Yes, are we? 

On a side note, I am willing to be an "elf not on a shelf". I don't know if this is allowed, but if you want to ask your ss giftee a question, you could ask me and I will ask your giftee, then get back to you with my findings..Of course I will not reveal names due to elf confidentiality agreements......

I think we could do those at any time. Somebody just needs to start by asking something. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Ok here I go:

What are your favorite colors (both generally and for makeup products)?

What colors do you use most in your apartment decoration?

Actually sign-ups are THROUGH Nov 15, 2013.  So, really, we have to wait until Saturday to find out who our Secret Santee is.  Sorry to be a bummer.  Don't shoot the messenger.

Do you own a lot of items from any particular brand? My biggest fear is if someone's list said "I love the Balm!" So I bought them stuff from there and then they end up with two of the same things! Yanno?

Make up: neutral for eyes, bold lips - pretty boy and strumpet from occ are my two all time favorite colors. Apartment: my boyfriend and I are poor college people so we have a lot of orange things because it's usually what goes on sale at target /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I like minty greens and reds

No except for polishes... but even then my polish collection is relatively small compared to many people.  I have maybe 20 Essie's, 20 Opi's, and 25 or so Julep's.

ok-here is my question...

If I am your secret santa and send you an over the top, fab gift would you:

a)prefer everything wrapped individually

or

B) have a huge smorgasboard to look at

AND would you prefer to:

a) open each gift slowly and methodically

or

B) tear everything open like a mad woman

I like things wrapped prettily, however that may be.  I am definitely more of a careful opener though- I like to relish that moment!

Everything individually! I'm a careful unwrapper - it drives everyone around me insane.

I'm a warm to neutral person..I love yellows and have lots of yellow in my house.

For make-up-its neutral eyes, bronzer, peachy/pink glosses....of course I am rocking a Red OPI right now, but I was feeling adventurous!

No, I don't own too much from one brand...variety is nice!

I am a very slow and methodical unwrapper but I would pefer things all wrapped separately.  

That being said I'm a terrible wrapper.  I do like to put my stuff in bags and boxes and tie them with pretty ribbon.  But tape and I don't get along.  Unless it is duct tape which is what I wrap my nephews things in.

@izzi917I know it really really sucks and it is easy for us to say "well hey there, you can join next year", but if they make an exception now, there will be others who will want one. Then people from last year can come and say "Well I never got an exception made for me" and next year people will say  "you made an exception last year, I wamt one, too". It's not supposed to be a personal attack from anyone against you, I think everyone is speaking about exceptions in general. We really are excited to have anyone who could not join this year joing the gift exchange next year. I always felt the MUT community is really welcoming and mostly (*caugh*) civil.

I guess actually I should also answer in case the person who gets me cares haha.

In terms of my apartment, there are mostly blues and pinks. I also do like deep purple.

In terms of on me, I like blues and greens and fun colored eyeliners around my eyes and bright lip colors.  I like more neutral blushes in general. Really just give me ALL THE COLOR.  However, I work in a professional office so I have AMPLE use for neutrals too.

My favorite colors are deep blue, blood red, and silver but there are days where I'm in love with psychedelic brights, I swear I'm two different people.

In my house I use rich browns so that I can have colorful accessories but my furniture is all espresso/cherry like.

Wrapped Individually! it's so much more fun that way, the suspense is killer. The second part of the question is tricky, I do either/or, depending on my mood /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

No, except nail polish, I have a ton of Julep and Essie nail polish, but that doesn't bother me because I love it all /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
