    SS Thoughts

    Mountain Puddles, thanks so much for thinking of this and getting it started. As I finished reading through the 7 pages I started laughing: is this getting confusing yet??lol. It seems like this could be a handful for one person to do so I thought maybe there were some ways to make this a little easier:

    1. Do it month-by-month: Start a May SS sign up thread with a cut off date of say, April 21st. That way if people are traveling, or strapped that month they can opt out without upsetting the apple cart. Likewise, newcomers could join. And you would get a new SS every month to get to mix up shipping and getting to know someone else.

    2. Give an option of things per month that's preset: ex, Dec - biking ornament &/or a pix of your SS, Jan - cold weather item &/or a postcard of your town/state/country, Feb - something with hearts and/or your favorite energy bar/snack, March - socks &/or something green, April - a spring item &/or chocolate etc. Or keep a standing option of anything bike related between $10-15 like someone suggested.

    3. Maybe do a round robin of who's heading it up for the month so mountainpuddles doesn't get stuck doing it all the time.

    4. Items to be shipped by the end of the first week of the month.

    5. A new thread of who's received their gifts so we know that everyone got theres and because I'm nosey and like to hear what others got and if my SS liked her gift! I think it's a good way to get to know each others personal preferences better too.

    Any thoughts/comments??

    I like your ideas. I stayed out of it when Sectret Sisters started up because I have a variable income and I knew there'd be some months I wouldn't have any spare cash, so I particularly like the idea of being able to opt in and out as the blasted finances dictate.

    Sounds great to me!

    Can I please get my SS to send something to? I feel so guilty wearing these great "good dog" socks and warding off all the bad doggies out there (thank you again SS) and not being able to reciprocate the kindness to my SS!

    Great!!

    Okay Sisters.... Who wants to be in charge of June? The plan is everyone will keep their sister one more month. In June everyone will get a new one. So please if you don't have a secret sister, you have to wait until June. Thanks, Becky
