The Toy Society is doing Christmas, baby! And you're invited to be part of the fun.
What: A co ordinated simultaneous world-wide toy drop the weekend before Christmas. On that weekend a map with drop locations will be uploaded to the blog so you can see where all the Toy Society elves are active. Each toy drop will also then be uploaded to the blog as well as any finder emails.
When: The last weekend before Christmas.
Who: Anyone willing to make a handmade toy and drop it on the street the weekend before Christmas.
Why: Because it's Christmas, of course.
How: To be part of 'A Toy Society Christmas' email thetoysociety@gmail.com with the subject 'Christmas'. Don't forget to include a link to your blog if you have one. The code for the button above will be made available to everyone participating. If you're part of this you'll need to think of your drop location and submit that via email by December 1.
edited to add:
Oh and, first 10 Aussies AND 10 non-Aussies to sign up to be part of 'A Toy Society Christmas' will receive a set of tags and letters to use on your toy.
If you're not a toy maker but would like to be part of this, keep an eye on the blog in the next few weeks as there will be another drop-ready toy give away.

Oh please let me join in! I'm on holidays at the moment and can't access my email until next week, but I'd love it if you could let me join in. My email address is: juddie1[at]optusnet[dot]com[dot]au.
I alwo wanted to let you know that I have made three drops over the past couple of days in Hobart and Port Arthur, in Tasmania. A ilttle grey elephant with floral green ears waited for a new home in the Hobart Botanical Gardens, and a scotty dog, a bear and a cat all waited at the Port Arthur historic site. I'll post pics when I return to Melbourne next week.
Cheers,
Juddie
