I'll provide Q&A from Elfster & helpful links to make sure your exchange runs as smoothly as possible. If you have any questions, feel free to send me a PM or post your questions on the specific yearly exchange thread.
The exchange signup begins late Nov-early Dec each year and runs until 20 Dec. We ask that participants stay in touch via the Elfster exchange thread or the SOS chat threat. so we know everyone received their book.
