[quote=""LadyB""]If we're sending them by international Airmail, I'd say we have a couple of weeks max. for them still to arrive during the holiday season (depending on location of course).
So, I think we should see who else responds and set a deadline, say by end of the day Thursday 28 November worldwide, then compile a list of names like was done last year. I'm happy to do this on Friday, I'll even put the names in a hat and draw them randomly, and everyone can just send to the person who appears after them on the list (PM each other for addresses, etc).
How does that sound?[/quote]
That sounds good! Perhaps those who can't ship internationally can say so, so they can be matched with someone from their own country.

I'd prefer not to ship internationally, but can in a pinch.

- Preferred HF: Any time period/location. Timeslip, usually prefer female POV. Also love Gothic melodrama.
- Location: Northeast Scotland
Right, so far the list of participants stands at: Misfit, Nefret, BoswellBaxter, Madeleine, Vanessa, LadyB.
I will draw names from a hat when I get home this evening (in approximately 8 hours' time) so if anyone wants to be added, you have until then.
If no-one else joins, since the list has 3 of us in the US* and 3 of us in the UK, why don't I just do a draw for each country so no-one has to worry about shipping internationally, and then we know everything will arrive on time?
* Nefret, your Temple of Isis is in the US, right?

Right, as promised I've made an official draw, which was basically my partner picking up a few little folded bits of paper from the table 
The orders were:
US
1) Nefret
2) Misfit
3) BoswellBaxter
UK
1) LadyB
2) Madeleine
3) Vanessa
So 1 will send to 2, 2 to 3, and 3 to 1. PM whoever you're sending to for an address. We all probably have a little bit more time now too since we're all posting domestic.
I know this is silly but it's quite exciting! Happy bookmark exchanging!
