Ornament Exchange Sign-up

I went ahead and set up an exchange through Elfster.  Sign-up deadline is October 31st with a drawing date of November 1st.  We'll all have a month to make and send off our ornaments to our elves!  That way we can be sure they'll arrive in time to adorn some trees. 
Please please please, if you sign up make sure you can commit to make and sending off an ornament.  It's great fun being crafty and making something for another person, but it's disappointing when you do not get something in return.
Once the drawing happens, be sure to ask your elf some questions (anonymously of course) so you can get a really good idea about what to make special for them. Once ornaments start arriving, go ahead and share what you received and who you received it from on the Craft board.  That's part of the fun!
If you know anyone that would be interested, please direct them to the site and here.  Make sure to include your Nest name in your Elfster profile.
As long as we have more than 3 people, this should be a lot of fun!  :)
So go, sign up!

**UPDATE**
 I moved the signup date deadline to November 3rd to give people more of a chance to join in.  Giving deadline is now December 3rd so we'll have a month to work with and still enough time for people to use their ornaments to decorate with!

    Yay!  I'm trying to figure out how to spread the news, because I know this board doesn't see much traffic anymore.  I might have to extend the sign-up deadline a bit if more don't sign up.

  • I sent an invite to some of the people that participated last year.  I tried to limit it to the ones that I know were active in asking and answering questions in last years exchange but I probably missed a few!

  • I got the invite via my gmail. I'm glad you did that so I could sign up. Wasn't even thinking about it yet.
  • Maybe we should open it to other forums just in case there are crafters out there that would like to take part but do not look at this board that often.

  • We could.  Any suggestions?  I know I only hang out on the book board and here.

  • I also hang out both those places. Let me think....

  • We have 6 people so far. Yay!
    I can make a post about it on the book board on Monday.  I'm sure there are crafty people other than us there. 
    I have a hunch though that there will probably be an exchange of some sort for the holidays over there too, but we'll see.
    I'm game for participating in both, so maybe others will be as well.
