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:

Yes! And one year I did that and the next year when I got it out- I found that it had not dried!! I had nightmares that the inside would leak out all over the outside!!!

I have some painted on the inside. I thought they painted the glass before it was shaped...are you a glass blower too?

Beach Crazy....you live in Arkansas? I thought it was Mermaid because she said she sent hers through a go-between! I did not know we had any SoWalers in AR! What part? I have been crystal digging in AR! You should see my collection!

Merman and I were double lucky tonight because not only did we receive the most **perfect** ornaments from dbuck and Ocean Lover, we got a bonus.

Mango sent us these darling ornaments and now our house is filled with even more SoWal talent. Christmas definitely arrived with a big bang in the Midwest! :wub:

It's a chandelier crystal from an estate auction. I got the idea out of an old Southern Living book but made it my own...I used a humongous pine cone :lol:
