Secret Squirrels!
 

Heh heh, long time no see from me huh ;)

I was just wondering if we were still interested or going to do a Secret Squirrel aka "Secret Santa" thing?

Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!

Figures in Upstate NY, we would get our first snowfall today. Just saw a kid try to make a snow angel. Not quite enough for that yet, but I expect a snowball fight to break out at my job on Saturday :D

Lynn, could you please PM me your addy, so I can send you a card. Hope you feel better soon!

TONYA! :D

I was going to give it one more day and then send up an All Points Bulletin for you. Where have you been?

BTW, I'm up for Secret Squirrel for the holidays this year. I think Nina volunteered to coordinate. Ad if she didn't, well, I guess I just volunteered her. ;) :p

Secret Squirrel sounds super, lol!

Tonya, feeling better (with a little pain/naseau (want to go furniture shopping 2.5 hours away tomorrow, lol.) PM in the mail. ;)

I'm up for it too.

Sidenotes:
Tonya, welcome back!
Lynn, glad you're feeling better!

Oh, ok. I'd like to do the secret squirrel thing too.

Count me in for "Secret Santa/Sister" too! Sounds like fun! How would this work?

me four
 

I want to be a secret squirrel for someone! I think it would be great fun!

Does someone want to volunteer to coordinate this? That sister will have to have names and addresses of everyone who's in so she can make the arrangements.

I think we should also have a limit on cost--don't want to go overboard (that's for next year ;)).

Anyone else interested? Sign up here! :)

heck ya count me in - and i'm an easy buy - whatever bid day shirts you have laying around are great!!!

marissa
aka - the bid day shirt freak!

Didn't Maria Volunteer Nina?
 

:D

If Nina doesn't take it, I will.

(Okay, all you AGD's who "lurk" but don't post, lol!!! We'd love to get to know you too! )

Wish there was a way to disquise the addresses/postmarks, but with the security problems these days, maybe not a good idea, lol)

Is this just for these holidays or for a period of time afterward?

Loyally,
Lynn

secret squirrel!!
 

I want to join in on the fun! Just let me know when you need my address and all that!

Loyally,
Abby

Lynn, I think you would be perfect to plan this! You seem so organized and ready to go!!!

Let me know when you need my addy!!! Lets get this started. The holidays are fastly approaching!!

:D

If Lynn or Nina wants help doing it, I will be happy to help.

Is there anyway we can make this an important annoucement so us AGD's can see it right away when they come on and they can sign up for it. Like maybe have it as an important annoucement until the end of next week, and then after that just go by what names we have???

COUNT ME IN TOOO!!! I totally want to be in on this secret squirrel thing!! :) Let me know what I need to do ...

I've been one of those lurkers for the past while - life has just been tooo crazy lately .... but its calmed down now I should be around a lot more often!

- Jen :)

Okay, you talked me into it since Nina hasn't commented lately, lol!

1. Could Sandy or Nina post this at the top?

2. First deadline will be 11.18.02. After that, I will do in pairs.

3. PM me your snail mail address. Don't forget to include your real name, in case I don't know it, lol.

4. Let me know your faves, dislikes, and if you are allergic to anything (not anyone, lol).

5. All AGDs, collegians and alumnae, are welcome! The more the merrier and sisterhoodish!

6. Spending limit - $20 or less. (Unless you really really want to spend more.) Remember, it's the thought and fun that counts!

Anyone think of anything I forgot?

I have pm'd you!! :)

hehe sorry :)

But since Lynn has graciously volunteered, I will leave it up to her :)

*BUMP*

err Tonya, why are you bumping the thread when I stuck it up on top? hehe

Hee Hee, cuz I want it to be first on the important list! :p

I'd love to

Secret Squirrel
 

Me again, lol. Seems that I'm the info taker. I need your real name and address, like, dislikes, allergies.

Thanks!
Lynn

Late to the party as always...

Lynn, I'll PM you soon with the info you need.

Thanks for putting in the effort guys! You rock!

Add me to the list! Uhm, can someone email so I can email them the info,... it is tough for me to get on GC cause my AOL won't let me.. just email me at cornholiet@aol.com
Thanks awesome gals!

Gotcha!
 

Email sent.

Got 9!!
 

Okay, I want more!!! ;) :D :D

Everybody here????
 

I'll match up Tuesday or Wednesday night and forward emails to y'all!!

If you haven't signed up, come on!!!! ;) :D :D

I haven't forgot!!
 

I still need to get clarification from a couple of SS's. Will try to send out as soon as I can!!

If you haven't signed up, come on!!:)

Okey doke!
 

I have sent out the Secret Squirrel pms. If you didn't get it, please let me know.

I definitely would never make it in any profession where I had to match things fast, lol! It was fun trying to match sisters that I barely know!

Hint! Read AGD Roll Call to read more about who you got.

It was interesting to see the breakdown that I got of where everyone is from. I'll tell you afterwards, ;) :D

Are we all sending the packages around the same time so that everyone gets theirs around a certain date?

You brought up a good point, Leslie.

With all the dramas of holiday shipping...when should we start sending stuff to ensure that the recipient gets her gift before Christmas? When's the latest?

To help yall out a bit
 

To help yall out a bit: If you are having trouble finding something in your squirrel's liking from the list they sent to Lynn see the past thread I wrote called "These are a few of my Favorite Things" in the AGD Forum. See if that helps you get more ideas.

I think that AlphaGam1019 (Nina) was the only one that listed 2 addresses. It may depend on how close/far your package has to go, ;) :D

Someone also asked me "When should we reveal ourselves? In the package w/ the gift and write "From: AGD Squirrel" @ address? Or a snail mail or email note later on? The later will keep 'em guessing!

I am going to leave it up to you, just remember that many of you have your town's location on your profile, lol.;)

There are multiple people from the same part of the country...if you know someone traveling to a different part, they could mail it for you, lol.

Have fun!!

Argh! I didn't think about that! I'm only one of two sisters from Hawaii! That'll be a dead giveaway!

Too late to join the party?

At least this way, whoever gets a package postmarked from Hawaii won't have to assume it's Sandy :D

I might have one for you! I have to find out an address.

Lynn:)

I like the idea but i'm broke and can't afford to buy anything...Leslie keeps convincing me to go out w her to eat instead of eating at the AB house...

But my note is that you need to put a return address because esp since after 9/11 there have been notices out at post offices that show things about packages that will make them be alerts...Not having a return address was one of the things that make packages get immediate suspicion...

HOpe that makes sense..
but if anything i guess you could put a cute AGD logo/sticker or drawing where the return label is so it doesn't seem AS weird...

Thanks!
 

I hope that you go with Leslie!! :D

Re: Thanks!
 

oh it doesn't take too much to convince me to go out to eat...so i go with Leslie...and my tummy definetly shows the results!

luv

I got my Secret Squirrel gift in the mail last night! BIG THANK YOU to her...the AGD calendar is soooo cute and I can't wait to put it up (it replaces the icky golf-course calendar Sean put up last year. tee hee)

Should I reveal who my SS is?
