I happened to catch “White Elephant” on the MPSIMS “What’s New?” part of the main page and practically dived for the mouse. I’m in! Email sent! ---

I’m in! And I’m a starving writer/editor (accepting your excess, unwanted white-elephant prose submissions [here](http://www.limetea.net)), so anything I get, I’ll need, since I have nothing. ---

I’ll send some stuff 🙂 Do you think Mom would kill me if I sent these wall-things she gave me that I find absolute eyesores? Why oh why did my decorating taste have to be so different from hers! ---

Crap, I just posted in the wrong thread. I am such an idiot. But, I will happily accept anyone’s crap. If you have knitting stash ( books, stix, yarn) I will gleefully accept. I have kids ( 8 and 6, one of each) so, if you have kids, gimme your crapola and I’ll send you mine! I also have a husband, too, but he thinks we have enough crap around here. ---

[/QUOTE] DO NOT sent your husband! One is quite enough! 😃 Too bad we don’t get to choose. I have enough knitting stuff to fill a box by itself. _Someone’s_ gonna have to learn to knit! 🆒 ---

I have enough knitting stuff to fill a box by itself. _Someone’s_ gonna have to learn to knit! 🆒 [/QUOTE] Generally, whoever gets a box from me is guaranteed to get big stix and some yarn. I’ve been a knitting missionary in ever WE I’ve participated in so far. I may start to include a general “getting started” sheet as well… ---

Me! Me! I missed last year’s thread ☹ and have been collecting neat-o crap ever since. 😃 Just checking: is re-gifting allowed? Because I got something neat but not my style in last year’s office swap. ---
