All I can say is that life would be more funn if I could draw. You people that were blessed with that ability should be very thankful. :clap_1:

hey there dbuck. I can draw like a little kid, and that is what I plan to do on my ornament! just "be the child", and you can't mess it up!

JDarg and IBD, thanks so much for bringing your Daisy Scouts to Fired Up - we had so much FUNN helping them get creative painting their ornaments! :roll:

Mrs. BB and I decided Little IBD should get a "Practically Picasso" award for the day... :clap_1: and that seeing one of JDarg's 'lil ones paint a Sowal ornament was priceless!

Tootsie, I'll set aside several of the large ball ornaments for you today at Fired Up. BTW, "No Pants Santa" sold yesterday, and the buyer wants several more to be painted by our staff to give as Christmas presents...

How did I miss "no pants Santa"???

Since Santa had no pants, he was hung by the chimney with care... :roll:

What's this with the 500 posts rule? The Cap'n and Gypsea are more about quality than quantity, but we've always been true to our Sowal buddies. I'm not a big ornament freak or anything, but it hurts a little to be shoo'ed away.

If you don't want the forum to be included, then why don't you just PM your close friends.

My ornaments are boring anyway. Gypsea's into themes. The tree's going up this weekend regardless. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

LOL

The 500 posts rule was somewhat necessary, but not totally enforced, especially for SoWal celebs and longtime posters like you and Gypsea!

Y'all come walk in the Turkey Trot tomorrow and we can fill ya in!

Haven't even started.

You have 12 days left until mailing time!!!!


Good job girls!! Remember---if you get your gift ornament in the mail---NO PEEKING!!!!

I thought you guys could use a tree to hang the ornaments on.

Haven't started mine yet. But I have my supplies I need on the way. Should be showing up at my work this week. I am getting a late start but I had to get an idea of what I wanted to do. I have a expert at work that is going to help me with designing anyway as she made me an ornament, well I am going to ask her for ideas anyway.

Haven't even started.

Me either, I am having a major mental block.

I'm going to Fired Up this week to do my ornaments. I have two secret sowallers!!! one good sowal friend didn't sign up in time, so we agreed to swap - and I'm so lucky to get two!!! Twice the funn...

If you hear of someone who wanted to swap but didn't sign up, then maybe you or someone you know will be willing to swap with them...

OL - do you need to be informed of these secret swaps?

PM me...maybe I can help.

I can make another ornament if needed...haven't started the first yet! tomorrow's project.

Working on mine. The first one I made got a big laugh out of the family, so I thought I might need to revamp the idea, which I did . . . some better. Could someone PLEASE tell me what kind of sealer does not make water-based paint run? I think I have tried it all.

I don't need to be informed. We'll all party together on the 18th and 19th anyway. But if there's still someone out there still I'd be glad to hook you up. Toots, it was so sweet of you to take on two. :clap_1:
