OMG PRINCYYYY <3!!!!

When I read that comment I got this big stupid grin on my face and started rocking back and forth in my chair so hard I could've fell over and died :).
YAYYYYYY!!!!!
PPS: Princy I'm so going to knit you all sorts of warm things so you'll be nice and sweaty on your Australian christmas <3.
This would also be a good excuse to try out that bikini pattern I found.... WINK WINK.


Heeeee! I made someone happy!

C'mon, guys, any comments/additions for the rules? If not we'll seriously get this started. And Kibben, I'll have an answer for you in a bit; I'm typing it up along with a final version for the rules and the dates.

1. You can request a partner, but if you don't then I will put you with someone randomly or based on what you can make and what they want.
2. There will be a timeline that looks something like this:
Day whatever: Deadline for signing up.
Day something: Partners are given.
Day something-else: Crafts should be finished (except in certain cases).
Day another-thing: Crafts should be sent.
Just so it moves along and all.
3. Just remember to use discretion. As in, don't send someone a plaster cast of a penis or whatever. Unless they ask for one.


Those are the final rules since nobody actually said anything else. KibBen, I realize that the whole point is to share things that we've made, but if somebody is only gonna make peenk earrings, I'm going to avoid pairing them with someone who hates pink and doesn't have pierced ears.

ANYWAYS THIS IS THE CURRENT TIMELINE
September 1st: Deadline for signing up. Is that too far off?
September 2nd: Partners are given.
October 1st: Crafts should be finished. Is that enough time?
October 15th: Crafts should be sent.

I hope that looks okay to you guys since I'm going away to Alaska this week. So official sign-ups start now; post what types of things you will make or if you'd rather have it be a surprise.

I am not sure that choosing your own partners is the ideal way for this to work?  I thought that exchanges are normally "pull the other person from a hat" deals.  I mean, if you guys want to do something together instead / as well as the exchange then that's all well and good, but normally these things are random to avoid problems.

Hey, I am not making the rules here, Ally is!  I was just suggesting something, I guess.  Just ignore me, most other people do!

So anyway, Ally's asked me to look after this while she's away.  Hopefully I won't make too much of a kibosh of it.  I think the best way for me to "look after it" is basically to do nothing unless one of you guys ask me to clarify something.  Sound good?

If any more of you want to pair up then please do so (mutually please, don't just hijack someone) and report back in this thread.  You don't have to pair up, I mean, if you'd prefer a surprise partner then by all means just throw your name in the hat and we'll draw random peoples.

First thing's first, go to that thread. In the music forum.
Then read from that thread how to get involved.

Then realise you're about 2 months too late and cry. Then wait until the winter exchange.

Note to self: Pay more attention.

I'll go with a random partner, and I'll draw a portrait of someone, or make a Nifty Shirt, or shoes, or something else I can get for pretty cheap. I'm not particular about what I get - so long as it's totally awesome.

I think that Ally's back home now, guys.  Hopefully she'll remember this thread and pick up where she left off, and she can start assigning partners, etc soon.

I've figured out what I am making next, but seeing as it's supposed to be a surprise (I think?) I won't reveal it/worklog until my craft exchange partner's received it.

FINAL LIST!

PM if you have a problem. It was a bit hard to tell who was definitely in, so if you’ve been left out, holler. Alternately, holler if you’ve changed your mind or you didn’t really want to be in or something. Or just holler.

Kibben – Princy
Iamyourpirate – Bibliophile
Redglasscurls – Spinless
Flag-of-Fire – Vergy
Tokuma – Filk
Stupiditykills – FreshJive787
Bainidhe – Dark Flame? (bainidhe if this is not okay please tell me asap)
Est – SWM
Ally – Ruyi

(Blue Kitty and Astaldo, are you guys in or not? I couldn’t quite tell.)

I’ve tried to match everyone up from what I know about you guys so that the crafts you make will be appreciated.
I am hellsa late on this so I’m going to extend the deadlines. I’M SORRY GUYSSS

Contact your partner by: September 15th
Craft should be done by: October 15th (my daddy’s birthday!)
Craft should be sent by: October 25th

So you can do something Halloween-y, if you like! I gave a generous amount of time for the crafts because I know some of you are nasty knitters and things and a good project can take a while if you are not Speedy Gonzales.

So, er, did I do okay?

The deadlines are recommended. If you miss one, it is up to your partner whether they care or not. I'm not gonna come to your house and stab you if you're a week late or something.

Oh no! I think this is a fantastic idea, but I seem to be too late; you've already started. Shame. I could have made someone a fantastic skirt or something. ;_; I was hoping to get someone to knit me some warm gloves, or make me something nifty. Anything, really. It is fun to be suprised!

If anyone else arrives late, can they partner with me? Maybe? *puppy eyes*
