The sign-up deadline will be Monday, November 23th. That way you can utilize the Thanksgiving holiday sales!
RULES:
Please post the responses to the questionnaire here on the forum (and if you can think of anything else that would be helpful, please do add it! We can never know TOO much...well, wait, I suppose we actually could...but you know what I mean Wink ). Then please pm me your forum name, real name, and mailing address.
Deadline to mail gifts out will be December 16th (that is a Wednesday, so that people should have them in hand before whichever holiday they choose to celebrate (remember, Festivus is on the 23rd this year...and every year). Don't feel like you need to spend a small fortune! I know this year has been rough for a lot of people financially. As always, the minimum price is a stamp and an envelope. In the past, people have received books, faire accessories, faire favors, CDs, DVDs, calendars, all kinds of beautiful hand made items...be creative!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE (I cannot say please enough on this one!!!), if you think there is a chance that you will not be able to afford to do this, do NOT sign up! Wait until May when we start our Midsummer Exchange again. It is not fair to the person who is waiting for a gift to have their secret gift fairy back out at the last minute. I *do* understand that sometimes unexpected situations happen after you have signed up...if that is the case, just let me know, and I will get your person rematched. But if you are expecting to be a little short on dough this year, please do not sign up!

NO, it's not a dumb question. Yes anyone can sign up.
QuotePLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE (I cannot say please enough on this one!!!), if you think there is a chance that you will not be able to afford to do this, do NOT sign up! Wait until May when we start our Midsummer Exchange again. It is not fair to the person who is waiting for a gift to have their secret gift fairy back out at the last minute. I *do* understand that sometimes unexpected situations happen after you have signed up...if that is the case, just let me know, and I will get your person rematched. But if you are expecting to be a little short on dough this year, please do not sign up!

Quote from: Dinobabe on October 27, 2009, 01:21:07 PM
The sign-up deadline will be Monday, November 23th. That way you can utilize the Thanksgiving holiday sales!
Deadline to mail gifts out will be December 16th (that is a Wednesday, so that people should have them in hand before whichever holiday they choose to celebrate (remember, Festivus is on the 23rd this year...and every year). Don't feel like you need to spend a small fortune! I know this year has been rough for a lot of people financially. As always, the minimum price is a stamp and an envelope. In the past, people have received books, faire accessories, faire favors, CDs, DVDs, calendars, all kinds of beautiful hand made items...be creative!
I will send out matches on Tuesday morning, let all of those last minute people join in! ;)
And if you would like to receive a holiday card from some of the wonderful people that would like to do so please let me know that it is OK to share your mailing information. 8)

Mines all ready, hope to ship tomorrow, but it costs too much ill ship friday (pay day!)
After days of fruitless searching around town, found a little something on-line, and having it shipped direct. I couldn't put a 'who from', so if you get something unexpected and anonymous, it's probably me...
Haven't shipped my package yet but will do so hopefully by this weekend.
I'm still trying to find that perfect something. Boy, this one is throwing me for a loop!
Finished shopping today! Package going out Wednesday USPS!!!

Thank Thee Capn Faye... your package arrived today. The gentle scent of lavender is wafting about my apartment courtesy of one of your candles. The sugar free candy might last until Christmas (he said while smacking his lips). Your card has been added to those decorating the Renaissance Bubble Machine. A most wondrous and mellow conclusion to a rather blah work day. Thanks once more............ Felix the Bubble Wright ;D ;D ;D
Tracker says it was delivered today at 12:26.
Capn Faye......
I am so glad you enjoyed the gifts.
When I saw the candle holder, I knew that was yours!!! :D
Did you find the sham~rock {LOL!}, too?
Have a wonderful holiday!!!

