There have been three rounds of White Elephant exchange so far. I know that there have been people who missed out on receiving things in Round One and Round Two, and, sadly, some even missed out on both rounds. **Rue** curated the Elephant Preserve for Round Three, so I don’t actually know what the results of that were. It’s a bunch of fun, but I’m out, unless I can just give stuff and not get any in return (I’m drowning in li’l pacyderms over here.) ---

Oh yeah, my point: **Alice** , if you, as the Head Albino Wrangler and in the interest of fairness, want to know who has left people swinging in the wind before or repeatedly, drop me an email, because that kind ticks me off. ---

Alice, just don’t give me diku’s name. I know where he lives and I’ve already taken everything I want out of his apartment when he wasn’t looking. ---

I’ll do it. (I have no idea what it entails, but it apparently relocates my junk, er, treasures, from my house to somebody else’s.) 🙂 ---

Just checking in to say that my return home has been postponed until thursday 6/27, rather than the original date of 6/23, so, I’m still in…I’m just going to be a teeny bit later in getting my treasures shipped out, than I had originally thought. Still can’t wait! ~V ---

Ok, there’s been a slight delay. I will be sorting out all these elephantees, and elephanturs tomorrow evening. Or the following night, depending on my rather hectic schedule. In any case, you will be receiving your assignments by the end of the week. If anyone doesn’t think they can get their package ready, mailed and delivered within 6 - 8 weeks (4 is preferable), let me know as soon as possible so I can make some alternate arangements.

Ok folks. The Elephantees have been assigned! You should all receive an e-mail ASAP. If you don’t PLEASE let me know! Again - 6-8 weeks for delivery, SVP. Good luck and happy elephanting!
