Once again, it's time for the annual Homemade Ornament Exchange!
For those of you who missed it last year, or else just need a refresher, here's how it works: I post this in my blog, along with my email address. If you are wanting a homemade ornament, send your mailing address to vg_ford(at)yahoo(dot)com by November 25th, and I'll send you one. In no way does this make you obligated to make ornaments of your own; if you do wish to, however, post this in your blog (just replacing my email address with yours).
Some things to keep in mind if you're participating:
-A gift is a gift, not an obligation. If I send you an ornament don't pressure yourself or feel guilty thinking you have to make me one in return.
-Ornaments have to be made by hand by you. Putting a ribbon on a store-bought ornament does not count! It can be as fancy as a stained-glass star or crocheted and beaded garland, or as simple as a felt gingerbread man or candy-cane reindeer with pipe cleaner antlers. Whatever it is, it's got to be homemade!
-Because I'm paying for shipping (and so are you, if you're making ornaments), if multiple ornaments can be sent to the same address then please let me know.
-If you're making ornaments, try to have them sent out by the first of December. People who are overseas, this means the ornament will probably arrive by Christmas but it might not.
-Don't bankrupt yourself making and shipping ornaments. Keep it within your means. Be creative and see what you can make with things you already have!
-When sending your address, also mention any special requests or instructions (for example, if you're doing your tree all in one color this year, or you don't like a certain thing or really love a certain thing). Your request might not be met but I'll at least try.
