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:

I'm ready!!! Lets try to sign up extra early this year so we will know who our sowalpal is early enough to really customize the ornament, if we want to :biggrin:
Of course...I tend to procrastinate :roll:, so if I know even earlier this year, I can start on it ASAP!

I'm putting off doing what I need to do today, so I went back and looked at the pics. They are all so cute, everyone did a grayt job. I want to do this too. Can't believe its that time of year to think about it.
I even saw that stupid Lowes Christmas commercial yesterday. I guess it starts the day after Halloween.

I should probably give you guys a heads up. My MIL was admitted to the hospital today. Wednesday as far as we knew she was fine. Thursday she went to the dr and was diagnosed with a unrinary tract infection and was put on Cipro. The day got progressively worse and worse and she called my SIL to come and spend the night last night. (Mr OL lost his Dad a little over a year ago) SIL called the squad early this morning. They thought she was having a heart attack, crashed on the way, intubated then did a heart cath. Her heart is fine. She's in septis shock. Right now she wouldn't be here if it weren't for the meds and ventilator. The next 12 hours are critical so if you pray..pray please. It's very serious. She's 71 but otherwise been in good health. She just got back from a bus trip out west. I don't know what's going to happen in the next few days. That's totally up to God.

I'm going to start a 2007 ornament thread soon. I still have my handy dandy spiral so I won't need your address if you've participated before but I will have you email OLbunnyfunn@aol.com to confirm your spot. You can do that anytime. The email was set up and used specifically for this. If you're new you have to tell me who you are on the board and then give me your full name and address. Ax murderers need not apply.:biggrin::shock:

Sorry to hear about your MIL. My mom became septic due to a URI and survived, but it took a while to recover. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
