The BLACKLUX Party - Day 5! - Make a Holiday Card!

in #blackluxparty7 years ago (edited)

Have some fun while you help out a Steemian recovering from the hurricanes that hit Puerto Rico! It's a 14-day party with music, food, and more! There's a lot going on in today's part of the party, so be sure to read it carefully!

Yep, that was my personal Christmas tree one year. What are those red ornaments and white fluff? Read on and you may win a prize!


Join the Party!

Now that you've had a chance to dance and enjoy some food and drink, head on over to the craft table and make a holiday card. If you're new to my BLACKLUX Party, stop over at the cookie table, the hors d'ouevres buffet, and the bar, whenever you want. And you can take a spin in the DJ booth, too! Prizes await in every post! :D

But let's get to the party crafts! I've put a basic image of my little Christmas tree in this post. Make any kind of holiday card that you want with it. And then drop the image in this post as a comment. You can make a whole separate post of your own with the card, too, if you'd like.

I'll choose a random winner of 2 SBD from everyone who posts your holiday card in the comments below. The card does need to include my little Christmas tree somehow, somewhere on it. If you want your possible prize to be donated to @blacklux, let me know in the comments.

If you make a post on your blog with your card, let me know in the comments below. I may resteem it for the party!

I'm looking forward to enjoying your holiday cards! I hope you stop by @blacklux's blog, too, with some holiday cheer! And you can invite other people to the party, too!

Here's the basic image for making your own holiday card. Have fun!


How Did I Decorate My Little Tree?

That's a good question! Let me know what you think I used. For every correct answer - for the white fluff or the red ornaments -- I'll put your name in for a random drawing for 1 SBD. If you want your possible prize to be donated to @blacklux, let me know in the comments, too.


How the BLACKLUX Party Works

Some of you have enjoyed my Icicle Party or Spring Celebration Party or my Baby Dolphin Party. I know I enjoyed hosting them and seeing all the happy creativity everyone brought to those parties. So I'm having a BLACKLUX party that lasts the entire holiday season!

I'm going to post a BLACKLUX Party Holiday Card every day, from now through January 1. Every bit of the SBD that these posts make, I'll transfer to @blacklux once the posts pay out.

And there's more. Tell me when you've made a gift to @blacklux. I'll check your wallet and match your gift -- up to 50 SBD total for the whole party. If you've been tracking the value of SBD, you know that is real money, for a real person, who has real needs.

Thanks for sharing your holiday spirit with some SBD generosity so early in the party, @ecoinstant!

Here's my holiday card to you. I'm looking forward to seeing yours!


Why We're Having a BLACKLUX Party

It's the season for holiday parties. Steemit needs a party! And hurricanes Irma and Maria devastated Puerto Rico. Our friend, @blacklux, is living through the mess -- still! I've wanted to help out, but wasn't sure how. I wasn't sure if she would even be able to stay connected with Steemit -- or be able access her Steemit funds to help recover. She's put out real effort to connect here on Steemit when she can get online. It took awhile for her to just get access to electricity and clean water. I really enjoy her sense of humor, here on Steemit and back on Tsu, too. And she has kept that sense of humor intact, too, all through the hurricane mess!

Thanks, @mariannewest! I've matched your gift to @blacklux! Enjoy the party!

Thank you so much for organizing this!! I was so worried about our funny friend!! And we know only too well that help from the government just didn't arrive - at least now how it needs to be.

You're welcome. I was so worried, too, for @blacklux. Her post right before Maria is so full of meaning, in retrospect. And she's had some tough times, for sure -- along with everyone in Puerto Rico. It's amazing how Steemit allows us to help each other out when we need it. It's a game changer, if we figure out how to use our SP to good effect!

For sure. I am getting excited about the possibilities...

Best Xmas cards ever!! Thaaaaanks!!!!

Every one is heartfelt! Merry Christmas!

100% upvoted! I sent some SBD to @blacklux. I know it's not too much, only one drop in the ocean, but many small ones go! I hope the order will soon return to the life of @blacklux!

I just saw this! Thanks! Im truly grateful!

Thanks for your gift, @kalemandra! I've matched it. You are so right about every SBD adding up! And that's a wonderful sentiment for @blacklux. Have a Merry Christmas and a New Year full of beautiful photos!

This was fun. Merry Christmas.

My guess is you used cotton silk for the fluff and a red beaded necklace for the ornaments.

I'll let you know about that when this post is closed! Thanks for coming to my party! :D

Wow! That's beautiful! I like how you put the reason for the season on the wall. And I like the ornaments on the little tree. That would be a nice place to have a cup of tea! Merry Christmas to you, @tesscooks4u!

Merry Christmas! 🆙💯 image

That's a great card, @melinda010100! I hope that bokeh isn't my eyes fooling me from too much of your mulled wine! :D Merry Christmas!

Im behind so no card today, but I got an upvote :)

Thanks, @old-guy-photos! It all helps out! Enjoy the rest of the party, whenever you can. There's a lot more party, lol. Stay warm there in the frigid Michigan weather you've got! =:O

a nice organization :)

Thanks, @mhmtdr0! Enjoy the rest of the party! :D
