Just discovered this never posted. Ugh....
We were excited to receive the first ornaments from Virginia, Washington, Alabama, Kansas and Louisiana this week! Thank you! It is so exciting to see our map turning green. For those who may be new here, and we have many, green states are those from which we have received ornaments, red are states where we have been told people are making ornaments and grey are the states where we have no one we know of crafting ornaments. Those poor grey states..... we are still hoping for a few to join us.
We are beginning the process of trying to find areas to serve next year. If you have suggestions and are willing to help coordinate ornaments in that area, or know someone who is, please PM us. We have an area in Mississippi that is in desperate need but as you can see we have no contacts there.
A few more tips:
Shipping
Shipping can be expensive, and it can preserve all the hours of effort you put in or it can damage your creations.
Please be sure your ornaments do not move around in the box. As you gently rock the box back and forth if you can feel ornaments moving, please add bubble wrap or air-filled pillows to cushion them.
Before sealing your box, please add a note with the number of ornaments included. This saves hours of time for coordinators. If you send multiple boxes, please include a count in each box.
FOR MAILING… please compare costs online or use a service, such as https://ship.pirateship.com/ Comparing rates or using a service can save lots of money!
