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!!!!

Made the HL trip yesterday. Got some ornament crap, but discovered I really had most of what I needed already. It's coming along. Today, I've got some painting to do. :wave:

Still in the research and ornament contemplation mode. Finally, I found something very useful about Facebook! (find some good details/photos, etc of your secret ornament pal!).
Darlene is my middle name, not my nickname

I do, can't help myself! (speaking of, if you get a chance to see The Social Network, do it, it's a really good movie, even if you don't use facebook. You'll get more of the jokes if you do though... 🙂
I already facebook-stalked my ornarecipient, and she/he is not on there, boo! I do have some SoWal clues to go by though 😀
