Got mine! ... can't wait!

exciting can we ask questions here that all sisters that signed up so everyone answers ? is there a set price limit ? when will be revealed who got who , or do we post when we receive ?

I never thought about a price limit. I think of RAKs as whatever someone would like to send, I know we all have different budgets and at various life stages. I would suggest trying to use from your stash --- either things that you have extras of or does work not work as well with your style or something that you got for a really good deal.

Some the ladies made suggestions, others did not. If they did not, I would say they like surprises or open to about anything.

I'm excited....I got exactly who I knew I'd get! LOL This is going to be fun. So when we send the parcel, do we say who it is from?

I would put a return address on the package.

Also to Kerri's question about posting, I would suggest shortly after we receive the rAK.

Got mine! Can't wait to fill it with some goodies!

I will dig out my scrappy stuff over the weekend hopefully and send off my RAK next week (could easily be this time next week before it actually gets sent mind you)

I have been thinking of ordering from my favourite online store for my partner. Is it OK if I contact her in advance? I also thought about just giving her a gc for that store.

It would be easier on two levels:
1. She would be able to get what she wants/needs
2. I wouldn't have to mail it!!

What do you think??

I guess she would have to answer that. I think it's a great idea... certainly would be a good solution for a far away sister!

I think that's a good idea too.
RAKs are fun, but I always worry that what I'm sending is not their style... Though I did go through my partners gallery, and I think the stuff I picked should work for her.

I think that would be a great idea as well. It might make things a lot easier for some people.

Of course, if she mentions that she would like a gc instead, that's is totally doable!

I got mine ready to mail today... hope my sister likes her loot!!

I'm going to get mine boxed up today so I can send it tomorrow!!

Mine is all ready to go to the PO, this afternoon.

Just finished "studying" my sister's likes and dislikes. Planning to gather items over the w'end and send them out on Monday!

I think next time I do this, I'll use the online store. It is only $8 to ship anywhere in Canada (a pizza box) but when I went to the PO to mail mine, the envelope (which had to ship as a parcel) was $13.

Much more cost effective (and easier) to order from the store and have them do the work!

Ok, well, Kelly does not have my name because she shipped w/in Canada. Hmmm, anyone else want to drop some hints? LOL!!

Oh oh maybe she has me????

I didn't think of it as a "hint", Stephanie, but you're right!!!

Mine will go out Monday morning. I need an envelope/small box.
