[link]This will be my first year participating in this event and im very excited!
THE BASICS: write a Christmas/Holiday wish list. It can be any 10 wishes you'd like to have granted, no matter what they are. Possible or seemingly impossible. People look and grant the wishes if they can. It's not about "OMFG PRESENTS", it's about making someone else's holiday a little brighter by giving. Personally, I get more out of giving than receiving sometimes. It's just a good feeling to give.
STEP ONE
** Make a post in your journal. The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple and fun ("I'd love a Snape/Hermione icon that's just for me") to medium ("I wish for _____ on DVD") to really big ("All I want for Christmas is a new car/computer/house/TV.") The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want.
** If you wish for real possible things, make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you. In this case, you can always just note someone on dA.
** Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your journal, so that others can join in and participate to spread the holiday joy!
STEP TWO
** Surf around your friend list to see who has posted their list. And now here's the important part:
** If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use--or even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free--do it.
** You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf--to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not--it's your call.
There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just...wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.
NOW LET'S SEE IT!
1) The thing i woulod love most in the world right now, would be to have my college entirely paid for. Ive worked my butt off hard enough and have had colleges even come down from other states to review my portfolio and offer me scholarships. However, most being private institutions, will not pay for it entirely.
2) I would love a laptop for college, used or not, even missing small things that i could order online would be nice. i just really need one for college and have no money for one.
3) Corsets <3 i love corsets, theyre my favorite thing to wear, new or old, antique or freshly made, haha .
4) ART SUPPLIES! OR ANY RANDOM JUNK YOU DONT WANT, old keyboards that are broken beyond repair, cardboard, sheetrock, wire, trashbags, or bags in general, fabric scraps, beads, anything. i can use it somehow
5) ANYTHING H.I.M. or The 69 Eyes. Im a huge fan, and missed The 69 eyes concert in dallas, and i absoloutley LOVE H.I.M. as they are my favorite band <333
6)I'd love to get a Daily Deviation.... Getting my art and message out to dA alone would mean a lot to me. FAQ #18:
[link] 7) you know that section everyone has on their DA page called a wishlist? i would love some of those art images to hang up on my wall <3
8) BURLESQUE - i love anything burlesque, and since i actually have prom this year, i would like to go dressed as a burlesque dancer (crazy i know, but come on, ive only got one prom, lets have fun)
like this ---------->
