Greetings, Lacemakers!
The 2009 Arachne Christmas Card Exchange has officially begun!
Basic rules:
- You will trade a card with another lacemaker.
- Your card must have some handmade lace in or on it.
It can be any kind of lace. The card can be any kind,
handmade or purchased, as long as it has your own handmade
lace somewhere.
You may design your own piece of lace, or you may use a design
by another lacemaker. On your card, identify the designer as
well as the lacemaker.
- The card *must* be mailed by Dec. 5 so it will arrive well
before Christmas, to be enjoyed.
- This year, each person is allowed to sign up for one exchange. The
person who receives your card will be the person you send a card to.
Persons who are willing to do more than one card will be placed on
an "emergency" list to send to participants who did not get their card.
Think carefully....Sign up ONLY if you are willing to
make some lace and send the card. It is extremely
disappointing to send a card and not receive one back.
This seems to happen every year.
If you have signed up and have an unforeseen situation arise
which prevents you from completing your card, please let me know
as soon as you can so that I can arrange a substitute for you!
Before you send your card, be sure to scan it and send the file
to Jenny Brandis so that she can add it to this year's collection
of cards on her website. Also, be sure to include the name of
the lace designer if it is not your own design.
To see previous years cards, go to
www.brandis.com.au/arachne/
When you have sent your card, please email me and let me know.
That way, if the card does not arrive, we will know it is lost
in the mail
And when you receive a card, you should email a thank
you to the sender so he/she knows it was received.
If interested in participating, send a private email to me at
clayblackw...@comcast.net. (Do NOT send to the List.) Please put
*Arachne Card Exchange* in the subject line! Send in
your name by Oct 15 (but you can start planning and
making lace right away).
Give your name, address, email, and how many exchanges
you wish to do (1, or 1 plus a standby..). Also, please tell me
whether you want your exchange to be within your own country or
with someone in another country.
I realize that my server, the infamous and unreliable "Comcast"
is shamelessly rude about intercepting (and losing) some of my
email. Therefore, I will send send each of you a confirmation
when I receive your email. If you don't hear from me within two or
three days of sending me your message, then you should find someone
else on the list who is willing to forward the message for you!
Hopefully, someone who is able to get email through to me will
volunteer to do this!
Contact me if you have any questions.
Have fun!!
