It's that time again and despite the stunning weather lulling everyone into a false sense of security it's only 84 days till Christmas. the Secret Santa Sign Up's are now officially open.

Any active member of the forum is welcome to join, but you must have been a member for at least 3 weeks prior to this post date. (you must have 25+ Posts)
Your gift must be handmade by you.
Your present is to be sent recorded delivery no later than Saturday 3rd December (please wrap it up nicely ~ If you aren't skilled in wrapping gifts, then ask someone you know to do it for you!!!)
It’s obviously hard to put a cost on a present, as different craft materials vary so much. So we have decided to say a material cost of up to £5. Just try to make your gift special for your recipient !
Cut off date to join and be a Secret Santa is 31st October and I will try and get your recipients details to you by that following week.

Unless you pm me your name & address, you will not be signed up.

If you are willing to be an angel (ie if a participant pulls out to provide a second gift) please let me know.http://planetsmilies.net/xmas-smiley-4619.gif
Please do not sign up unless you are committed. If you do have any issues that may effect your ability to take part then please let me know ASAP

http://planetsmilies.net/xmas-smiley-4617.gifENJOY!!!http://planetsmilies.net/xmas-smiley-7733.gif

We will not be having a "what do I want" thread as this adds pressure to the people making your gift and as your gift will be created with love ... that's all that matters!

(Indri can you decorate the thread for me ~ Thanks!)

Sign up's as at 10.38am (if I am still waiting for your address you aren't yet signed up!)

[StefC]

I shan't join this year (too embarrassing) but I shall remember for next year.

Yet another reason to get on and make properly - I feel the need to show my thanks to you motley crafting crew!

:kiss:

[MornieG Jewellery]

Come on Stef, I've looked at your blog nothing is THAT bad. :o This is all about the thought and effort someone puts into the gift, not how complicated it is. Something small and simple but made to the best of your ability is as appreciated as a big flash flamboyant gift from an experienced crafter.

Come on, do join in :jump: it's fun.
