**Today, Monday the 13th is the last day to sign up! You have until 4pm central time today to e-mail me with your info!!*
ADDED NOTE: If you are interested in having a secret pal from Canada or overseas can you please e-mail me? When I wrote all this down I forgot that there are farmgirls from all over and a few from outside the US signed up. I know that with some people postage will be an issue, so please let me know if you don't mind sending to someone from outside the US.
I posted this in Across the Fence but thought this would be a good place as well!
Okay, this should be fun! I have decided to have it run for four months since the group I was in ran for six months and that seemed a little long, some people forgot all about their secret pal. So this will start October 14th and end February 14th...you can reveal who you are to your secret pal on Valentine's Day! You must keep in contact with your secret pal at the very least once a month with a card or small package. Weekly e-mails (from a secret e-mail address) or weekly cards are encouraged. Try to be sneaky about this and NEVER reveal who you are until Valentine's Day. Once during these four months you should send a present to your secret pal. It doesn't have to be expensive or fancy, just something to let them know you care. Basically, you can send or do whatever you want but the bare minimum is a card once a month and package once during the four months. If you do not hear from your secret pal once a month please contact your group leader (either myself or Heather) and we will contact your secret pal to see what is up. You will be assigned your secret pal by a random draw and you will then be known as "Secret Pal #1, #2, #3 and so on).
Please do not sign up unless you are willing to keep to the rules. We do not want someone to end up with a bum secret pal. SIGN UP LASTS UNTIL MONDAY, OCTOBER 13th. You will receive by e-mail your secret pal's name and address on Tuesday, October 14th. E-mail me your name, address, some interests, birthday, and anniversary dates before Monday if you are interested in signing up. Thanks!!

You don't have to set up an e-mail account if you don't want to send e-mails (some people stick strictly to snail mail surprises!). But sometimes it is fun to get an e-mail back from your secret pal letting you know more about them, or that they received what you sent. And of course you can't give them your real e-mail address if it reveals who you are!!

Jill, just a reminder:
It is best to delete your latest post with all your personal info and send that to BABYSMAMA/Elizabeth.
This IS the Internet and peeps see your info here, might not be nice.
Just for your info and in your best interest!!
