It’s the homemade meme
EDIT: I still have *one* spot left!
Seen over at Kim’s way back when, but mentioned now because I am just that lazy.
Da rules, such as they are:
If you are one of the first three commentors on this post, then you are in. I send you a homemade gift sometime, er, soon. When inspiration and time collide for me (usually when I remember). In return, you go to your blog and make the same offer. So, you’ll be making 3 things and receiving one. You don’t have to send anything back to me.
Kim also wrote a hady FAQ. To wit:
What if you don’t have a blog?
Well, if not, I’ll host your request here. But only if you are a really awesome knitter. Haha. Okay, I’ll do it no matter what. If you join the exchange on your blog let us know here!
What if I don’t like my gift?
Too bad. Mom taught us all how to be gracious.
What if I’m not crafty or artistic?
So? Do it anyway. There are millions of things to be made and some part of you needs to get in to the process of creating something with your hands. It is therapeutic and eye opening. Even if it is a paper airplane. You could always do an artist trading card…they can be easy or hard, depending upon your effort.
What about shipping?
Like I said, an artist trading card? That might cost one stamp or less. But if you want to make a bust of the recipient out of pine, go ahead.What? I have to give someone in cyberspace my address?
Well, yeah. So you should probably only sign up here if you have read or known me for a few months, that way you know I am a fine upstanding citizen who will only plague you with annual Christmas cards after the exchange.
And yeah… once I have your address I WILL send Christmas/Winter/New year’s cards to the end of time.

Okay, I’m in and since I wanted to do it even though I missed Kim’s cut off, I’ll just claim from you!
Now, what am I getting?

Wow, I like the handy border around my FAQ! I’ve only got one of my three presents figured out. I said figured out, not made.

That’s blockquote styling in action, Kim.
All brought to you by the magic of CSS.
