2012 Holiday Gift Exchange

OK guys, this was fun last year and it would be nice to give it a go again. If there is someone who sincerely wants to be in charge of this, that is great. Last yr Krystal did it. However, I am open to doing it myself, I have very few bookings in Nov. and think I can handle it.

Rules" - based/copied from Swap last fall

1) Must have a minimum of 100 posts and be a regular poster/visitor to the forum.
2) Must submit by November 9th 11:59 pm PST
3) to my email: jodydsrtrs@aol.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) 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?)
10) 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!

Just saw this. Thanks for heading it up. I was willing, but glad you took care of it.

I'm excited I have to leave for a job but will check on this again soon.

Wish I could, Sounds fun, but I got to pass this year!
Sounds way cool!

I'm in as always. These swaps are the only presents I get so they are very important to me!

I'm debating.........

No need to debate Angela! You know you want to!!

I'll participate...sounds like fun.

Count me in!

Shannon, PM your address, I don't mind to send you the sweetest famous chocolate from Germany.

I'd like to participate, but I'm going to have to post like a demon between now and November 9!

The only reason I am not is because we are going on an extended vaction from the 19thish till Dec ??? (I am guesing the 7th till 13th) Or else I would try!

I just got home and checked my inbox. We have quite a few so far. I will sit down on Monday when the kids are all gone and the hubby is sleeping on midnights, and get some folks matched up.

Oh hi, guys!

Let me tell you, I was a little concerned when I got an email this morning thanking me for running the swap again this year - whaaaat?! I've been insanely busy and this is only like the 3rd time I've been able to log in since April!

(And I miss y'all.)

Jody, it's all yours, lol. I was thinking about this earlier on, but if I take anything else on right now I might explode.

Do I still count as a "regular" poster?

one thing, are you cutting off on wed or fri? cause the 9th is a fri this year i should know its my birthday

This sounds like so much fun! I am in!

just found another swap email in my inbox...

Kammy and Gretchen, please send your info to Jody! (I tried to reply to Gretchen but it bounced back, so hopefully she sees this.)

Count me in! Shannon, I know what you mean. I fill 13 stockings @ my house (grandkids think Santa brings 'em here) AND handle the family Christmas swap. Nana would love a surprise under the tree.

I'm thinking REALLY hard about this. I love swaps, but I've been burned by them so often.

That's awful getting burned. I've only had one swap (wasn't a gift exchange, just a trade) that didn't work - I sent of my side but never got the reciprocal items.

I would love to join the gift exchange sounds like fun!

I really want to participate, but I haven't posted at least 100 times. :/

Those who want to get to 100 posts... I've started a thread...

Lol, Shannon.

GoofyDoodler, hop to it

That is awesome Shannon. So thoughtful of you. I am going too check it out as I hope to get my post count up too. We can do it!!!
