Reposting this with a reminder that request signups will be open for a few more days.
These ones should go out today, once I pick up some more envelopes.

who grinched here

>>134759140
Do you make them yourself? How can I sing up for one of those?

Also, can someone post the photobucket of all the cards this year?

>>134759240
Yes, I make them every year.

How long does it take you to create one of these scarfs?

>>134759531
Any /ss/ is fine
Basically, /a/ does a cards exchange and gifting program. people send quick explanations of themselves, and anons will be assigned them to make gifts for them. in return people send em to you

This is my first time doing /ss/, is the person who I'm sending my card and gifts to the same person who is going to send me presents?

>>134759806
No.
The assignment system is random; your giftee gifts to random people and you get gifted by random people as well.
Although supposedly it's not uncommon for giftees to give back to their santas.

BB from IL your present should be there today.

AW from OR your gift should have arrived earlier.

>>134759559
6 hours or so, usually distributed over a few days? The ones with fancy embroidery take a bit longer. The Horo one took me like 4 hours just to do the embroidery because I kept fucking it up.

I got my card today! Thank you, I love it. And thanks for including the Meme X Kaiki story. It was interesting to say the least.

Merry Christmas!

GA of NJ last I checked your package was at your local PO. Should be there today.

TF of TN your package was scheduled to be there today as well Mr. Alias. Though I didn't see it in your area before I left for work this afternoon. Hopefully it will get to your PO Box fine.

Just so you know everything's wrapped inside so you can open the boxes though I forget if either of your gifts were near the top so be careful. I kind of want you guys to open the top gift now since there is an awful card but feel they may be spoilery. Especially yours TF Each has a miniscule gift though I would like you to possibly have and maybe even use while it's in season. Should have wrapped them separately. ;_;

>>134765598
Same. I bet most people are in crunchtime right now because they waited so fucking long, so most are shipping out their stuff this week. I sent mine out first week of December

Okay that's a relief. It's a pretty big box so it probably just didn't fit. In that case; MS from Canada, your gifts are waiting for you!

For a PO Box yes. Domestic (USA) for my PO Box leaves a yellow slip to bring to the counter and get your box. But for EMS with buyfagging its a different slip I bring up to sign for. Pretty sure it's normal.

Well, I just wanted to complain I guess. I haven't seen any Santa threads until today since the start because of working.

But I also was told to wait until I was given an email about it.

Bitter Anon-chan just trying to vent before putting a happy face on at store I work at

My anon said he had to send my stuff directly to be from the store in order for it to arrive on time.
I hope it will but the paranoia is starting to get to me.

I think you lost your name at the time, but it's fine. I was just curious what the person was going to use it for.

I don't consider myself much of an artist either. I found a set of the lovelives in their school uniforms and edited them to what you saw. Here are several other lovelive patterns I made.

Are there any characters you would like made?

So in other words the post office returned the package after 1 day because I put a vacation hold on my mail.

Please kill me. If I ask to get it shipped again I'd be out another 5,000 yen shipping (10,000 for both attempts). Should I just ask a refund? I already got my anon's other gifts no problem. I could add some merch I already have plus candy or something. Shipping combined would more than contents of the package and I'm getting tight on cash. What do?

No, it just gets more expensive.

>>134769529
no, thats the last date for guaranteed arrival before Christmas.

>>134769529
It means anything you send out after tomorrow with that service isn't guaranteed to reach your recipient before Christmas.

You should have sent your cards by now. I'm not even going to post any cards that arrive after Christmas.

I finally sent my gift and cards today! It feels good to be done with all that. Now I just hope they get posted so I know they were received.

>>134770376
The cards need to go through as parcels, rather than envelopes. I'm not too worried about them arriving in time as a result.

how does the post office take payment on packages? I dont usually carry cash so I dont want to get there and then drive 20 min to the closest atm then drive back. Who puts post offices way out in the middle of nowhere anyway?

>>134770557
it has to do with logistics

>>134770557
They took debit for me.

>how does the post office take payment on packages
Standard shit. Cards, paper. You can buy postage online through paypal.

>Who puts post offices way out in the middle of nowhere anyway?
What >>134770609 said. The USPS has a legal obligation to provide mail service to all Americans at equal costs. As a result they need to have an extremely reliable service, and provide accurate and reliable service at the fastest rate possible.
USPS is pretty crazy actually.
The Postal Service is explicitly mandated in the fucking constitution. The post goes out rain or shine. The USPIS, the law enforcement branch of the post office, is the most effective law enforcement agency in the country. They have a 100% conviction rate of people they file charges against.

>>134759140
How much do you charge? I need that Holo scarf.

I really don't like taking money for them. It makes it feel like work, when it's fun because it's just a hobby of mine. Normally, I request art of some form. I've gotten drawings, small clay figures, crocheted dolls, and in one case a song. If you're artistically challenged, I can supply a gift wishlist sort of thing. Also, if I feel particularly inspired the idea that you want, or you have particularly good taste, I'll just do them for free.

>>134771008
I'm probably going to keep accepting emails until Wednesday or so, then maybe open them up again around Valentines.
I'll be fully addressing them once I've had a chance to sit down for a while and really look at them all.

>>134771414

Cards are ok to open before christmas.

They aren't a present really, they just wish you a merry christmas. If you open them *on* christmas then the wish doesn't have time to take affect.

NC from AL, your gift arrived December 7. If you did not receiving it, there is a problem - please let me know.

RPH from QC, your gift also arrived December 7. If you do not have it there is a problem.

MP from NM, your gift has shipped and is scheduled to arrive Friday.
It is crossing an international border, so I had to put a value. I chose $120, and apologize if you have to pay customs on it. The items cost more. Please do not look at the custom slip because it may spoil the surprise!

