Hi everyone,

2007 is well underway, and we're going to take a shot at another round of Secret Pals. I'll be accepting sign-ups through at least February 14, but possibly later -- to make sure there's a good mix, the round won't start until we have at least five people. I hope that we'll be able to get underway by the end of the month.

How it works is:

• To sign up, PM me your information (details below, but basically your address and a coupon wishlist.)
• Once we have enough people I'll randomly assign you a Secret Pal from the group, and send you his/her address and wishlist.
• Every week for five weeks, you'll send a package with a small gift and at least 20 coupons to your Pal, and you'll receive one from the person who has you. The gift can be an item from your stockpile, free samples, an inexpensive item you purchase, etc, or use your imagination to send something you think your SP will enjoy receiving.

THE FINE PRINT
If you'd like to participate in this round, please PM me with the following details:

• Your real name and mailing address
• Optional: an email address, if it's more reliable to reach you via email than via PM.
• Your wishlist or a link to it (a link in your siggy won't come through -- it needs to be in the body of the pm). You are not guaranteed to get coupons from your wishlist, but the more you list the better your chances of getting ones you can use.
• A list of the stores you shop at. Please indicate which (if any) double coupons and up to what amount.
• Whether you can use Pet, Baby and/or Diet coupons.
• Any other information/preferences/etc that you'd like the person who gets you to know.

By signing up you are agreeing to:

• Send a package with a small gift and at least 20 coupons to your Secret Pal each week for five weeks. The round will begin once we have at least five participants (and no earlier than Feb 14). You'll receive your Pal's information at least 5 days before the first package is due to be mailed.
• Make an effort to send at least some coupons from your SP's wishlist each week.
• Post to this thread each time you receive your package from your SP.
• Contact me (sdoty) via PM if you aren't going to be able to mail out on time, or don't receive an envie from your SP.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!
Susan
