The sign-up deadline will be Monday, November 23th.  That way you can utilize the Thanksgiving holiday sales!  


RULES:
Please post the responses to the questionnaire here on the forum (and if you can think of anything else that would be helpful, please do add it!  We can never know TOO much...well, wait, I suppose we actually could...but you know what I mean  Wink ).  Then please pm me your forum name, real name, and mailing address.  

Deadline to mail gifts out will be December 16th (that is a Wednesday, so that people should have them in hand before whichever holiday they choose to celebrate (remember, Festivus is on the 23rd this year...and every year).  Don't feel like you need to spend a small fortune!  I know this year has been rough for a lot of people financially.  As always, the minimum price is a stamp and an envelope.  In the past, people have received books, faire accessories, faire favors, CDs, DVDs, calendars, all kinds of beautiful hand made items...be creative!  

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE (I cannot say please enough on this one!!!), if you think there is a chance that you will not be able to afford to do this, do NOT sign up!  Wait until May when we start our Midsummer Exchange again.  It is not fair to the person who is waiting for a gift to have their secret gift fairy back out at the last minute.  I *do* understand that sometimes unexpected situations happen after you have signed up...if that is the case, just let me know, and I will get your person rematched.  But if you are expecting to be a little short on dough this year, please do not sign up!
