Okay everyone, the "5 Gifts for 5 People" thing is going a little crazy, so I'm going to suspend it for this year - maybe we'll make it a yearly tradition. :) For now, let's stop those posts in this community, but you are of course welcome to continue it in your own journal!

Looks like we got a busy little bot in here! I think it hit pretty much every entry for awhile back... I started to delete them all, but frankly I don't have that much free time on my hands (or well, free...me out, I'm pretty sure members can tag other people's posts so if you see a post that isn't tagged, go ahead and tag it. I would be much appreciative! Thanks everyone, and keep up the awesomeness

Welcome all new members! Thanks for joining this community, we're happy to have you! It seems that all of you have read the userinfo, so thank you for that. :) As a quick reminder, please everyone TAG...links), let me know and I will delete the comment and ban the user. My name is Cherie if you have any problems and I can be reached by commenting on this entry or at cherieish (at) gmail (dot) com.

Hi guys, this is your moderator. I have love loved loved all the posts we've been getting since the Spotlight. There have been so many wonderful ideas and also so many amazing people, like my fantastic...for this community as well as a Paypal account. From now on, any issues or questions should be directed to lj.handmade.gifts (at) gmail (dot) com . I will edit the community information to reflect this

We've got a new community layout, courtesy of sinstralpride ! I hope you all like it. :)

I just banned someone because they posted an advertisement in the comments that was completely unrelated. I don't always read every single comment, so if anyone else comes across something like this that I haven't noticed, let me know on my personal journal via comment or email me at cherieish(at) gmail (dot) com.

A few quick things: - First, welcome woah_jackson as the new co-moderator. She is going to help out with tagging and reminding people about rules. I was really impressed with how much she was...to change this because I think it's a good idea when used right. However, I will say to LOOK THROUGH TAGS BEFORE POSTING and MAKE YOUR REQUESTS AS DETAILED AS POSSIBLE. That's all for today, kids.

Hello all, In light of all the new members, we're going to keep introductions here to avoid cluttering the community pages. So, if you'd like to introduce yourself, you can do so by commenting on this post. If you post an introduction elsewhere, it will be deleted. Keep it here! Thanks.

We're going to be in next week's LJ Spotlight!! I nominated the comm back when it started, and I'm not sure if anyone else did also, but we're going to be on for next week! I'm so excited, guys! I don't...it gets just insane I may moderate posts. If everyone could help out by tagging posts, that would be the BEST way to keep everything organized. Thanks again to everyone for making this place great!

I added two new tags: "edibles" and "supplies." As always, suggestions for new tags are welcome. Just post a comment on one of my posts, no matter how old, or email me at cherieish (at) gmail (dot) com...effort to keep all these tutorials easy to find, and I don't always have time or notice the tag-less posts. I just spent a half hour going through all the posts and tagging, so please help out. Thanks
