Holiday Swap/ Secret Santa
in Crafts
Hi Ladies!
I was not around on the craft board last year, but do we do a Holiday Swap/Secret Santa type deal? I was just thinking about it. 
If you don't or did not last year, would you want to this year? Hand made gift swap for the holidays?
I figure we should start it in the next month or two since I know a lot of us are starting to work on holiday crafts

We did an ornament exchange last year and it was so neat seeing what all people came up with.
I think it would be neat to do a christmas craft bases on our speciality. Example: I am mostly a paper crafter so I might do a set of cards for my person or make her something with my bind-it-all and cricut or something else.
I really enjoyed our Ornament Exchange from last year. I loved seeing everyone's creations and each time someone got something it was like Christmas for all of us!
But I do love the craft specialty idea too. And it gives those who don't celebrate Christmas to be part of the fun. Maybe those who don't could specify that in their Elfster profile/wishlist. Those of us who dabble in everything, might have a difficult decision to make. lol.

Like everyone has mentioned, we did the ornament exchange through elfster. I cannot remember when we set it up (sometime in mid-October). The exchange date was November 30th and there was a $5 limit. I personally like the ornament exchange because everyone's end product is of a similar "theme" and they are small and inexpensive to ship.
