Can you believe this will be our 3rd annual exchange?

Ornaments should be mainly handmade but if you see something at a store that reminds you of that person you can pick that up too. We will wait and open our packages together one night in December, an ornament s/c/d/ party.;-) Same rules apply as past years with the exception of the post count. If you want to play...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) 1000* posts+ to participate. I realize this is a little more strict than in years past but I can only handle so much while working too. Email me and I may make an exception. :)

Questions? do a search first or ask here. If it isn't answered here then find me on facebook. :))



You have this week to sign up and email me! Deadline Friday morning. November 13. I'll draw names and have everyone their names by the end of the weekend. and the mail by date will be Monday, Dec. 7 with the party being the week of Dec. 14th. ( exact date to be deturmined) Heads up ...that only gives you about 3 weeks to complete the ornament.

Let the ideas flow and the funn begin!!

You silly gulls, this is funn, funn, funn! Remember back to when you were in kindergarten and you'd bring home all your hand-made treasurers and your mama would ooh and ahh like you were the next Picasso? Well, this is what our SoWal ornament exchange is like. We all ooh and ahh and love all the ornaments because we love the givers. :wub:
