Yes- keep your identity a secret for the first package and then let the cat out bag for the May package.
Enjoy!
S :)

[disneyfreakk]

I recieved my sisters name! I am SO excited. Thank you very much for hosting!

[BernardandMissBianca]

Hey everyone!!
I finally got your SS's out! Thanks for being so patient!!! :grouphug:
I hope I did that right, LOL So start shopping!! And remember your identity is a secret until MAY!!!

[mickeyfan2]

I got my name. Now to shop!!!!!

[party of 3]

yea!!!!! i got my name! now what to get.........hum........:scratchin

i'll have to read over my ?'s really good and make good decisions!!!!:coffee:

this is going to be sooo much fun:cool1:

[AlexWyattMommy]

I need to print out the answers for my SSS and then go shopping!! :woohoo:

[lewdyan1]

I already started shopping!!!:banana: This is so much fun!!!:cool1:

[mickeyfan2]

I ordered some stuff on the net today. Got myself a few things too!! ;)

[PrincessNancy96]

Okay, to clarify.. do we PM and let both of you know.. or who sent us our Secret Sis that we mailed???
Also, we are still going to report in when we get our ss items and share what we got again?
Been a bad weekend..so want to make sure I do everything right..and the blonde doesn't come out too badly this go round!

[Mickster]

Didn't we just post right here on the thread last time that we mailed and that we received?

[PrincessNancy96]

I couldn't remember... I thought I PM'd Mickeyteacher a few times too... Like I said.. bad weekend...and spilled into the week.. it's getting better...sorry to be such a bother!

[Mickster]

You are so not a bother. I just answered because I was here. Let me know if there is anything I can do to make the week a little better! :beach:

[PrincessNancy96]

Lets book a flight to the World and not tell anyone!!! That way when they panic they can see how important we are to them!!! ;)
I just couldn't remember... I think I'll get over my mood soon.. it's getting better..

[Mickster]

I would book a flight right this very second! I've had it with winter! I've had it with my house. I need some sun and WARM. :beach:

[AlexWyattMommy]

Gosh, do I remember the days when that was possible. 8 BC. Eight years before children. I would so have been right with you, booking a flight. We could save tons on a room splitting it three ways. Monorail resort anyone?

[PrincessNancy96]

Girl I would so be there... I just would love to understand why it takes a brick wall to hit some people to make them understand!!!

Plus, 3 projects due next week..and 4 tests between 2 kids..and not to mention that DD is applying for the National Jr. Honor Society... and she has listed her activities & accomplishments.. I bet they wonder how she still manages all the activities, teams and community service and still maintains her 3.8 GPA! Good thing most of the teachers know her and know what she does because 1/2 of the activities are done w/ them at the school..

[maria34a]

I could so use a trip to Disney right now!!! The warm weather, the Mouse! The Mouse, the warm weather!!!! :cloud9: What else could a girl want??? I woke up yesterday sick as a dog again :sick: sore throat, stuffies, and everything else that goes with it... This morning I get up take a shower and what happens you ask??? Yeah you guessed it, ran out of oil! In the middle of my shower! Its like 0 degrees outside and getting colder in my house by the minute! Call the oil guy and he says he will be there around 9am!!!! It's 7am and it's going to get even colder by 9!!!! :scared1: Not to mention that I am still sick... So yeah, Disney sure does sound GREAT right now!!!

OH NO!! I'm so sorry.. that would so ruin the day.. to be sick, and than run out of oil... in the winter.. :hug: :flower3: :flower3:
So, it's 11am.. has the oil guy shown up or are we going to have to have a re-con mission to devert his truck to the appropriate house???

[Faerie]

Maria you're reminding me why I don't miss living in MA during the winter. I hope you got your oil sorted!!! :hug:

[AlexWyattMommy]

:hug: Oh Maria
I am so sorry about the :sick: and the cold. We ran out of water two weeks ago (cistern). Good thing it was doing :laundy: and not a shower.

Hope the house is warmer now.

[party of 3]

just a quick ?.....

do we all mail on april 1st, or does it have to be to the person by april 1st?and do we pm the person that sent us the list and let her know that we've mailed our stuff? and won't the person figure it out by the return address? what have you done in the past?

sorry that's a bunch of ?'s.

[PrincessNancy96]

sorry that's a bunch of ?'s.

I think last time.. our target was it needed to be mailed by the 1st.. last time I made sure I mailed 2 days prior to the first... but that was me..
As for the return addy.. I used my SS's own address as the return! LOL She sent herself her own packages.. Or you could always ask one of us to borrow our addys as the return..

I think last time we just posted a little note that said.. SS's package was mailed.. in the thread.. Some of use created new little accounts to post to our ss's so that we did not give ourselves away.

[maria34a]

Oh boy this is going to be fun!!!! I have my next "victim" Hee! Hee! The Evil One Will Strike Again!!!!! They don't call me Evil for nothing!!!

By the way, thanks everyone! Got my oil and am feeling much better now! I was out 3 days last week! Am on antibiotics now and feeling GREAT!!!! Whoo! Hoo!

[AlexWyattMommy]

I already received my package from my awesome Secret Sister!!

Yes, she knows me. Now I need to figure out who it is. Sneaky sneaky, putting my own address for the return. :cutie:

[PrincessNancy96]

LOL! Return address is your own! Now that will take you forever to figure out!

Ooh! A sneak peek for next month!! How cool is that..
I need to go shopping for my SS this weekend... She has a special event coming up soon! LOL

[Faerie]

I went shopping...I need to do more shopping :D I love stuff like this

[BernardandMissBianca]

OK to clarify questions:
Yes mail by the 1st
Please either post here or send a PM to me if you are in my group or to Mickeyteacher if you are in her group. That way we don't know if our packages have been mailed. Feel free to make up aliases, some of us all ready have some. ;)
You can use my addy for a return addy or the person you are sending to. I used the addy of the person I was sending to in the last swap.

[PrincessNancy96]

Well, hello sunshine!! Where have you been?? Laundry done???
