Announcing the new "Secret Santa Handmade Swap"

This will be similar to a swap, but you only get one person to sent to. Please, remember, you must be a member for three months to participate in Secret Santa's Handmade Swap.

Participants will fill out a questionnaire so their Secret Santa will be able to personalize the gift package for the receiver. Please remember that the gift(s) need to be Handmade and in the $5-$10 average price range. Handmade gift suggestions can be, but are not limited to a page kit, set of cards, mini album, decorated paint can, clipboard, or lunch pail.

If you are not interested in (or can not afford to) partnering with someone internationally, please be sure to make it on your form. Shipping cost internationally are more expensive than domestic US mail. Not all of ourmembers are in the US and we don't want someone to feel burdened with an extra expense they were not expecting.

This is a Secret Santa Handmade Swap in addition to the current SS. Anyone already signed up for SS may also participate in the Handmade Swap (SSHS) if they so wish, but must turn in a new form so I can keep the records straight. Please DO NOT post your questionnaire to the newsgroup. This is a super secret activity. We don't want anyone to know who you are, or even who all is playing.

Now for the "official rules"

  1. Mail the "form" below to me (Sandy) by October 27. Everyone will have 7 days to see the post and decide if they want to play .

  1. I will match you up with someone else on the group.

  2. You must be a "regular" on the group for three months to participate. (Do a search on rcs.google to see when you started posting if you are not sure.)

  1. You will spend approximately - (or close to it) on a scrap/acid free handmade gift.

  2. If you sign up PLEASE follow through with it. If for some reason, you won't be able to follow through PLEASE let me know as soon as possible so that someone won't be disappointed and everyone gets a gift who participates.

  1. You will NOT be matched in pairs, it will be random.

  2. Enjoy the spirit of being a Secret Santa. Giving, sharing and caring.......and being very, very sneaky. Notes, cards and e-mails are just a few of the ways you can 'tease' your "giftee".

  1. If you receive a 'teaser' from your Secret Santa, post to the group to let us know about it. We all like to be a part of the holiday spirit between participants, even those of us not participating..

  2. PLEASE try to have your packages in the mail no later than December 15 for domestic, and December 8 for international mailing.

  1. You can not open your gift until December 25th.
