🎅✨ It’s that time again… Secret Santa Sign-Ups! ✨🎅

Here’s how it works:
📩 Send me ALL your info in a message (per the rules below).
✅ Once I receive it, I’ll send you a confirmation back.
🚨 If you don’t get a reply, that means I did not receive your info—so double-check!

Sign-ups are open until October 30th. No late entries accepted (Santa is firm on this one!). 🎄 Names will go out on November 1st.

So tell your friends, tell your friends’ friends, and have them tell their friends—you get the drift. The more the merrier! 🎁
🎄 THE RULES (aka Santa’s Commandments):

1. Mailing Deadline: November 22nd. Hard deadline. No mailing late unless you’re incapacitated or six feet under. If that’s the case, please notify me (preferably before haunting begins). 👻
   
2. Proof of Mailing: All packages must have delivery confirmation. Keep your receipt until you know your person has received their package.
   
3. Accountability Clause: If you receive but don’t send, you’ll be banned from future swaps and Santa will put you on the Naughty List permanently. ❌
   
4. By signing up, you agree to follow the rules.
   
5. Unmarked Packages: Don’t open anything suspicious. PM me if you aren’t sure, and I’ll confirm if it’s from your Secret Santa.
   
6. International Shipping: If you’re shipping overseas, fill out a customs form. Always mark total value as $20 or less, and mark as “gift” to avoid unnecessary fees for the receiver.
   
7. Be Kind: Some people chat a lot, others don’t. No snide remarks—this is meant to be fun!
   
8. Card Inside: Include a card so your recipient knows who it’s from. If you forget, mail the card separately.
   
9. Gift Guidelines: 4 Fat Quarters + gift(s) not to exceed $25. Homemade baked goodies don’t count toward the limit.
   
10. Santa Angels: Sometimes someone flakes or drops out. You can volunteer to be a Santa Angel, but it’s not guaranteed you’ll be called.
    
11. Moms Welcome: Moms can join too! Just sign them up separately (under your board name). Same rules apply. If Mom flakes, you’re responsible.

It's very quiet on here. so I'll give a weather report. Yesterday was very sunny and my vege garden dropped a little. I did pick a cauliflower though that weighed in at 1190 gsm so I made cauliflower pickle last night. Today it's a lot cooler and overcast . great day for weeding.
