HollowEchoesSecret Santa
☃ Vicky's Little Words
✿ ≫ OK, so I was inspired by Poster Paradise's event, but the format came from SOOMPI's previous Secret Santa event. Of course I did tweaked some things here and there to make it fit mine and how I wanted it to be like. Anyways, I decided to do my own for the fun of it. I remember participating at SOOMPI's and other forums and had a blast! It was a lot of fun and in a way as you are doing a little bit of something for someone else. The feeling of making the gifts was a little stressful, but got myself in creative gear. Also, presenting the gifts and reading the reaction of the Santee made it worth it in the end. So for HollowEchoes', I, Vicky, presents its 1st Virtual Secret Santa Event for 2012!~ Please read below to participate and learn the details of it. Although it may seem long, it's just information that you need to know and it would help you into understanding it better a whole lot better... hopefully.
☃ The Guidelines // The Rules
✿ ≫ What is Secret Santa? It's a fun gift-exchanging event and tradition that happens every year around Christmas time.
✿ ≫ What is exchanged? Pretty much anything, as the items varies, also as long as it's appropriate. This is a virtual event, so all gifts are virtual~
✿ ≫ How to join? Sign up below and make a blog out of it! I and your Secret Santa will have to be able to view it to know what to make you! After the sign up deadline has passed, a personal message aka PM, will be sent out in notifying you of your Santee- the person who you will be making gifts for. It will be random!
✿ ≫ If you have any questions, please PM me, wall post, or comment below. If you have something to ask of your Santee, then PM me so I may ask upon your behalf.
✿ ≫ Do not, I REPEAT, do not, tell anyone. (besides me, ilovepeachbooboo) who is your Santee or who you're the Santa of. This is a secret, and let's keep it that way until the deadline to present gifts is near.
✿ ≫ The Gifts can be anything that the Santee's requests for. As long as it is within your power and appropriate. [it will be in the blog, so please read what it is there]
✿ ≫ Subscribe to stay notified of anything and everything! Once the Santa has sent me (ilovepeachbooboo) the Santee's gifts, I will make a chapter dedicated to that Santee to collect their presents and tell him/her who his/her Secret Santa was as well. And I'm sure you would like to be updated if your gifts have been turned in, too, yes?
✿ ≫ Do think kindly of your Santee as well! Please present them with a reasonable amount of items, unless the quality of the gift counts for it's quantity!
✿ ≫ Please do not forget about your Santee! If you are unable to participate after signing up and/or receving the PM, please let me know ASAP so that your Santee will be re-assigned to another Santa so that he/she will not be left out! No one wants to be left out, right?
✿ ≫ As for the Santee, please use the gifts! Doesn't have to be all of them, but at least more than two (if the items are graphics) in appreciation and gratefulness for your Secret Santa to put their time and effort in doing so. If non-graphics, then please say a big THANK YOU to your Secret Santa.
✿ ≫ Most important! Have fun! This is a fun event to just enjoy and spread the holiday cheer! So please have an awesome time! =]
✿ ≫ Oh, and if possible, may you please spread this around? The more the merrier, right? :D