Glad you liked them. To get them out in time I had to have them direct shipped, and tried to get the shipper to do a from card, but to no avail.
checked tracking...it was delivered monday...i hope it was delivered to the right address...
I did, Irish! I did! It's sitting right here beside me! It's super cute! :D
Thank you Hoowil !
I think everyone in my house is tired of me making them chime. ( If only I could put it on my belt.) Better not too many people would smack me because of my back problems but I would if I could.
I got a card from Windchime today! Yay! Were you my gift exchange person?
Nope.
I thought since I had your address I could send you your rosary so I wouldn't mix it up with everything else I have been working on. :) I've got the begining of the crafting bug since I have a lot more items to make to fill the new booth in Ohio. ;)
Then I sent you a little bonus cuz I know you like to read. :-*
My package has a "Scheduled Delivery Date: 12/18/2009"
Thanks for all the cards I've gotten so far and the ones I've yet to receive! I love doing the exchange and sending out cards was a fun bonus this time! My door frame that I put cards on is nearly full! *hugs to everyone* I love you guys!
Cher, my offer for Ohio still stands dearie!
Thank you! I loved the book mark! It's my favorite color :)
I finally settled on my gift, and will get it out this weekend. Sorry it's taken so long, but I got "gift stumped".
Postman picked mine up today. I have cards to go through yet and if it wasn't for a major malfunction with a particular retail chain I would have cards going out today also. Alas they won't be ready until Friday. Proper thanks will be given after I have a chance to sit down at the house.
Got mine shipped out priority mail today. Hopefully my person will get it soon!
Amazon assures me that my secret friend will receive their gift by Christmas....*fingers crossed*
Mine got shipped out priority mail this morning ;D. Should be there in a couple of days.
Thanks to Lady Everclear, CapnFayeCutler, and irish for the cards. It was a nice surprise.

Thank you to CapnFayeCutler, Irish, and Lady Everclear for the cards! I found them in my mailbox on Monday and was thoroughly delighted! :D
Lady Everclear, CapnFayeCutler, and Irish; it was so very kind of you to think of all of us and send cards. They were very cute! Mine are hanging in my sewing room. :)
Windchime, thank you so much for the wonderful gifts! It's been stressful at work lately (I work retail), so the Whack a Zombie is perfect for relieving some of that stress! The little garden gnome already has a spot in our flowers by the mailbox. I don't have many favors, so it was nice to get another one :) The bookmark is beautiful! Did you make it? I already have the kids and co-workers figuring out what they want me to crochet for them out of the book lol. I like how the Creepy Cute stuff isn't your normal run of the mill cutesy crochet type stuff. Thank you so much!! Everything was perfect!
Oooooh thank you Chuck'N M'Crack!
Love the pirate coasters and the two candles smell great! The blue pin will end up on one of my hats for sure and the Xmas wreath pin is perfect for the holidays. I'm wearing the pretty star necklace and the two leather cuffs, one with pirate decor the other with my character name are wonderful! I can truly say, "I've been cuffed." Can't wait to wear those to an event!
Screw the event, I'm wearing them now!!

I got my gift this morning! like an hour before I left...Thank you so much Pinn M'Crack! I was wondering when I'd get that dress pattern from you...Of course at that time i didn't know you were gifting to me! The pins are lovely, candles smell wonderful and the necklace is so pretty!
Melissandra,
You are very welcome for the gifts. I normally work retail but have been saved kinda because my Dr. won't let me return to work until Feb. Yes, I did make the bookmark and the tassle too. I thought everyone could use something to beat this time of year and what better then a zombie. The book I had been looking at for a couple of days but I can't crochet , then I seen on your list you like to do it and thought it was so much better then the normal books you always see. I'm really glad you like everything.
Due to unforeseen expenses and current illness the holiday cards were mailed this morning by my son. I mailed my gift myself today, priority mail. I almost threw up on the bus and almost at the post office. It would not have been a pretty picture but it was worth the trip. I hope the gift arrives in time. Enjoy!
Capn Faye thank you for the card. It was a pleasant surprise.
Lady Rebecca, I have been showing off my bookends. I love them. Dan and Andy (my sons) laughed when they read the card the part about the evil step-sister. They thought of my sister. How true it is. I've also had to fight with them they wanted to take my scarf. Again, Thank You.
To all, Happy Holiday and Happy New Year!
Big Hugs.
I'm rather concerned that the gift I sent was delivered to the wrong address...It was delivered monday and I've yet to hear anything :( this could be bad cuz there were perishables...
Thank you, to all who sent a card! I am sure, the mailman was wondering.......'who the heck is Irish?' LOL! :D
I just went down the list and sent mine that way. Hope everyone got theirs!
Have a great holiday!!!
irish ;D {Florence}
Thank you, Celtic Lady, for the gifts! The CD's are awesome and the candle smells like my favorite perfume! Thank you so much. Merry Christmas! :D
Melissandra, got your package today, The candles are lovely. The "faire" one does smell like faire and I have it lit right now. The little bit of TX I enjoy. And the key chain is awesome. Thank you so much. Pin'n M'Crack
Lady M THANK YOU!! My fairie wind glass is so beautiful! Edward is my favorite Cullen man! :D
Dinobabe, I'm so glad you liked them. When you said you liked clean scents I knew exactly what to get you... it's one of my favorites, too. If water had a smell it would be like that :D.
I just got a crap ton of christmas cards from people... THANKS!!!

