Looks like we are off to a great start

So here are a few things:

Don't forget to update your blogs.(it lets us get to know each other)

Don't forget to say hi to your pal every now and then (keeps 'em from getting anxious)

Check your spam mailboxes

Check any other email addresses you may have (maybe you have a different one on your blog!)

Other than those couple of things, it looks like things are going well!

Have a great day!

Please READ this~

1. If you haven't Contacted the person you are spoiling, please contact them NOW. We have lots of worried participants this round.
2. When leaving comments on your spoilee's blog, please check the information (sometimes your real info is cached)
3. Please be patient with your hostess, some of us work, have families, etc. So if she doesn't get back to you right away, it doesn't mean she is ignoring you. I would like to remind you that this is a huge undertaking (even with 6 hostesses) and we are doing it for the love of Secret Pal.

Thanks.

Friday Update

Okay...
Just a little update and a few reminders...

Remember this is SECRET PAL...please check your "anonymous" email addresses to make sure your name doesn't show up (I am not perfect, this happened to me last round...lol) Also, You shouldn't reveal yourself until the end.

If you haven't received your partner yet, please wait until tomorrow evening to email us at sp6hostesses@gmail.com

Please, if you have recieved your partner and haven't contacted them yet to say Hi, I'm your pal and I am really out here, now would be a great time. (Some people are getting worried)

The participants list is on the sidebar once again. If you are not there and have a pal, please contact us at the above email address with list in the subject.

ETA: Please don't forget to copy and paste the questionaire into your blog and answer the questions. We have eager spoilers looking for things to send to you:)

I hope this helps, and onward!

Patience is a virtue

I wish more of you had...

But seriously, here's the new deal! I noticed that my SP was sent through the gmail account to my personal aol account. I accidentally intercepted it in the gmail account... that was at 9:04 am today. It has not shown up in my inbox, yet. So, please, please, please be patient. If you have not heard anything from any of us by Saturday night (uh, like midnight) then please feel free to send an email to SP6hostesses@gmail.com (we are able to recieve there) I understand your point, and know that you are oh so very excited, but remember we are too! Don't forget to say hi to your pal as soon as you know who he/she is, okay? I am still waiting to find out everyone's status, I will let you know as soon as I know. Keep the excitement, just with a little more patience, okay?

Easy Does It!!!

Okay, we all know how excited you all are! And we appreciate your patience. The persons in the following groups...please check your emails...you have matches.
Christine
Heather
Lee Anne

The rest of you are going to have to be a little patient :)

We are still having issues with gmail and we are trying to work around it.

ETA: You should have already recieved an email from your hostess with a little introduction, explaining that they are your hostess and giving you directions on how to contact. This will not be posted, as it would make it easier for you to figure out your Secret Pal. Please check your spam boxes!

While you are waiting, you may want to check out the archives and refresh your memories on the rules!

Thanks!

The SP6 Hostesses

Houston, we have a problem

We are so very sorry and would love to get your matches to you, however, gmail is not playing fair. We are working amongst ourselves to resolve the issues, but as it stands right now, some or all of you will not be getting matches tonight. Please, be patient. We don't like this anymore than you :)

Thank you for your patience

This post is to let you know that we will be sending out matches tomorrow (9/12). We are waiting to hear about who is on the "blacklist". Also, there have been questions regarding SP5 and SP7... SP5 was not handled by us, therefore, we cannot help you. SP7 will be announced on this site, when SP6 is nearing the end. If you would like notification, subscribe to bloglines for the updates.
