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:

It's a plan!:clap_1: I would love to come to Tarpon Springs and swim with them.

WHAT a smart gull you are. Will you email me Djarg's. I think I might just overnight hers to her rather than having them meet up at such a busy time.

Oh thanks, Miss Kitty. I wish I could post a pic of my ornament but it may be tomorrow after Jen gets home and sends it to me. They are heading home this morning and Rowie P was smiling before I left home. Young adults were asleep all over the living room with #4, GK and Molly in my bed. I was going to say teenagers (well I guess most of them are still in their teens) but they are all turning 20 or already have. I guess we had a slumber party. And Rowie P slumbered ALL NIGHT! Yea!! Balder said post it on the board! He couldn't believe that I already knew about the gig in Mobile with Jerry Douglas!

Everyone did such an awesome job on the ornaments. I thought they would be tacky but they ARE NOT!!! Mine is sitting on my mantle and the hanger looks like a halo so I say it is a halo! Thanks again DD!
