Stashmas 2018 - Send List Posted
Posted: Fri Sep 07, 2018 11:23 pm
Okay, oldies, newbies, and in-between-bies, it’s Stashmas time!! For those of you who are new, Stashmas is a holiday that isn’t shown on most calendars, but it’s real (at least to us). We don’t all celebrate the same traditional holidays, but every one of us can celebrate Stashmas. If you’ve never taken part in Stashmas before, please consider joining us. If you’re an experienced Stashmas celebrant, join us again. 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) Sunday, 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. (You are welcome to join us, regardless of any shipping limitations!)
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 me 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) Sunday, 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 Wednesday, 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 DECEMBER 1st, 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. We are a very generous group 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) September 30th (Sunday)
Wish list post made by - Midnight (GMT) September 30th (Sunday)
Get address of recipient by - Midnight October 7th (Sunday)
Post by - November 7th ((Wednesday)
Open gifts - December 1st (Saturday)
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 a lot of fun and generates the same excitement the more traditional gift giving holidays do.
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 2018:
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:
€13.97 EURO
$16.16 USD
$21.29 CAD
$22.74 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.
