Heyyyy everyone!
Since the Summer 2008 RAOK was such a hit, I thought it'd be a great idea to do another one for the holiday season coming up! I had a lot of fun organizing the summer one, and I hope all of you that participated had fun too
So, in an effort to not be too wordy, I'll just get straight to the rules:
Rules for the Secret Santa RAOK:
1. In order to participate, you must have a minimum of 800 posts with activity in the Beauty Bar sub-forum. You must also have been a member of tPF for at least 5 months.
2. Previous participation in a RAOK is preferred, but not required. Those who do not meet the above requirements will be taken into consideration if they had previously participated in a RAOK on tPF.
3. Everyone is welcome to send their application to me for the RAOK. Each application will be handled on an individual basis, meaning that if you are under the post count, you can still apply if you have participated in another RAOK on tPF or have a member that is active in the Beauty Bar who can vouch for you.
4. In this RAOK only one package is required. You may choose to send more if you like but the main package MUST have a value of at least $75.
5. Packages
must be sent by 1. December 2008. That way all the packages will have enough time to reach their destinations. We are starting this RAOK early to give everyone enough time to buy for their buddies and to get their packages sent out on time. International packages
must be shipped by November 24, one week before December 1.
6. The price range for this RAOK is between $75 and $100. No lower than $75. You may spend more than $100 if you wish, but it’s required to meet the $75 minimum.
7. A form of tracking is required for this RAOK, whether it be delivery confirmation, signature confirmation or something similar. I just need some way of knowing that you sent your package and that it got there safely. We don’t want anyone feeling left out!
8. You are required to post pictures of your RAOK goodies. If you don’t know how to post pictures on tPF, please read Vlad’s tutorial and become familiar with it.

Remember, each application will be handled on a case-by-case basis!

Okay, now that you've read the rules we'll get into the fine details

General questions:
Which holiday (if any) do you celebrate (Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, etc). You don’t have to answer this question if you don’t feel comfortable:
Do you have children? If so, what ages?
Would you be comfortable with your buddy getting a small gift for your child?
What is on your wishlist?

If you are comfortable, you can post a link to an uploaded picture of yourself here so that your buddy can get a good idea of what you look like:

So, like I said earlier, the above information needs to be PMed to me by 14. October. The information will be stored by me in my PMs and on my computer in a word file. Once the RAOK exchange has been completed the information will be permanently deleted by me.
Okay, I think I've said all that I need to say!
