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!!!!

I know. nothing like ornament crap shopping! maybe I'll go to Hobby Lobby this time instead of Michaels - the last few visits to Michaels were kind of uninspiring.
I always find good crap at Hobby Lobby. :wave:

One of our SoWal regulars coined that phrase on a rainy day while Jeff Foxworthy and family were painting at Fired Up. Stacy and I were trying to protect his identity so he could finish this coffee mug for his wife...(pregnant pause)....while about 40 other folks were all painting in the same room with him!
Ever tried to hide the funniest guy at the party from other guests? Does. not. work. Therefore...
"What happens at Fired Up, stays at Fired Up!"

I think today is the last day for signing up to do the ornament exchange. We should hear from Allifunn in a few days to get our secret ornament person's name. Then let the crap-making begin!!!

That depends, the options are endless, or are you talking about the place in the parking lot? It's been good in the past, but that's been years.

That may be the place I'm thinking. I've never been to Hobby Lobby. I'll ask Canuck.

HAVE FUNN!!!!!!! Don't forget to take a picture of your ornament before you send it off incase you're recipient can not post a pic. (you know who you are ;-) :wub:)
