Sowal Ornament Exchange 2008

Mine went out USPS Priority Mail today. NOTE to the receiver, I didn't put my name on the package but the return address is Lacey's Spring. When you get the box, open it. There is a Card in the box with a note, open it when you get it. There is something in the box that you need open when you get the package! Can't wait for the party!

Well, to tell you the truth there weren't any ML's left after the game on Saturday. ;-)

Cookies....Chocolate Chip with Oatmeal and toasted pecans. They are very yummy. Not to hijack the thread or anything, but go to myrecipes.com, they have a cookie of the week and they send you the recipes via email every week. They have some great recipes!!!!!

Thanks Ocean Lover for the continued guidance. Another question. Does this mean that any SoWaller within 100 miles of each other gathers at a common spot to open the ornaments together? Does someone manage a live feed of the event? At any rate, I've got the event marked on my calendar and have the evening cleared for celebrations and festivities forthcoming.

That would be funn to have a group party. Your place or mine? Scooterbug isn't allowed to have parties, people die.

Thank God mine lives in sowal. No doubt I will be lurking around his/her place with my wrapped package on the 16th. My first effort was a dismal failure.

I think everybody thinks that and then delivers a little slice of love. No matter how masked in paint, glitter, and glue it may be.

It's always just been online. This is our 3rd exchange. When we started not many people had actuially met in person! You sowallers are welcome to gather together but you would need to arrange it since I'm stuck up here in Ohio.

SWGB posted a video of him opening his last year. I may try to do that this year. It's a lot of funn seeing all the ornaments and reading all the posts. I can't wait!

OMG! Mailing YESTERDAY????? I thought we were to mail by the 14th? I'm so wrapped up in restructuring at work/lay-off survival mode and engine replacement and eldercare issues and flying to/from San Antonio and still haven't unpacked from Oregon yet that I haven't had time to breath let alone mail out a package yesterday that I wasn't even going to make till THIS WEEKEND! AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Guess I need to go buy something at lunch and run to UPS, or should I say OOPS!

Dagnabbit!

When is the unveiling-picture-posting-thingy on line? Oyvay....
