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:

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:


We will see you later this week! Can't wait:clap_1: :clap_1: (i can't see santa with no pants as very attractive)

We used to have to watch Lawrence Welk.

Yes, I remember that too and then HeeHaw after that or was that before? Oh, I hated Hee Haw. :roll:

IBD and I went to Fired Up in Seaside today- took our Daisy Girl Scouts. It was too much fun and their ornaments look like they will be wonderful.

Beachbimmer and Mrs. Beachbimmer were THE BEST- helpful, fun, and full of lots of great ideas. This place is addictive.:clap_1:

Ladies night is Nov. 28th BTW--- get it on your calendars, local gals!

My exchange ornament is being cooked- I started it, then Darg Vader finished it- looking good!;-)

Kaylee and I got as far as buying the "framework" for our ornament. Now we are trying to decide how elaborate we will get!

:roll: Yeah...that is what I keep telling myself.

Beachmom and all our girls are going to paint ornaments (think I can talk Beachmom into painting something on mine?:biggrin: ) on Friday. Since I can't draw a stick person this should be interesting.:blink:

Yea! Sweet Potato is finished! Shhh, don't tell anyone but I finished mine tonight too. Once I get started on something like that I can't stop until it's done.

Some secret sowaller is going to be so lucky to own an OL original.
