Christmas Ornament Swap 2014
[h=2]Christmas Ornament Swap 2014[/h]
Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. It is time to have some fun. This will be the Fifth Annual Christmas Ornament Swap. Here are the details and if you have any questions PM me. Christmas/Holiday Ornament Swap Guidelines: 1. Sign up by October 19th 2014. Mail on November 14, 2014. Please make sure you have tracking on your package. It just makes it easier in the event a package is delayed or lost in the system. I know it's not alot of time to decide and signup then get them done but I have faith in all of you. Besides I just learned that the swap needed a host and what can say I cant live without the ornament swap. LOL 2. Ornament should be handmade. It doesn't *have* to be quilted, but it does have to be handmade. 3. Each person can do up to two ornaments. 4. This will be a direct person to person mailing to save postage. I will PM you the person (people) that you are sending to by October 21st. 5. This will be an international swap so if mailing internationally is a concern for you, please let me know in a PM. 6. If you would like to participate, please PM me the following information: Screen name: Real name: Address: phone number (for host use only if needed). # of ornaments that you want to swap (1 or 2). Can you mail internationally? Any information that will make it easier for your partner to pick the correct types of ornaments to make for you. EX. small tree, no tree, color schemes, themes. 7. Make sure that you enclose a note to let your person know who you are ! 8. Please read the guidelines for all swaps on the board at this linkhttp://www.quiltingboard.com/t-20154-1.htm 9. Have Fun getting ready for the holidays and let your creativity flow! PM me is you have any questions. 10. This is a secret swap and you will not necessarily be mailing to the same person you will receive from. 11. Please PM me with your tracking info when you have sent your package and PM me once you receive a package so I can also try to keep track of everything. 12. Please have patience with me, this is the largest swap by far I have done so I will be making sure I am getting it right by taking my time, but not to much. PROMISE :thumbup: Last but not least, Have fun, fun, fun, and more fun. Of course, Ill see you in the hole. LOL :shock: |

Just looked through the slide shows. Yikes! So much talent! I hope I can do something as wonderful. The bar has been set VERY high! :shock:

Patches, relax this swap is for all levels and we love anything people do their best at. Have fun
Kiffie, yes it is okay to spread the word. The more the merrier. Just tell them to hurry signups end this Sunday. TiltedEars, thanks for sharing. ctyankee - You know its calling your name. Listen carefully .....................CTYANKEE. Did you hear that? Rose or should I say MOM, yes Ana knows about it and I spoke to her last night. She said that she was signing up after finishing playing WOW. You know how she is when playing her games. Lost for awhile. |
Hey, is anyone down here. Here I am in the hole ready to celebrate all the people who are signing up and no one is here with me. Who am I supposed to share my cheesecake and apple cider with? Come see me please, I am lonely.
Dont make me start sending people to the hole just so I have company. LOL |
Yeah, Ana joined us. Loves Sis.
|
I'm in for one ornament also. This is always a fun swap to be in or just to follow. TiltedEars posted a reminder on the pin cushion swap. Thanks. Mary

Welcome to the hole Dedemac, passing the cider.
I thought I knew for sure what I was going to make also, then today a friend mentioned a new pattern she got for her embroidery machine and now I am thinking, should I. Oh the decisions, good thing we can send more than one ornament to each partner if we wish. Speaking of making, I think I am going to work on one now while I wait for laundry and watch a little netflix. Catch you ladies in a while before I go to bed. |
I'm in again. Love these swaps. PM has been sent.
|
Put me in, coach!! I'm ready to play….. Does anyone remember the song about football by (I think) Andy Griffith?
Now, I'm telling my age…. |
