    @crebre- heh I met b on match... but now that I know him that is so out of character! He doesn't have any kind of messenger (aim, msn, yahoo, etc); he has totally abandoned his personal email (boo for no more gchat); the only time he is ever on the computer is for work, work email, and sports. He doesn't realize what he is missing!

    @corgi: haha if my FI knew he'd think try to discourage it!

    I gave crebre my mom's address because I'm spending most of the month of december at her place... haha if I received 20 cards from my online friends I'd have some major explaining to do :) She'd be like "What happened to all your real friends?" lol

    There's still time for others to join!! I will be sending the list out sometime after the 20th!!  We will only be sending out one card per person.  If you'd like to send out cards to additional people on the list, just shoot me a PM and let me know and I'll give you the others addresses.  If you don't want your address given to anyone other than the designated person, let me know!!! Christmas Christmas time is near time for joy and time for cheer!! (Singing my in Chipmunks voice btw!!)

    Can we choose who gets our addresses? I know that sounds mean, but there are some people on the list that I don't recognize at ALL and that makes me a little bit nervous!

    whew three in 10 minutes i think!!

    @kmsull: hmmm i think it depends... for multiple addresses sure, but if my little one pulls a name and then another person's, it may be difficult to keep pulling until everyone has the name that they chose if that makes sense. so he'll pull and you'll have one other person's whether you know them etc or not, and then if other people want to send you mail you can have a list of people who can or cannot get your address (creates major difficulties for me and i may need an assistant lol!!) or you can just elect to not have anyone other than the person that has your name email you and pm the folks on the list to get their address to send the card too?

     

    okay another question do you want to know who has who?

    You can use elfster to setup the card exchange!

    http://www.elfster.com/

    It's important to keep the group small... last year Bee participated in Brooklyn Bride's exchange, and didn't get a single card!  Well she got one from Vane (who runs the site), but alas... I guess the group was too big and impersonal maybe?

    Crebre, can we get the addresses for other people through you in addition to the one that is given to use through elfster?  There are a couple girls I for sure want to send cards to.

    Cause I didn't know you had done that and I thought someone was trying to recruit people for another one! I was angry! Then I realized it was you. It looks like they have a spending limit thing down at the bottom.
