sign ups due by 5/30/13 names will be swapped on May 31st..and gifts need to be sent to your partner by June 20th so they can receive them by the end of the month.

I will need all of your contact information

real name
forum name
address
phone number
e-mail address
and for contact purposes the name and number of someone who I can contact in the event I can't get ahold of you... this will serve two purposes.. one, we will be able to find you and know you are alive and well and two, in the event you can't communicate for whatever reason someone can fill us in or go check on you...I will not share this information....

I will need the above information before signing you up for this swap..

in addition to the above the rules are....

from the time you get your pal's name to mailing day you have 20 days to send something...please do not put this obligation off till the last minute... when you sign up it is an obligation and if you are late or if you fail to send a gift (gift certificates are acceptable) you will be asked to step aside for the next 3 SP swaps....

if, after sitting out for three swaps you are late or fail to send again you will be asked to sit out in this and any other swap I host...

Yes, emergencies arise... that is why I asked for an emergency contact person...and why I suggest you keep a few little gifty things on hand to send in the event you can't make it to the store...

I have heard quite a few excuses in my other swaps...my husband forgot to mail the package... it got lost under a pile of whatever, it fell under the car seat, etc.... if I can't contact you an emergency contact person should help in this area as well..

PM me as soon as you mail your package (or send your gift certificate)if I don't hear from you by the 20th of the sending month I will be contacting you or your contact person...to find out what happened.

PM me as soon as you receive your package if I don't hear from you by the end of the sending month I will be contacting you or your contact person...to find out what happened.

also, upon receiving your package post a note on this secret pal thread that you received it so that your pal knows it was received, if you'd like you can also share pictures...

remember we all have different budgets... this isn't a swap to join if you are expecting a ton of presents to flow through your mail box... it is a swap to join if you like to get a little something in the mail and get to know someone a little better... be thankful and appreciative...

when sending your package the post office adds, at no additional cost to you, a delivery confirmation number to your receipt... make sure you keep your receipt...

in the event your package doesn't show up and you don't have the confirmation number from your receipt I will assume you didn't send anything and you will sit out for three swaps...

if you do have the confirmation number from your receipt and your package fails to show up you will get to participate in the next swap providing you give me the tracking number so we can see where the package is.

also, you must be a posting member of this forum for at least 3 months to participate... Vinae and I often talk and exchange information.. if she or I don't know you I will ask that you not join this swap, wait till we see you participate in the forum....

I think this pretty much covers it... I run a pretty tight swap... we can "what if" till the cows come home but in the end it's an obligation and it needs to be taken seriously...if you are a person who can't send on time or if you think my rules are to strict please don't sign up for one of my swaps...
