| Here is the post - sorry, it was in the "Holidays" forum. Sal --------------- Victorian Christmas Craft Swap Rules
1). Players will be matched up with partners. This will be done by drawing out of a hat. After being matched up, you must contact each other for addresses. 2). Crafting will start on November 10th. Players must be ready to ship their boxes to their partners by December 10th. You must use delivery confirmation. Boxes should not cost more than $8.10 Priority Mail. 3). The items crafted should be Christmas related whether they be ornaments, candles, flower arrangements, table runners, etc. Please try to have at least 5 items in your box with at least 3 being different from each other. 4). Players must post their preferred Victorian Christmas decorating colors (& themes if you have any) here on the forum. After all you wouldn't be too happy if your buddy sends you everything in blue & silver if you happen to decorate for Christmas in red & gold. Buddies: Please pay attention to your partners color schemes!!! Other than that your crafts should be a total surprise for your partner. 5). Crafts absolutely must be Victorian in style!!! No sneaking in anything Country or Modern! Like I said before think back to elegant ladies in fine dresses, tea time in the afternoon, evening balls, and more. Victorian is elegant, feminine, opulent! Use lace, ribbons, beads, thread crochet, tatting, gilding, and lots of other options! Googling Images for Victorian Christmas and Victorian anything should give you a visual starting point if you are having trouble! Now you don't have to spend a ton of money on your crafts, just get creative in the use of your matierials. 6). Sign-ups will end November 5th....so let's get this party started! |
