THis is a repost....and the people who have signed up so far are people who were really good Secret Pals. I hope to gather more of you because I think this is going to be super fun!!

Thanks to Miss Darlene around here on the boards, she suggested that we play Mystery Box instead of doing another SP Thingie right now. She has been playing on the Over 50's board for a while and truthfully it really sounds like a whole lot of fun...and the best part of it....it only costs postage.

Here how it works:

Mystery Box Rules for White Elephant ThemeThere will always be 12 items in the boxThe only $$$ you should spend should be just the postage to post to the next person on the list.You can pick out one item or all 12, but you must replace the same amount before sending on to next person.Please try and send the box to next person within 3 days of receiving.Cross your name off the list of people then send to name under yours.Do not send:Items that are half used, such as colognes, food items, make-ups etc. No used intimate apparel.No food items that are heavy. They can weigh the box down.You do not need to purchase anything, the box will consist of white elephant items. Items in your home you don’t use, things that maybe were given to you some time back and you just didn’t know what to do with it, handmade items welcome.Now how fun does this sound? I think it would be a hoot!!! The box would eventually come back to me, but it can make its way all over California!!Who is in? Email me at [email protected] with your ground address so I can start compiling a list of players. I am already looking around for stuff!!! So lets have some cheap fun guys and gals!!!! I would like to get this going in the next week or so!

How are you going to get the original twelve items? Do you want donations? I will contribute one item. Just let me know what your addy is so I can send it to you. Thank you for your effort in starting this up. It does sound like a really cool thing to do. Thanks to Darlene for her idea!! Hugs! Jillie

Hey janine!! I emailed you about 3-4 days ago with my shipping address. Did you get it?

Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired."