It is with great regret that I must inform you the wonderful cookies perished at the hands and gnashing teeth of the ravenous horde of heathen children that inhabit the household. I did get a few though. The glaze on the cookies rocks.
I hope you will forgive the slow posting. Tis been a wee bit busy at work and I haven't had much time to get to the important stuff like dropping in here. :D
I was so worried they were lost in the mail. I would have hated for you to end up with nothing Cormac! I'm so glad you enjoyed them, and I'm glad your children did too hahaha. Family recipes are the greatest aren't they.
Got my gift in the mail today. The ring is very pretty. Thank you, Sonata!
Whew, I was afraid it wouldn't get there in time! You're welcome Lady Everclear, I'm glad you like it! :)
I've gotten bunches of beautiful cards! Thank you all so much!
Kymberleigh, the pouch, hot cocoa, phone charm and mug are AWESOME! I can't wait to use the mug for the hot cocoa! The triskele on the mug is gorgeous!! Perfect symbol for me, for several reasons! The phone charm is gonna be put with the faire favors (I'm a little rough with phones, don't wanna break it!) I've received! Did you make the pouch? It's wonderful, and just the size I needed!
Thank you again!!!!!
I love the cards I have been getting! They are so sweet and wonderful! :-*
Recieved a wonderful gift and hope the one that I sent out is liked as well......This has been the 2nd time I have participated in the exchange and both times have been wonderful surprises.....
OMG Auryn you are my new favorite person!! I LOVE MY NEW BOX! I love it when people get me NMBC stuff. Warms the dark cold recesses of my heart, it does LOL.
In other news, my gift finally went out today. I'm so damn late...
Dearest Ottheinrich -
I am afraid that I owe you an apology. I posted my thank you on Sunday night, but I have no idea where it went. Anyway, I will say again, thank you so much for my beautiful oil lamp. I am thrilled to have such a unique piece of art, and I must say that your taste is exquisite. (Just for everyone else's information , it is a beautiful butterfly oil lamp, hand-painted, ON THE INSIDE, of mouth blown glass, and it even came in a lovely blue velvet box. And of course, he was thoughtful enough to send the oil to go in it.)
Again, thank you so much. I love it, and I wish you a wonderful holiday!
Thank you Lady M for my Christmas card. I will send you one back as soon as someone who can drive gets here. I still can not drive and it is driving me crazy.
I received my gifts today!
Thank you Cormac !
I love the leather skirt hikers...... ::)
and the leather parasol holder is so nice! {Did you make them?}
My brother has tried to steal the Galileo Weather/Thermometer, for his office!
I told him hands off BUB! LOL! :D
Thank you again!

The skirt hikes and parasol holder were made with my modest skills. I also do mug straps if you ever find yourself in need. Quick story. The parasol holder is version 3.0 and I about have it where I want it. After recieving complaints about having to thread everything on the belt first I figured I would add a button so it can be strapped on after the belt is in place. I do hope the brown leather works with your garb.
I am gratefull that the the Thermometer made it in one piece. I had my doubts as I packed it. Chalk one up for USPS.
Glad you enjoyed.

Im happy you like it.
So, did everyone who signed up receive something for the exchange?
Looks like we had a great exchange this year! Thank you everyone, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year! ;)
I know that I LOVED my gift. I was super late getting my package out, due to all sorts of things being thrown into the mix. I'm always scrambled this time of year, because our faire closes less than one month before Christmas. So then, I have to make sure that I get everything done that I've neglected for 2 months prior LOL. Anywho, again, sorry so late, it won't happen next time :D
I'm guessing Blue got my name, as nothing has arrived yet, but thats ok. I usually run a bit behind too.
Yeah, I'm a bad monkey LOL. I got the gift finally, then ran into issues getting it mailed... it was a cluster f**k, if you know what I mean LOL! I sent something to make up for it though, to make your faire days a little more interesting *snerk*...
Blue
I am so glad you like it.
I was starting to get worried cause I mailed it like on the 14th.
I got my gift from dinobabe, its an awesome hand made pouch for my belt. I really needed one so awesome job thanks

Glad you liked it! I tried to go with what you listed as your favorite colors.
Mine was late, too! Sorry about that! Christmas time can be the worst sometimes. ;)
Has everyone who received a gift posted? I would hate that someone's gift was lost. I appreciate everyone's participation, patience, and enthusiasm! I hope we can do this again in the summer! ;)
It took me forever, but mine did go out, right before xmas. I hope it got to where it was supposed to go!
I had issues getting mine out, but I let my reciever know...so all's good here!!
