Did I already sign up?

The sign-up deadline is Tuesday, November 1st. If you have not sent me your mailing address and introduction (see below) you are not signed up. Dawn Welcome to the 2005 H-COST Holiday Gift Exchange. Please DO NOT reply to the List. Please address all replies to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please leave the H-COST header intact in your reply so your message does not end up in the spam-trap. _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 November 1st. The Mailing Deadline is Dec.19th. _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. Plan to mail your gift in early to mid December. 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. 5. After the sign-up period I will create a mailing list for 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. 6. Each person who joins will be randomly matched up with one person they will send a gift to. Additionally, 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 November 1st. 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 reply to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and NOT to the H-Cost list.
