Crappy Day P*ckage Exch*nge 2013, #1

For those who are new here, a pack*ge for this exch*nge usually consists of a box containing a few (or many) wrapped CDPs. If I'm sending out of state, it's very cost efficient to use a flat rate box, so I try to fill it up, and I think about what sorts of heavy things I could send that I wouldn't usually think to send. Treacle Fudge comes to mind. Or brownie mix. Or books (after all, the postage will be the same no matter what is inside =)!). If I'm sending IN state, I can send a giant box and pay about the same amount of money. If you aren't sure what an appropriate amount of things to send is, click here and look through the different links of examples of Crappy Day Packages to get an idea.

Hurray =)! Registration is now OPEN for the first CDPE of the year!!

Items of note:

• Remember to go to the registry post and leave your answers in the comments (or email your answers to me, if you'd prefer). If you have previously left a comment answering the registry questions and your answers have changed, leave a new comment, and delete your old comment, or email me, and I will delete your old comment.
• In order to help your person get to know you even better, either google "getting to know you questions" or go to one of these sites (which I found when I googled), copy the questions, and put your answers either in a blog post (or two or three...), or email the questions and answers to me, and I will forward them on to your person.
• If you want to SEND a box (either to someone specific or someone random) anonymously (er, anonymously to THEM; *I* will still need some information from you to make sure that you are somebody *I* would be comfortable giving *my* personal information to if situations were reversed!) and not RECEIVE a box, email me, and I will be able to arrange that for you.
• For the price range issue, we will continue to take the advice of a very wise Swistle who once said:
• "As for price range, I think it's "whatever is still fun." If you start getting stressed about the cost, that = not fun. I think a prize (or, in this case, Crappy Day Package) can be something you go out and buy, or it can be half a batch of cookies, a couple of used paperbacks, and a bottle of moisturizer that wasn't right for you." Do your best! Make the kind of package you would like to receive, and try not to feel bad about having limited resources!
• If you do not live in the USA and want to participate but are worried about postage, email me anyway; if there are others from your country/area who want to participate, I will match you up.
• If you do a blog post about the box you receive, send me a link, and I'll add it to the Other Examples of CDP post.
• If you want to be anonymous if your recipient does a blog post about the package you sent, let the recipient of your box know that!

If you would still like to participate after reading all of this, email me, by 9:00pm (Pacific Time) January 15th at: stilldoingmybest (at) gmail (dot) com.

• In your email, copy, paste, and answer these questions (please do this again even if you've signed up before because it makes it easier for me to keep track of the information if I get a new email from everyone):
• If this is your first time signing up, how did you find out about this exchange?
• If this is not your first time, please remind me who you have sent to in previous exchanges.
• What is your internet name, (real) name and address? (This information will only be used for CDP purposes!)
• If you have social media accounts (blog, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Goodreads, etc...), please list the pertinent information so I can pass it on to your person. (These can be a good source of inspiration for presents!)
• Is there anything important about you that I should tell the person who gets your name? (Life-threatening allergies, need for anonymity, etc...)
• Is there anyone you WANT to send a package to? (List people in order of preference, and I will see what I can do! If the person hasn't signed up, I will be happy to send her a no-pressure email, telling her she's been requested and inviting her to join!)
• Is there anyone you DON'T want to send a package to? (For example, perhaps you've already sent a certain person a CDP outside of these exchanges and want somebody new to stalk get to know?)
• Do you want to be assigned...
• A person you already know? (I tend to guess about who knows who based on blog and Twitter comments, but feel free to enlighten me if you do have a preference =)!)
• Someone you don't know?
• No preference?

• Do you want me to assign your name to...
• Someone you already know?
• Someone you don't know?
• No preference?

• Is there anyone who has joined the registry that you do NOT want to have your address?
• Are you willing to send a package to Canada or the United Kingdom (It appears to cost around $45 to send a flat-rate package to either of these places from the USA, unless you can keep your package under 4 pounds, and then it's more in the $20 (Canada)-$30 (UK) range.)?
• If you have any questions for your person, and you are aiming for the element of surprise and don't want to email your person directly, email me your question(s) and the name of your person, and I will take care of that for you =).

I will send an email to you as soon as I can after January 15th with the information for your person.
Please send your package no later than February 15th.

I think that's everything important, but let me know if you still have questions that I haven't answered and I will edit this post with your questions and the answers.
