I've just finished sending out 68 emails giving Secret Sister birthday information and I'm dizzy. I hope I haven't sent anyone two or missed anyone out but I have my fingers crossed. Be gentle with me and let me know asap if I've made mistakes.

It is just a year since we started the SS scheme by email and in that time I have received and sent an approximate total of 3000 emails - some people still don't realise why it isn't possible through the Private Message system!!!!!

I got my SS, Sue, sorry I'm so long in responding, Thanks so very much, Sue for organizing these schemes and now, you're gifting us with lovely designs, too! Are you sure you don't have a few clones helping you out? ;-) You're amazing! Thanks for all you do! Hugs and *'s, Deb

I'd love a couple of clones but I don't think Mike would agree!

I didn't see your name on the list Polly???
Did you send a new email to Sue?
I know you've been really busy and not online much so maybe you missed it. :-(
Don't worry, I'll send you a special surprise and you won't know it's from me cause you will have forgotten this by then. hahahahahaha!

Sue, I received my email with my Secret Sister birthday information. I guess my SS likes surprises. I don't even have a color to go by. Hope she is surprised in a good way!

sewbadly by sewbadly 15 Jan 2012

Perhaps, she signed up in the way that I did. I contacted Sue by email and just gave my birthdate. Did not realize that other information was an option.
SURPRISE.

shuede by shuede 15 Jan 2012

Maybe you can email Sue and let her know that you do have some likes/dislikes. I know it helps to have some clue about what somebody would really like ... or at the very least a color scheme to shoot for.

shuede by shuede 15 Jan 2012

On second thought, instead of sending more emails to Sue, maybe another thread could be started to state likes/dislikes of those who did not realize they could state that. (When we had the ability to mark things, I marked the original post where people stated their likes/dislikes, and I could look at that.) I really wish we had that feature back!!

sewbadly by sewbadly 15 Jan 2012

Good idea to post, in order to make it easier on the giver. Since this post will be active for a bit, I figure my person can see it here.

sewbadly by sewbadly 15 Jan 2012

I am a basic person. I like the primary colors and prefer to work filled designs.
More function than frill.

spendlove by spendlove 16 Jan 2012

I had wondered about doing that....

mrskiki by mrskiki 16 Jan 2012

The original email from Sue said to include all that info.

sewbadly by sewbadly 16 Jan 2012

I just saw that she was compiling the list... I was not on her email list before.
