I have just officially signed up for my first time. My items are a bit generic perhaps (without knowing anything at all about the recipient), though I did spend time finding them. The vendors were very impressed when I explained how the FT Santa scheme works!

SANTA ALERT:

The first round of assignments are about to go out.... it has been more complicated this year to pair people up.

Few things:

1. Not everyone will receive an assignment in this first round... I have to hold back a few to help pair up with people who sign up between now and November 2nd.

2. I apologize in advance if anyone gets a repeat assignment. After this many years, it is almost impossible for me to check the spreadsheet from every year to ensure repeats do not happen.

3. Some of you had requests I just could not fulfill. Some of you requested people who did not sign up or wanted specific locations or other restrictions. I did the best I could with the information/members I had to work with at this time.

4. If there is a problem with your assignment, please let me know ASAP.

The timing on this was fantastic - thanks wharvey! Now my giftees can be incorporated into my travel plans!!

Big hugs to the one who gave lots of hints ... to the one who didn't, well ... I'll do my best but you sure gave me the most paltry of info to work with!! :P

I assume that would also explain why even if some had requested multiple assignments, they only received one?
