The 2008 Birthday Exchange is closed!!!

I'm going to keep this open for a couple of weeks, then match everyone. So those that have birthdays in January should be able to get their packages in time.

What is this?
You sign up and I hook you up with a birthday partner. Your partner will send you a goodie to help make your birthday extra special. Your partner is kept secret from you until you open your package (or perhaps forever if your partner is extra secretive!)

What are the "rules"?
1. You send your partner a goodie for their birthday. It does not have to be a wishlist book, it can be anything. For ideas on what your partner likes, check out the Favourites thread.
2. This is international, no shipping preference is given. That being said, I will try my best to not make you send overseas for all of your partners.
3. This is a year long commitment. If you CANNOT commit to this, DO NOT sign up. You would not like it very much if someone did not come through on their commitment to send you a gift, so don't do it to someone else. I am going to be strict on letting those that do not honour their commitments into this exchange, because I do not want anyone to be left out in the cold.
4. You can select the number of gifts you want to send out, from 1 to 3. The number you send out is the number that you will receive.
5. Once signups are closed, they are closed for the year!

What would be nice
It would be very much appreciated if you could PM me once you have sent out the gift to your birthday partner so I can keep track.

What I need from you
Please post here saying you are signing up, then send me a PM with:
1. Your birthday
2. Your address
3. How many parcels (1-3) you wish to send out.

You can see all the fun we had in the 2007 Birthday Exchange.

(Please make sure you see your name in this list once you have signed up! If you haven't, let me know because I may have accidentally skipped over you)

Me too!!

Can you add me please. :lol:

I'm still debating. :thinking:

Why? Join!!

You can do only 1 if you want.

Just a reminder, this is *supposed* to be a non-restriction exchange. Please try not to send me restrictions. I said I would do my best with not making you send overseas more than once. But the more restrictions you give me, the less random and more time consuming this becomes for me.

And you are.... ? :blink:

Hi there! I'm in. I'll PM you now.

Me please!

I suppose I could do one. :wink:

I believe it was peachy. :erm:

I should have everyone up to here.

I had a wonderful time last year so definitely sign me up again. Will pm you now with the info.

Me! I'll send you my info when I get back home...we're just on our way out!

yes please - sending info now :)

Me too, please! :wave:

Yep it was me. I forgot I had logged out after the fact of sending thet note. Had to run and sign in again and repost. Ya know how it is when the brain goes and forgets what the rest of the body is doing-haha!!

Oh! Me please! :D

I just missed the deadline for the 2007 exchange and was vewy vewy sad... :cry: :P so I would definitely like to play next year. PMing you now.

(I will need all the morale support I can get to handle my next birthday...I'm going to be ffff...fffooo...um, that number that comes after 39, and I'm not really looking forward to it...mind you, I got hit on in the grocery store yesterday, so I suppose I'm not quite decrepit yet... :rofl: )

40 :whip:

:wave:

I'd like to play.

I'll send the pm right now.

Hey the 40's are great. I turned 41 this last birthday. Mom didn't think my birthday was so great though. Of course my reminding her that my brother turns 40 in another 2 years might of done that.

I'll be 35 on my next birthday. Where'd the last 20 years go? :blink:

I'll be 35 my next birthday too Cheesy! :hug:

Alrighty, I missed out last year too, so go ahead and sign me up!

Well I have you all beat cause I will be 40+ on my next bday. :P :lol: :rofl:

Another 35 year old to be, here. :unsure:
You'd better count me in too. :P

Hey all you 30+ yr olds, you all are stll young. Though I'll 42 my next b-day, I have to say as great as my 30s were the 40's are turniong out even better.

We need some September babies!! That's the only month I'm missing right now.

My mom's getting like that too! :lol:

Until a few years ago, she was always telling me, "Oh, don't be silly, you're not old, (insert current age) isn't old!"

She doesn't say that anymore... :rofl:

The last time I asked her how she liked having a daughter who was almost 40, I think she changed the subject. :D And in a few years, my *younger* sister will be 40. She won't like it when her youngest child is 40.

But who am I kidding, my mother is 63 and looks 50. What does she have to worry about?

I want to be in this, too!

I was wayyyyy too late for the 2007.... and very jealous :P

pm'ing you now

:hug:

I will reach the round (horrible) age of 30 in 2008!

For anyone who gets stuck with me as their partner....I will not be avaliable for a week around my birthday. I intend on being in Prague with alot of alcohol! :evil:

30 is great! It's like the pressure's off or something, I can't explain it! I'm much happier in my 30's than I ever was in my 20's, seriously!
