Let's get our ISOs posted so we can all get juicy mail by the middle of April or so! So girls, no unresolved negative feedback, positive feedback either here or somewhere accessable to everyone like Ebay and you need to have been a member for at least 6 months (if you have tons of great feedback, I think this rule can be waived. PM me) Post lists until April 1st. Send in choices by the 3rd, send by the 10th.

ETA - $25.00 value before shipping.

OK, I did the best I could. I couldn't include a few people, but I think we got almost everyone. Thanks mamas who helped!

If anyone sees any mistakes, please LMK.
