If you have yet to send out your last package, please do so immediately and please, please let the person your spoiling, as well as your hostess know of the delay. We really don't want SP7 to end on a sour note.

A call for hostesses:

Hi everyone!

I hope you're really enjoying your SP7 experience. I know I'm having a blast!

I know we've still got 6 weeks left of SP7, but we're already getting a lot of questions about when SP8 will begin. To address this, it's time to start planning! If you've enjoyed SP7, and think you would like to help hostess SP8, let us know! Send an e-mail to sp7hostesses@yahoo.com with "I want to be a hostess for SP8" in the subject line.

Please note that this is just a call for hostesses. As SP8 actually gets planned, we will post more information here, and to the SP8 blog (which we will also publish after we've developed it).

Please continue having fun spoiling your pal! There are still 6 weeks to go, so don't stop now! Keep in touch with your pal, and if you are running short of ideas, e-mail your hostess who I'm sure would be happy too help you out.
