A Midsummer Night's Dream (Summer 2014 Secret Santa) Discussion

[kawaiisofoxy]

Also, to answer your question, the midsummer exchange is an extension of the holiday exchange, not a whole new Secret Santa. This is why the list is open to those who participated in the Holiday 3013 Secret Santa. We've had a lot of interest, so I encourage you to follow along with the discussion thread so by the time the main holiday exchange happens, you'll be ready!

I'm curious though for the reason of the exclusion.

The midsummer nights dream exchange basically became an extension of the 2013 SS due to the members involved coming up with the idea and setting the whole thing up. The exclusion is occurring at this time as, what I would sum up, a basic test run of the summertime gift exchange. This summertime exchange modeled after SS is the first of its kind on the forum, and we want to make it runs smoothly and can be ran again in the years to follow.

I'm sorry that you will not be able to participate but we cannot change the requirements at this time. If you would like to be apart of SS 2014, continue posting and using the forum and the time will pass before you know it. Also, check out the buy/sell/trade area of the site and you can trade or swap between yourself and another member with tradeable items that you both have listed.

Finally, I hope to see your face in this years SS exchange, you'll have met all requirements to participate at that point and the more the merrier.

Urghhhh this upgrade is killing me!

I am having issues with my account since the upgrade. I've sent emails and posted in the help section to try and get them to merge my accounts or reactivate my old one. I participated in secret Santa under my old name....angienharry. Now I'm angienharry2 and don't meet the requirements. Please tell me I can still participate???

Yep, you absolutely can!

Not sure if you saw my response to your other post but Zadidoll is doing all the account merging. I'd just PM her to make sure she sees it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Yes I had already pm'd her but with it being Mother's Day I was kinda freaking out I wouldn't make the deadline. Thanks sooo much. I was looking forward to this and worried I would have to miss it.

Oh, also, if you're a Fairy who has not been in that thread in a while, please go over and confirm you're still willing to help out!  With the forum transition, I'm not sure who has come back or who might still be trying to figure things out and isn't quite up to helping out just yet.  If I don't hear back in that thread by the time the Godchild assignments go out (so Thursday or Friday, depending on whether my internet connection cooperates), I'll go ahead and take you off the list so you're not inundated with PMs from Godparents seeking Fairy assistance.  Thanks!

Hi all!  Quick question, I just looked at the sign up sheet again and it did not have any way to denote if you are willing to ship to an international person.  Since the sign ups are coming to a close, is there some way that only people who want an international swap partner will be paired with someone overseas.  Or was that data carried over from the winter swap.  Just wondering as I know time frames for mailing to other countries is longer and dealing with customs and it is usually more expensive. TIA!

Here's @'s original post on that:

 International Shipping: I'm reviewing the spreadsheet for international signups.  IF we have any, then I'll ask for volunteers to PM me.  As of right now, we only have one "international" signup but she's at an APO/AE (military) address, and shipping is the same as for the US. (I think you may even be able to use one of the Military Flat Rate boxes and save some $?)  But if you were international for the Holiday exchange, you are MORE than welcome to participate!

So it sounds like at the time, we didn't actually have any international sign ups yet. It's possible there have been some since then & if there are, we'll just be asking for volunteers.  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

ETA: That was back on 4/29.

Whoops guess I should learn to read more thoroughly!  Thanks for answering!

Oh, it's no problem! That was weeks ago & it hasn't really been discussed since then. 

I just went back through the sign up list & I think we're still at zero for international. We'll see what today brings for last minute sign ups!

I am getting excited!  Few more days and we will know who we have!  I am so ready to shop!  Have been finding such great deals but don't know if the things I like are what she will like!  Can't wait!

ME TOO! I seriously have so many things stockpiled right now 'just in case' my person would like them! 

I can't wait to shop. I feel like I'm just going to go crazy buying stuff/shopping my stash on the first day & then I'll have to wait for 6 weeks to mail it all out!

I've got Birchbox points to spend.  At the rate the warehouse seems to like to get orders out completely and correctly, I'll need every single day between now and the shipping window!

Hmmm...just found this thread! This sounds like fun! Looks like I'll have to miss out on it...I was too new last year and couldn't join the SS last year, so that makes me missing out on this one too. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Hopefully I can join the next one! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
