re: [h-cost] Holiday Gift Exchange
Dawn, It's a pity some people have to spoil something wonderful by failing to follow thru on their commitments. Thank-you for running it (and for doing the thankless job of pestering) both years. It was as much fun putting the gift boxes together, as it was to receive a box of treasures, --cin Cynthia Barnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [h-cost] Holiday Gift Exchange To: Historical Costume [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since some of you have asked... I will not be running this again this year. It was fun last year and I enjoyed doing it, until it got to be January and some folks hadn't mailed out their exchanges yet. And then it got to be February and I was still chasing people. Then it came to be March and a couple folks never received anything from their partners. So... if somebody else wants to pick this up and run with it, more power to you. You're welcome to it with my blessing, and I wish all participants a happy holiday of their choosing. :) Dawn ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

Re: [h-cost] Holiday Gift Exchange
I'm sorry that the Gift Exchange won't be happening this year. Even though my gift didn't show up last year, I did get a tremendous gift the first year - a new friend. My Secret Santa and I have become friends and are hoping to actually meet each other next year at an SCA event. :-) Thanks so much Dawn! I appreciate all the time you put into organizing the exchange. With warmest regards, kate Dawn [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: All, Since some of you have asked...

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.
