ARE DONE. Through the Nyquil, I think I made one mistake-- tried to duplicate on two lists for accuracy and had trouble when I cross-checked but I think I found it!

I decided 12/9 would be a good deadline for sending. For 1) It's a MONTH away. 2) It's mid-week, so the procrastinators out there can tell ourselves they need to be sent by MONDAY and will be in the mail by WEDNESDAY.. Let me know.

As far as opening, would you girls like to schedule a chat where we can chat and open together, or just post pics. We can do both for people who can't make it but I think I chat would be nice. Date/Time negotiable, and I can host more than one.

If you have questions you want to ask your Secret Sister now that you know her name, send them through me, and I will ask. The whole board can assume I am their partner lol. Noted: Except for requests, I tried to throw people out of their "comfort zone". We all know each other, but some friendships are more evident than others. This was impossible in some cases, but I thought it would be fun!

Lastly, thank you all for participating in these very tight times for some, and more difficult times for all. I think these exchanges help build friendships and grow tighter as a group.

Yipee! I am so excited. I think a chat to open presents would be a super fun idea!

By the time Dec 9th rolls around I will have a baby in my arms!

Everything sounds great Michelle!! I think a chat would be great, but it may be hard to put together around the holidays because I'm sure we'll all be pretty busy! I am up for whatever!!! Thanks again for putting this all together!!!

Thanks Michelle! I was just about to ask when we needed to send by. I am open to a chat if we decide to do one, pending holiday plans. My only thought is that it should probably be sometime the next week after we send, that we open. If we get into the week of the 20th, that's when things will start to get crazy for a lot of people.

anything works for me.. the only issue I have is that I work 6pm-midnight I have Tuesdays and Sats off but I'm not usually around so I may be opening before or after everyone, but i could hold off on posting pics til a certain day/time. Thanks again for doing this! I'm excited about who I got!!

tue is a slow tv show night for me so that works! LOL
Thanks for doing this michelle!

[SandKmommy]

Thank you! I got someone that I "know" a little more so thats nice. I most likely wouldn't be able to make it to a chat though since most of you ladies are in Central or Eastern time

[HopeWishWait]

I will be CRAZY busy around the holidays so chat might be hard for me but I'm more than up for posting pics and doing it that way. I'm excited to see what everyone gets (and WAY excited to go shopping!)
