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 currently have a glue gun. I have had quite a few in my lifetime- they get thrown out when I occasionally come to the conclusion that I hate Martha Stewart's guts.

Wow! You're good. I'm treating it like a term paper. Deadline is Dec. 9............it will be mailed on the 9th.

No, really it will be mailed the 8th because that's Friday and then I am heading back south for the fam Christmas party. I'm on an every two week schedule right now.

Lot's of driving! :bang:

don't be too impressed mama - i had to mail it today, i go back to work monday night, and work until the 11th....so it was either today or monday, and i do not go to the ups or post offices on mondays, you are taking your life into your own hands to do so...

Mines still sitting here but I would suggest mailing it asap. You just never know. I'll try to get mine out early next week.

Relax, Fired Up will be there when you're ready! OPEN 10AM-5PM EVERY DAY INCLUDING SUNDAYS.

If your pottery is painted and dry by 4pm, we'll glaze & fire it that night - ready for pickup NEXT DAY BY 1PM.

Oh, and we can even arrange shipping for you through our friends at the UPS Store @ Watercolor Crossing...so your special SoWal friend will get their ornament on time!

usps.com just told me that my ornament reached its destination city today. So if my person didn't get it today, it should be in their mailbox by Monday. :clap_1: I'm excited.
