Yup, it’s that time of year again!
This year we have a bunch of new people that I think might really like this swap! If you weren’t here last year here’s how it works:Last year we had a little handmade ornament swap for the holidays. Everyone who signed up received the name of another participant and made a special holiday ornament for them(the person you send to will not be the same person who sends to you). The idea is to use whatever art and craft supplies you have on hand and make an ornament and receive an ornament that someone else made especially for you! The past two years we had an amazing variety of different mediums used: embellished applique ornaments, hand painted balls, beaded glass ornaments, hand crafted dragons, just to name a few!
**SIGN-UPS ARE OPEN UNTIL FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11TH (8am EST)** This year, I’m going to do it like the other swaps, it seems to be a great system! On November 11th I will shuffle the names and send you the name and likes of your recipient. On November 24th, I will PM you and ask you about your progress (photos welcome, but not required). Please respond by Wed, November 30th.
**LAST DAY to SHIP IS DECEMBER 3RD**To sign up PM me your:
REAL NAME:
ADDRESS:
WHAT HOLIDAY YOU CELEBRATE (if any):
A FEW WORDS TO DESCRIBE WHAT YOU LIKE TO INSPIRE YOUR CRAFTER(do you decorate in a certain color? Do you have a favorite animal/mythical creature that you like to put on a tree? ETC.ETC.ETC.)
ARE YOU INTERESTED IN SHIPPING INTERNATIONALLY OR DOMESTICALLY? (Last year we had about an even number of participants from both the US and Canada. If you’re not able to ship internationally this year, just let me know and I’ll pick someone who is domestic to you).**I will send you a confirmation within 24 hours, if you don’t hear from me within 24 hours, PM me again**
Let’s have some fun!
This may be a very small group of people this year, but we will still have fun! Please if you sign up, COMMUNICATE if you are running behind or something comes up. The mail service last year was very wonky. It is recommended to ship with tracking this year, as we had one ornament go missing entirely and another take 2 weeks to arrive due to misrouting by the postal service. 🙁
oh, I’ve participated in the past and it’s great fun! Money is tight, but maybe I can, I have felt and clay and some blank balls…
We have 4 people so far! Signups close Friday morning, so I can send out notifications/swapee info that evening.
Just a note, I’ll have this thread moved to the Swaps category later this week. So if you don’t see it in the Community thread, check there. 🙂
Sign-Ups are CLOSED. I’ll update the first post as soon as I figure out how to edit in the new system.
I’ll send out swapee information tonight. 🙂
Ornament swap information has been sent! Let me know if anyone didn’t receive their swapee’s info or if you have questions.
We have four participants this year. We are small in number, but we will still have fun! 🙂Just an update: Thread is now moved to the SWAPS section of the forum. I also found out from a MOD that you can’t edit posts after about 5 minutes or so of the post being posted, so I will not be able to edit the initial post of this thread.
Can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with! 🙂
Mine should go out Tuesday, but it will go out priority, so it shouldn’t take long to get to its destination.
I got mine! And Pipsxich you’re amazing, they’re lovely! I can’t wait to show everyone!
Finding happiness again.
I got mine today. It is a gorgeous macaw ornament. Unfortunately, the post office did not treat it well. It was snapped in half when I opened it. 🙁
But it does look like I can glue it and it won’t really show. 🙂
I’ll takes pics after I glue it back together.Looking for-
red fire young dragon
old animal line frog, wolf, barn owl, tortoise, tiger cub
