Can you believe this will be our 3rd annual exchange?

Ornaments should be mainly handmade but if you see something at a store that reminds you of that person you can pick that up too. We will wait and open our packages together one night in December, an ornament s/c/d/ party.;-) Same rules apply as past years with the exception of the post count. If you want to play...please email
OLbunnyfunn@aol.com with your sowal name and your real name and address. I will draw names and send you your person!

*Lurkers need not apply! (not to be rude--we wouldn't know anything about you) 1000* posts+ to participate. I realize this is a little more strict than in years past but I can only handle so much while working too. Email me and I may make an exception. :)

Questions? do a search first or ask here. If it isn't answered here then find me on facebook. :))



You have this week to sign up and email me! Deadline Friday morning. November 13. I'll draw names and have everyone their names by the end of the weekend. and the mail by date will be Monday, Dec. 7 with the party being the week of Dec. 14th. ( exact date to be deturmined) Heads up ...that only gives you about 3 weeks to complete the ornament.

Let the ideas flow and the funn begin!!

Just got mine from a neighbor, it was apparently delivered to the wrong unit. I can't wait, although the tag gives away who sent it. Thanks dunelaker in advance I know I'll love it!

What!! I just got back in town and had left instructions with someone that the package was to be delivered just before the 15th in case something happened and I didn't get back in town to deliver it to"the correct place!!" Don't know who or how a "tag" got on outside. Oh well. Glad it made it safely.

When are we doing this party? I accidentally already opened mine and LOVE IT! (Kid in a candy store kinda' thing.) I really love the concept of the exchange with people we don't really know, too!!!!

So, do we take a pic and post?

You violated a basic rule, you're out next year. Just kidding.

You take a picture and post it during the party, when is it again?

Tootsie, I think that because you are the spouse of Mr. SoWal.com, you should decide when this partay gets started. I am worried about OL, but as I've said, I called her and she doesn't answer her phone.

Should we do a roll call and make certain everyone has received their package? (Mine went out dangerously late.) :biggrin: But, it seems from the other thread that the party is to be the 15th - tomorrow!

Yep, that's what I thought too..the 16th. Matters not to me, but if it's Wednesday, I might be a little late posting. Yes, I think I saw OL's daughter's b'day is today.

I've had mine several days! It soo hard not to open it. Wednesday is fine for me, but I'll be late (choir practice at 7:45pm). So don't wait on me. I'll either post early or late!!
