I have been the organizer for the first two ornament exchanges and I have enjoyed it, but I have too much on my plate right now to organize or even participate in one.  I have missed visiting this site as often as I used to but there just isn't enough time in my day since I've been teaching again.
If another person would like to start one, I'm sure there will be lots of folks interested. The second year had twice as many as the first and most were looking forward to it again.

I stepped in to sort out all the confusion created with the card exchange list last year but I can't do it again this year. Like Tami I've started working outside the home in addition to taking on more with my bear business and I just don't have the time to organize the card swap again this year. Sorry, guys!

Ok Guys and Girls,
As I have 5 months to till my next Fair, I'll take a crack at organizing the ornament exchange (and cards too!)- I definitely want to see it go ahead, so if that's OK with everyone I'll start making plans and threads- because time is ticking and as we found out last year we need to get things sent quite a few weeks before Christmas to take into account the postage time for overseas.
Tami did such a wonderful job last year, with so many participants- Daphne's spreadsheet was a lifesaver last year too with soooo many TT's involved, plus Dilu for figuring it all out in the first place - I'll be taking a leaf out of their books to get it all done quickly!
Is that OK with everyone??
Cheers
Melissa

Melissa - you might want to look back for the first year of the card exchange... Shelli organized it to begin with and did a great job... it all went very smoothly that first year!
:thumbsup:

Here's Shelli's original card swap guidlines in case it helps!!: http://www.teddy-talk.com/viewtopic.php?id=2643

Thank you Melissa. I would love to take part. Was trying to figure out how I would fit in organising it but cant. We are off to South Africa on the 8th December and then it is chaos. But would love to do some cards. Will then be able to post from South Africa which is so much easier than here...

Ok then; off we go!!!
I'll have a look back at some of the older threads to make sure I have all the info we need and then start some new threads for folks to sign up on!
Thanks for the link Daphne, I wasn't on TT way back when, so it will be good to get it right from the start.....
The Fourth??? Annual TT Xmas Swap will be underway very shortly.

Hey, Daphne... thanks for the nice compliments.  :)

Mel, if you need suggestions or have questions, let me know via PM.   I'd like to be a part of a card swap myself.
