Grimm Reaper Exchange 2015

Post by witchy » Wed Aug 19, 2015 11:08 am

Hi Everyone,
Is anyone interested in the Grimm Reaper Exchange this year? I hope we have enough people this year to do it, I really do love putting it together. PM me if your interested.

For you new people, we get to exchange Halloween gifts, it's alot of fun, we have a $15.00 max limit so it's not not crazy expensive. I will have to have your Name and Address, then I put them all in my Witchy hat and draw names and send you your victim. We've done this for a few years and it always been wicked fun!!

I'd love to participate; especially since last year I had to back out because I lacked the monetary funds to do so.
I hope this year is different, but it will depend entirely on how much I get called in to sub at the school. (and if I get around to doing the Farmer's market, and do well there as well that will provide at least some limited income for me anyway.)

For now I guess that's considered a maybe. When October rolls around we'll see how things look. :) $15 really isn't a big budget to be honest. I'd even be willing to make something if anyone would be interested in hand made gifts.

I'm in.
All you that doth my grave pass by,
As you are now so once was I,
As I am now so you must be,
Prepare for death & follow me.

Really? ^^; I'll definitely consider it then.

I would send one of my hand painted pumpkins but I am not sure how well that would go with shipping; plus that's something that can eventually rot. I wish my gourds would be ready but I read somewhere I have to dry them...and that can take anywhere from 6 months to a year.

So there's always the option of polymer clay miniatures, earrings, or a painting then, if I can't afford to buy something at a shop. Though I'd be tempted to put something handmade in the package anyway.

Have you seen my art Witchy?

Handmade would be great.

although I haven't worn an earring since the late 80's, your miniatures would be a very nice year-'round knick-knack to have out.

Sounds good to me then. If my victim so wishes, they'll receive something hand made from this reaper! :D

Thank for the poke, Witchy. I'm in.
We're the farmer's scarecrows
We scare away the birds,
We keep the farmer's corn safe
Without any words.
But when Halloween comes
We jump out of the ground
And we scare the boys and girls
When they come walking 'round.

I am on the fence. This year I have the money, but not the time...

I understand being busy Jade. i've hardly been able to make a peep on these forums the past few days.

Still at a "Maybe" status for now, but I did get called in at the School last Wednesday; so I'm hoping for more call ins. I'll let you know ASAP Witchy if I can or not. I definitely want to though because it sounds like a lot of fun.
Like I said, if someone likes something hand made, such as a painting or polymer clay creation I can guarantee I'll be able to join in, because I already have the materials for that sort of thing. I invested a lot in my mini-business but unfortunately I haven't got a lot back from it yet. I guess I need to get out there more.

Since everyone seems content with homemade, I'm considering it, myself! :-)
