It's before Halloween planning comes around and people have a minute before Thanksgiving planning kicks in. How about making a new post with specifics? For instance, stating if it's an ornament exchange or a secret Santa. Maybe we can just send our email address to your wall and so our postal addresses would be exchanged via email for privacy? Just a thought. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ornament-exchange/page/2#post-1069640 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 08:06:42 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1069640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Perhaps an earlier date to send everything. A lot of people put up their trees by Thanksgiving. Plus it gives all the international ppl, like myself time to receive our goodies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ornament-exchange/page/2#post-1069638 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 08:06:27 +0000 heartonastring 1069638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds fun! I participated in a card/recipe exchange on WB a few years ago. It was a lot of fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ornament-exchange/page/2#post-1069633 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 08:05:25 +0000 Smurfette 1069633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: Go for it! I am happy to help if you need anything. I have used elfster in the past and it is super easy.</p> <p>edit: and I think a new thread with pictures once people start getting gifts is a must! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ornament-exchange/page/2#post-1069629 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 08:04:18 +0000 immabeetoo 1069629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NaturallyCathy: ya I've used swap bot and think the site is clunky! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ornament-exchange/page/2#post-1069625 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 08:01:56 +0000 swurlygurl 1069625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would love to join in on this!<br /> I think once gifts/ornaments/whatever we decide on gets sent out and starts arriving we should have a thread where we share what we get :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ornament-exchange/page/2#post-1069612 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 07:56:16 +0000 sheskrafty 1069612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am definitely in!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ornament-exchange/page/2#post-1069606 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 07:54:50 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1069606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: There's also Swap-Bot to set up a private swap like this but everyone would have to make an account and then you can only create a swap once you've participated in a few. I.e. I would have to make the swap (since I've been on it for a few months) but everyone could join once they made an account/ recieved an invite.</p> <p>One of the other sites might be easier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ornament-exchange/page/2#post-1069599 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 07:52:05 +0000 immabeetoo 1069599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: @MrsTiz: sweet! I will do some research tonight on which site is easiest to use for the logistics and start a new thread tonight unless someone else wants to coordinate </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ornament-exchange/page/2#post-1069591 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 07:47:40 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1069591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: Ah but painting is therapy and sewing tiny little ornaments, while fun, is not as therapeutic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ornament-exchange/page/2#post-1069585 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 07:40:36 +0000 immabeetoo 1069585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NaturallyCathy: haha no I meant to reply to you separately bc I was going to say you have time to paint! That is crafting :) I like your paintings on my IG feed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ornament-exchange/page/2#post-1069569 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 07:34:23 +0000 MrsTiz 1069569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree, now is the perfect time to start it all up. We've got to make rules though..</p> <p>like, price limits (Mostly a max limit)<br /> Size limit?<br /> Can it be edible or not?<br /> Are handmade things ok?<br /> Do you have to post a picture when you get it?<br /> One exchange per person, etc.</p> <p>Just some ideas </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ornament-exchange/page/2#post-1069561 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 07:32:06 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1069561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: Am I chopped liver ;) ? I think now is a fine time to start organizing it. That way maybe we could swap in November well before the holiday rush and in time to enjoy it during Christmas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ornament-exchange/page/2#post-1069553 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 07:29:58 +0000 Smurfette 1069553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: I don't think so. Give everyone a month to sign up. Then they have a month or so to shopping. Have everyone mail their gift by early December, so then we have plenty of time to see everyone's pictures of what they got! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ornament-exchange#post-1069539 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 07:25:05 +0000 immabeetoo 1069539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: @SugarplumsMom: @knittylady: @Smurfette: I'd e happy to organize now that I'm not giving both right before the holidays. I'm more inclined towards a general secret Santa over just ornaments though. How early is too early to set something up:start it? </p>
