Time for another post a photo of … challenge!

It is the time year that all around the world we decorate trees. This challenge is share photos of hand made tree decorations you have stitched or made from fiber.  Post a photo on stitchin fingers and tag it “tree decorations” Include the inverted commas as then it will be one tag.

“Post a photo of …” challenges are photos of past work.  This challenge is open to all members and feel free to swing in and out of the challenge as life dictates.  The idea is share a photos of what you have done along a theme I set. I am sure we will see some interesting and creative stuff and it is an opportunity to show us what you have made.

There are no sign ups or tight regulations.

Participants can post more than one photo but are asked limit the number of photos to 5.

Please tag your photo with the word herringbone as this means that we can have a separate page for just those photos.

Please be sensible folks

Please be sensible folks as I have noticed that some people are sharing email addresses and even home addresses on the wall feature of the my page. These pages are public in other words anyone on the internet can see them. Please look at point 11 on the guidelines as it is spelled out very clearly there.

Publishing your home address is a very silly thing to do and in some cases could be dangerous. If you want to exchange such information send someone a private message.

So please be sensible folks

Please report scammers and spammers

As the site gets larger we are bound to have the odd spammer or scammer get through the doors.

Please if you notice any suspect behaviour or suspect anyone scamming or notice spam please report it to me. I have zero tolerance for any of it and will suspend or ban people who are not legitimate.  I have worked too hard to build this site to see it spoilt. Members do have to inform me however.  If it is spam tell where it is on the site and if it is a scammer send me a copy of the email so I have proof before I hit that ban button.

Thanks!
