Ok, I’m signing up, but as a newbie to the whole white elephant thingie, how much craaa…er…stuff is acceptable? I’d hate to short change someone ☹ Or am I just making this way too much work for something that mindless fun. ---

I’ll play - I need to get rid of the stuff I got in the LAST Packagederm Exchange!! 😃 My e-mail account is acting up, but I’ll get one sent to you from one account or another. Oh, and a small request - if you’re going to include chocolate in a package to me, please make sure it’s edible! Last round, I received a mess o’ three-year-old Hershey Kisses - what a cruel trick to play on a choholic!!! \ ---

Ah hell, why not? I’ll send an e-mail off in a sec. One thing, however. I am going to be across the country until the 23rd, so, I won’t be able to package up, and send, my amazing treasures until after that date. ~V ---
