Nerd Games Discussion Thread

A few things…

Discussion thread

I’m not going to create a new discussion thread for the Nerd Games. There have been so few of us crafting lately, I think we will it will be just fine to keep everything contained within the season thread. If anyone feels differently, let me know. I have no objections to creating a discussion thread for the new year if anyone wants it.

Raffle

Last year we held a raffle in the spring season, which runs from April to June. Is anyone interested in doing a raffle again this year?

Yes
No

I’d like to also propose the same raffle stipulation as last year.

Raffle

Spring season is when we agreed to hold our yearly raffle, but I’d like to do things a little different this time around.

In order to ensure we have enough prize offerings to make the raffle fun and give everyone a fair chance to win a prize, I’d like to wait to hold the raffle until we have a minimum of 10 prizes donated.

If you are interested in donating a raffle prize, please send me a PM. I will keep track of every commitment to donate. Once we have reached 10 donations, I will contact everyone to make sure they’re still able to make a donation (we all know things can change quickly. Sometimes we run out of time, sometime we’re short on cash and can’t afford shipping… life happens!), I will announce that the raffle will be held the following season (for example, we get 10 prize donations by April 2021 (during spring season). The raffle would then be held during the summer season).

Keep in mind that you don’t have to craft a physical item to offer for the raffle. Crafting supplies are often popular as well. Fabric remnants, scraps of paper, embellishments, thread, yarn, hoops… Any of those would be appreciated by someone.

So please… Message me to let me know if you have something you’d like to offer (you don’t have to tell me what it is, just that you guarantee you will be offering a future prize). Craft on, Nerds!

If 10 prizes are committed as quickly as last year, we can hold the raffle in the spring season. If not, we can hold it during the summer season. If the summer season works better for you, let me know and we can move it to summer (July - September) when enough prizes are donated. I can donate two prizes again. I’m not sure what yet.

Swap

This season we are doing a swap. @gozer was kind enough to host the swap for us. Anyone that wants to join is welcome. You only need to post one project to the Games and you’re eligible to participate.

Special Prize

@LovelyMiss is offering a prize to people that meet specific criteria during the Winter Season. She will update her post soon with the rules. Thank you for offering this, LovelyMiss!

I hope 2022 is kind to us all. Happy New Year!
