I have had a couple stained glass made, but there is normally a 3-4 month lead time as the artists are already booked up for Xmas this yr. Most of the artists on etsy will be booked this late in the yr, I had two quilts and a needle felt made a couple yrs ago and I placed my order in June in order to guarantee Xmas delivery. If you have a nice photo, there is a company called treasure knits that does wonderful woven afghans out of a photo with about a one week turn around. I have had both afghans and pillows made from photos as xmas gifts from them and they do great work.
Gift Exchange: Winter Holidays 2011
-
I didn't either, but I'm sure the admins will get a hold of us shortly. Extra time to dream up what to get for your Christmas basenji friend!
-
Has anyone been sent the name of their Christmas buddy? If shipping overseas, time is of the essence.
-
I just had hubby check his email and my buddy hasn't been assigned yet. Maybe I should send you a present Kipawa.
-
But December 1 has already passed? 2 more days will be December 7. Is that when we will get the names?
-
I didn't have a basenji buddy either…
I do have to ship overseas...
-
Has anyone got there buddy yet? Was just wondering.
-
Maybe we should be asking if Alex is okay - or just overwhelmed by the response to participate.

Very nice thought, Wizard.

Alex, hope all is well.
Our household has, frankly, gained a reputation as being the couple that "Keeps Christmas going into the new year." So in my mind, there is still plenty for the gift exchange to happen.
-
Hey Folks,
Sorry about the delay, it's been a busy last 7 days due to some unexpected events, but everything is well now. Basenji buddies have been assigned and emails sent out. Looking forward to all the gift unwrapping photos and stories.

I've got my Basenji buddy!!
Christmas shopping this weekend!!! can't wait!!!
-
Shopping here too, probably today! This is going to be fun!
-
Whoohoo. Got my B buddy. Time to go shopping!!
-
Did a little shopping today. Came home and the dogs were very confused why I was not distributing the goods from the big bag of goodies! I'm participating in a Shiba gift exchange too, so there was a bit of stuff in there.
Anyway, I had to take the bag out to the car because Bowdu was stalking the bag, even when I tried to put it out of view in the closet. -
Mine is packaged and ready to be shipped (I had the day off yesterday)!
-
Mine is off in the mail today. My B buddy should see it in about 6-8 days. Do we tell our B buddy that we got them? Or is it secret?
-
It should be a surprise and everyone should post photos into this thread once their basenjis open the packages.
-
Kipawa says, "Santa has a delivery on the way for my basenji Christmas buddy, so watch out for his reindeer and sleigh"!
-
Did Kipawa open his present yet??????
-
No, Kipawa has not opened a present yet. But he believes he is on the Basenji Santa's list because he has been a good boy this year, learning many skills and pleasing his humans very much. He's also been told by his humans that the best part of Christmas is in giving - be it by finding a present, a prayer or a kind word for someone. And sometimes just a basenji smile can be the best present of all.
