Or fortnightly, because I like the word fortnightly.

people were drawn to my table because I offered atmosphere before the sale.
I have some lush red fabric to cover my table, with pretty shiny silver fabric to wrap around the bottom of my ornament stands. I can's have candles at work but I have a scent bug with some peppermint scent that I was going to bring with me. I even have a string of twinkle lights in case my table is near an outlet.
If/when I move to Etsy, I will have to improve my photography skills. The pictures I posted were taken quickly tonight to give a sense of what I was making.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
That was me, Dana. Looks like my problem is a standard one ("attempted delivery" is bogus). I'm going to call them back now and see if they have any more info on today's attempt.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Or fortnightly, because I like the word fortnightly.
I was going to go for a month because I didn't want to crowd everybody but I think fortnightly could work. As long as the day itself floats from event to event so as to accommodate different schedules.
On a practical, personal level I think it would probably be a good practice for anybody to do weekly.
But in the group dynamic I think it'll have more effectiveness if it's spread out a bit. I just suspect that if it's a duty then it'll be easier to elide over.
It'd be kind of cool to have a random date generator within certain parameters. Like the next one could be in two weeks...or three and a half weeks. We don't know! Skinner says that irregular schedules (of reinforcement) are the hardest to break. Math people - to your algorithms.
I initiated it primarily because I know I'm avoidy and can let things drift. But I also know it's a Buffista trait so I'm glad to have so many people in on it.

Suzi, it sounds like your display will be lovely.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I can's have candles at work
Just a thought, Target (and many other places, now) sells wax "candles" with flickering LED lights in them, that run on batteries. I have about seven of them, because I like candlelight and worry that my cats are dumb. They look like real candles. The larger ones run on AAA batteries and the votives run on the little button batteries. Some of them even have timers, so your candles can mysteriously light up by themselves.

Oh, oh, oh....great idea Zenkitty. I have also seen them at Hobby Lobby. Will need to check them out.
