Hi Dawn,
My name is Tania Pembroke. I would love to participate in the gift exchange.
I live in Coral Springs, Florida and have a husband named Jerry and three
children of the furry variety. I am a Jazzercise Instructor by trade. I am
interested in all periods, but so far have only worked with the Elizabethan
period due to that being the only reenactment opportunities in this area. My
mailing address is as follows.
Tania Pembroke
9811 Westview Dr. #914
Coral Springs, Florida 33076
Thanks for putting this opportunity together.

Subject: [h-cost] reminder -- 2006 H-COST Holiday Gift Exchange
Folks,
I've already got 25 people signed up. If you'd like to play and you haven't
sent me an email, please do so soon. The sign-up deadline is Friday. If you
have sent me mail, don't worry, I will confirm with everyone over the weekend.

Welcome to the 2006 H-COST Holiday Gift Exchange.
**PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE MESSAGE CAREFULLY BEFORE RESPONDING***
Please DO NOT reply to the List. Please address all replies to me at [EMAIL
PROTECTED] Be sure to add my email to your spam filter so that I can reply to
you with your exchange information.
Please leave the H-COST header intact in your reply so your message does not
end up in the spam-trap. If the phrase "H-COST" does not appear in your subject
line I will not get your message.
_What we're doing. _
We will be exchanging small costume and sewing related gifts with each other.
To participate you must sign up (below). There are rules, so that everybody
knows what is expected of them, but I want this to be fun so I am keeping the
rules simple. If you want to participate, please read this entire message.
The Sign-up Deadline is October 14. The Mailing Deadline is Dec.8th. We're
starting earlier based on feedback from last year. Sometime after Oct 14 I will
begin sending people their assignments. That's a crazy week for me, so don't
panic if I'm a little late. :)
_The Rules._
1. You are responsible for completing your end of the exchange on time. Please
be sure you can follow through on your committment.
2. Gifts should be sewing or costume related. Gifts may be hand-made for the
recipient, or purchased, or may be items you already have. Gifts should be
clean and in good condition and suitable for giving. You will be given
guidelines to help you choose a gift for your recipient.
3. Gifts should be in the $10-$15 US range, and no more than that. (8-12
euros). It's ok if you can get something on sale or make something from
supplies you already have. Second-hand books in good condition are ok. We all
know how many desireable but out-of-print titles are out there.
4. Please wrap your gift item. Last year many participants said they would like
the gift to be a surprise, and will wait to open it. You do not have to use
seasonal holiday paper, plain tissue or pretty fabric is just fine.
5. Plan to mail your gift early. Remember that it will cost you postage on top
of what you spent on the gift. Small and lightweight objects are generally
cheaper to mail. If you are mailing overseas you may have to fill out a Customs
Declaration.
6. After the sign-up period I will create a list of all participants so that I
can stay in touch with you and send reminders. Email should be addressed to me,
or to this list and not to H-Cost.
7. Each person who joins will be randomly matched up with one person they will
send a gift to. I will try not to match you with the same person as last year.
Someone else will send a gift to you. For example, Ann will send to Bob. Bob
will send to Clara. Clara will send to Ann. This way each person will meet two
H-Costumers by giving and receiving. You will know who you are sending to, but
not who is sending to you.
_Join Now!_
1. To join you must send me your name and mailing address. Please reply to me
at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and NOT to the H-Cost list. The sign-up period ends Oct
14.
2. Introduce yourself. Tell me a little bit about you, your family, your pets,
what you do -- as much as you feel comfortable sharing. It's been suggested
that you include your dress size.
3. Tell me some of your Favorite Things. What do you sew? What time period or
place interests you? Is there a favorite technique or process that you enjoy?
(weaving, dyeing, embroidery, etc.) Do you have a favorite color or theme?
4. If you live outside the US and know your Duty limit, please include it. If
you are within the US and do not wish to mail to another country, please let me
know.
I think that about covers it. If you have questions or concerns, please ask.
Dawn
