Friends, I’m incredibly excited to announce this super cool new project that the On the Same Page gals are starting! You might recall a couple of months ago when Alyssa asked around Twitter if anyone would be interested in participating, and YAY, you guys were stoked! So we got down to work and set up the Secret Sister Project for you, and now Alyssa, Brittany, and I are finally ready to make our Secret Sister Project a REAL THING. For those of you who have NO idea what I am talking about, read on!
The What
A secret sister is essentially a cheer club. Think Secret Santa but all year round with less emphasis on big presents, and more thoughtful notes, cards, small somethings sent just to let your secret sister know that you are thinking about her!
The When
Sign-ups run July 18-July 25
You will be paired up with your secret sister by August 1
This will run from August 1 -February 1 (6 months)
The Who
You guys! The only “rule” we have is that before signing up, you must “know” at least one of us. As in, we must have spoken on Twitter or SOMETHING. We are just really concerned with someone not following through, and that would just make a bad time for everyone. Also, we might be limiting the number of sign-ups so it doesn’t get too out of hand, this is just a trial run!
FAQs
What will I have to do if I sign up to be a secret sister?
This is a commitment, we can’t lie to you. By signing up to be a secret sister you are promising to send at least one small card/gift to your secret sister a month. It is very important that you don’t sign up for this unless you are willing to follow through. Please think of how sad (and unfair) it would be for someone to be working hard to make their secret sister feel special and not receiving anything themselves!
Do I have to send presents?
No, you don’t have to send anything big, this really is meant to be more of a cheering up sort of club.However, in the six month period we will be going through Halloween, Christmas, and maybe your secret sister’s birthday! It is encouraged that you send one or two presents during these six months(think a book from their wish list, some Halloween candy, or if you’re feeling really fancy, some flowers for their birthday!) Honestly, this is as fun as you make it!
Do we have to remain secret?
No, though that is part of the fun! Just leave your name off of the card or box you are sending if you want to remain secret, and reveal yourself when you send a Christmas present, perhaps? It is entirely up to you!
Anything else I should know?
For fun, take some pics of your goodies and share them with us using the hashtag #OTSPSecretSister or follow one of us (or all of us at Gals on the Same Page) on Twitter!
