I'm in, too!  Did you get my PM, grammalady?

Here's some info on me for the lucky person who gets my name...

--My favorite color is PINK, and I just can't get enough pink!
--I'd love something from my SS's hometown;
--My hobbies are reading, sewing (mostly cross stitch), and baseball;
--I love food of any kind; and,
--No matter what you pick for me, I'll love it.  Even if I got a box of coal from dwcrawford, I'd open it and say, "Ohhhh, how special!  He thought of me when it picked it out!"  Then, I'd keep it and tell everybody about it.  I'm the easiest person in the world to please; I love a present of any kind.

   2009 Holiday Gift Exchange (Hard to believe, but it's that time again!) 

Attention: Members with less than 50 posts must be approved before you are allowed to participate.

Here are the details:

--- This is a "Secret Santa" type of exchange.  I will randomly draw names to assign people. You will not know who is sending you a gift. You will only know who you are sending to (you can identify yourself in the package.)

--- Gift(s) value should be around $10.00-20.00, but no less than $10.00 (USD - sorry don't know the exchanges for different currency).  As far as what the gift should be, that's up to you.    You may want to research your person's posts to try to get an idea of what they may like.

Use this thread to list your likes and dislikes, allergies, etc. to give ideas as to what your Secret Santa might send you. (Worked well last year, I see no need to change it now)

--- You must sign up by PM'ing your info NO LATER THAN October 20th. To be included on the Holiday Exchange list you must send me your snail mail address.

--- Names will be drawn and announced (by PM) on November 2nd.

--- Gifts must be mailed out NO LATER THAN November 23rd, and sooner if you are sending overseas.

If you want to participate, please PM thegrammalady your info.  We will have copies of all the mailing addresses, and of course whoever is sending you a gift will have your address, but it will not be posted publicly.

Please use this format in the PM:
   Screen name
   Real name (first and last)
   Complete mailing address
   If you are willing to sending a gift overseas (it may cost a little extra for shipping)
   Outside of the US must have a phone number.

We will post a final list of who is participating as we receive the information.

If you sign up for the exchange and fail to send a gift you will be banned from IHD for 90 days.

If you have any questions, please post in this thread or PM thegrammalady.

Those who participated last year had a blast!

"Women" sizes are usually for larger women like me.    ;D

Ladies sizes are usually the regular S, M, L.

Is that what you're talking about?
