Rumba Rue Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Yup, it's that time again. Things to remember: 1. There is no price limit 2. Be sure and get your gift to your person in a timely manner Every year we have 1 or 2 people who slack off and don't get their gifts in the mail until after Christmas and some have never received anything. This really isn't a good way to be a good pirate, so if you're in money straights, please don't sign up for this. 3. Names will be drawn randomly, if you have participated in the past, I may still have your address, if you have moved, give me your new one - PM me for that. 4. The cut off date for participating is November 25 (the day before Thanksgiving) in order for all who wish to participate to have time to get gifts and sent to the snail mail. I will PM you as to who you will be a Secret Santa for on the 28th of Nov. Any further questions, feel free to ask. Rumba Rue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Handed Jill Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Ummm... it's ultimately up to Rumba, but this is typically limited to folks who have been Pub members for a year or more or can be vouched for by someone who has been here awhile.

Rumba Rue Posted October 24, 2009 Author Share Posted October 24, 2009 To PM a person, click on their name above their avatar, and it will bring you to their personal page. You will see an area to the left under the picture that says, "send me an email", that's a PM. Yes, I did forget to mention that this is open to Pub members who have been here at least one month or longer. Though I will make exceptions to the rule as with Badger. (Man you owe me!

(hey (and you know who you are)... I still use the coffee cup and wear the tee-shirt.... but it was just soooo much....thank you...) If I play again... I will make something... I like doing that...But when it says "spending..unlimited"...... woh....I have a problem with that..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Cassandra Seahawke Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Patrick, there be no reason for any feel'n on that line.

Rumba Rue Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 I'm sorry Patrick that I made you feel so bad, but I have to admit, I admire you so much I wanted to give you all sorts of goodies because of it. I didn't want you to think you didn't deserve it, because you did and I still feel you do! You are a wonderful person who has talents far beyond anything I can do and I respect you for it. So don't feel ashamed or embarrassed because I sent you so much. It's the kind of person I am, I love to give especially when I have so much to give of myself to those who I feel deserve it. So don't ever feel bad if you get lots of goodies from me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Regarding Lady Cassandra's question, I will be drawing names after Thanksgiving and then you'll get a PM from me with who will the person you will be a Santa for. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Coastie, I still need your address. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Remember, the deadline to join in is Wednesday, Nov.25, the day before Thanksgiving.

Duchess Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Patrick, I got the ditty bag. It was and is still awesome. I use it to carry all of my more period games. Cards, dice, bones, etc. I love it. And it made me a bit embarrassed for what I'd sent out that year. Rumba, good luck running the show this year. I had a blast doing it last year, with nary a problem to be seen. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like doing that...But when it says "spending..unlimited"...... woh....I have a problem with that..... Cheap!?! Far from it! You make so much of your own stuff (and for that I both admire and envy* you) that you may not be aware of the cost of hand made goods. Patrick, I for one (but I do believe I speak for many when I say this) would be proud to have a Patrick Hand Original among my kit! Now, if the idea of the game is to make something, folks might not be as happy with what I would have to send. So each brings what strengths and talents the author of all that is good has granted them: Some for makin', some for shoppin'. So, are ye in? *And I do mean envy in only the nicest of ways; your projects have more than once spurred me to improve my kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
