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:

All the girls (and a few boys) over on www.craftster.org have tons of great, unique ornament ideas.

I think the Dec.9th would be a good "mail by" date. Then we can plan the party a week or so later. I'm thinking a week night might be best because all the parties and such going on during the weekend. As always I'm flexible.

December 9th mailing is fine...but I won't be around for opening them together until the 22nd or 23rd. If you wnat to challenge me...you'll have to go for those dates.....:biggrin: Or maybe we could have the "mail by" date be the 7th or 8th and then open on the 9th? I know it will get crazy with parties, and I have a wedding to help cater on the 9th...but maybe we could plan it for later in the evening? Or have the opening date as the 8th?? Just do whatever works for the majority....:idontno: If I can't be there...I can't be there....:(

That sounds reasonable to me. BTW, how many SoWallers have signed up? Have any of the guys signed up? :biggrin:

Any of those days are fine with me thus far, except Dec. 18th, I won't be home until around 8 pm. I'll be away that weekend.
Anytime after 8 pm is fine. If for some reason everyone wants to go earlier that than that, I can post when I get home.

No guys signed up so far. I thought I wouldn't start harassing people until Thursday since Fridays the deadline. :biggrin: There are 16 of us signed up so far.

I also thought we probably won't start until after 9 pm anyway. It would give some of you time to get home and some of us need to get kids to bed!
