October Secret Sister Sign up and theme choosing.

[DDH]

I have a quick question on the SS thing. Do we tell our identies to our SS when we send the items or do we still keep it secret? Since this is my first time, I wasn't sure.

Thanks LS for the secret sister info. Hmmm. Wonder who she is on line ... All I know is her real name and shoe size. Nothing about favourite colour or animal or whether she's addicted to coffee or chocolate or ... Shopping will be a fun challenge. I'm off to town tomorrow to see what I can find that will appeal to a total stranger. Fun!

You know I didn't put my screen name in the sign up.... Hmm.... Hope this doesn't cause any stress for my SS.

I already started shopping today. I will not be behind this month, it is traveling a long way!!

I started shopping today too, I am excited, but lordy, I'm so nervous that I will get something that I like but they won't. I hope she likes what I got. I'm not done, but I have started and it was stressful and fun at the same time, if you know what I mean. I've gone through her post looking for hints, favorite colors, misc, and nothing. Hopeully my taste will be okay. LOL

How can someone not like something you took the time and effort to pick out? It's not about the color or the gift, it's about sharing. We've become a nation of gift certificates and "you can always take it back". It really annoys me when I hear the commercials after Christmas..."Didn't get what you wanted, well for only....". Geeez, we have expectations for gifts? I'm not even crazy about the posts on here where people are telling their ss's what to get them. If you have to have a certain pair of socks, just get them yourself!

You are having a wonderful time, you are taking a lot of time and making a huge effort for your ss. Don't stress yourself out over it. You obviously are having a blast doing the ss thing. It's the fact that someone was thinking of me that will make me love whatever I receive!!!!
