We've talked about this and I don't think anyone is organizing it so ....I'm going to get us started! I think the ornaments should be mainly handmade but if you saw something at a store that reminded you of that person you could pick that up too. We could all wait and open our packages together one night in December, an ornament postathon if you will. Or some other funn plan...I'm open to any and all suggestions. Participation is not an option*!!!!! Grinches, bah humbuggers, you know who you are;-) ....this will put you in the C'mas spirit. :biggrin: I have created a new email just for this purpose. Please email OLbunnyfunn@aol.com with your sowal name and your real name and address.* I will draw names and send you your person!

*Lurkers need not apply! (not to be rude--we wouldn't know anything about you) 500 posts+ or you are new and chatty.( Beach Jacket comes to mind plus we already kind of know her):biggrin:

I know what you mean, GTTBM. You know, I really don't want to make an ornament out of Popsicle sticks. :blush:

I have a niece who is almost 4:idontno: think she will be any help?:idontno:

Here she is Halloween:
Cute little poodle!!!

I've gotta add another plug for Craftster.org.... if you check out their "special occasion/holiday" section, there are oodles of grayt ideas. There are lots of talented people on that site, and there are craft ideas for people of all skill levels.

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

Oh yes, you may make as many as you wish...a whole set if you like.

Hey, ya'll, just a quick note that we just got in another case of the 3" round ball ornaments that have been so popular in SoWal. These are great for sketching out and then painting your design, as they have a big enough surface area to allow you to get really creative...stop in and ask to see the ornament spotlighting Santa with no pants! :eek:

Also have more of the Christmas trees, mittens, snowman and snowflake ornaments in stock and/or on the way this week. We nearly ran out last week due to the demand, so c'mon in and pick out yours today! :clap_1:

Reminder that we're open 10am-5pm every day including Sundays, so you can paint your "art" out today if you'd like! :biggrin:
