My ornaments were from Carol G and I absolutely love them. Even the box was creatively decorated with a Sowal sticker and a snowflake added into the O. Carol also included two of my favorite candies, mango and candied pecans, all of which was eaten before dinner. :blush:

This ornament was pretty ingenious. I am thinking you got the iron from a monopoly game? and the cubes are from scrabble? Pretty cool.

This ornament represents the colors of the Gulf. So very pretty and attention to detail.

Thank you very much. I really appreciate and enjoy them immensely. :clap:

Yay, I am so glad you like everything! I sure had fun making the ornaments and putting it all together... and I'm thankful the package made it there OK - silly me forgot to get a tracking number. (Who knew the post office on 79 in PCB closes at 3:00? :dunno: I got there at 2:59 and was rushed through... I've been saying little postal prayers all weekend.)

Yes, the iron is from Monopoly, and the charms are made from Scrabble tiles... my original intention was to include them as dangles from the mosaic ornament, but it turned out to be so heavy I was afraid you wouldn't be able to hang it from the tree... So I kept them separate to hang in the tree if you want, or you can tie them on the big ornament, or whatever you like. Enjoy!

I wasn't going to spill the beans on you Scooterbug! lol Notice I only wrote 'special delivery'! It was well worth the scavenger hunt! :clap:

It was nice meeting you too ItzKatzTime! :wave:

I am SO glad you like it Franny! Each one of those shells is a special moment with Imygyn finding it on the beach. Its very solidly constructed, but I wish I had taken another week with some glitter and gold paint to take it to the next level! Merry Christmas! :love:

Noooo, I love it just the way you two made it! Thank you Imygyn for finding such special shells:love:

Yesterday I received Minnie's absolute grooviest beach ornament (along with the sweetest note)! ThankU-ThankU-ThankU Minnie!!!!! The truly cool thing is, this swimming fish isn't holiday specific so she's going to be part of my every-single-day ornamentation! Minnie this is so completely awesome, 'cuz that really is how I LIVE... surrounded by special things swimming around decorating every single day with smiles and joy!! See how fabulous she looks nestled amidst the greenery???? I'm thrilled beyond belief (and the 'house-fisher-man' totally digs her too!!)!

So glad you like it, there is a part missing, the little note that was in the card is a clue, but the shipping got delayed on it.

It is in route now, hope it makes it by Christmas, if not you will have an after Christmas surprise. :D

My secret SoWaller was Mango! :love: She knows me well. ;-) I love, love my ornaments. I hope you can see the detail on the flip flops! Thank you Mango! I will forever cherish the ornaments from you, as I cherish all the one's I have received from past SoWaller's! :love:

Everyone's ornaments are beautiful! A lot of talent around here!
