*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)
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!

Poor Sunshine. She's been with my daughter and her zoo of 6 dogs, 3 cats and 30 horses. Sunny is so bummed here. She needs a Sowal Soiree so bad. Would you believe that I haven't even gotten my little angel a Christmas gift yet. Gotta try to get her something this week. Maybe even take her shopping. She'd LOVE that!
My poor girl...send her up here to stay with Sweetie....she would surely get over being so jealous!:funn:

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!
Thanks OL for arranging this.
My internet is once again on the blink, but finally got pictures to load and all the ornaments are fantastic! :clap_1: I just love, love my Jackalope and Mango. Mr. DD outdid himself. The mango looks like you could bite into it!!!
and I love my Xmas tree candle too. Y'all were too good to me.
I am surrounded by Jackalopes.
BB sent me a real one for my deskand it jumped out of the box. I tried extracting Jackalope milk, but ..........
Mermy, I'm glad we hate each other.

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!
Yes, I live in South Arkansas. I never did ask, when did you figure out it was me?;-)

Well, every one of these ornaments are great - - I'd be proud to have any of them. Amazing creativity & thoughtfulness! Hope this happens again next year; I'm in.
