Secret Pal 6
If you read knitting blogs then you probably know about their version of Secret Pals that they run. They are up to their 6th round of this type of exchange. I see now that they permit crocheters to join, but their questionnaire is still knitter oriented.
I was reading their rules for participation, and I think they have something going that C'Ville might want to model. First of all, a blog is mandatory. You must have one in order to participate. This allows the person you are being a pal to to find out who you are.
They have set their spending limit at $50. This include shipping as well as hours spent making something, and giving bought items. I think that is a more realistic amount over three months.
Instead of having one person work as coordinator, they have a handful. It's needed because they have so many exchangees. If/when the C'Ville secret pal signs up, may be we who belong, and consider borrowing these ideas? Just a thought...
I feel bummed I missed the sign up. I've subscribed to the SP6 blog to find out the details of SP7. I need to be a secret pal or sistah to somebody. My life is dull without it!
