Newbie Question

we enjoy surprising each other with soft squishy envelopes (hence the term squishy) - usually filled with fabric but other things have been sent too

we love each other and enjoy sharing the love around :-D

Thanks! What a great idea!

So how does one go about sending out "squishies"?"

If you already know someone's address - go for it. The squishy can be anonymous if you like.

There is a directory of addresses for the news group, but that has just closed and the next review will not be for 6 months or more. Not everyone chooses to be in the Directory either - it's optional. We are careful about protecting everyone's privacy so newcomers would need to have posted for a little while before being given access anyway. If you want to be included in the next Directory just watch for the post calling for directory updates next year (which is not far away really!). There is always plenty of notice and reminders given. We have a Keeper of the Directory (Alice) who works very hard on this huge job for us. She will probably be the one calling for the updates next year.

In the mean time you can email and ask for an address, but most people will not post there personal details on the ng - it's just a bit too public.

For more details check out Sandy Ellison's posts on 8Nov about FAQs, etc.
