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!!!!

If you beaches get together for a night of drunken ornamaking, you better invite me!

I mean, uh, I have all the fun crafty supplies already... lots of beads and yarn and sparkly things, and a whole bag full of popsicle sticks. Everybody knows you can't craft worth a d@m# without popsicle sticks. So you really should invite me, it would be in your best interest. ;-)
I want a violin from you! ;-)

let's do it! I've always threatened to make my ornament from popsicle sticks, beer cans (did it), and macaroni. whatever we make MUST include lots of glue and glitter.

This sounds like a great idea. Me and destinscuba have enough crafting stuff for about 20 kindergarten classes.

Speaking of which does anyone know of an art teacher in need of egg cartons? We have about 40-50 that have been moving with us entirely too long.
