Thanks LHH it means a lot. She was a great women. She bought me DH a month before it came out somehow. She knew I loved it very much. DH has a deep place in my heart.

I also agree with LHH's rules and such. So much to catch up on. Does anyone need help with an idea?

That was scarily confusing ><
So basically:
We put 3 wishes in the 3 categories and a description/general thing in the suprise me one.
Is that right? ...-is very confused-
What I don't get:
Which item do we gift? The "suprise me" or any of them?
Also, is there a sticky for this already?
And when you gift someone, can't they tell who gave the gift? (Or am I missing something important here...)
How do you want us to send the greeting to AccioFunds, PM? And where will AccioFund have the banners?

Oh just breath, these are ideas not written in stone...so I think. Your questions will be answered but I think we need to answer them our selfs first. (not disrespectfully) I am a little confused my self!

Nah, it's questions that help clarify stuff and so when the actual thread is made it won't be as confusing. And there isn't much time left (thanksgiving is in less than a week!) ><
Okay, I'll put suggestions (to answer my own questions):
I think after gifting an item you should say "I gifted a -enter category here- item to a -enter house name here-" just as extra information. Same with the "I was gifted..." stuff.
I still have no idea how the anonymous gifting thing works-gaia auto-PMs people and says "You recieved a gift from _____ would you like to see your inventory?" Maybe the gifting would go through AccioFunds or a volunteer (I would be willing to do this)
I'm guessing the chances mean every time you gift someone, you're eligible for another gift. And when your banners/welcome things end up on the...listed places...you get another chance.
Blah. Correct me if I'm wrong...

I concur with your latest post LHH - fantastic!

And I do think that our Avi's are going to have a lot of fun playing in the leaves! (I just hope that my Gwee doesn't light the leaves on fire!)

To donate to AccioFunds: open up a trade. If you're donating gold, there is a little orange window at the bottom of the trading picture that says gold.
Click it twice to open it, fill in the amount, then click "change". Put in your password, and click "Accept this trade." Do you have a specific question/s
about the gifting?

It is indeed questions that help clarify stuff. Bravo for asking.

First sentence- right. There will be a thread created where everyone puts their list of 3 wishes and/or a surprise me. No thread has been created yet. Sometime soon it will be made and it will be in the Events forum. There will be an announcement, and the first post in this thread will have the link also.

When you gift someone, there is a box to check for anonymous gifting. We did this at Halloween- you can't tell who is gifting you. You can gift them with any gift on their list.

Greeting Banners are sent by PM to AccioFunds.
Try and send a regular size banner and a thumbnail of the banner.
AccioFunds posts the banners here.
See the "Welcome Announcement " thread - Directions and entries have started.
Hope that's useful.

Hello everyone!

I am so excited for this Yule ball-and I would love to participate in it.

I would be more than happy to assist you in any way as you are creating this festivity...but I'm not sure how-or what I should do. I am willing to help however, so, if you need any help-I would love to be the one you'd ask.

Thanks again for letting me be a part of this guild-and I'll see you soon!

YAYAY more helpers! This is going to be so awesome!!! *claps and practices a dance*

Welcome all Helpers!
Empress Cat, would you write up a contest for Holiday Fan Fiction? Since so many say they can't write, maybe it should be Favorite Holiday Fan Fiction written by Guild members or others?

Super Kool, your idea for decorating courtyards and common rooms while we're waiting for the Yule Ball is great. Would you write that up and PM it to me?

I'm gonna need help because I've got a VIP coming to talk with several groups about stress relief from the fires - and I'll be tight on time through Dec. 1.

Already taken care of! *counts down days!*

I hope everything works out on the fires and such! We have a lot of issues tornadoes.

Ok getting to the point. For the Halloween event we had the main posting forum. Well I think maybe a few days in advance to the actual ball we could have Rp's on getting ready and such. Suppose we start that morning say so and so is excited, but has a zit! Conflicts with guys also. We could have major RP's just to get everyone in the spirit and to have some fun!

Topic Forums (I think we might consider having!)
Main Ball Forum (given)
All four Common Rooms for preparing and getting ready for the ball (mind these are different from the common rooms in the main forum!)
Some classes (option)
Entrance Hall

This is a rough idea, let me know what you think and I would be happy to sort this out.

I like your ideas very much!
I'm doubtful classes will work as a lot of folks are maxed with studying, but I can see people decorating their common Rooms in the thread. I think the Entrance hall with RP might work as people are preparing to go to the Ball - would you be able to run it, and do some recruiting for help to run it?

Would you also prepare a description for the houses and Gryf and PM them to me, and let's take a look - I think more house points are coming your way.

Gryff: I could find some red borders around the first few posts, which I can do with all the others as well.


Quote:
Do you mean borders in our house colors? That would be great! Would you PM them to the people below, and to me?


Quote:
Also LOTS of pride pictures, I also think I have a picture saved. Titled Boys studying for exams. It's a picture of them sleeping all over the place. (with Neville up reading!) A description of what it is and why its there. (some people are just not as bright these days....not offensively!) Lions, red gold! Oh maybe a few good quotes from the book! Tributes to Godric Gryffindor!

Ravenclaw: Would be about the same with ravens, blue, silver...and Rowena Ravenclaw.

Huff:Some basic idea with Huff colors and Helena Hufflepuff tributes.

Slither: Same basically!

Great! SuperKool, would you go ahead now and in the EVENTS subforum, would you open a thread called Gryffindor Common Decorated for the Holidays and decorate it just the way you've described- invite your housemates in the Common Room to contribute.

March hare` - At or after Thanksgiving, would you open a "Hufflepuff Decorated for the Holidays" thread after SuperKool posts her example, and with any Huff refinements? And announce it in your Common Room? I think some of your eager badgers will help if you want!

Garnet, would you start one for Slytherin, maybe D'Metria and some of the new snakelets would help?

Orna, would you do the same for Ravenclaw? You could delegate or recruit among our eaglets, as we have a LOT of volunteers!

How bout a week before Yule, we can open a poll for each house and let each house vote on their best decorations/decorators? Right now each of you can say there will be a prize for the best decorator/decorations, and you can post and decorate as much as you want.

I'll look at prizes and do a general announcement mid December.
Suggestions and donations for prizes always appropriate. I'm thinking some of the Gaia cash prizes - maybe pixie wings or roses...

Thanks-LHH
