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)

Kurt, I found the ornament right where I suspected...nestled at the bottom of the trusty FedEx package. We love it! I am too technologically limited to get a photo of it on-line. But all of you who post here know it well. It is a Christmas heart on a gold ribbon, with my favorite scene from Grayton (tall pines by Western Lake) on one side and a shot of Conch Out in all the glory of her new colors on the flip side! We will cherish this, Kurt and it WILL make the trip to Grayton. In fact, reminded me to take down the box of special ornaments to add to our K-Mart collection that lives at Conch Out.

Jeez, I hope my brother made good on his promise to get a tree for us. Otherwise, they will all be taken by Friday and we may end up with an old tv antenna stuck into a large block of styrafoam!

We have something for Spidey, so hope you will bring him by with you. Thanks again for a lovely keepsake and for the print. I will frame it, for sure.