Debating whether or not to add something from my library that would take things way over bracket because part of the gift is lost in customs hell, but I don't have anything extra that fits for the other giftee who also has some stuff stuck in customs.

There is also another gift, which I thought might come early enough to get to you by Christmas, but which I fucked up on the order slightly so it might take a bit longer than I expected to get there. Don't worry, I'm not short-changing you.

Would helping you with pixel art be a valid proposal for a scarf? I had an idea for one that'd be cute but I really don't know what I could offer for something so on-a-whim. I've been trying to think for a few weeks of something that'd represent the husbando but there's no particular colour or symbols.

If you're going to do that, look up things related to perler beads. Since they lead themselves to being pixel-like in the first place, I'd imagine it'd be easy to transition over.

>>134775663
There's also perler/hama bead pattern generators so you can turn any art into a pattern (and edit how many colors to use, etc)

From my experience, those tend to be a huge pain in the ass and don't come out looking right 95% of the time.

I could just be really fucking awful at them, though.

>>134759140
I'm still thinking about the scarf for my fumos. I don't know what to give you in return. What fumos do you have now?

>>134775428
I would probably be open for it, though from the number of signups I've gotten so far, it may take a while to get to.
The issue with that particular image is that its too wide. The scarves I've been making are 18 rows wide, with two rows on either side that need to be clear due or it will curl far worse than they already do, which brings the with to 14, give or take about 2 pixels, which is why the Horo one fit so well.

>>134776127
I have Kaguya, Patchy, Remi, Flan, Tewi, Satori, and Koishi. Though honestly, a fumo scarf would probably take me like 10 min, tops to make, so I'd just request you post pictures with it.

>>134776282
I tend to post in the /fumo/ thread regularly when I have pictures to post, just like the last one with China and Mokou. I'll try to send my details later when I'm free. If you're gonna make a fumo scarf, would you make one for a specific fumo or one that fits them all?

This is physically painful to read. I am so sorry if anyone put themselves through this for my sake. You have my infinite gratitude.

>>134781283
this. I wont have a day off from work until Christmas.

>>134781356
You are lucky at least you even have Geocities. Lot of my favorite characters are too old to even have an AniDB page.

>>134781283

Same. I sketched out cards but haven't had chance to make them yet. Glad I only did 3 + 3 this year.

>>134781404
You have at least ordered their gift, right?

>>134773552
Got a time estimate? I'm super excited.

>>134781447
Cards only. All my pay goes to rent, food, and utilites. Anime is my only escape.

And if you send your shit without wrapping them, your a piece of shit.
And if you just directly ship them from the site, your a total fag.
And if you pick an item that doesn't come out in time, but still don't send anything for your /ss/ to have for Christmas, you're crappy.

>>134781531
Estimate on tracking says 21st. I'll be super pissed if it's later than the 23rd when they guaranteed it.

Honestly, their necks are the same size in general, so they could fit any of them. In terms of color/pattern, I could go with basically whatever you want.

>11 days until I get grinched

>>134781648
The gift I received wasn't wrapped

>>134767189
Oh snap, I'll go there after work tomorrow.

Now I won't be able to sleep tonight. Can I safely open the main box?

Also I am shocked at how well you using Osaka pictures had made me find basically every one of your posts. I guess she really is special to me

>>134781648
>just want to make an anon happy by getting a custom gift that matches his taste

>the card I slipped into my gift is there, but the actual card I sent isn't.
I'm so sorry for how bad it turned out when I went in for real. Get a feeling so complicated.

>>134781226
Something I bought for my anon arrived in terrible condition but I won another this morning. It might not arrive in time so I think I'll send them a package with their other presents and some snacks, and then mail the other gift as soon as it gets here.

I'm sorry I called you a faggot anon, your taste is shit and I was weak.

>>134782353
I blatantly told one of my anons "I hope santa brings you some better taste."

Sent my cards out 3 weeks ago and have only gotten confirmation in-thread from:
KJC from France
NG from Netherlands

If you're either:
JC from CA
ST from KS
please tell me whether or not you have received your cards as I'm getting really worried about them being lost in the mail.

If you make another I'll take that one.

Oh boy it is over a month and the figure I ordered still hasn't arrived.

Well at least I learned a lot about buyfagging this way. Sorry for the guy I have been assigned to.

It's my last card stock.. Should I apologize in my card?

>>134782874
I think it looks good.

>>134782874
just draw a sword on his back and it will salvage it

>>134782874
Dude that's nice.

A tip I believe makes sense: don't apologise for a bad drawing/card. How would you feel if you got a card that says "Sorry your card is shit"? Believe in yourself and give anon the best you can. Anyone who hates it isn't worth it to begin with.

>>134782911
>>134782936
>>134783011
Thanks for the advice. I think I'll put christmas lights behind them and make it festive. I'm not an artist at all, I really gain a respect for people who can draw while doing these cards.

Just to update quick TF yours is local now so my guess is tomorrow you'll get it delivered. GA yours was delivered so I hope you got it.

Does anyone know when the major "Anon and His Waifu" photo threads will be? Is it on the 25th itself or what. I honestly cannot remember from previous years. I want to make sure I don't miss it.

There's one more coming in two days, then one that I'll ship whenever I'm done with it. I'm regretting that I didn't send a card with the earlier packages.

My anons had some good taste, but I'll keep that response in mind if I get someone with shitty taste.

>>134783304
I went to the post office and gave the postal service dude all the cards, and he said. "you ah... sending this to a prison? that's what this number on the address says, also can't send this one, the address is posted in two locations on my screen at two different states and they won't let your recipient accept packages in jail anyway, you will get this shipped back if you do"

not much I can do...
