Garland Exchange Adoption Fundraiser!

I've spent some time reading about garland exchanges lately, and I thought it would be a really fun way to raise money for our adoption! 

You don't need to be particularly crafty to do these, no sewing is necessary. Just get some string/yarn and stick something on it so that your partner can hang it on their wall. :) 

How the Exchange Works:

• You can enter the exchange starting today by filling out the form at the bottom of this post, and the deadline for entering is November 17th.
• The cost to participate is $5 plus the cost of your materials {you can definitely use materials you have on hand and spend nothing on the garland}. 
• Please pay the $5 fee by clicking on the "Donate" button at the top of my right sidebar. When you are processing your donation there is a link that says, "Add special instructions to the seller".  Please click on that link and enter the same name that you use on the form below so that I can match up your entry with your payment.  If you are signing up your child(ren) you may make one payment, but please enter each name in the instructions box.
• If you want to mail a check, please see the bottom of this post.
• If you would like to exchange more than one garland, please submit a new form for each one that you would like to do, and then pay the appropriate fee {$5 per garland}. 
• Please pay as soon as you sign up!
• You'll make a 6 foot garland for your partner, which should only cost a couple dollars to ship by First Class Mail.
• I'll match people up randomly and send your match by November 19.
• Your garland must be shipped by December 6th to your partner. That gives you about 2 1/2 weeks (Nov 19-Dec 6) to make one and send it.

There are SO many options for creating garlands! You don't need to sew a thing (unless you want to) and with paper and string you can do so much. :)

Here are some great garland ideas!

Well, I might have gone overboard with the garland ideas, but once I got onto Etsy and Pinterest, I just found so many great ideas!

I'm looking forward to making some garlands myself to exchange. :) Please share this so that we can get a bunch of people trading garlands!
