| I'm New and have ?'s I think I would like to participate in an upcoming GE but have questions..... 1. I am not crafty or artsy like alot of YT members, is it offensive if I don't personally make a gift (not that you would want me to - seriously)? 2. I don't have alot of time on my hands - hence my low post count, so I would like to start shopping in advance before I sign up. However, it seems like people get things they want - do they send a "wish list" of sorts? 3. I have enough computer skills to get into trouble and get by..... the smilebox scares me - your thoughts on this as I would want to do a smilebox. The ones I have seen are so stinkin cute! 4. A mentor has been mentioned, and I think I would like this - any takers? Thanks in advance for any comments or input.

| 1. I am not crafty or artsy like alot of YT members, is it offensive if I don't personally make a gift (not that you would want me to - seriously)? I am not at ALL crafty!! I have tried to make a few things (bow boxes, baskets, and things to that sort), but i do not sew nor do I have the amazing talents alot of these ladies do...so no offense!!! Alot of the time (most), most members purchase handmade clothes, baskets, toys, pj's, etc from other YT vendors. 2. I don't have alot of time on my hands - hence my low post count, so I would like to start shopping in advance before I sign up. However, it seems like people get things they want - do they send a "wish list" of sorts? You do mention things that you might like to have...these are always just ideas of course. No one expects you to fill their wish list..just give you ideas. IMO, its really hard to pre-shop. You dont know if you will have a boy or a girl, if they like toys or not, wear bows or not, what size clothes they wear, etc. 3. I have enough computer skills to get into trouble and get by..... the smilebox scares me - your thoughts on this as I would want to do a smilebox. The ones I have seen are so stinkin cute! The smile box is SUPER simple. Its pretty self explanatory..but I would b happy to walk you through!! 4. A mentor has been mentioned, and I think I would like this - any takers? Im not good with clues!! But, Id be happy to help you in anyway I can!

| Oh the clues scare me as well!!! I do have some creative boys in the house but they think I am obsessed with YT already, but they WILL help if needed. How often do you give clues? Every day until someone figures it out? I don't even know Brutus' size in clothing as he being naked. How do you know the clothes will fit? We do have clothes, but some fit great and others are a little big or a little small when they are actually all size small? Just like my clothes, I wear different sizes in different brands. I dont mean to be a pest, but I want to make sure our sb has a great experience and my lack of experience doesn't make it a bad one

2. Yes, there are lists of things that are "wants". If you pre buy make sure it is gender neutral. Just be careful of treats. Many of the pups can't have them. 3. Smilebox is easy easy! You can do it! If you need help, just send me a pm! 4. I would be glad to help you if you need it. I am sitting the next GE out!
