Punk Rock Gift Exchange: Woo Hoo!!!

Woo Hoo!!!

First, my apologies to Knitting Knut for being late in posting this. I received my second package on Saturday night - and I had had such a long, tiring day - this was a huge, welcome ray of sunshine!

(I hope I am not breaking PRGE etiquette by posting several pictures but my box was so beautiful...I thought you would all love to see it.)

She packed so much goodness in the box...you can see the cool purple/black yarn and in the back is a kit for lace up gauntlet gloves from Sugar Apple Creations. WICKED!!! See:

The color didn't come out too well in the photo but the yarn is like a cranberry-esque color and the ribbon is navy blue. She also included purple dpns, skull stitch markers and....

...a cool little notebook and coin purse! (That coin purse makes me GRIN every time I see it!)

What else was in this box? An army (really, an ARMY) of skeletons, a skull goblet, skull lollipops and a bag of Halloween candy. Finally, a black silk rose with purple glitter accents.

What can I say but that I am completely, absolutely spoiled rotten. Cheryl, you ROCK. No, you more than rock....you PUNK ROCK girl!!! I am trotting off to my blog to post more on there. In the meantime....THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for making my first PRGE such a fun experience. Big hugs!!

RULES

THESE ARE THE RULES - THEY ARE NOT OPTIONAL - IF YOU DON'T LIKE THEM - DON'T SIGN UP!! IT'S NOT VERY PUNK, BUT ITS REALITY!! If you like, you can do more these are the basic minimum guidelines!!
$25.00 MINIMUM - you can spend more if you like, but you have to spend this! This is a $50 total exchange commitment before postage.
CONTACT YOUR PAL AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK - YOU WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE EXCHANGE IF YOU DON'T - its nice, it lets them know you care. And be polite and respond to your pal. If you are nicer, you may get more gifties!
THIS IS A HALF SECRET/HALF OPEN EXCHANGE! You will be a secret punk pal till your first box is received, then it will be an open exchange from there.
POST WEEKLY ON YOUR BLOG - and it would be nice if occasionally there was a knitting or crochet or crafting entry, too. It helps your pal know what you like and again, it will get you better gifties! And post your gifties on your blog in a timely manner. Pals like it when you say thank you!
This exchange is only open to knitters and crocheters (?? is that a word? those who crochet....you know what I mean!) You must knit or crochet to participate, have a blog and be a little punk in mentality.
If you can't/don't follow these rules you will be kicked out of the exchange. I hate to be a hard ass, but I will be! Its only fair to all the good pals out there. So if you join, please play by the rules. If you have something happen and you can't play after joining, please e-mail me so that other arrangements can be made. Anyone who just bails will be blackballed for all future exchanges. And yes, the list started with the last one - lets not add any more names!

FOR THOSE WITH OUT OF COUNTRY PALS

Please use this link to check with the postal service for items considered contraband, that could get your package confiscated by the postal authorities. Yes, this really did happen in a couple instances last time! Things like yarn seem to be okay, but things like tea, get your entire package tossed. So its good to know what is allowed. Also make sure on the customs form to write that it is a gift and put a small dollar amount, it seems to get through customs faster!
Please be conscious with International Pals that you need to send boxes earlier, so that your pal receives her gifts about the same time as the rest of us. The mail service has gotten better but it is still 10 to 15 days behind domestic mail service.
