2020 Crafts Ornament Exchange

[shortcake2675]

I didn’t ask this year. We are doing this.

Sign up by Oct 14, mail by Nov 23.

I’m having a harder time being excited about anything, but the email from Elfster this am that they want me back and it was time to start the next exchange did excite me a little.

Hope y’all can join me!

I haven’t participated in a couple of years but I am all in this year! If I can’t get together with lovely crafty people in real life then please send me lovely crafty things in the mail!

[mala]

are we reeeeely going to wait until the 15th to draw names?

[shortcake2675]

Maybe? I wanted to give people who don’t come here often a chance to sign up.

Do you want to post in ML, CEP, and MM? What other boards are really active?

ETA: "you" doesn't mean you specifically, I should have said "we" as in the general craft board.

[shortcake2675]

I’m ok with keeping it small and just Crafts. I don’t want to police a bunch of new people.

But I’ll think more on it if the collective Crafts y’all want to expand it.

[egeiger]

I want in! Haven’t had time the last few years but this year... making time!

[notreal]

Slightly off topic, but, I don't have a crafty bone in my body, and I really look forward to seeing what you guys exchange every year, it's very aspirational for me, so I am glad y'all are doing this.

[cereal K]

Oh! I wanna play! I love love love ornaments!

ETA: What are the “rules” here? Handmade only or store-bought too? Should we put anything in our Elfster profile regarding colors or decor/celebration-style preferences?

Handmade, try to spend less than $15 in materials.  You can give any information that will help your elf figure out what to make for you.  We've all tried to tailor the ornaments for the recipients over the years.  More info is usually good.  Also, not required (I suck at doing this) you can include a little treat or whatever. 

Glad to have you!

Hey! We’re almost to draw time and you folks are on the invite but haven’t said yes or no yet. Will you be joining us this year?

The last day to sign up is Wednesday!

[BlondeSpiders]

Oh gosh, I love participating in this, but I just packed up my craft room to move at the end of the month. I don't know if I'll be unpacked by mid-November.

I'll try again next year! But I can't wait to see all your pics.

[cocomojo]

I haven't been on in a long time but I just responded that I am in! Not feeling very holiday-ish this year so this just might be the ticket to get me in the mood!

I’d be happy to trade with you after you get unpacked.

Attempting to fix the notifications —- they didn’t work in the OP.

[oregonpachey]

Sure, sign me up. Sorry I didn't respond earlier. I have been debating back and forth what to make.

Names were drawn.

Names were drawn.

NAMES. WERE. DRAWN.



I'm really excited this year, can you tell?

[adhdfashion]

Huh, I was matched. I went back to the email. Clicked to go ask the person a question. Then elfster made me log back in and it said I wasn't matched?
I hope you guys didn't kick me out! LoL I make really cute Christmas ornaments.

[adhdfashion]

I didn't realize, I had two accounts on elfster and logged in with wrong one. Man, I need another cup of coffee!
