Apologies to the list. I meant to send the letter to Suzi privately. That
is what sleep deprivation will do to you
Although I tend to lurk very quietly here, I'd love to join the holiday
exchange.
I'm in the UK, and have had very few problems sending and receiving stuff from
the US via customs. Given that the value is will be clearly written on any
customs slip as $10 or less, and a gift, we shouldn't be
Well, I think the response is overwhelming. The list would like to give the
gift exchange a try. May I respectfully suggest that we now let the
organizer decide how she is going to do it, then await her instructions as to
how we
give her our information?

how much would I have to slip you to make sure that Bjarne is my gift
exchange?

So how about if we *all* have Bjarne's name?
And of course then he gets all of ours :)?

envision it working something like this: folks sign up with their name,
address, and a 'favorite' (color, period, animal, technique). Each

I like the idea, too, but it might be better off if it were left
themeless. Not all of us celebrate the holidays in the same way (or for
the same reasons), or even do the same kind of sewing.
Certainly there are many religious holidays in December, and different ways
of celebrating them.
Would people choose names of recipients from the list or get randomly
drawn ones?
It would be randomly drawn.
Would we get some other info about the person so that it can kinda be a
get to know you thing also?
That's an option.
I'm open to suggestions. I'd like it to be fun for everyone
I won't have time to make anything (and most of what little I do make is
not in the token range anyway) but I have a huge stash of fabrics, art
postcards, trims, patterns, etc. that I'd be delighted to delve into, if
that's acceptable. I think I could find *something* that would be
appropriate
Oh, yeah. Put me down, too.

Right, well it looks like we have sufficient interest. :)
I'll try to answer the questions folks have asked:
My only comment is are you going to limit it to the U.S.
Anyone on the H-Cost list is invited. US and non-US members, men and
women, and especially the new members and lurkers.

I love it. Since I retired, I miss the gift exchanges we used to do at work.

Certainly, a link to any website the person has would help; a two-word
statement of costuming era or interest would also convey a lot briefly.
Long descriptions, while helpful, could become a real pain for Dawn to
maintain.

I think this is a great idea. Would a theme be helpful or too
limiting? I was thinking like Christmas ornament or costume
accessory. Hmmm, sewing notion sounds good too.

Lots of exchanges occur overseas in the Cloth Doll and Tamari
world...I'd be willing to exchange overseas.

I didn't answer because of the pedantic habits of British Customs
