I will post an update in a few weeks with the rules and sign-up info and we will all go from there. Everyone who meets the guidelines is welcome to join and I look forward to us all getting to know each other a bit better.

I have lots of people asking about the new guidelines so I figured I would post them at the top of the pile again.
First off I would like to thank everyone for their great suggestions which I have took to heart and am incorporating into our new RAOK to make it run much smoother.
Also a HUGE thank you to twiggers for her help in letting me use her guidelines (she runs the Bal, LV, and Hermes Raok's) and for answering all my questions.
Alright, here goes.
This will be our rules so that everyone is on the same page and knows what guidelines to follow.
1. Minimum 5000 posts or 2.0 post per 2 days (want people to be regulars) We started the RAOK as a new board and so many members with less than 250 posts were included. For the next season of Raok (July, Aug., Sept.) we will be increasing the number of posts to participate to 500 due to issues we were having. This will give the new Minkettes some time to get their posts up.
2. Regular contributor to respective subforum - ie; only sign up if you are a regular RM boardie please.
3. Must have posted a photo within last 30 days (please make sure you review Vlads how to post pics thread and make sure your camera works. It can be a cell, camera, whatever gets your pic on the pf) You can post pics on any of the threads that are fitting and a great one is the "your RM bags in action" Pics do not have to be of your bags, we have tons of unique threads and you can pick one that works best for you.
4. A set amount for each gift. Right now we have a price limit of $25 per gift (per month I mean). You're allowed to go over that amount once. That is not a minimum, but you should use your judgment for what the minimum should be.
5. Gifts MUST be sent out by the 21st if sending internationally, and the 25tht if sending within your country.
6. MUST PM me at rmraok@comcast.net with the delivery confirmation/tracking number. This is so that I can make sure everyone gets and sends their pressies, and so that if their are delivery issues I can work on them for you.
7. Upon receipt of gift, photos must be posted within 3 days. This is so that we know everyone is participating and is only fair to your buddy.
Thank you all for your patience and I am hoping this will make our Raok's run more smoothly. If anyone has any ideas of things to add please feel free to let me know.

Also, if anyone would like to be an "angel" (which means if someone does not get a gift you could send one) please let me know.

The new sign-up will be in a few weeks so check back for updates and as always, feel free to pm me if you have any questions.

Tater, my last pressie is going to be late as well. My grandmother passed away and I had to travel to California. I did send my buddy an email advising but wanted to let you know as well. I will get it out this week.

I'm so sorry FL. Our thoughts are with you and I'm sure your buddy understands completely.

I just received my pressies today!!! THANK YOU Bella!! I was so excited to get this package today I almost opened it in the driveway. I received a wonderful little summer goodie box filled with the most thoughtful gifts. First up was a cute green bag with some yummy and adorable ladybug chocolates, then some great scrapbook stickers and felt ladybug, a very cool one stroke painting kit complete with paints, a small go pack of Tide (bella how do you know I'm so messy, lol) and last but not least the cutest ladybug print sun hat and sarong/scarf!! I love everything and the sun set perfectly matches my new Balenciaga! Thanks again Bella.
