    Halloween The Great Pumpkin Round Robin~Thanks for a great ride!

    Now Boarding for a 4 week round robin!!
    "The Great Pumpkin"!







    This will run for about 4 weeks...and I'm taking 4 riders with me....
    The Great Pumpkin is my favorite Halloween show....so to celebrate the season this train also has a twist....






    I will be accepting riders with a itrader feedback of at least 5 for this ride with NO negatives/neutrals!!





    Please make sure to read ALL info and requirements before joining.





    You can only ride up to 5 trains at a time at HCW. If you are already on 5, you can catch the next one!





    After reading this WHOLE thread, post below to ride and then PM me with your full name and addy!!







    How it works:





    This train will run for about 4 weeks.




    The initial mail out day is September 30th. Mailing early is fine too.
    I say it should last around 4 weeks.
    Each Peanuts character will have a path to follow. Once you receive a Peanuts character envie, try to mail it back out to the next person on the path within 48 hours to keep the train moving. I will assign the path for each Peanuts character once sign ups are complete.
    I will send a PM with all the addies.



    Each rider will post the Peanuts Character from the Great Pumpkin she/he would like to start and that character will be written on the outside or inside of the original envie you mail out along with "The Great Pumpkin". As you receive each envie you will put the character you receive on/in the envie with the train name and mail to the next person on the Peanuts Character's path.



    When you get your 1st envie, you take out what you can use, anything that will be out of the expiration guidelines by the time it arrives to the next rider, add in more coupons to get it back up to the set number and mail that character to the next rider on the path. We will repeat this for up to 4 weeks. By the end of the ride you will have gotten back your character envie that has been visited by all the riders on the train:)





    Each envie must have a minimum of 25 coupons following the guidelines below. Each of those coupons must have an expiration date of at least 2 weeks from the mail date. So if the envie is for the first mail date of September 30th no coupons part of the 25 coupon minimum will expire before October 14th.
    If you want to include extras with shorter dates that is fine as long as it is over the 25.


    Here's the Twist
    a.k.a. known as the treats
    You must include treats in each envie you send-some examples would be:
    stickers,a coupon for a free item, BTFE, post-its, blank shopping lists,return address labels,samples,a recipe, coke codes,a stamp, etc...be creative! ....just remember to watch your postage and remember to send something you would like to receive...no one wants to get a "rock".LOL!

    To Join:



    You must be able to start one envie and pass along up to 3 more for the around 4 week duration.


    Please post below to ride and pm me your addy.
    Also post the Character you wish to start!!




    You must post when you mail and when you receive.




    You need a wish list posted to ride. If your list is very short and specific, other train riders will have a harder time matching your list. If there's something you don't need multi's of, note it.




    This train is potluck which means you may not get 25 coupons from your WL in each envie. Although please try to match wish lists.




    No baby, no pet, no meds, no oddball products that very few members use like depends unless you have an exact wl match. If someone says they can use cat food frees, do not include regular cat food, unless it is an extra.




    Limit of 1 of each coupon unless it is an exact match to a wish list. If you have an exact wish list match, then duplicates are encouraged!!!




    Printables are great to send if the member can use them.




    Store specific coupons are only OK if they are on the WL.




    BTFE's Coke Codes, Pepsi Codes are all great to include if they are wish list items.




    Rebates and tmf forms are GREAT to include. Watch state restrictions.




    Please leave feedback for all riders once the ride is completed!!




    If for any reason, any of your envies are not received, you will be asked to re mail at the 2 week point. joining this train is your agreement to this rule. If your final envie is not posted as received at the 2 week point it will be marked as received to wrap up the train ride!!




    If for any reason you mail out late, it happens, life gets in the way. But post in the thread when it went out so your receiving rider can watch for it.




    If you have any questions at all about this ride please ask me and I will try to make it clearer!!

    Are these train routes in no particular order or what? For instance, Linus sends to me (Lucy) first, however the first week is says I'm receiving Snoopy? Just trying to confirm.... :0)

    To start out,You (Lucy) will mail your (Lucy) envie to Snoopy(purple104).
    I hope that helps.
    Each Peanuts character will have their own path ...
    therefore-you won't be mailing to the same person all the time...
    A.K.A. a better distribution of your treats

    Ok - set up differently than other trains I've been on, but new is always good . I'll follow my train route for mailing my envies as I receive them and all will be well.

    Ok, wait....hold up, I think I'm still confused

    So....when I receive the Linus envie (should be the 1st I receive) I will send it on to Sally (booklover)? And when I receive Sally I send to Linus (flower$)? etc.... So I send to the next person on the list for that specific character?

    Sorry, it's late, maybe I'm just having a dumb moment tonight.

    Yes! You've got the idea!
    see-that way you get to share treats w/everyone....
    not just one person for the whole train

    I'm going shopping tomorrow for some treats!
