Just reaching out with some updates:

Post #2 is updated as of Noon today... signups picked up this morning due to TalkMail!

If any of my regular participants want more than five signups... just let me know.

If anyone else wants more than they initially asked for let me know by Nov 2. I only plan to do one final assignment and it will be after the signup period ends.

I could really use a few more women as Santas....

OK... off to fatten up the reindeer and shine Rudolph's nose!

Signed up today for my first time and am looking forward to shopping for my good boys and girls. Can't wait to get my assignments. I've already starting researching cool gifts but suppose I should wait to see what's on my victim's wish list. This is unusual for me to say -- but I can't wait to shop!!!!

Since I make my living at Handmade Artisan Markets, I appreciate this! 3 Trips to Alberta in next few weeks :-)

Anyone shipping to me - please note that I will be on the road for 6 weeks until a couple of days before Christmas, so I won't be able to confirm gifts receipts until then. And you'll notice that they are going to an address on the other side of the country :-) 'cause that's where I'll be for Christmas :-)

I will ask for updates from my niece when parcels arrive so I can post that I received something from so-and so or at least a city/country.

And my gifts will go out early December - I'll be shopping while I'm "working".

Already made a short list of ideas - I love Christmas Shopping!

Whereabouts in Alberta are you visiting? Have fun! It's going to be a chilly one.

If they get sent to my alternate address, I may just have to make an unplanned trip there before Christmas.

Count me in!

I signed up for five people but since I'm a long time lurker who hasn't built up a very large post count, I'm not expecting to get all five (although if I do, it'll be a pleasant and welcomed surprise). I'm interning at Disney World now, so gifts galore here. Narrowing it down to what I'll actually get for people will be a *big* challenge.

Gift Arrived!

Thank You to my Secret Santa from Australia!

I will enjoy the lovely spa package very much :-)

I'll be in Toronto for all of January, so perfect. (minus the 10 days on the beach somewhere tropical).

I need to ask everyone to be mindful to check their SPAM folders on a regular basis.... people are sending items that are being delivered via email. Already had one case where it went to the Santee's spam mailbox!
