Hubby and I were talking about the Secret Santa and since this is our first year, we aren't sure how it works...when it starts?
I already signed us up but whats next and when.  Thanks!!

First of all, there is no such think as a dumb question!

Here's how it works: In a few weeks (I think around November 20th) Jaime (jabear) will PM you with a name and address of another member participating in the secret santa. Then, you will buy a present for their pups (don't spend more than $20).  You will mail it to them by december 9th. You can put your return address on it, but don't put your name on it (it's a secret ;) ). You will recieve a package in the mail from another secret member and you wont open it until christmas or the secret santa chat. There will be a chat where everyone gathers to open presents at the same time, or you can post about it on the board (with pics of the pups prefferably ;) ) and then your secret santa will reveal themselves and you can reveal yourself to whoever you sent a present to :)

I love to shop and have already started picking up a few small things. I am looking forward to this. It is always so much fun to give to others. And I cant wait to start taking the pictures.
