craftgrrlWith Christmas rapidly approaching, it seems that I have to go over the rules (again).
Here at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
craftgrrl, we have an upwards of 40 or 50 posts in a day. To help keep the flow of posts down, we have a rule that - and I quote- because of the sheer volume of posts dealing with the generic question of "what do I get for my ...." we are going to ask that you post those to the community crafty_gifts because that is not the primary focus here, and we can not keep up with it. If you don't know what to get someone, read the faq memories. If you have a specific question from there ask away. Thank you. . What this means is you CAN NOT post "what do I get my boyfriend for Christmas?", "my mom likes cats, what should I make her?", etc etc. You MAY post "my mom is into cats and i want to make her a cat bed, how do I go about this" (AFTER googling and checking the memories for yourself, that is). If you make a post that violates this rule, it will be deleted. Also, ignorance of the rules does not excuse you, just like ignorance of the law does not save you from jail time.
And, since people can't read, I will also remind you that there is NO SELLING. Not only does it break our rules, it is also against the LJ TOS and may result in your journal being removed from LJ. Linking your photo to your selling page will be counted as advertising; watermarks on photos are OK.
Although it isn't against the rules, I have also been seeing alot of "I don't want to share how this is made because I sell these items and don't want competition". If this is your feeling I suggest you do not post your work in our community, because we are here to SHARE and LEARN.
On that note, I've decided that from now until November 30 we will have a little contest! Post your handmade Christmas tree ornaments (bought and altered ornaments OK) and we will vote on who wins. The prize will be tiny at most, but you can declare yourself superduperchristmascraftgrrl of 2005!
Just post your pictures with the topic of "I'm the Christmas craftgrrl!", and we will vote on December 1 who wins!
