Holiday/New Year Gift Exchange?

It's been a looong time since our last Gift Exchange - anyone interested in trying to fit one in before the holidays?! This would mean a super short sign up period, though.

"Rules" - based/copied from BluAngel's Swap last fall

1) Must have a minimum of 100 posts and be a regular poster/visitor to the forum.
2) Must submit by Wednesday, November 9th 11:59 pm PST
3) to my email: faceaballoonza @ gmail.com (no spaces) (to keep my inbox open) SUBJECT: FPF Gift Swap
4) please provide your: Screen Name, Real Name, Shipping address, and Wish list and list of stuff you do NOT want. This also includes whether you are willing to accept used/slightly used paints etc, ie if you're just trying stuff out!
5) Gifts should be FP-supply based and "worth" a minimum of $10 with no maximum. (You can throw in chocolate etc but it's a bonus and doesn't count towards the value of your gift. Gift options include: paint, gems, brushes, sponges, FP books etc.)
6) Please let me know if you do not want to ship internationally.
7) If you flake out, you will be banned from future swaps
8 )All gifts should be mailed out by Friday, November 25th. I will try to have recipient names/addresses to you within 2 days (by Friday, Nov 11th), so you have 2 weeks to shop and mail out your gifts. This gives If for some reason you need an extra day or two IM me so that I can let your Swapee know.

Also:

9) Yes, you can request a swappee (person you will send a gift to) as long as they are participating.
10) Haven't checked with her, but I'm sure Metina would have no problems with you buying your gift (or GC)from the FPFStore and having her ship it out for you (Right Metina?)
11) Don't tell your buddy who you are ahead of time, but if you want to let them know when they receive your gift, then by all means!

Ok - I think that's it!

Let's do this!

If you've emailed me and I've somehow missed putting your name up, let me know! (The one thing I don't like about GMail is how, while you can label emails, you can't just shove them into a separate file, lol. I'm sifting through constantly, but just in case...tell me )

Bumpity bump bump so more people can see this.

Let me know if anyone has any questions! If you search "swap" you'll see a couple of threads from previous exchanges, as well.

minimum of 100 posts? wow.

Yes. This is from last Halloween's swap:

Since we had some issues last time around we are asking that you have at least 100 posts in order to participate in this swap. Also if you can't follow through PLEASE do not sign up. If you flake out on the swap you will be banned from any future swaps as well. Sorry to be harsh on this but it's just not fair to the others waiting on packages forever or those that never received one at all!

Unfortunately this makes it a bit tricky for our newer members, but the minimum post count wasn't made a "rule" until there was reason to have one. But there's still time to up your post count so we can get to know you better

YEAH!!!! My Hubby is an employed man now & I can finally participate!!! I'll email you in a bit!

Count me in Kristal

Yeeaaahhhboooyyyyy!

I'm in.

Excellent!

Tamara, Sam and Gina - can you all email me your info?

I am going to edit my first post and list all of the participants

That is an awesome idea!

Such a great idea, thank you for organizing Kristal!

Hooray! E-mail hath been sent!

not sure how many posts i have, but i would love to be a part of this,

I am a flake about mailing things, but I can have Metina send it! I will email you my information.

hahaha martha! At least you're honest!

I'm in. Email you when I get home, Kristal.

I emailed you Kristal

I sent you an email to your Gmail account, do you want me to try agian Kristal?

emailed!

I'm in!! I sent you an e-mail. Sounds like fun.

YAY! I had JUST started face painting during this time last year so I couldn't join in the fun as I didn't have enough posts and just missed but I'm so on it this year!!!

Awesome!

I've received a bunch of emails but was swamped today - may take me a day or so to update the list.

Please remember that when you email me (to my gmail account, not my FPF inbox) that I need all of your personal info (well, no bank cards and PIN's lol) and the list(s) - please refer to my first post for clarification.

Also, make sure if you copy & paste Kristal's email, remove the spaces the put in it.

Sent e-mail with information this morning. Thank you Kristal for doing this.

Ooo! Ooo! I wanna do it!!
I'll email you right away!
