'OFFICIAL' SECRET TRADE SIGN UP...

Should we reveal who we are when we send our package?

This is exciting, I've never done this before! :)

That is entirely up to you Mary.

Christine

Carol, please hold off on the cutting of Green Jade. It's a beauty but I am swamped with stuff I can't take care of right now. Thanks for the offer as always!
Susan

I wanna play to, sign me up.. :)

Great Tami! You're in!

Count me in too!!!

Sylvia :D

Cool Sylvia. Consider it done.

Christine

Got room for one more????? I will e-mail you all of my info.

Thanks for letting me "cut in"
Kathy

Lotsa room Kathy! I see you've emailed me already, so, you're in!

Happy Thursday!! One more day to go for registration!!

Christine

WOW people are coming out of the woodwork!

Hey Kathy (txgrdngeek) are you a HoyaHead? I've been looking for some local hoya buddies.

Susan

A want-a-be HoyaHead...I have real hard time finding them around here. Got any ideas?????

Kathy, yes I do....will email you later.

Christine, me too..I want in.
Thanks, Ingrid

Woo Hoo, Ingrid's coming on too :)

If not too late, count me in!

Gemila

Ingrid and Gemila, welcome to the Secret Hoya Trade!! I'll get your info from your emails and update the list above.

The last place in the world that it is noon today, Friday, July 15, is the deadline for entering the secret trade. Realistically, I think that's Hawaii, so that would make it 6PM EDT (which is my time).

I will send each of the participants an email on Monday, July 18th regarding who they will be sending to.

The deadline for mailing out our packages will be a week later, on Monday, July 25th.

Lets have as much fun as possible with this!!!

Christine

I'd like to join in too please Christine. I'll send you my address.

Thanks, Sandy

That's great Sandy!! You're in!

Wow Christine...there is a lot of 'Sandys' .lol....and another from BC...cool.....the list is getting long!......

Its up to 30, with a couple of "lurkers" almost ready to make their minds up.

Come On All you Hoya Holics - WE NEED MORE OF YOU!!! ONLY FOUR HOURS TO GO!!!

Christine

Well I can't participate in this round since I won't be home much due to business travels and then vacation back in the homeland for a couple of weeks thereafter. Would hate to have Hoyas wilt away in the mailbox and/or getting my trade partner ticked at me if I don't get around sending my package.
Maybe next time.

We'll miss you Milan! Have some fun on your business travels, eh.
Christine.

I'm sure whoever got your name or whoever you got would understand. I would.
:) Donna

Ok, Christine, you talked me into it. I just have to warn you that I have nothing big enough to cut on, except the plain old basic ones.

But think of the fun it'll be!! You're in jdee, thanks for joining up!!

Christine

TWO HOURS LEFT TO SIGN UP!!!!

GOING, GOING, GONE!!!

We have 30 participants in this first ever Secret Hoya Trade.

Stay tuned on Monday. I'll be sending each of you an email with the name and address of the person you'll be sending to. Have a great weekend everyone!

Christine

Wow...I can't wait. I have just gotten back from 4 days with Grandkids on Maui...just in time! Christine...you have done a great job!!! Thank you so much!!

Carol

Aw, shucks, 'twern't nuthin...lol

Thanks Carol. It sure was a learning experience.

Hope you had a great time with the Grandkids; I'm on my way to a buddy's cottage up north; if only we can get out the door without one of the cats stowing away in a bag ... lol.

Until Monday...

Christine

I'm in too.

Ok, everyone should have their trade information now. Its late for me, and I messed one up, hopefully only one, but I caught it. I'll print out all the emails tomorrow at work and double check though.

Nighty night.

Christine

I got mine....Thanks for all of your hard work.

Good Night,
Kathy

Just so you all know, I put everyones name on a little card, and put all the little cards in a little basket (its so cute!). I then had my DH draw the names, which I wrote down next to an alphabetized list of everyones names. The names drawn were totally random.

If you have any questions regarding the person you are to ship to, or their location, please email me and I'll try my best to help you out.

Christine

Thanks Kathy.

I really am going to bed now....yawn....

Christine

Got mine, Christine...you have done a STERLING job...thanks so much!!!

I'm good to go, and my tradee wants something I HAVE! Bonus! Thanks Christine...awesome job!

Karen :~D

Thanks Carol and Karen. I got lucky too, my tradee doesn't have something I've got lots of too.

I, who never drinks coffee, had two cups this, well, yesterday now, morning. Its 1:30 a.m. and I'm typing with one eye open...lol. The computer game worked.... Night again....

Christine

Thank You Christine, Your a dear for working this out for everyone!!

Jaimee

Thanks Jaimee. Its been fun for me too!
Christine

Round of applause for Christine! I am happy we have such an organized lady in our group. Thanks a million for your effort!

I got my name this morning and have wrapped my secret trade and will mail it this afternoon! I hope the recipient will have as much fun opening it as I had putting it together!

Cheers to all!
