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.

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)

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:

oh, I'm the lucky one. I got two good 'uns...

Mine's sorta done. Need to tweak it a little. mr. dd and I are not agreeing on what his is going to be. I should just shut up and let him do it, but he needs help. :bang:

Monday the 18th in the evening is the official date with the 19th being the make up party date. We realize this date doesn't work for everyone but after that we can post about our ornaments anytime.

went to Michael's today and got a load of stuff to make ornaments in general with kids, and may be able to create my sowal ornament with a little creativity, which i think is greatly inspired by a bottle of red.

we'll just have to compare ornaments, then each buy ourselves a drink from the other -
