« Last call for knitting Secret Pals! | Main | fun facts »

03.01.2004 :: Here we go.....

I am beginning to email the buddies out right now. If you do not receive an email from me with the name of your secret pal by tonight, please let me know. It is entirely possible that a name could have gotten left off my list! ~GASP~

So, here's some rules......

1. Follow the rules or be subject to my wrath.
2. Okay, the rules are more like guidelines. Follow the guidelines or be subject to my wrath.
3. Make contact with your secret pal within 2 weeks. Mail them something. Make it fun. If you have not heard from your secret pal in about 3 weeks, contact me and I will be forced to publicly humiliate the party pooper.
4. If life circumstances change and you can't handle a secret pal, please email me a white flag. You will be forgiven and not subjected to my wrath. I will find someone to step in your place and no one will be the wiser. Be a responsible buddy!
5. The knitters secret pals will end on May 31st, 2004. 3 months.
6. Do not send your buddy crap. Nothing personal, but cleaning out your closet and sending old, dusty stuff is not a thrill to receive. Please do not send old skeins of red heart yarn under the farce of "gift-giving". Unless of course, you have been clued in to the fact that your buddy loves red heart yarn. Then it will be a magnificent gift!
7. Save the best for last.
8. The gifts do not all have to be knitting related. But the finale gift should be.
9. And when I talk of gifts, it doesn't have to be big or a lot. Being thought of is a wonderful gift!
10. When sending things in the mail, you must put your return address due to anthrax scares, but I think it would be okay to put...the return address name as K. buddy. Most of us don't know each other's addresses anyway.
11. Have fun!
12. You don't want to see my wrath. Believe me....

Here is all the participants info in my knitting bag waiting to be chosen. Bethany pulled one for me and secretly emailed that person. Lucky you.

Let the Pals begin!
