Secret Santa, and other things
Hello everyone! Thank you SO MUCH for all of your amazing support over the past month, especially at the beginning of the month. I’m often blown away by how loving this community is. I’m eternally grateful I made the leap into this world 🙂
This morning, I had the idea of a writer’s secret santa hit me in the face. Maybe it’s just me, but I think the idea is amazing and I’m plowing forward with it. I know this time of the year can be financially difficult, so I understand if anyone wants to opt out, but I think that anything, even a card sent to a writer friend would be fun 🙂 I’m not putting a price cap on gifts sent, but I will admit that I probably won’t spend over $10.
So, if you’re interested, shoot me an email with the following details:
Name
Email address
Blog address/Twitter handle
Physical address
Favorite Color
Favorite Book Genre
And two things you love to do if you aren’t reading/writing
I’ll leave this open until December 8th. On that weekend, I’ll email you your secret santa name and address.
Please write in the comments if I missed anything that might be important. I’m fighting a bit of a cold and definitely have brain-mush today.
*Pig is still going strong and seems to be a happy puppy. We have her on prednisone and that seems to be treating her pretty well. We hope she’ll stay with us for a long, long time still 🙂
**I was officially accepted into graduate school to get my masters of elementary education. I’ll start in the Spring and am feeling excited/nervous about heading back to school and working full-time and keeping strong with my writing, but I know plenty of you who already do this and that’s giving me inspiration 🙂
***How’s everyone doing with Happy Snail Mail? I know some of you are still sending letters out. Every time I think you’ve stopped, another one appears in my mail box. I’m hoping to send out another round sometime in December!
I should have also mentioned that of course it’s okay if you want to join in and you aren’t a writer 🙂
Congratulations on getting into grad school! How exciting!!
I’m glad to hear Pig is doing well, too. She has lots of people rooting for her. 🙂
I think the Secret Santa idea is awesome! I don’t think I’ll be able to participate this year, but if it’s super successful and you do it again next year, count me in!
Ha, I was shouting about a secret santa yesterday on twitter! lol
I’ll probably join!
So glad your little Pig is doing well 🙂 And congrats on getting into grad school – so exciting! I LOVE your Secret Santa idea, but I confess I’m feeling a little over-scheduled at the moment, so I’m not sure I better take anything else on…
Love this idea and I’ll try to join in. So glad to hear Pig is doing well!
Also, get better soon and congrats on getting into grad school! 😀
Congrats on your acceptance!! Yay, Pig! So glad she’s better. 🙂 Secret Santa sounds like fun, but my plate is full of projects at the moment. Have fun though! Good to see you back.
Wow, congrats on grad school! Are you teaching this year? I teach third grade and things have been . . . hectic this year!!!
Congratulations honey!!!
I bet if I joined Krispy and I will draw each other…. 😛
Congrats on grad school! And what a wonderful idea….is it too late to get in on the Happy Snail Mail? And Yay for Pig! I hope the holidays bring lots of joy and healing. 🙂
It’s not too late at all! Shoot me an email if you’re interested and I’ll add your info 🙂
Oh! You might add “favorite color” to the secret santa list.
Congratulations!!!
I will be sending out a new batch of happy snail mail soon and I’m considering joining the secret Santa thing. 🙂
Fun! It’s lovely to meet you, Juliana. I’m a sucker for all-things-Santa, so please, count me in! Emailing you pronto. 😉
That’s a creative answer to a difficult question
That’s a quick-witted answer to a difficult question
wiesz co… tak sobie pomyÅ›laÅ‚am, że w sumie knedliki to też mój regionalny przysmak. zapewne zawdziÄ™czam to dziÄ™ki sÄ…siadom :)smak knedlików towarzyszyÅ‚ mi od zawsze. od kiedy pamiÄ™tam. Później, gdy byÅ‚am starsza to nastaÅ‚ taki czas, ze niedzielne obiady jadaliÅ›my w Czechach. Co tydzieÅ„. A po knedlikach zawsze do brzuszkach wpadaÅ‚y lentylki.:)i tak sobie ostatnio myÅ›lÄ™, że mi tego brakuje.cóż… uwielbiam Ã…Å¡lÄ…sk. Moje rodzinne miasto. Nietypowość. Bliskość Czech.Moze kiedyÅ› tam wrócÄ™?ooo :)caÅ‚ujÄ™.niedzielnie.z gÅ‚owÄ… peÅ‚nÄ… wspomnieÅ„ niedzielnych obiadów. tych czeskich. :*
I’m totally in! Glad Pig is better and woohoo on joining the ranks of writer/educators!
Congrats on grad school, that sounds so exciting! I love the idea of a Secret Santa, I’m just not sure I’ll be up for participating this year! My baby is due in a month, so I’m a little huge and worn out. 😀 But good luck, hope it works out!
Congrats on grad school! That’s a dream of mine one day, so I’m totally jealous!
