The names have been drawn!

Log in to Elfster to see who you got.=) Everyone should have gotten somebody, if not let me know.

When you get your person, please e-mail me their name and e-mail (if they have left one on Elftser) so I can get you their address and blog.


Then you can start shopping!

Two important reminders..

When you send the gift please mark somewhere on the package "SS" or secret santa, so folks know what the package is.

Also, I would like for everyone to save their gifts to open on the holiday of their choice. I just think that it would be more fun that way.

Elfster Extended till MONDAY!

So I know I said in my e-mail, I'd like to try and have the drawing on Sunday, however there are two left (I believe) that haven't yet signed up. I am going to give them one more day. After that though I am going to have to go through with it.

That being said, you should be be able to start buying for your person by monday at the earliest, or depending on how soon you e-mail who you got for your SS so I can send you their address.


and I really want to post more than SS updates to my blog, but I'm tiiiiiiired.

SECRET SANTA UPDATE!

So it has nearly been two weeks since I started the Secret Santa and I have gotten ten participants thus far!

WOOOOOOOOOO!


Again, thank you all that have signed up so far.


I am going to leave it open until SUNDAY, so more folks can join if that wish. So be sure to spread the word tell others about this if you haven't already. After all, the more the merrier.

SECRET SANTA!

IT IS TIME FOR.....

THE BASEBALL BLOGGERS SECRET SANTA!

I have decided to go ahead and start it now. I know it may seem early, but that is because this is going to be done via the internet there are a few steps involved and I want to get started with them now.

There are a few other things I need you to do if you wish to participate.

First leave your e-mail. I need this so I can sign you up for the secret Santa program. Unfortunately it doesn't look as if you can log on and enter your own e-mail.

I also need you to e-mail me your mailing address, the e-mail you signed up with for the secret Santa, as well as a link to your blog or website.

As to why I am asking for your address, it is because you would end up having to ask the person when you mail the gift, thus ruining the SECRET part. I promise not to share with anyone but the person who gets your name.

When you get your person, you will need e-mail me their e-mail/name and I will give you the address. (this will take placer later)

As you can see a lot of steps involved. Mainly for me, but I have no life so it should be well. I don't see an easier way. If you do let me know. Again, I WANT to do this.

Here is what I need you to do now

STEP 1: Leave your e-mail

STEP 2: Send me an e-mail with your

E-MAIL ADDRESS (the one you will use for the secret santa)

MAILING ADDRESS

BLOG/website

USERNAME/ ( or the name you tend to use on blog)

I will leave this open for two weeks. That should be enough time for folks to sign up. Please be sure to tell fellow bloggers as I'd like everyone that wanted to; to participate

If you have any questions please let me know.

REMINDER!

Please don't sign up if you don't think you are going to commit to buying and shipping a gift. It isn't going to be fun for the person you have to get jiffed

The gift has to be baseball related and needs to be under twenty dollars. Also, NO wish list. Do some sleuthing.

Secret santa for baseball bloggers?!

This may be a tad early, but I had an idea I wanted to toss out and see what others thought.

A secret santa for baseball bloggers.

Ok, so forgive me if this has been proposed before. I'm still new and haven't been around long. I also looked through a few blogs and didn't see anything.

I assume you know how secret santa works. You pick a name from a hat (or in this case from an online program) and you have to buy the person you picked a gift.

I was thinking that the gift would have to be baseball realted however. Or at the very least card related. Rather that be a pack of cards, or a card of favourite player, stickers, or whatever. The gift can be funny or serious, it just has to be realted to either baseball, or sports cards.

Also, there would be a limit. Not evreyone is made out of money and I'm not aiming for this to be a big ordeal.

For now this is simply at an idea phase. More to gauge interest. If people like it, then I'll move on to more concrete plans such as setting a date, limit/etc.

Now onto the..... QUESTIONS

First of all would anyone be at all intrested in doing this? Or for that matter what do you think of the idea?

What should the limit be? I was thinking nothing over tweenty really, maybe even ten dollars. There are a lot of items you can find for a fairly good price if you bother to look.

Should there be a wish list? Or should people try and sleuth around for the person they get and get them a “surprise"

Any suggestions or advice?
