Right here! :)
....well I started ages ago, but the "formal" preperation starts now, now that I know who I will send my SS gift to.


I "belong to" (what do you say about web communities you participate in? That you visit the website, participate...what?) a web community with knitters/crocheters/felters...etc... and I took care of a swap game over there. Today was the "last" day of shipping the gift (unless there really was a reason, like illnesses, waiting for the next payday or something), and I just sent a message to those who I have not heard if they did send their present yet, just to remind them which day it is today and remind them to let my know if/when the sent their present, so I can mark it in my book. Allmost everyone have sent their presents, most that haven't, have contaced me to let me know the reason, so everything is going right.

There were 50-60 participants, so this was quite a puzzle (2 pricegroups, some living abroad, most here in Iceland, some wanted and some didn't want to send abroad, understandable, it costs more. I tried to organize it that way that those living in small communities would be paired with someone living in either the largest city or at least on a different part of the country, so they would not both have the only small shop in that little community to go to...get a little variety. I also contacted a few yarn/needlework shops and got discount for the participants in change of the keyword they had to "whisper" when paying.
This was sooo much fun!!!!!


So, now I can dive into the next game....SECRET SANTA!!!!
