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!!

Okay, here is my awesome ornament from DD! Like I said, I actual cried a little bit when I opened this. I had had such a crappy day and this made it all better.
I got my very own Potato Vixen! She is wearing a lovely sparkly red bra (my favorite color!) under her chef coat, and is cooking while playing the ukulele. DD even got the hair right! I love this SOOOO much!

Thank you so much, DD!

And, I will stand up and identify myself as Paula's secret SoWaller. And, good news, I took a pic before I sent it! Paula, it was so fun making your ornament, and I am so glad you like it. Merry Christmas!

:lol: You're welcome!!! The fluffy critter had groovy antlers until I decided to give him earrings, which broke off his antlers. My friends said he looks like a hedgehog. I think he now looks like Shooter with a headcold! Cheers and enjoy The Season~~~~~~

:floor: He was supposed to be a reindeer. I will take pics of his antlers with the groovy earrings and post.

I had a reindeer theme for the beachbimmer's, but you just have to go with the flow sometimes. :lol:

Yours is beautiful!!

Here are some more photos of my ornament for aggieb. For a non-artist, I thought that it turned out very fun and colorful.

SWGB, daughter tried to steal the ornaments that you made for me ... except for the Vera Bradley one. The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.:lol:

The original idea was to include a book of matches in that one. :biggrin:
