I wanted to throw this out there now to see how much interest there is.

How many of you would be interested in participating in a Secret Santa

on this list?

Basically this is what will happen-I'll collect the names/email addys of

everyone interested. I'll pair everyone up with a person to send a gift

to. (The person you send a gift to will not be the person that sends

you a gift.) I'll send everyone a questionnaire to find out your

likes/dislikes. I'll send your answers to your Secret Santa. It will

then be the responsibility of your Secret Santa to mail your gift to you

by the deadline (to be determined). Once everyone has their gifts,

we'll post a list as to who had whose name.

The amount of the gift should be no more than $25 (before shipping

costs). You can purchase items, make items, or a combo of both. If you

don't know the person whose name you get, you'll be relying on the

questionnaire for help.

Hope that made sense to everyone! Anyone who has an interest can either

post to the list or email me privately.

We had alot of fun with this last year. Let's get more folks

involved. Even if you are a lurker, please join in! It's a way to

make a new friend and have some fun.

I hate to sound cheap but I would love to particate in the secret santa;

except, I think $25 is too much. I have so much to buy for friends/family

that I just can't afford it. Would it be possible to bring it down to about

$10? I could do that. TIA

Hi Colleen,

Please include me in the Secret Santa again this year.

Thanks a bunch,

: )

You don't sound cheap at all! What's everyone else

think? Do we want to lower the minimum amount this

year? And for those who want or can afford more you

can?

Let me know what you all think and it'll go into the

final " rules " posting after Sept. 15. Thanks!

I'm all for lowering the minimum to $10. That's one reason I hadn't signed

up yet. By the time you add the shipping cost to the gift you're at about $30

and I'm really trying to cut back on Xmas this year. Every year it seems like

I have a bigger list. So if everyone goes along with changing it, I'll sign up

too.

Just a reminder here folks... if money is tight ( and we all know how

soaping addictions can eat up spare change *giggle* ) send items you make...

not just soap stuff k? We don't want this to be an expense for anyone.... it

s about having fun and sharing.

You are very welcome! I coulnt exactly make it TOO easy to

figure out! LOL I didnt make the candy but it is handmade. There is

a guy here that sells it. Its just to die for stuf and im not even a

chocoholic! I was hoping the candle holder would make it ok.

I have been kinda getting into making these pins and putting them on

pix of vintage greeting cards. I just love em!

Glad you like!

Your are welcome Terri.... !!

Kim Fuo

-- Secret Santa

I got my Secret Santa package 2 days ago... just now getting a chance to

post about it. Kim F was my Secret Santa.

I GOT A MOOSE!!! (Happy Moose Dance!!!) I love mooses :) He's so cute... he

stands and holds a welcome sign all decked out in a hat, scarf and mittens.

He's on the table right next to my chair in the living room. Also in the box

was delightfully scented bar of peppermint and cornmeal foot scrub soap....

this smells close to my summertime lemon mint herbal tea soap...the one that

I use for dog shampoo... well when Abby (our black lab) got a whiff of the

soap she took off and jumped in my hubbys lap!! hehe... she thought it was

bath time. I told her " No baby this is Mommy's " she just looked at me! hehe

:)

She also sent the neatest face scrub... a little pouch sewn up and inside

were all the face scrub goodies... herbs and soap... I've never seen

anything like it before. I'm waiting to use all my goodies... waiting until

all my Christmas gifts are wrapped and all the little loose ends are wrapped

up for Christmas.

Again this years Secret Santa was sooo much fun. I hope we can make it a

yearly event.

Thanks Kim!!

Merry Christmas!

Terri
