No, but I did run across it searching for ideas for the lucky SoWaller that I got. ;-)

No, really I found him here.

OL, I haven't signed up because I'm not creative like my daughter and hubby. They are both left brain and right brain people. I am strictly left brain.

You couldn't talk the left brain into having a chat with right brain?

OMG, what's that sticking out of his hip?!

he's happy to see ya.

How'd they get my image as a mermaid?!

:clap_1: :clap_1: :clap_1: :clap_1: I GOT IT!

Yeah, I am so excited! Now...what in the heck can I make? I feel sorry for my ornament sowaller

i feel sorry for mine too - i am sooo not original or crafty !! but i will give it my best shot...

this is just great...

I have this!! My mother sent me this mermaid for my birthday, except mine's a magnet. She wrote me a note that said "I know I shouldn't encourage you, but....."

I am just like a little kid. :clap_1: :clap_1: I cannot wait to give my ornament, to the person that receives it, and CANNOT wait to open mine. This may be the best thread yet! I spent 2 hours looking for ideas. I may go to the book store and check out some magazines to see if I can find one that is perfect for my SoWaller.

It will be so hard to wait until the 18th at 9:00.

I pity the poor person that is getting an ornament from me. My victim has my permission to hang the ornament on the back of the tree.

You know you can do it. Look at all the Daisy swaps you made!!!!:clap_1:

Me too! I used to love doing all sorts of crafts, but I am so out of practice. The creative part of my brain has gone on hiatus.

Ladies, I know just what you mean - which is why I'm recruiting 5 year old Kaylee, the artist of the family, to guide me on this project (and I know Audie and Jdarg have access little helpers as well!!!!! Beachbummett, I hope you do, too!)

This is also a site that might have some cute ideas that you can use for inspiration.

I actually finished my ornament last night. It's teeny, though, so I think I may make a second one.... is that allowed?

some of us are going to Fired Up Seaside to paint our secret ornaments... they may look very primitive and child-like, but that's the christmas spirit coming through, right???
