Gift Exchange: Basenji Buddies Summer 2008

[Alex]

It's coming, had to sort through all the submissions myself.

Alex,

Sorry to be antsy…but I still haven't received an email with the info...have you sent them out yet? Looking forward to the Basenji Penpal exchange!!! :-)Thanks!

[AndrewnShango]

Any updates on our Basenji Buddies gift exchange?

Haven't heard anything in quite a while…

[Alex]

We finally sorted through all the submissions and everyone should have gotten their Basenji Gift Buddy. Please let us know (giftexchange@basenjiforums.com) if you have not gotten an email from us.

Also we noticed that several members who voted on the poll did not email us their submissions in the format requested in the first post of this thread. There is still time, hurry and email us.

Those members who did receive their Basenji Gift Buddy email, please send your gift in a timely manner.

Enjoy! This is going to be a lot of fun!

I'm so excited!

My basenji buddy gift is all ready and I'll be getting the finishing touches tomorrow and then it'll be in the post on Monday.

I can't wait to send it off and know that Shango's going to have a new friend!

[ChaseandZahrasmom]

I am almost ready but I have to pick up something for my buddy this weekend at a Dog walking event. I am so excited to put it all together and get it in the mail.

[MacPack]

I mailed mine yesterday, hope our basenji buddy likes it! It was hard to stop, I kept finding things…....

Giving gifts and making new basenji friends is so much fun!

[youngandtired]

Are we suppose to let our Buddies know who we are?

[Alex]

You can include you forum member name in the gift package. We will specify this optional step in the gift exchange guidelines next time. I think element of the mystery, not really knowing who sent it, is fun.

[AndrewnShango]

With mine, Shango wrote a letter to go with it, explaining the gifts…etc. (haha!)

[etzbseder]

I just sent mine as they were. (surprise!)

What I would love to see is a thread dedicated to the gifts received, and how people felt about them. (good and bad). This would really come in handy next time we do an exchange. I haven't gotten mine yet, otherwise I'd start it myself.

[Alex]

I think we can just continue adding to this thread.

[AndrewnShango]

I plan on posting pictures when I get mine!

Not to be a downer but I'd rather know who it is from, I plan on writing a letter from Zahra explaining her gifts too. I think it is a great way for those of us all over to "meet".

So, when do we get to start hearing what people are getting from their basenji buddies?
