Its Gift Exchange Time: 2016

Christmas Gift Exchange: Yep, thats right...its time to get signed up. Santa Paws is coming to town!!

This is our 5th yr now and its always so much FUN!!!
Most of you know how this all works but for new ones...Let me explain. There are 2 ways to sign up: Singles or as a group.
1. Singles buy for another single dog and the limit is $10.00
2. Groups will buy for another group of dogs and the limit is $20.00 *****************************************************************
You will be assigned a partner and that will come out on the Christmas Exchange list that will be posted on my blog. At that time...you get into contact with your partner and exchange gift ideas, etc. We ask that all mailings should be out by Dec 10th to make sure that it arrives on time. Some of you mail early and that is fine too. It is up to you and your mom if....you want to open your gift when it comes or wait until Christmas. PLEASE....Don't sign up unless you know fully that you can follow through..This is SO Important!!! We have had dogs stiffed in the past and it makes my very Mom spastic when that happens. We realize that things can come up so if for some reason, you cant fulfill your gift then please let us know so that we can find another partner or make other arrangements.
The deadline to sign up is Sunday Nov. 13th.
The list will come out on Tuesday. Nov 15th.
This will give you about 3 1/2 wks to buy and get your gift sent to your partner.  
This deadline is very Firm!!  
It is so hard to keep adding names later on and there will be several reminders so that Moms have time to get your name in. We just want to have fun shopping and buying that "special" gift for our "special" friend.
Email my mom at dcraftsalot(AT)yahoo.com and let her know if you are in single or groups!
And I know some of you don't mind having a partner outside of the US. If so, please let us know in the e-mail too.  I have it on my sidebar also. That's about it.....Go get signed up and Go....Shop till you drop!!
*******************************************************************
And Dont forget to sign up for the Christmas card exchange. We are accepting names until November 6th. Click on the Blogville Mailbox on my sidebar for card information!!

Final Debate Tuesday

Welcome to the final debate Tuesday. I am running with Christmas and he is really a great guy. I believe in him and he wants to keep Blogville a fun, friendly and happening place. There are only 2 weeks left until Election Day. We have been asked questions and we want you to know as much as you can so that you can about us.

1-For each of the candidates and their running mates - if you could meet with anyone, living or dead, who would you like to meet?  
Oh I have met so many friends in the furs at the BAR and I loved it. Someone that I would really liked to have met was Remington. We both share a love for footballs and I think that he would be a blast to hang with.

2-We would like to know what fun things each candy date has in store for Blogville. What about a blogville christmess pawlender? maybe with 24 funny posts , so the time isn't too long while we wait for santa :o)
Christmas and I just love parties...so yes I do see parties in the future. The Christmas pawlender sounds great. While we are waiting for Santa.... you cant have a great party without.....

3- If you win, will you replace the entire administration or will you reappoint those who wish to stay in their pawsitions?     
Christmas and I would go over the positions and see who would like to stay and who wouldn't. I know that if positions need to be filled that Christmas and I would fill it with very capable animals.

 4- I have have a question for both candidates, who is your hero and what superpower do you wish you could have? 
Oh man!!! Thats a great question. I think that My hero is my Mom. She took me in and has been so patient with me with all my anxiety issues. Our moms  do so much for us, walkies, belly rubs, getting new toys or bubbles in my case and just really taking care of us when we are sick and watching out for us.

My Super power? 
I wish that I could make sure that every doggie or kitty would always have a good home and that animals never had to be treated badly by mean people.
That is such an awful thing. Chris and I want  to be good neighbors.

 The Election is just 2 weeks away. Christmas and I would love to have your vote and we will work our very hardest for you!! Thank-you!!!

They have arrived!!!

Here they are backing in...

I was so excited and I ran right out there and jumped right into their mini motor home.

After meeting and saying Hello...

I had to check this out....it's a real home away from home. Lots to sniff and smell....

Here is my guest for the next 5 days...My very own Uncle Ed. Most of you know him from blogville and yay.. I've heard all about him and that Jazzi loved him and let me tell that I love him too. We have bonded already.

I showed them my frisbee and I am looking forard to walks with my Uncle Ed. He is so cool. This is gonna be so much fun....and mom is loving having her sister ( my aunt Linda) here. I hear that there is lots of crafting going on so I'll be hanging with Uncle Ed.

We've been so busy....

Mom's been working like crazy to be able to take some days off. We've been cleaning the house and getting my toys all cleaned out and I even had a spa day and I'm looking spiffy because...I have a visitor that you all know from Blogville. I've never met him in the furs but I hear that he's a really cool guy.

Mom says we can play together and even go on walls together. I can hardly wait!!!
I will post pictures as soon as he gets here. He's had to travel for several days to get here. Stanley and Murphy visited me....so this will be my 3rd visotor to my house. You all will be so surprised.

We have lots of dogs on the Christmas card list and gift information will be out on Monday so....be thinking about if you want to join in on the fun. Mom has the next 5 days off..YAY
