It's time for the annual ornament exchange!

[justinlove]

If you've been around this board and TB before this, you know one of our favorite projects is the annual handmade ornament exchange.  If you are interested in participating, please sign up on the elfster link.  If you are not a regular poster, please post here with links to threads you have created or participated in.  This is only to try to limit the exchange to those who actually participate in the board and avoid the dreaded "non-senders."  

The sign up deadline is October 29, drawing takes place on the 30th and the ornaments must be sent by November 30.

Yay! I sat out last year as a newb. Can't wait for this year's exchange!

[cmeon]

Is it that time again? YAY!

[cgpm]

Hooray!

[aprilsails]

Thanks justinlove! So excited!

I'm organizing one for my Modern Quilt Guild too.

[drloretta]

[shortcake2675]

Yay! I signed up. Thanks for organizing justinlove!

[reinedumonde]

Ooh! I'm excited!!

[SpartanGirl]

Yay!! I stopped by the board today just to see if the ornament exchange was up and running yet.

[SpartanGirl]

And of course, THANK YOU for setting it up again.

[adhdfashion]

Yes! Love this.

I know I'm newish, but is it a problem if I joined in?
I participated on the craft board back on the nest for 3 years, running it last year. Obviously the last two years not many people participated over there. I had planned on running one over there again this year, but it's already like pulling teeth trying to communicate with people, so I think I'm cancelling it, but the craft exchange is one of my favorite parts of the holiday.
If it's not ok, I understand, but I'm not flaky, I've got history to prove it. =p

[mary]

Yay! Very exciting!

[hunniapple]

Awesome! I'll definitely be participating!

Yay, it IS! I read this and immediately headed to see who my match is. So fun!

[justinlove]

The names have been matched and you should receive an email or you can log in directly to elfster to see who you are paired up with! Now comes the fun part. You can use elfster to ask your match questions to find out a little more about her and her style Happy Crafting!!

[menrandes]

I'm so excited about this! I went shopping over the weekend to get supplies!

[fromage]

I didn't sign up this year because I haven't been around much but I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!

[mary]

I started testing my technique with the ornament design I picked yesterday! So excited!

[menrandes]

I'm sending my stuff out on Wednesday! I'm so excited to see what my elf thinks. =)

I never had anyone ask me questions on Elfster...I'm wondering if that's weird.

[shortcake2675]

I finished mine early this morning. Mailing Monday. I almost missed this year's questions on elfster. Stupid thing wasn't sending me notifications.

Where can you see on elfster if any have been asked?  I tried looking in case I missed it.

If you log in and click on your name at the top left, then lower on the left side there is a secret Q&A tab you can click and see any questions asked of you.

No new questions!  Oh well, I've answered so many in past exchanges I'm sure no one even needs to ask any! 

[egeiger]

Mine are going out today. I am in panic mode that they aren't good enough for my Elfster match. :/ She is just.... so much more skilled than I am!!

[drloretta]

I'll mail mine early next week when I get back from Thanksgiving. Worked on it last night, and it's so cute!

[cgpm]

Mine will also go out early next week. I have it almost done, but I may scrap it and re-doing it if I don't end up liking the final product. We'll see how it turns out.

[cmeon]

Mine should be in the mail this weekend (ON TIME?!!)- I can't wait until the reveals start, it's so fun to see what everyone came up with!
