    I'm glad so many are pleased with their secret pals! I must tell you that it is absolutely random. I print out a list of all your names, cut into little strips , fold and put into a bowl and then have 2 neighbors who live in my apartment building draw the names and I write em down then go and put into computer!
    Also glad that so many are getting their packages out early, please people mail on time this month! Have fun everyone!

    I got my sp this morning!!! yippeeee!!!! Now to get cracking this weekend and get a little something special set up for her. I will try to send it out earlier than June 15th just in case this @#($@(#*$ Canadian Postal Strike gets nasty.

    UPDATE on postal strike... each province/city will be doing 24 hour rotating strikes. So today, the first day of the strike the postal workers out in Winnipeg, Manitoba are on the picket lines. Glad it is not going to the the whole country at the same time or it will be MADNESS!!!! Here at work we use the postal system every day!!! I work with various application forms for various programs and services we provide our clients. Hoping this is a very fast and painless strike!

    Cheers!

    Thanks to fidgety for putting up the mail date! The thing is that you signed up a few days or some a week or so ago.That gives you time to make something something small for your secret pal even before you get her name. Also bobbins, pins, thread small scissore are something that you don't need to have a name before you can buy. You also have 2 weeks after you get the name.That gives you time to you can pick up things alittle at a time through out the month and have on hand so that there is just a couple of things to make it personal for your secret pal. Just a thought......
