Good things come...

Celebrate the season, spread some cheer, get something great.

We're officially (unofficially) calling insmallpackages' 2014/15 exchange closed. Thanks for another fabulous year of participation and fun, everyone!

Sadly, we have to announce that this will be our final year. It's been a wonderful time, and we genuinely want to thank everyone who's participated over the years, whether it was wishing, giving or just enjoying what was granted. We hope you all have had as much fun with it as we have.

But! This doesn't mean it's too late! If you still have one last wish to grant, please do. If you still want to persue the pages and pages of wishes granted (this year and previous ones!) to find recipies, recs, icons and more and thank everyone who provided them, it's more than okay. If you're done and satisfied, that's perfect too. We're just glad to have had you around.

Thanks again to all of you, for everything. ♥

Hello Everyone! Things are looking great and wishes are being granted, and it's awesome!

insmallpackages "formal" end is tomorrow, but there is ZERO penalty for posting granted wishes after that day. Quite the opposite! We're always glad for one or two or several more wishes to be granted. So don't worry about it if you're "late." Keep working, keep posting, keep granting wishes.

-- There are yet wishes to claim! Find them at The Grant Post.

-- There are many wishes that have been fulfilled at the Get Post. Please don't forget to check there for YOUR wishes, and of utmost importance, thank the wish-granter. The Get Post is where you post wishes and thank those who have granted them.

Thank you to everyone participating!

This post is only for sharing the stuff you've made to grant wishes. Please do not post anything else here.

Guidelines For Posting

- Comment to this post with the goodies you have made for others. Please make a new & separate comment for each wish granted.
- Include the Original Wish Request in your comment.
- Put the granted wish and/or a link to your LJ-post/tumblr entry/photobucket/download/etc in the comment body. (ie whichever way works best for you so long as the wish is easily gettable.)
- Wishes can be granted anonymously, if desired.

- Unless otherwise noted by either the wisher or the granter, our thought & envisioning was that these wishes were to be shared -- again, to celebrate & cultivate the festive feeling of The More The Merrier. If you see a playlist or ficlet or recipe that appeals but it wasn't your wish, snag it, read it, c/p it! But then, please take a moment to thank the wisher and granter.
- As for icons & profile graphics, ask the wisher in the comment thread if they're sharable; we all understand how nice it is to have graphics that are yours and yours alone. The wisher can then say 'but of course,' and perhaps stipulate 'yes, all but the one of the giraffe in the bowtie!'

- Enjoy your goodies! Say Thanks and Yay.

PLEASE NOTE
- If you submitted a list, you have agreed to fulfill at least one wish for someone else here. There is no limit to the amount of wishes you can grant, but please only claim as many as you are positive you can fulfill.
- The Grant Post will be open until Jan 5th, one day before the Jan 6th deadline. Feel free to return and make more claims during that period.
- The Get Post is open through Jan 6th and wishes may be posted any time before that date.
- Anyone can grant a wish, even people who haven't made a wish.
- Thank you!

This post is only for claiming.
Please do not post anything else here.
Do not comment/reply with a fulfilled wish to this post. Even if it seems like a great idea -- don't do it.

WHERE TO POST YOUR STUFF
- Yay you've made stuff to grant wishes!
- Comment with your gifts at the Get Post with any/all pertinent details for the wishes you've granted.
- Wishes can be granted anonymously, if desired.

 

Guidelines For Posting

- Reply to a comment with "Me!" or "I can do this!" or whatever strikes you. Grant as many wishes as you know you'll be able to fulfill, and again, more than one person can Grant a Wish, so don't feel disappointed or put off if someone else has already "claimed" a Wish.
- It will take some time to go through all the pages of comments, but we ask that you please do your best to take that time. There might be a wish on the very last page that you are perfectly suited to grant!

- Wanting to celebrate & cultivate the festive feeling of The More The Merrier, we allow multiple claims for the same Wish to Grant.
- Our goal is to meet as many wishes as possible, so please be selective as well as inspired as you visit, then revisit, this post.

- This Grant [Claim] Post will be open until Jan 5th, one day before the Jan 6th deadline. Feel free to return and make more claims during that period. Thank you!

PLEASE NOTE
If you submitted a wish list, you have agreed to fulfill at least one wish for someone else here. There is no limit to the amount of wishes you can grant, but please only claim as many as you are positive you can fulfill. Anyone can grant a wish, even people who haven't made a wish.

Questions

Yes everyone, we're okay! Just a bit different timing this year. Sorry for any worry or confusion caused.

Look for the Grant Post in the next few days or less.

Thanks!

Celebrate the season, spread some cheer, get something great.

We're so happy to announce insmallpackages is running another all-fandom gift exchange this year!

The concept for this community is simple.
- Make a wish, then grant someone else's wish.
- Wishes are to be small, yet meaningful.
- Granting wishes will cost nothing but a bit of happy effort & time.

There are more detailed instructions in the Wish post, but here are a few quick notes:
- People can ask for up to five wishes.
- We'll do our very best to make sure all participants have at least one wish granted.
- If you make wish(es), you are agreeing to fulfill wish(es) for someone else, so please keep that in mind.

Take a banner and spread the word!

We're officially (unofficially) calling insmallpackages' 2013/14 exchange closed. Thanks for another fabulous year of participation and fun, everyone!

But this doesn't mean it's "too late." If you still have one last wish to grant, it's okay. Go for it! If you still want to peruse the pages -- pages! :D -- of wishes granted to find recipes, fic recs, possible icons, so on and so on, then thank everyone for what they've made, it's more than okay. Do it! If you're done and done, that's okay too. We're so glad to have had you around!

Thanks again. Until next year, ♥.
