Let me know if I need to cover anything else. C:

[AsaB]

Yay!

I actually have to wait a bit to see if I'll definitely be able to participate, it'd suck to sign up and have to chicken out. Uni's a bit hectic, and it's finishing on Dec 15th, so it might be tight.

One thing, should we have any guidelines regarding the artwork/gifts? Practical things like size or medium, or simply the time invested? Just wondering, usually when I've participated in such things there's a roof on the money spent and other things. Just to make sure it's fair for everyone

It's entirely up to the artist to decide but in a sense don't go crazy and make sure you put effort in. (i highly doubt a 5 second doodle at work would suffice)

i'm guessing the average art to expect at the moment is something letter sized to a4, 1 hour minimum spent on it.. 4 hrs max?

Some others might want to get DIY kits for example, the DIY Qee series / Kubricks etc and paint on those as a canvas/piece of art etc. I was debating it when i was looking at them at work today lol.

I dunno, just a speculation :3

[yoitisi]

Haha awesome, sign me up! I'll send you a PM in a bit

Edit: Maybe have people include an email address in there in case they rather not want to give out their home addresses?

[mutestar]

Is there any sort of skill requirement? Something I'll spend four hours doing isn't going to look the same as something a lot of the other people here could do in a couple of hours. I don't want to cheat anyone.

[Saskia]

cool thing ! I´d still have to check if i´m free around that time, but i would be definaly happy if i could join

[Helaine]

I'm iiin~ Will send you pm

[IanE]

How fun

[daestwen]

Dude I am so totally in. AWESOME.

[Slash]

I'm in!

[loveandasandwich]

yoitisi: What if the person who got your name is going to send a physical item, like if they made a small canvas painting, or, like me, I'm going to make a small plush monster for my Secret Santa? Those things can't be emailed :C

Celarania: I don't think that would be fair to exclude people on skill. Just try hard to make something someone would be happy to recieve!



How does a $10-15 max sound to spend on supplies to make it? Or obviously spend less, if you're using something like photoshop.

[smugbug]

$10-15 max is perfect. Sent you a PM. Inneeee.

And we all so need to show off what we got, too.

[mutestar]

Sounds good. I'll try to do it, unfortunately, it's right around finals. D:

[yoitisi]

Loveandasandwich: Yeh I meant as an addition to the current list of details

Oh also, depending on the size/wheight or volume you might have to pay another $10 or so for sending it overseas, just keep that in mind.

[Asatira]

This sounds like an excellent idea. But I'm hesitant to join; I'm terrible at these things and have not been too pleased with my turnout. If I get a previous obligation done before the sign-up deadline, then I'll sign up.

[loveandasandwich]

As long as it's kept under 13 oz, shipping shouldn't cost too much, even to the other side of the world. If you're nervous and want to add insurance or something like that, it could cost even more.

[Chiritsu]

Just think of this as a present from a far away friend to a far away friend :3
we're all (some-what) family here right? lol

[Cacodaemonia]

Sounds like fun!

[TASmith]

damn straight!

[Enydimon]

Sign me up, I'll send a PM later tonight.

[loveandasandwich]

Woop! Almost 20 people signed up now. If you can, post about this in your blog/twitter/facebook/what have you and maybe we can make this a huuge secret santa!

[nauvice]

Does it have to be art related or any gift?

[loveandasandwich]

Hmmm well I think it should at least be handmade somehow, something bought just doesn't seem fair to the people who are spending time & effort making things for their Secret Santas

[walnut]

I was planning on making my own New Year's cards, so making an extra one for a fellow CA member would be a very small effort. So yeah, i'd like to play a part in this project.

[Chiritsu]

wow the numbers doubled since the last time i checked today ^^

thanks loveandasandwich for running this for me :3
if i have time and money, i'll send you an extra gift or somethin lol

[Ian Barker]

I'm in!

So if we do a digital piece, should we make a print and send that, or are we expected to just email it?

[TASmith]

I think it'd be nice to have a print. Something for the wall. Otherwise it's kinda like just downloading any pic you would've posted anyway. Depends on how expensive it is to print around where you live. Anyway, I'm going traditional on this.

[loveandasandwich]

Yeah, what TASmith said. It would ruin the excitement of Secret Santa I'd think if you just got an email with art, instead of a package. Getting packages is always exciting.

Also Liffey, if you definitely want in, you gotta send me a PM with your address!!

[daestwen]

Bumping this because it needs to be bumped.

[Hive_minD]

Sounds interesting. I´ll surely send you a PM during the weekend. Great work Loveandasandwich!
