I haven't participated in a GE yet, but I will be in the next one. I am very excited, and I have already bought some things that I think my buddy will enjoy. I can't wait!
I really wanted to participate in the one for Valentine's Day, but I wasn't able to come up with the money at that time. Things get really slow for my husband at work around the first of the year, so things get tight sometimes. I know there are others out there that experience the same thing, so I'm ok with sharing that. I am so ready for the posting that we can sign up for the next GE. I'm guessing that signups will be in March or April?
