I am going to think about this one. I know I said I wanted to do it and I really do, but df and I are trying to cut down on expenses so I have to be more selective about my dis exchanges. We're going to start the envelop system that Dave ramsey came up with. I don't know if you've heard of him, but he is rather amazing. daveramsey.com if you want to check him out just to see what i'm talking about. We have been very looslely following his plan for about a yr, but not super strict with it.(to get out of debt.) We are pretty much, but still have a bit to go. Okay i'm rambling. I'm going to discuss this with df tomorrow while we're dejunking my room and see if he'll allow. :) Then all I have to do is get the addy for our new apartment! (we found one hurray!) :goodvibes

:rotfl: Well, that was holiday time and a lot of people were in that situation.
It has to be better, right?
I ordered during the President's Day sale and it went well.
Hope to see you join in ::yes::

I found codes:
$10 off of $25 - DTD18 expires 3/22
$15 off of $45 - CRM803A expires 3/20
I just used the first code and it worked, but I'm unsure of the second.:thumbsup2

A lot of people order directly from Yankee Candle. They have economy shipping for $6.00. If you decide to send it priority, get a flat rate box from USPS.
I love this exchange!!!
What is an elf?
An elf is someone who is willing to send to someone who signed up for the exchange but the person who received that name didn't send. It doesn't happen too often but no one wants someone who participated and held up their end of the exchange come away with nothing.

That's true. That is the day I start looking for houses ;) I'll be thinking of you too. I am scheduled to be out looking for 3 days :woohoo: I love looking.

Wow, I almost missed this one! My PM has been sent, and I am looking forward to another exchange.
Meriweather

I think I need to send PMs to some of the past players. I hate for someone to miss that usually does them. I did send reminders to those that requested them, but this time it was only about 5.
Glad you made it Kirsten.

aww thank you...good luck looking even though its just looking:)
Meriweather

LOL....good thing I am going looking alone, or it could turn into more than just looking and it is too early for that. Need to get this house sold first and who knows how long that will take :rolleyes:

I'm sure it won't take as long as you think. At any rate good luck! I am more the buying person and Matt is more the looking person. I like that instant gratification. Lol. Like we went to hobby lobby the other day and of course I had to buy scrapbook stuff. Not anywhere near as important as a house, but served well for an example:)

;) Well, I do have final say.
I hope you find out your address before the Yankee candle exchange closes. Do you know when?

hopefully i'll find it out tomorrow...I am sick of having my exchange packages sent to my fmil's house and then having to wait on her to mosey around to ups to send it to me. She took like three days last time! She is riding my last nerve with wedding stuff. I guess her husband told her to mind her own business tonight. At least someone could tell her b/c I didn't want to. I love how we arent' suppose to invite kids yet her precious little grand daughter has to come b/c she already bought the dress. Well you knew that we weren't having kids at the wedding...in fact I think she made the rule b/c its expensive to have to pay for the kids b/c if they are old enough to sit in their own spot or whatever then they count as a person to pay or whatever. So we are charged place settings for them. Even babies you have to pay a certain rate for. Sorry for the rant totally off topic. If worse comes to worse I'll just have to once again give her addy. :goodvibes I always have final say too! Its a good thing to have that power ;)

Sorry about your MIL...your wedding, do what you want ::yes::
Only 2 days left for sign-ups. Who else wants to play with us. We have 20 so far. We had 29 last spring.
