Doper Ornament Exchange ~ 2006 ~ If you want to participate, email me at mwg @ radix dot net (same email address as in my profile, if I enabled that correctly… my AIM ID is also there). Rules, Requests and Suggestions 1. Must be a member to participate (no “Guests” please). 2. In your sign-up email, include your user name, your real name, and your mailing address. 3. If you are willing to ship internationally, please so state. 4. In any email to me, please put “SDMB Ornament Exchange” in the subject line, as well as your SDMB username. This will reduce the chances of your email being inadvertently round-filed with the “V-one-at-gra” emails 🙂 5. When you send your ornament, PLEASE wrap carefully to avoid disappointment on the hands of the excited recipient 6. Please post and/or email me when you ship your ornament and when you receive your ornament. I’ll try to send out the first batch of matches by the 4th of December. I may be able to do another round of matches after that if we have enough interested latecomers. Standard disclaimers: - I’ve checked this out with CajunMan and SKipMagic and been given approval - I’ve also checked with laina\_f who so kindly ran this last year to make sure I wouldn’t be duplicating any efforts ---
