4th 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 2015 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.
We suggest you exchange only gifts that are handmade or from an art fair. $$ is not the object -- it is about sharing our creative lives.
Won't you join us?
Here is the calendar:
1. Sign up to join the fun by December 13 by putting your name in the comments below or emailing me directly: connie@artfaircalendar.com. I'll then send you an invitation from DrawNames.com so your name will be in the drawing. All gift exchanges are anonymous.
2. We'll be drawing the names on December 14 and we'll then send you the name of your exchange partner (its anonymous).
3. Gifts shipped by December 19
4. Post photos of the gift you receive
AFI member Larry Raineri shows us his gift from Maureen Roberts in 2012
Did I tell you this is Fun?

Times up to sign up! If you requested to take part and didn't click on the link, hope you'll join us next year.
The Secret Santa names are being generated at drawnames.com. Be on the lookout for your message, coming soon!
Hi Connie, I think I missed out - I was out and about the last couple of days and the link I was sent in the email now says the object does not exist. Oh well. Will have to do it next year and pay more attention!!
Always wonderful to see you name pop up, Annette! We miss you ... Adding you to the list.
Just looked at your work again -- so lovely. Hope you are well.
Yes, where do we enter our addresses or does that come later?
Stay tuned! You'll get notifications on Monday when I spin the dial and the names are drawn! Details then. And, on that note, we have over 50 people playing Secret Santa this year! A record ...
I'm way in!
Yes, please--I'd like to play! Cheers, looking forward to it...
