3rd Annual AFI Secret Santa Gift Exchange
It's that time of the year! The time where people from all over the world come together to do something nice for each other ...
Announcing our 2014 gift exchange. Ever been in a "job" where they did the Secret Santa thing? You draw a name and then do nice things for a person secretly during the holiday season and give them a gift at the end -- all anonymously?
We are all so connected with each other in our business that this seems a good time to have some fun with each other.
Won't you join us?
Here is the calendar:
1. Sign up to join the fun by December 10 by putting your name in the comments below or emailing me directly: connie@artfaircalendar.com.
2. We'll be drawing the names on December 11 and your name to your Secret Santa
3. Gifts shipped by December 18
4. Post photos of the gift you receive
AFI member Larry Raineri shows us his gift from Maureen Roberts in 2012

Kerri S. Bash
Adding you now, Kerri! Watch for the email. We're going to have a record # of participants ... cool!
We've got room for a few more folks who want to play Secret Santa -- love to have you join in the fun and learn a little more about the rest of us on AFI. Twice I've gotten gifts from people who never participate in the forums, so it was fun to know you lurkers are part of this group too.
Let me know, I'll add you to the list asap!
feeling guilty about being a "lurker"(ouch). I missed it, but if still possible, I would love to participate!
Sabine, please contact me. There has been a snag and we could use you to step in ...
Yes, it has, Sabine. Great. I need your email address to include you though. Please send it to me, connie@artfaircalendar.com and I'll put you into the system.
No new people have signed on yet .. but the people from past years are joining in. We're going to have a good group. Some of you new members might enjoy this too. Interestingly, the people who become Santas are usually not people who appear much on the site, more like it is the "silent majority." All welcome.
I have been looking for this. I am all signed up and ready to go. It was a lot of fun last year. I really think people would enjoy this if they signed up for it, too.
We're not buying presents for each other -- all gifts have to be made by you or come from an art fair. Handmade is the only rule ... could be a photo, ceramics, candle, jelly.
When you sign up it takes you to a page where you buy stuff to exchange -- DO NOT use that. It's just part of the advertising that keeps the drawnames.com free for our use.
