Secret Squirrels!
 

Hello Ladies! Long time no chat, (but I'mmm baccckk)

It's about to be that time of year again and I was just wondering if anyone was interested in doing Secret Squirrels (aka Secret Santas) this year?

LiEP

i'm all over that!!!!!

marissa

I'm up for it too, but I know I'm going to go broke with presents for squirrels this year! ;)

me 2:D

Just bought a cute baby shower present for an AGD. Woulda been cute for a Phi Mu or ADPi;)

Count me in! :)

I'm in as long as you all promise to remind me NOT to order my gift through the Rose Garden.

DITTO!

I'm down to participate in the 3rd annual exchange...just let me know who and I'll send !!!

Sure. ok. I'll do it too. Lisa

I'm not participating but could be a neutral party to set things up if you'd like.

Dee

Hee Hee.... at least I got it by April :)

All those in favor of Dee setting it up because she volunteered so graciously, say Aye.........

Aye (but if you want help I am more than willing too :D)

I'd just need some instruction, but I gather I just collect names and real addresses and then pass them back out again to someone other than themselves?

GOT IT IN ONE!
 

That's about it, lol.

The number of post-ers has decreased over the past year or so for some reason, lol, so there it shouldn't be overwhelming, lol. :D

I do have 1 suggestion...have people let you know who they have sent to/received from previously.

and make sure they include info such as fave color, clothing size or if there is something particular that ehy want. I believe last year we set a $$ limit.

I'm in and aye for Dee!

Also I'm easy.... thanks to my SSs from the past I've started a GREAT collection of AGD orinaments! (not spelled right, I know).

So if you want to get me the NEW 2004 ornament that would be great!Rose Garden 2004

I would love too!!!

You can find my "real" email address on alphagammadelta.org, members only section, VST Contacts.. PDC Great Lakes 2.

If you have trouble with this PM me!

Email to me:

gift preference/size/etc.
Who you have had previously

Since ya'll are spending the money, you can figure out the price limit!

I'll set a deadline of Saturday, November 20th for guaranteed participation and will assign your secret sisters by U.S. Thanksgiving (Nov. 25)

Dee

*bump*

Me too!

I want to play too! Quick question though... does anyone remember if you were my secret squirrel last year? You sent me the cutest Alpha Gam pillow (the red one with the little pompoms on the corners).

I think that might have been me!!!

I would love to play sercret squirrels! I saw the cutest squirrel today at an estate sale! Count me in! PM me and let me know " how to play"! I am rather new at this!

okay thanks! I'm sending my email with my info in just a few minutes.

Here is a list of those who posted that they want to participate but haven't sent me their info yet:

Sandy
Lynn
Maria
laureagd
nolesaw
UMGirl98

I have received info from:
littlebritches
hawaiiagd
taualumna
alphagambaby
squirrely girl
GtownGirl98
Lisa Fishman

I have either PMd or emailed each of you with your secret squirrel (depending on how you contacted me!)

Last year's guidelines were:

Financial Limitations: $20 or less. (Unless you really really want to spend more.) Remember, it's the thought and fun that counts! (copied from Lynn’s post last year)

All squirrels should try to send/receive their gifts between December 1st and December 12th. Then we can all reveal and gossip all weekend long!!

13 women are participating this year!

Have fun and Merry Christmas!

Dee

Someone emailed and asked me a very good question.. one which I don't have the answer to! Traditionally, have you let the person know who you are when you send the gift?

Thanks!

Dee

I don't think we have ever set it straight... I say let them know with your package because of the new mailing policies about mail safty. Though it would be fun to place guess who!

That's what I'm probably going to do. :)

can I join in?!
 

Hi :)

Is it too late to get in on this?? Silly me forgot to reply sooner :(
I have done it the past two years & have the perfect gift in mind for an AGD! :)

Please let me know.

Loyally,
Jen

Re: can I join in?!
 

If anybody else contacts me about participation, I can match you. I'll keep you posted.

If there is anybody else who still wants to participate, PM me so that we can maintain the "secret" part of secret squirrels!

Dee

Hey! How are we doing the reveal? Are we all waiting till a specific date or something?


I need to ask forgiveness... I have been a bad SS this year... I have fallen behind because of some dental work I had last week... but I promise that I will have something to my SS soon!


ETA: After posting this message, I found something online. So I retract what I just said about not having it yet... It will be out in the mail in about 2 or 3 days...

I have my SS gift but haven't mailed it out yet. It will get there soon! Sorry about the delay!!

Has anyone received their SS gift yet?

I am mailing my SS gift out today!! I hope it gets there soon!!

ditto here - it will get mailed this weekend!!!!

marissa
