Doper Ornament Exchange - 2008 Edition

I guess I’m just a sucker for this sort of thing :slight_smile:

Doper Ornament Exchange

~ 2008~
If you want to participate, email me at mamazappa @ gmail dot com (same email address as in my profile, if I enabled that correctly… my AIM ID is also there).

Rules, Requests and Suggestions

  1. In your sign-up email, include your user name, your real name, and your mailing address
  2. If you don’t hear back from me (either in the thread or by direct email) that I’ve added you to the list, remind me. If email is being wonky, this will ensure you aren’t missed.
  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 help me keep things organized in my mail folders.
  5. When you send your ornament, PLEASE wrap carefully to avoid disappointment on the part of the excited recipient
  6. Please post and/or email me when you ship your ornament and when you receive your ornament. Saves a lot of “did you get yours yet?” emails.
  7. If you sign up, and later find you cannot send anything, please let me know; this will (hopefully) reduce the chances of someone being disappointed. We’ve had a couple of no-shows - one in each of the past 2 years - and everyone’s sad when that happens.

I’ll try to send out the first batch of matches by the 3rd of December. I may be able to do another round of matches after that if we have enough interested latecomers.

Standard disclaimer: I’ve checked this out with CajunMan and SkipMagic and Marley23 and been given approval

It’ll be interesting to see what happens, given the number of longtime members who are now guests.

Anyhoo, e-mail on its way. I love the ornament exchange!

Correction - I cloned last year’s post with insufficient editing. I emailed all the MPSIMS mods; Marley23 is the one who replied. :smack:

I’m in! E-mail sent.

Oh duh - I forgot about the switch to free posting now. OK - guess the “Member” thing is no longer a requirement!!!

I love the ornament exchange! Sending the email right away!

I’m in! Thanks for organizing this!

Okay, I’ll bite! My first vaguely IRL Doper interaction…

Please count me in! The e-mail has been sent.

Woohoo! I love ornaments!

Actually, I have something of an ornament addiction. I blame my grandmother, who bought all of us kids one every year right up until I was almost out of college. It’s her fault. Yeah, that’s the ticket.

The email has been sent. Thanks a lot for doing this, it really adds to my Christmas.

Sigh… I wonder if I’m losing my mind. I distinctly remember posting, yesterday, a list of everyone who’s opted in so far.

Must have gotten distracted before I hit submit.

Count me in! I love buying & making ornaments to give away!

I can ship off on the 7th (not the 3rd) since I will have that Friday off.

One last bump. I’ll be sending out matches tomorrow at some point. If you don’t see your name on the list above, it means I never heard from you.
