Creative Exchange: ReGifting Relief (REopened)

[tabi]

Reopening of the Creative Exchange:

Unfortunately I wasn't my normal Virgo self and didn't do a backup of my own thread for the Creative Exchange which is what I normally do. So apparently Mercury is deciding it is going to make itself known that it is in Retro. I am not going to try to to remember everything that I posted but will go through the basics again:

This Creative Exchange is called ReGifting Relief. You grap something from around your house that has been gifted to you that you either A) Don't like or B) No longer have a use for. It can't be something that no one else would like either though...kinda has to be decent overall. You can go "shopping" at friends, family, and strangers if you're so brave for things that they no longer want. Have no issue with this...besides spring is here and is a good time to clean out some of the stuff you no longer want, right?

Creative Exchanges are about making things, does it have to be everything you send? No or nothing at all. However there is a 50 dollar limit on this, this is just to keep the playing field level and even for everyone involved. We are in a tough enconomy right at the moment and this is going to be depressing and stressful enough we don't need to make it any harder on ourselves. This Exchange is suppose to be a pick-me-up, not all that stressful. In truth I can't make you prove what you can or can't spend, it is your money so your decision over all. I am asking that you try to keep it to that 50 dollar limit so everyone can simply enjoy the Exchange and not be concerned with not being able to "compete" with someone else's package. This is a currency exchanger: XC.com for other people outside of the US can convertor their currency to see how much it is. A way to cheat is just a deck of cards is 20 dollars, some with books are between 25-30 US Dollars.

Themes:

If some of you need themes, you can pick one item and based your theme around that. Spring is coming which is another one. Another would be a tarot/oracle based package. So there is a great deal of freedom allowed to you. You do NOT have to send a tarot deck if you choose not too however it should have one or two items that are tarot based. IE: Books, spread cloths, bags, incence, candles if your exchangee likes such things when they do readings.

Important Dates: (this I was bright enough to write down. )

SIGNUP: Jan 09-Jan 23
CREATIVE PERIOD: Jan 24- March 29
SHIP WEEK: March 30-April 04

The dates are such so you can have time to create something from start to finish if you so choose. The week for shipping is just for flexibility only, however I do kinda except everyone to be able to ship within that given week time. If you can't PLEASE bring this to your partner's or my attention as soon as possible.

Side Notes:

• I don't have the time to make sure you haven't been paired with someone recently so please speak up if that happens and I'll try to change it.
• Be creative as possible, even if you have no skills with things you can make a package where you gift the person with things so they can create their own project.
• Most importantly, do NOT leave your parnter standing if you do you will NOT be allowed to join anything else I join and will make notes to pass on to anyone else who does exchanges.
• IF you have skipped on another Exchange run by SoS and myself you're not allowed to join either. This is something I do take serious. People put a lot of time, effort and love into their packages I do not like to see them burned and will try to prevent it from happening. Unfortunately I don't have to resources to send out things for those who have had this happened.

I do work overnight Tues-Sat 10pm-7am CST so if you do have questions please bare with me as I am the only one running this Exchange. I will try to get back to you as soon as I can. Also have a bad habit of skimming something so please point it out if I missed something.

By the way, I would actually like the ugly, glaring purple elephant...

Fill out the questionnaire how you feel works but make sure to point your partner to it.

Jyscal I'm so happy you're excited about this but umm...your questionnaire is a tad confusing. Would you mind terribly putting spaces between each question? Please??Fill out the questionnaire how you feel works but make sure to point your partner to it.

Jyscal I'm so happy you're excited about this but umm...your questionnaire is a tad confusing. Would you mind terribly putting spaces between each question? Please??

When you fill out the questionnaire fill it out as specifically as possible, this is to everyone! If you like to read put down what types of books you like to read or authors who are your favorites.

For me: Books: Anything on occult, witchcraft, religion in general. Fiction more paranormal twist the better. Kim Harrison, Neil Gaiman, and would like to read Terry Prachett's DiscWorld or get the last Harry Potter book: The Deadly Hallows.

Again this would be what mine would look like, this is so your partner can get a feel for your taste. Saying you like to read or watch movies leaves a huge gap of space of things you don't like. Because I like movies but will NOT watch any horror films and don't really want any. Am I making sense to ya?
