Well it has been a while since we started into the 'system'.
I just think a reminder of the process might be in order. Also how many are participating.

Just a general reminder so we can be prepared.
My memory ain't what it used to was!

Sign up is in The Coffee Shop ( 2010 Christmas Ornament Exchange )
All information is in the post.

Cut off date to sign up will be Sunday October 31st.
For our overseas shipments you will need to ship ornaments out no later than November 25th so your ornament has time to get there or to the states.
Mail out date for stateside members is December 1st.
I think that should be plenty of time for everyone.

After the October 31, I will have the database randomly pair names. You will then receive an e-mail from me the first week of November giving you your exchange partners information. If you have not recieved an e-mail by midnight November 7th e-mail me and send me a private message in the forum.

As of today October 8th 2010 we have 27 members signed up.

I have not recieved an e-mail with Name, Address etc. from:

There it is Folks!

If you want to participate get your info in to Russ by the end of this month!

27 participating so far...That figures out to about 2% of our membership if my math is correct!

I encourage everyone to join in and enjoy the true spirit of Giving and Receiving a Special Gift this Holiday Season.

Whether you be a total 'newbie' of a lifetime scroller makes no difference!
It is the Fun and Experience of Giving and Receiving a very Special Gift!

Everyone! Please join in and let's enjoy a Special Holiday together.

Steven,  This is not a skill contest.  Please sign up.  We are all excited to get whatever we get.  The simplest of ornaments can be the most beautiful.

That's right Julie...

It is not about skill, talent, saw, wood, finish, etc.

It is about sharing and caring!

As said, skills ain't the issue!
I only scroll about 1 3/4 year.
The idea that someone, maybe on the other side of the world, has taken time and effort to give me an ornament Is so great!
 
sharing is the christmas spirit here, so everyone sign up
