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

[meaganola]

Ugh, it's 90 degrees and sunny here! This is the sort of weather that triggers migraines, visual disturbances, and migraines for me. But! This will put me in a better mindset to pick things out because I will be thinking about whether they will melt! (Also, SO GLAD I set up my portable air conditioner in my bedroom over the weekend. I'm turning that sucker on full blast as soon as I get home. None of this staying up until midnight hoping to get my bedroom below ninety degrees this year!)

(Also, a warning: I feel a Eurovision obsession wanting to take hold. Yes, I know the winner was just announced. This merely means that videos will be easier to track down now.)

Start wherever feels natural! Fandom works.

Is it bad that I've already ordered 90% of my fairy god child's gifts?

Nope. I'm setting up now with the hope of getting it out in the next few weeks. It's already 90 here and I'm worried if I wait much longer things will melt. Also things are going to be crazy for me from like Jun 5 on and I don't want to be worrying about missing the deadline.

So how does the fairy thing work?? We can ask whatever we want?

I believe you just hop on over to the fairy casting lounge and pick your girl, that way you can have her ask anything that you need.

Yay it is finally here!  I was so suprised when I got to work this AM and saw the PM from @ I was so nervous to scroll down and finally find out who my giftee is!  So many ideas!  Have to remember there is still time left!

Yup!  We do ask that requests of the "hey, fill out your survey/dreamlist!" nature go through @, @, or me, but if we're talking about, say, "If I were to buy you a t-shirt, what size would I buy?" or "What are the dimensions of a package that would be left for you and not require you to either be home or go pick it up?" then that's *totally* a Fairy thing!

(And on behalf of the procrastinators/easily distrac-- Squirrel! around here who thought they had until tomorrow evening before matches went out, please allow us until then to post our surveys/dreamlists!  I'm one of these people.  I had fully expected to work on mine tonight and get it up before the match PMs went out.  Oops!)

Great sounds good! I'm way excited for more stalking and some shopping /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I realized I had some exact items in my meh stash that are my gals list of faves! Good start so far!

 

[tacehtpuekam]

Just a friendly reminder to pretty please fill out either some sort of wish list or part/all of the survey if you haven't already! Neither is mandatory, although I'm hoping my 'pretty please' will help convince everyone. I know we were all expecting a little more time since assignments went out early, but your Fairy Godmothers are antsy to shop!  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Also please note that there ARE three must-answer questions on the survey (If you do not wish to post answers to these three questions in public, please send a PM to @magicalmom). 

Any questions on anything, feel free to message me, @@meaganola, or @magicalmom. 

Here's the link to the Survey page: https://www.makeuptalk.com/f/topic/131905-midsummer-nights-dreamlist-and-survey-central-now-open/

Happy stalking/shopping/stash raiding everyone!

Sooo does anyone know if there's a way to see ALL of a person's posts?! I've been trying to figure this out for the last hour or so and I'm stumped (that probably means it's somewhere obvious). 

ETA: Because I know my fairy godmother wants to read all 2671 of my posts. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Click the find content button on their profile page. It only seemed to go back 1000 posts though ( and yes I read most of my godchild's).

AH THANK YOU. 

I did that but I had 'topics' selected by default instead of 'posts' so it was just showing me all the threads she's ever posted in. 

No worries, I'll be reading aaaaall of my ladies posts too. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

 

[tacehtpuekam]

Now I have something to do to keep me awake for the next 4 hours!  :laughno:

 

[tweakabell]

OOOH, Fun! I'm trying to make a swatch book /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Ohhhh! Please post pictures when you're done (as if you wouldn't  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> )

I was thinking about doing that with my nail polishes. thought about other stuff but wasn't sure how I'd keep it from smudging!

 

[tacehtpuekam]

I'm having such a hard time resisting 'liking' some of these posts. It's almost a reflex now!

But she'll obviously know I was creeping if I accidentally do that. MUST. NOT. CLICK. 

 

[tweakabell]

I just really don't want to pull out each palette to try and remember what shades are in it. The formula right now is a brag book and index cards from the $1 dollar store, a stiff brush and hairspray. Makeup Macgyver!

 

[tweakabell]

I almost did that too, on a few months old post, no that wouldn't have given it away at alllll

 

[tacehtpuekam]

Another question. Does anyone know if it's possible to send your Birchbox favorites list to someone? Or if you can link it somehow? I was thinking that would be GREAT to add to my wish list since a lot of people are trying to use up points (I know I am!)

I'm so sorry if sending the assignments out early caused any panic or trouble! We're leaving town on Friday for a weeklong visit to family and I'm in the middle of packing woes. So yesterday when I had a few free hours, and a desire to procrastinate on packing, I decided to get the assignments out so if I had anything crazy happen Thurs, I wouldn't have to worry about letting you guys down!

(And right now, I'm just hoping my hubby realizes I am NOT packing for him! I have myself, two little boys, and a dog to pack for! I have to admit, packing for little boys is pretty easy, just clothing and bath stuff. No accessories, hair stuff, jewelry, etc. MY packing list is twice the length of theirs together!)
