*planning ahead* Halloween Exchange Sign up!

[twinflower]

*bounces and then yelllls...*

 

 

BOO!

 

*giggles* 

 

Here it is!  The scary, bewary, bewitching Happy Halloween Exchange sign up!   :o  Oh my! lol

 

Again as part of our Planning Ahead discussion, folks thought that signing up for the Halloween exchange now, would give more folks the chance to participate and have more time to get a little Halloween surprise together to send to thier Scary Kinster Fiend...um Friend!   :D  By Halloween even!

 

Sign up will be from now until Wednesday September 30th, and you will recieve the name of your Kinster Fiend by Friday, October 2nd!

 

While there isn't a set theme...there are several folks who are on a no candy life!  So try to make your Scary Mail light on sugar?! *grins*  maybe heavy on atmosphere?  LOL  There are tons of cool Halloween decorations ..*bounces*  I peeked!  LOL

 

Also..when you sign up...if candy is a no no for please say so! 

And EVERYONE..if you prefer to NOT mail overseas, or don't mind let me know please! 

 

*looks at Lor and giggles and pokes her*  Scary Mail!  I LOVE IT!

[Jaydena]

*ponders* I will think on this and check the bills. It's my favorite holiday and favorite exchange so I hate to miss out.

[Mirshann Uuranor]

Is there any sort of limits (other than sugar) that we should be aware of?  Spending limits, and the like?

[U4ea]

Sign me up!

 

And I think I'll go with a BOO theme this year... *ponders*

[Samuraiflip05]

Hmmm, I am in tentatively.  I have to check things out first. 

[Mirshann Uuranor]

Any news on this?

[U4ea]

News? You mean about limits? I think we decided not to go with limits this year. As for dates, Twinny's note said she'd get matches done and PM'd on the 2nd of October.

 

:) You in?

[Mirshann Uuranor]

Okay.  And yes. ;D

[twinflower]

sorry mirsha!  Was having a twinnie moment there and didn't post and thought i did!  ::)

 

and just to let you know...we don't spend lots and lots on the exchanges!  *grins*  I think we try to find something in our budget that our buddy will like..I know folks have sent candle holders for like tealights..and candy is ok unless someone specifies they don't want any!  LOL  A decoration, something funny!  Some of the type of things I've sent are a crocheted witch, or a haunted house made from craft sticks...a pumpkin candy jar...SOCKS!  yes well...anyway does that help?

 

actually I went back to the original discussion and Tay posted this about the spending limit and I think it sums it up perfectly!

 

I don't think we need a spending limit. We all know that money is tight and not to go overboard.  Exchanges have usually been small tokens or gifts that can be picked up fairly cheaply, so it's not like we all spend a ton on them other than maybe at Christmas.

[twinflower]

wow...*frowns and looks around*

 

i think if nobody else signs up here by the end of September we might keep it open a week into october....I don't remember a Halloween exchange being so so so...lonely!

[twinflower]

*bumps*

[U4ea]

I started my shopping today... *grins broadly*

[Mirshann Uuranor]

I think I will put off shopping until I find out who I have.  That's just me though. :P

[twinflower]

*grins at Lor*

 

I know!  I have been unable to resist a few wonderful things I've seen!  LOL 

 

I had to laugh though..for years I have made the Popcorn hands with the candy corn fingernails..and I see this year they have finally came up with a kit to sell to make them!  I should have thought of that and marketed it years ago...dang another missed opportunity!

 

ooohh have you seen the cool little potion bottles they have this year?  they are really cute!

[Samuraiflip05]

I don't see much of anything.  I tend to go to the store about once every 2-3 months.  Tammy does all the grocery shopping. 

[Taymist]

*dashes in late* I'm going to have to sit this one out. October's a nightmare for bills. I'd rather concentrate on Christmas.  :)

[twinflower]

*smiles*  ok love!  LOL  i'll prolly have to haunt you anyway!

[U4ea]

*grins at Lor*

YES! It was all I could do not to get one last weekend!

 

I saw a jar at a craft show that I wanted for school. It was one of those savings jars with cute things on it. This one said "Ashes of former students." LMAO    Another said "Ashes of the last student who didn't behave."  Now, if only the ethics committee would find that as humorous as I do... *sighs*

[Jaydena]

Sorry ladies as much as I hate to miss this for the first time ever, my van decided to break down and is currently sitting at the shop. *sighs*

[twinflower]

Maybe you'll feel a little better after the mail comes today or tommorrow..... ;)

[twinflower]

Ok Sam?  Are you in or out?  You didn't really say which!  *grins*  I hope in...*winks*  I found boy stuff for halloween!

 

 

Ok anyone else?  I wonder if Ursula has missed this thread..she usually doesn't miss Halloween....

[Samuraiflip05]

Put me in.  :)

[twinflower]

YIPPEE!!  You're in!  *hugs sam*

[mmeeshal]

I'd love to do exchanges but I really don't have money for it... :(

 

Maybe I'll just send cards to everyone who's signed up for the exchanges!  I think I can manage that much at least. ;)

[twinflower]

*hugs mmeesh*  cards are always wonderful my darling squirrel! *grins*  the original happy mail!

 

LOl  Ok sorry i'm so late on this folks...sheesh the body broke down again!  I swear bill needs to find a part shop for Twinnies!

 

Anyway your names are pm'd to you!  Have a spooky and FUN time!
