dip called "Texas Caviar" - a tasty and tangy dip made with tomatoes, red onion, black eyed peas, jalapeno, olives, garlic, cilantro, avocado and Girard's Champagne dressing = YUMMIE!! Requires a big back of Tostitos Scoops and some self discipline or you won't eat dinner! It's addictive :)

I am very impatient this month and not sure why... I am ready to have a SP. LOL... must be the festive spirit sneaking up on me.

Lol Hav4boys it will be soon

Sounded real good until you got to the avacoda. Dont care for them

Sent my info in. Exhausted from hosting quilt retreat, but it was fun. Just looked and seen I had time to get info in.

got all the names out if you did not receive a name and have signed up please let me know asap
thanks and have fun and enjoy

:) Received SP name. This will be fun and easy, she gave so much info, yeah!! lol I do so much better when I don't have to worry and fret someone might not like what I pick out and send.
Hints ~ Let's see....I'm older (well I think, I've been married longer), have more grandchildren, Lives North of me, in a different time zone, One of her fav candy Is not mine.

Got my SP. Online shopping done. now to the store today.

I have my pal, She gave me so much info, and now I have to look for her item, I know it's out there, all around me, just have to go to the location. My pal is a collector of several favorites.

Just rec'd my SP and have already ordered her most desired item. Whew - it was hard to locate and then there was only 1 left - Got it! I love that her current interests are new to me so a trip to the LQS is in order and should be fun!
