If you're participating in the ornament exchange, be sure to add your Forum name to your real name on Elfster so whoever you draw to exchange with knows who you are! :D

I also posted the following on the regular forum:

Owing to some questions I've had, I guess I should make some things more clear: :D

1. To add your Forum name to your Elfster profile, just go into your profile page and put your Forum name in parentheses right after your last name.

2. Make sure your address is on your profile, or the person who draws your name won't know where to send your ornament! :(

3. During the last couple of years some people never sent their elf an ornament and that resulted in some pretty disappointed people. So if your in, please be in!


oh, also....

I will "flip the switch" on Thanksgiving and the names will automatically be drawn, then everyone will get an e-mail telling them who their elf is. If I remember correctly, the e-mail will tell you their name and address, so all you have to do is address your package and drop it in the mail!

It's fun if you post a picture of the ornament you get and say who sent it to you! :D

31 people have accepted so far!

When I click on profile, it does not ask for an address. Where exactly do I put my addy?

Margo, so looking forward to participating in year 3 of oranament exchange! It is always great fun anticipating where and from whom your ornament will come,then putting it on the tree and posting it on the forum! Thank you for hosting this for year 2. For those who can't make it to STJ for the holidays, this is an excellent way to add a little island fun to our holidays!!! :D Jan
