2011 Crafty Nestie Ornament Exchange Information and Sign-up!!
if you would like to participate in this year's Crafty Nestie Ornament Exchange, please reveiw the following:
Make it with yarn, paper, fabric, glitter or glue--it's up to you! Let your creative juices flow to create an ornament (or two) for a fellow Crafty Nestie. Keep the cost of your materials to $5.00 or less--it's the craftsmanship that is PRICELESS! Once names have been drawn, you will have an opportunity to anonymously ask your recipient questions to get a better idea of how to personalize your ornament. If you have any questions regarding the exchange, feel free to post them over on the craft board. When you receive your ornament, don't forget to PIP on the board! I know we all can't wait to see everyone's creations!
If you can COMMIT to this project and it's timelines, then sign up at the following link
http://www.elfster.com/exchange/view/5159165/fd4be4/
The name draw is set to happen in about two weeks, so hopefully that gives time for anyone who is interested to sign up. I'll repost this a few times between now and then, but you only need to sign up once. Please make sure your nestie name is included somehow in your Elfster profile so that we "know" who you are 
If you have any questions about how the exchange works, feel free to post it here. Fellow nesties--feel free to respond if you know the answer to the question asked. I am not always able to check this daily and don't want to leave anyone "hanging!"

To include your nestie name in your Elfster profile simply sign into your Elfster account. Click on "settings" in the upper right corner. Click on profile and change your real name. Many of us do real name (nestie name)--ex: Julie (Justinlove).
Also, if you have MOVED since the last elfster exchange, don't forget to change your address in elfster! Again, log in, click "settings" and change your mailing address.

It was REALLY hard to do--I mean, it took almost 4 minutes. That's 4 minutes I'll never get back

She did. I didn't want to step on her toes, so I looked up her bio to see if she is still around. Looks like she is hanging out on her local board. Her last craft post was back in March.
