    Default 2011 Christmas Ornament Exchange!!

    2011 Christmas Ornament Exchange

    Can you believe it's that time already? Just thought I would give a head's up on what will soon be here!! Last year was a wonderful success - with no duplication of ornament design- amazing!!

    Looking forward to this year's exchange - Please respond to this thread if your interested.

    The rules for this exchange are:

    ~you must sign up by Sept. 25th. That way those who are in the exchange will know exactly how many ornaments to send out.
    ~ornaments can be made or purchased.
    ~they must be received by me by Nov. 15th no later - no exceptions so that they can be mailed out by the next week. That way everyone gets their ornaments on time for Christmas.

    ~You will send as many ornaments as sign up, plus one for Sara. i.e. If there are 5 who sign up, you will send 6 ornaments. If there are 15 who sign up, you will send 16 ornaments. (Thought it would be nice to continue this tradition!!)
    ~[COLOR="Black"]please attach your user name to each ornament in some way so that other members will know who the ornament is from.


    Last year some participants generously made donations to help with postage. If possible, it would help if you could include a dollar or two to help defray the cost of shipping - and if you cannot, don't worry - we still want you to participate!!


    Who would like to be in this annual ornament exchange?
    Please sign up here.

    I've never done the ornament exchange. So all the ornaments go to you and you mail them out instead of us mailing them directly? How many people were in it last year. Just to give me an idea.

    Thanks!

    Tervs, last year we had 17 participants. Sure hope you'll join us this year!!

    So with Dwnloom and Geckoace, we are at three already - all in the time it took me to drive to school. Hope it works out that you'll be joining us too Libby!! It just hit me this morning when I woke up that I had better get this started!!
