I would love to join in on the secret Santa exchange! i haven't dune it in two years and I really miss it a lot.

Here's some information.

Name - Metonnika (Sherri Lynn)

E-mail - sherridrawsstuff(at)gmail(dot)com (I replaced the @ and . to prevent the evil spambots. ^^;

Gallery - http://www.side7.com/cgi-bin/S7SDB/Display.pl?act=gallery&aid=1869

I'm not picky about what character my secret Santa draws. I'm happy with just about anything. ^_^

Nuts! I meant to bring it up again earlier this month and completely forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder, metonnika. I'll start up a new thread.

Hello, everybody! Xmas is fast approaching - less than a month away, yikes! - and that means it's time once again for the Side 7 Secret Santa picture exchange! This is where participants draw a picture for their recipient, and get one in return, without the recipient knowing who's drawing their picture. That's what makes it a secret Santa, and a lot of fun.

If you'd like to participate, simply reply to this message or [e-mail=Jinx@side7.com]e-mail me[/e-mail] with the following information:

Name (alias is fine) E-mail address Gallery address Character(s) you'd prefer to have drawn (optional, can include links to reference images if you'd like)

As it's a little late in the season already, I'm going to close registration next Saturday, December 6th, so be sure to sign up early! Once again, I will be participating and my husband Janson will be making the assignments to keep it fair.

Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you all!

(Note: Metonnika, I already got your information from your other post, thanks!)

I moved the misplaced posts into this thread.

Thanks, BK!

My pleasure.

Hey Jinx,

Can you put me in tentatively? If I can complete and launch v4 very soon, I'm in. If not, I'll bow out, as I'll be very busy. But I'm interested in participating.

Got it! I'm going to try to get the assignments out on Sunday, so if you can let me know if it's feasible by then, that'd be great. If not, no problem, we'll improvise.

Name: CyberCorn Entropic E-mail address: CyberCorn[dot]Entropic[at]gmail[dot]com Gallery address: The Carnival of the Animals Character(s) you'd prefer to have drawn: Draw any character in my gallery who strikes your fancy as long as they do not belong to someone else.

Thanks, CyberCorn! I've got your information.

BK, can you confirm whether or not you're available to participate? I'd like to get the assignments out shortly. Thanks!

Count me in. I'll do my best.

Sorry, I should have posted this earlier, but you should have received your assignments earlier this week. If you didn't, please e-mail me.

Oh, one other thing, it was my fault for not writing anything out for the assignment e-mail, but since it's so late in the month already, we'll say December 31 is the deadline for getting your pictures done. Have fun!

Yesterday, I sent my Secret Santa picture to Bad Karma.

Here he is, relieving stress caused by a recalcitrant computer.

Naturally, I'm curious as to what everyone else did.

Love it! I would also like to check to make sure everybody got their pictures as expected. I got mine on time and got mine out this past weekend, as well.

I did finish my picture, but unfortunately, I forgot my Side 7 corporate account was expiring while I was away for the past two days, so I need to wait for my payment to go through before I can upload another image to my gallery. In the meantime, my gift for CyberCorn is viewable here.

My image to Metonnika can be seen here. I got it out today, as the holiday has been busier than I expected (but v4 is two features shy of being in Beta!).

Oh, Jinx, just for reference, I finished the upgrade system for the new site: no more waiting for upgrades to go through. They're immediate.

Awesome! You're certainly quick in any case, so I've nothing to complain about. Thanks for getting that updated. P.S. my picture's here now.

Love your image, too! I really like the crosshatching on the eyes and the fuzzy texture on the hat and dress.

I've left you both comments on your pictures and replied to Jinx's comment on mine. So, no, I've not been ignoring you two.
