Thank you so much, OL for your years of wonderful ornament exchange coordinating!! I can not do it justice, but with the help of 2 wonderful wenches (Tootsie and DD) I will attempt to make it funn!
Annual SoWal Ornament Exchange
1000 posts to participate
How: Email me your SoWal name, real name and address by November 30th. I will draw names and get your recipient's information to you. This information will remain anonymous.
alison1135@aol.com
What: Hand make or purchase an ornament which is personal to your recipient. Keep it simple...no one wants to stress about this!
Mail it to your receipient by December 15th. This is not a hard and fast rule, A few days late will not hurt.
This year we thought it would be funn to open your ornament as soon as you receive it in the mail and post a picture of it!! An on-going opening party! Who will be the first lucky SoWaller to post their ornament??
*If you feel unfamilliar with your receipent, I will start a thread about getting to know your SoWaller.
*DD and Tootsie will be adding more information to this thread!!!!

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. 😀
Rec'd Part Deux today!
A warm, charming, li'l book entitled "How to Live at The Beach".
Here's one (among the many) of the beautiful wisdoms within:
"That slow, crooked, seemingly aimless path of our lives at the beach may just be us getting closer and closer to our best selves". :wub:
THANK-U Minnie!

Thank you, thank you to KTSChris for the beautiful ornaments! The seashell is made from recycled cotton fiber, flowers, and wildflower seeds. The cool thing is you can enjoy it on the Christmas tree, then plant it & water and it will grow and bloom!

Guilt worked.
Merry Xmas Miss Kitty!
I love it!

Meet Senor Juan Pin, our bowling nemesis. Miss Kitty has lovingly hand crafted him, note the holiday bolero. Perhaps seasonal ones can be arranged?


The actual ornament is lovingly displayed next to previous years. DS hasn't had the opportunity to write on the names someone forgot *cough*Miss Kitty*cough*.
It also included some t-shirts we can wear when we go bowling in February.
I did look through and all of the other ornaments are great as well. Who knows maybe I'll come back next year for another round of ornament making. :wave:

:wub:...I love when guilt works! I love you two, as well! :wub:
Senor Juan Pin is that nasty little pin that just won't fall down, but we have grown to adore him. I love the seasonal bolero idea! I am glad he will stay out of a box and will entertain y'all all year long!
Yes, the ornament thing will be much better when Scuba finishes the job for me. :lol: The pins should have our names on them...Kitty, SWGB, Scuba and Jfunn. The original SoWal Bowling League! :cool:

I started this in another thread but if you don't believe in Christ what tree do you put your ornament on... Just stirring the pot 😉
