I saw this in =Nirelleth's journal and thought it's a great X-mas game ...

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 for the sake of privacy.

** 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 this forum ( [link] ) and browse the lists. 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.

I am working on granting some wishes now ...

My wishes:

To have no health problems during 2010, as I have had pretty poor health these couple of years.

To evolve my passion for photography more and update my current equipment. (Note: you can see my gallery with photographs here: ~illiyana)

To find a job or be able to do more commission work.

To finish the uni year successfully as I have zillion subjects. (Note: I am studying Political sciences)

To spend more time with family and friends.

Be able to put more new quality and interesting stock in my stock gallery, that deviant friends and members can use and enjoy! (Note: my stock gallery ~theancientsoul-stock)

Get subscription.

Something from my wishlist here on DA.

Get some books for Adobe Flash and Adobe Dreamweaver.

And last but not least to fight my phobias!

I am waiting for your wishlists now ...

Heiya, guys

As I have some free time these days, I decided to "update" my stock account and put up some new goodies ... there will be more coming soon and (a) special X-mas pack(s)! For now enjoy some of the new stock I've uploaded.

Keep it green and X-massy!
