Thanks to those of you who already signed up for a secret sister and PMed or gave me your address!

fishdr... my name is pronounced like "lah-nee" - it's hawaiian (rhymes with bonnie). how's your name pronounced? it's spelled so close to mine. thanks so much for helping smiley with how to PM me her address! very sweet of you as i couldn't get to the computer til tonight.

KnottedYet... good question about sending it anonymously. i didn't participate in the last one, so can someone who participated in the last one pipe in? I'm guessing secret sister is like secret santa, but does the post office allow the mailing of anonymous packages these days? i'd kinda like to know who sent me stuff so i can get to know them more, but that's just my 2 cents.

iFKA... i think the idea behind switching secret sisters each month was so that newbies could participate sooner and that people could opt out or in sooner due to finances for the month. i totally understand about the cost of postage from croatia though. i personally don't have an issue if you want to have the same secret sister for a few months to save on postage costs. i could just tell whoever ends up in charge of july and as well as august that you already have a secret sister that you sent stuff too for those months, but will need secret sisters to send you stuff. hopefully it won't end up being too confusing though. thoughts anyone?????

Polly... while i didn't participate in the last secret sister, ditto what nanci said. all countries welcome and not necessarily matched with a sister from the same country, as it's hard to guarantee that there will be an even amount of people from each country. hopefully you're still interested in participating.

Anyway, thanks for playing everyone and keep the sign ups coming! Oh, and if you signed up but haven't PMed me your info (i.e. you haven't got a PM from me), please do so when ya get the chance. Otherwise, I'll bug ya around cut off time.

LL - We pronounce our names the same - cool!
edit: I'm a dork - I saw "lah" and thought "lay". I pronounce my name lay-nee. Duh...

My gift was ordered from TE, so they were the return address.

In the last SS swap, I used my actual address, but put SS for name. I figured that the recipient could figure out who I was if they really wanted to search, but not if they didn't want to know.

[mtbdarby]

I'm in - I'll PM my info shortly.

[Bad JuJu]

Sounds like great fun--thanks for running it, LL!
I'm sending you my info.

Just a reminder that if you want to participate in the June Secret Sister, the cut off date to sign up is this Sunday May 21st.

Thanks to those of you who want to participate and already signed up! If you want to participate and haven't signed up yet, please PM me your mailing info.

Thanks,
Lani

Just wondering what the word was with this.

[mtkitchn]

For those of you who signed up to participate in the June Secret Sister, check your Private Messages for your SS info. PM me if you previously signed up and didn't get one cause I space cadeted and messed up.

Sorry it took a few days... I planned to blast it out Tuesday evening but there was a serious power outage in my 'hood that lasted for almost 12 hours.

The theme for June was water bottles (if you can find something local to your area all the better, but no worries if not) and a favorite snack. Try and mail your packages in the first week of June or so, so that everyone can get their surprises.

Thanks for playing everyone! Does anyone want to handle the July Secret Sister signup? Otherwise I can do it for another month.
