Secret Santa

[Kathryn41 3,205]

Ornaments sound fine here as well - and if someone is creative, a home made ornament can be really nice (and inexpensive for someone who is financially stressed ). I was thinking of doing something representing my 'area' but ornaments would be fine as a theme, too.

Is this a secret ploy to get our names and addresses?

omg, that is such a nice picture - they are so nice to send it to you - that must be so hard for you - but so nice too.

Yeah, it was really hard. I cried. They still send me pics every year. One day I'm going to surprise them and just show up.

Oh! I've made home-made ornaments! In fact, whenever we had November girls weekend at the cottage, I would make everyone do crafts! My one friend hates doing crafts so much, so it was so much fun!

I have some good ornament crafts if anyone needs an idea. lol

I would like to join in too....and also like the christmas ornament idea.

Thanks for organizing Trailmix!

I love Christmas ornaments... so I would be in if we did that..

and I can't really afford a 10 to 15 dollar gift

Oh no worries Marilyn, the 10-15 dollar thing was just a guideline to not go over - not what it should cost - anything under that is just dandy!

Well it's not like I could say - sell them to the highest bidder on VJ - people who might want to stalk you or anything like that...ahem

Anyhoo, Flames I see you lurking down there, say you will join the secret santa thing!

On another forum I go on, I did this same thing except we did it so that we made a card for each other. I love Christmas so much, its super fun that we are doing this!

I love the idea of an ornament exchange

I love the idea of a Secret Santa here for us Canadian VJ'ers! Lovely idea trailmix! I'd like to suggest though that people be given an opportunity to decide what to give, and whether it's bought or handmade. Some people just don't like crafting, or don't have the time. Some people don't have the funds for buying something either, I understand that, but let's allow the giver to decide what they'd like to do. What do you think?

I like the idea as well from someone else...can't remember now who posted it, about the 3 things about themselves? It could give an idea to someone about what they might like.

I think whoever I get is going to know who it's from.

I like the idea of a free-for-all - can be an ornament or anything that takes your fancy to send, a card, another type of gift, some kraft dinner!

Anyway, it will be fun.

And why is that krikit!?

Oh and I like the idea about people posting 3 things about themselves, that would be fun just on its own!

Yeah really. I feel like I'm missing something!

[Krikit 1,164]

Oh sorry. Reference was too vague, I guess. I was referring to the fact that I had mentioned Christmas tree ornaments.
