Cill Exchange: Samhain '11

[Aster Breo]

If you want to join the Samhain exchange, please post in this thread AND PM me with the following info:

1.  Your TC screen name
2.  Your "real" name -- the one that should appear on the outside of an envelope or package mailed/shipped to you
3.  Your mailing address
4.  Whether you can ship internationally (this is important, since shipping internationally can cost a lot more than domestic mail)

DEADLINE to PM me with your info is September 15, 2011.

 
LAST CALL!

If you want to participate in the Cill's Samhain 2011 Poetry Exchange, please PM me your info by the end of TODAY.

We currently have 13 participants.  Join us!  It'll be FUN!!  :

Hi, Cill Mates.

I've just finished PMing all the participants in the Samhain poetry exchange, so you should all have the mailing addresses for your recipients.

If you PM'd me that you wanted to participate but have NOT received a PM from me with your recipient's info, please let me know ASAP so I can correct the mistake.

Please try to get your poetry-related item in the mail in time to arrive at your recipient's address BY Monday, October 31.  For most of us, shipping by October 15 will be sufficient, but international shipping might require additional time.

In the interest of full disclosure:  I was not able to do a completely random name draw.  In order to accommodate some participants' requests to NOT ship internationally, I had to do a 2-part draw.  However, I think the results are pretty good.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Thanks!

Seconded! You rock, Aster!

 
Thanks!  

It's not really that difficult...  I'm always happy to organize things.    :cool:

And I'm excited, too.  I hope people will post pics or descriptions of whatever they receive.  I'm looking forward to seeing the creativity and diversity that will happen in an exchange like this, where we just have a theme to interpret.

Hi, Cill Mates!

I just want to remind all the participants in the Samhain poetry exchange to try to get your gift in the mail during the coming week, to ensure its arrival by Samhain.

If anyone is not going to make that deadline, please PM me and I will let your recipient know.

I'm sorry I haven't been around much lately.  I've been having some major computer issues, plus I've been struggling even more than usual with health crap.  On top of everything else, I've started having some really painful muscle spasm problems.

But I'm hoping to be able to catch up over the next few days.  :cf:

Just another reminder to the Samhain exchange participants:  Your package should be going into the mail in the next day or two, if it's not on its way already.

If anyone is NOT going to be able to make the October 31 deadline, please PM me so I can let your recipient know without spoiling the surprise of who is sending it.

Hey everyone,

Thanks to everyone who participated in this year's Samhain exchange! I had a good time making my gift, and hope my recipient enjoys it. I really hope that everyone else has fun both giving and receiving too!

I was wondering: if you have received your gift, can you pipe up and let us know? And maybe upload a picture? This being centered around poetry, which is, I think, a thing to be shared, I think it would be fun to see everything.

Thanks guys,

Finn

I do enjoy it!

I was totally meaning to post here as soon as I got it and my brain farted. A lot.

I'll post a pic as soon as I figure out how to do that with my new phone.  

I have an android phone now which speaks a completely different language than my blackberry spoke.  The worst part is that I'll spend all this time learning how to use it and eventually loving it, knowing full well that it'll be obsolete within two years.

Sigh...
