Stashmas 2017 - Send list posted - Mail by November 7

[fccs]

Okay, oldies, newbies, and in-between-bies, it’s Stashmas time!! Let’s use this year’s Stashmas as a time to reconnect with each other and get to know our new members better. Carole (rcperryls) and I are running Stashmas this year and here is how everything will work:

1. All participants must sign up by MIDNIGHT (Gmt) Saturday SEPTEMBER 30th, so you have about three weeks.

2. Participants sign up by posting in this thread (once only, please - and by the end of the sign up period!) stating the following information:

a) User name
b) Location
c) Where you are willing to send to (e.g., UK only, USA only, etc., or anywhere). Postage costs can be high, so take that into account when deciding how far you’ll be able to send.

3. All participants must post in the Wish List thread by the end of the sign up period.

4. After the closing date, a send list will be made by Carole and I and posted in the first post of this thread. Each member on the list will send to the next name on the list, with the last person on the list sending to the first person.

5. It is the responsibility of each sender to get the address of his/her recipient by MIDNIGHT (Gmt) Saturday OCTOBER 7th. Anyone who has not given their address to their sender by that time will be assumed to not be taking part and the sender will have a few days to get hold of the address of the next person on the list. If there are any problems with this bit, please get in touch by PM and we will see what we can do.

6. All gifts MUST be posted by Tuesday NOVEMBER 7th - no exceptions!!! There is little excuse for late sending as you have an entire month to purchase and wrap the gift. Please get proof of postage in case it goes missing in the mail!

7. All senders must post in this thread when they have sent their gift.

8. All recipients must post in this thread when they receive their gift.

9. Open your gifts on 1st December, which is Stashmas Day! No peeking!!

Please remember that the price limit for Stashmas is:

£12.50 or equivalent local currency (approximate conversions are below). PLEASE don't go over this amount, I know we are a very generous bunch but try and be creative within the confines of the price rather than too generous. Please keep this firmly in mind when you gift from your own stash.

You may, however, add stitched gifts and/or a card to the stash element of your gift if you wish.

So, the pertinent dates are:
Sign up by - Midnight (Gmt) Saturday, September 30th
Wish list post made by - Midnight (Gmt) September 30th
Get address of recipient by - Midnight Saturday, October 7th
Post by – Tuesday, November 7th
Open gifts - Friday, December 1st

Anyone who defaults on this exchange or the rules thereof will be excluded from future Stashmas exchanges as it's really not fair to disappoint fellow members.

I hope everyone will enjoy the Stashmas Exchange - it's always been a lot of fun in the past.

PLEASE ONLY POST FOR SIGNING UP SO AS TO KEEP THE THREAD TIDY AND EASY TO DOUBLE-CHECK. THANK YOU!
SENDING ORDER: will be posted in due course....
EACH MEMBER SHOULD CONTACT THE MEMBER BELOW THEM FOR THEIR CONTACT DETAILS AND CHECK OUT THAT PERSON'S WISH LIST:

FAO everyone who is taking part in Stashmas 2017:

Please post a little something saying what kind of things you like and dislike on the other Wish List thread in this forum NOT this thread (link to come) - one post per participant - just to help your Stashmas sender out and make sure you don't receive something you hate.

Please remember that the price limit for Stashmas is:

£12.50 or the local currency equivalent - currently approximately:
€13.69 EURO
$16.35 USD
$19.98 CAD
$20.41 AUD



Obviously conversion rates differ daily, but please be sensible about it. Please don't list a load of expensive charts you'd like as you'll be disappointed! That said, the kind/count of fabrics you enjoy using, the colors and makes of floss/silks etc, what kind of styles you enjoy or a few charts or kits (within the price limit) you would like would be very helpful to your sender!

Please post by midnight (Gmt) September 30th.

PLEASE ONLY POST SIGN-UPS- NO CHATTER - TO KEEP THINGS EASY TO FOLLOW.
POST WISHLISTS ONLY IN WISHLIST THREAD.
Thank you all very much and let's have fun.

Debby
