Halloween Trick or Treat Exchange!

Here’s the lowdown!

~You must be a member of TBK for at least 30 days!

~You must have a post count of 75! So, there’s still time for you to meet these requirements and sign up to participate!

~Your Halloween Trick or Treat (or both) box must have at least $15 of goodies and gifts for your buddy! This does not include the cost of shipping, which will be separate.

~You must get a tracking number (They usually cost less than $1, so it’s well worth it, if someone say’s they didn’t get a box, which has happened in the past. It also ensures us that you’re serious about the exchange.) Failure to provide a tracking number will result in the inability to participate in future exchanges at TBK.
~We will have sign ups from August 1- 31. Simply copy and paste the questionnaire in a PM and send it to Rosi (Six2Love).

~You will be paired up with a buddy by September 15!

~You MUST mail out your box no later than October 15! Failure to send your box out on time will result in a warning, if it happens more than once you will be unable to participate in future exchanges at TBK.

To sign up, simply log into your account at The Lounge and PM Rosi (Six2Love) the answers to the Halloween Questions.
