Fall Crop Weekend - Secret Pal Swap

Secret Pal Swappers from our Summer Crop Weekend 2009

One of the highlights of our crop weekends is definitely the Secret Pal Swap!!!  So as not to disappoint, we are planning a secret pal swap at our Fall Crop Weekend!!  It will be tons of fun, and work like any Secret Santa/Secret Sister program.  Here is a brief overview of what you will need/want to do…

You will get information on another scrapper coming to the weekend.  You may or may not know them, but either way, you’ll want to keep yourself secret!!!  You’ll want to make your secret pal feel very special by giving her gifts before and (especially) during the weekend.  You may want to send her a card or 2 before hand, buy her some scrapping supplies (I think chocolate counts for this, too!!) to give her during the weekend, and don’t forget - hand made gifts are always fun too!!  We suggest keeping the total amount of money that you spend around $40.  Keep in mind, someone will be giving YOU gifts all weekend too!!!  On Saturday night, we will have a “reveal”, so you can finally introduce and/or reveal yourself to your secret pal as well as find out who your pal was.

To participate, please send me a PRIVATE EMAIL (don’t let everyone know you are participating!!) by October 24th.  (Don’t worry I’ll be posting reminders!!)  Your secret pal will be given to you on or about October 30th and you will receive a questionnaire at that time with details about your secret pal.  If you have any questions, please email me (or if they are general questions, please feel free to leave a comment below).

Please note a few recommendations for participating in the secret pal swap:

• you'll want to be attending at least for Saturday, as Saturday night at 11PM will be the big reveal.

• we will do our best to match you up with scrappers who have the same package as you (so if you are not at the crop on Friday, your secret pal will also be someone who is not there on Friday)

• usually people like to get lots of little gifts, as opposed to one big one, but it is up to you how you "give"
• be creative & have fun and you'll be sure to leave the crop with a few new friends!!!!

Please make sure you come back to our blog often, as we will be posting reminders and other important crop info, especially as the crop gets closer.  If your friends have not visited us yet, you’ll want to tell them to now.  

Don’t forget – to join this swap, you need to send a PRIVATE EMAIL to joanie3@hotmail.com.  I will then send you a questionnaire to fill out & return to me so your secret pal will know a little bit about you!!!

Have fun with this!!!
