So it is getting to that time of year so I am going to start the Secret Santa sign up.

If you want to participate you need to PM me your name, address, all FID info - including cats, dogs etc., any interests, things you collect, and any other useful information for Santa. Please also include anything you absolutely don't want - like religious items, allergies, etc.

You have until October 31 to get me your info and I will get everyone matched up and sent out the first week of November - I will post when I have sent messages out so please don't send me 100 PM's on November 1st asking who you have. LOL


After people have been matched up we will start a wish list thread for additional info to be posted on.

Any questions feel free to ask. If you did not follow through last year you are automatically disqualified for this year. I will be trying to keep Canadians matched with Canadians and US with US just to keep shipping costs and times reasonable. Any other countries I will take on a case by case basis - so let me know if you are willing to ship internationally when you sign up.

Please remember that I can not control what, when or if someone sends their gifts so you are entering at your own risk. If you cannot follow through after being assigned someone please contact me as soon as possible so I can attempt to make other arrangements.
and of course have FUN!!!!

Joanne,
I am sending you the info by PM. Thanks for doing this, again......

[msdani1981]

Thank you, Joanne!!! I'll be sending you my info, shortly, I think...have to make absolutely sure it's okay with Zach...to make sure we can afford it. I'll let you know either way.

Edit: Sending a PM your way now....

My morning is kind of busy, but I'll get in my pm today sometime.

[Cacophony]

Wooot!

[Joanne's Animal Kingdom]

well from the messages I am receiving less than 24hrs after posting I am guessing this will be a big success this year. Keep those PM's coming - I cleaned out my inbox so there is plenty of room in there. LOL Make sure to tell anyone you think may not have seen this thread.

[Katie28]

Is there a specific spending range?

[Katie28]

Sent in my PM. I can't wait to start shopping!

[Pappagallo]

Just sent my pm too!

[Joanne's Animal Kingdom]

we have been leaving the spending range up to the givers - that way if you want to paricipate and can only afford to spend $10 you can. It is more the fun of getting to know each other and spending what you can afford - some people make toys, others buy regional gifts, etc. It is what ever you want to do.

I just sent in my pm

[equineRtist]

[SantanasMom]

[Andie's Mom]

I just sent mine...I LOVE secret Santa!!!

[Joanne's Animal Kingdom]

we are up to about 15 people so far - I think. I will post a list tomorrow of the names I have so far.

[jujusaffiemom]

how many did we have last year

[Cheekys mum]

Looking forward to this!

[Joanne's Animal Kingdom]

ok - here is the list I have so far - if your name isn't here and you think it should be - PM me again. If someone is missing you think should be here PM them and tell them to get me the info - this is the last week to sign up - need all info by Sunday so I can get the names matched up. I am glad to see 2 of the people that didn't get gifts last year signed up again - I promise you will get a gift this year!

This also means you can not change your screen name until the end of January - I had a few people change their names ast year in December and it was a nightmare for me to keep track of who was who.

so that is 18 people so far - let's see if we can get a few more!

[Katie28]

Woohoo! I'm so excited. I can't wait to see who I get to buy for.

[jujusaffiemom]

woohoo I cant wait I am going shopping this saturday at the bird mart in Ft Worth.
