RE: Christmas Skillz
For all of those who are friends with bloodied_aura you would have seen this post.
Basically the idea is, you are broke/cheap/a student, so am I! But we have skillz, using these we can create some sweet little gifts that are totally worth more than an X-Box 360 game.
So I just want to offer my skills for Christmas gifts this year.
They are:
(i) Photography - This would be a photo of the thing of your choice from my Flickr list or my Facebook photos or my Live Journal photography posts.
(ii) More Photography - We can organise a time for me to take photos of your stuff, or you can tell me what you would like a photo of.
(iii) Knitting - I knit you something small, think the size of a beret or short fingerless gloves.
(iv) Sewing - My ability is very limited and pretty rushed sometimes. So think alphabet pillows and that's the extent of classy sewing that I do. I could make you a quilted cushion if you liked?
(v) Paper Cuts - I have never tried this before and it will probably be shit, but I always wanted an excuse to make something.
EDIT: If you want a really sweet frame for your photos, post before about 9:00pm tonight (23/11/10) because there is this sweet sale on frames that ends tonight.
If you really want to price this stuff it is ~$20. The photos will probably be less unless you tell me early enough to order frames. This figure is approximated to make us feel comfortable about the crafting you return back. Actually, let's say probably max $20 really, since now that I think about it, the stuff that I am doing doesn't take that much money AT ALL.
How this will work:
Make a comment - This comment will include the following:
(1) What you would like me to do for you. Be explicit where possible. (N.B. If you know I can do a thing and it's not listed above ask anyway and I will probably oblige. I just consider the things above talents and anything else I can do is probably not as good.)
(2) Give me your favourite colours (order them in preference if possible).
(3) Tell me what your crafting skills are. Be explicit like me!!!
(3a) If you don't think you have crafting skillz (please, I'm sure you have them and are just being modest!). Feel free to offer a gift card or something else that is small. This option is only here to make sure people ask if they want something, I don't want people not asking for my skillz only because they think they don't have any good crafting abilities.
(4) Tell me if you want to do this via the post OR wether we should all meet at a cafe to exchange gifts before/after Christmas.
(5) If you think I don't know your email address you should email it to me at my Gmail (arinellen). This is in the crazy case where I really am not sure about what you want and want an answer like NOW. :)
Then wait for me to tell you what I would like and start crafting! Booyeah!
The next step is: shit goes down. And then we bro fist.
